Perfect for everyday use
Perfect in every way - didn’t but this to tailgate but wanted a smaller pellet grill for the deck that works for a retired couple. Get hot fast and cooks perfectly. Going to make great Xmas gifts for the adult kids!

No Hassle Grilling
I bought my tailgate pit about 4 years ago. We just love the simplicity and effective operation of this pit. It's great for chickens, ribs, sausage, steaks and even a medium turkey. We use our pit on the weekends and love it!

Mini Brisket Commander
Just incase you were wondering, yes you CAN cook a Full Brisket in it. Be careful of the drippings, but it came out perfect.

Don’t recommend buying.
I’ve had mine 1 year. It’s been used less than a dozen times and the control panel doesn’t work. The temperature knob does whatever it wants ehen I turn it. If I turn it down the set point might go down, but it’s more likely to actually go up. Only way I can set a temperature is on the app. The grill is a piece of junk snd I’d never buy it again. Oh if you’re looking to get a smoke taste from the grill, forget about it. You’ll definitely need to buy a flavor bar if you want any smoke flavor.

Perfect Size for Home or the Road
Perfect Size for Home or the Road. Portable and great for the backyard or the neighbor's beachhouse when you are in charge of meals. The small cooking chamber holds the heat well and the hopper box is just the right size for overnight cooks like brisket, pork butts, or beef ribs. Holds the tempertaure well. I like this one so much I take it as one of the grills in my competition cooking aresenal. Terrific price for the versatility.

Disappointment
Doesnt seem like it's a target grill. Not made to last. Mine is 2 years and the plastic lid hinges both broke and the legs are wobbly. I really don't like the all electronic controls. Just doesn't work like the bigger Traeger.

Piece of junk
So glad I got this for free from zyn. Cause I wouldn’t pay a dime for it. It’s a piece of junk. The manual you get is useless. It’s won’t hold temp for anything. It garbage. Do not buy the tailgatter

Junk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Broke out of the box. No power to unit. Not impressed with this supposed great product of a traeger. Glad I did not buy a large one

Cannot recommend the Tailgater 20
Does not maintain set temperature. It has always run about 35 degrees hotter than what was set and now no matter what you set, it jumps to 245 degrees and stays there. I cannot recommend a product that cost this much and fails this miserably.

Very cute and versatile
While we have a full size Traeger at our house, we also have a Tailgater at our apartment out on the balcony. Don’t let this cute little guy fool you, it is awesome! It can do anything my full sized grill can, but in many cases, better. We do chicken, rack of lamb, and ribs regularly. Last night we cranked it up to 450 degrees and cooked the best veal chops we have ever had! Love it!
