Traeger pellet grills and smokers are the centerpiece of many suburban barbecues, and those lucky enough to be able to care for these machines are considered gods in the chest set. Now, after years of just being able to check and adjust your grill using your phone, Traeger is now offering an Apple Watch app for moving grills.
Traeger’s grills are Wi-Fi enabled, which means you can connect to them remotely. The phone app currently offers recipes and notifications that tell you when meat reaches a certain temperature. You can also change the heat and even activate the smoker remotely.
The Apple Watch app is similar, but simpler. The application allows you to change the temperature, check the temperature of the probe and activate the heating mode when the meal ends. The video below shows an idyllic example where the grill puts some meat on the grill and then goes walking in the snow, checking the grill with the comfort of your wrist.
Apple Watch apps are not new, but this one is particularly spicy because, while not technologically impressive, it puts control of your smoked pork shoulder directly on your wrist. If this is not the future, I don’t know what is.
