Did my first cook Sunday and the Treager worked great, forgot to take pictures. The thing I find funny is if I use any pellet's other than Treager brand voids the 3 year warranty, how would they know? I appreciate the advise certainly will explore other pellet brands.
There is a persistent rumor that using anything other than manufacturer branded pellets will void a smoker/grill warranty.
That is not true, at least not in the United States. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C.A. 2302) forbids the conditioning of a warranty upon the purchase of any product or service which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name.
In other words, your smoker or grill warranty cannot be voided just because you used a non-branded pellet.
But incredibly blatant in disregard, here is a quote from the Traeger Grills dot com website
Warning Using any brand of pellets other than Traeger pellets will void the warranty of your grill.
That is pure scare-tactic marketing B.S. and not legally defensible.
