If you’re an avid griller, you know that Traeger grills are some of the best on the market. They’re easy to use, durable, and produce delicious food. However, what do you do if you don’t have the Traeger app or if it’s not working? Don’t worry, shutting down your Traeger grill without the app is easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Turn Off the Power

The first step is to turn off the power to your grill. To do this, simply unplug it from the outlet. If your grill is hardwired, you’ll need to turn off the breaker that powers it.

2. Let the Grill Cool Down

Once the power is off, let the grill cool down for at least 15 minutes. This will give the grill time to cool down and prevent any injuries.

3. Open the Lid
