My new Traeger PTG arrived today and it looks like it will be a great grill for the camper. It will also get some use in the backyard.

The only thing wrong was the lid locking hasp on the right side was broke and I repaired it.

The cooking area is small but I think I can work with it. I made up a raised grid so I can cook on two layers for items that are not too tall and will fit. I also have a cast iron griddle and a 10" pizza stone that will fit the cooker.

I installed an Ortech controller and the RTD temperature detector.

The temperature detector was about 1-1/2" too long so I had to rework it to fit the cooker.
Will try to get it seasoned up tomorrow and then cook something

Hasty Bake makes a grill 'extender' that I use quite a bit.. Big enough to slide a cast iron skillet underneath, and have a pan above it.
Might be a good addition to the PTG team..
