When it comes to cooking, kids can often be our biggest critics. They don’t care whether the beef is wagyu or the vegetables are heirloom, they just want it to taste GOOD. Luckily, cooking meals on a Traeger is a surefire way to please the kiddos. But don’t take our word for it—to celebrate Father’s Day, we decided to ask some of the smallest members of the Traegerhood some questions about their dads’ grill skills and more.

The Traeger crew took Aussie fly fishing guide, Captain Jonathan Jones aka @RedBeard down the Green River for a fresh water fishing adventure. They floated the river, reeled in beautiful trout, and smoked tri-tip and tequila on the Traeger.

Mitch, a rugged cowboy from Missouri, enjoys smoking and curing his own bacon, as well as cooking wild game on the Traeger. He is “living the dream right now” as he strives to survive off the land, like the pioneers. His unique outlook on life and rowdy nature make him one of a kind.

Traeger has always been about more than grilling—it’s about leaning into food as a powerful way to connect, express love, and extend generosity. That’s what drove Amanda Riggan to establish and grow Hungry Heroes. In an effort to heal her community after tragedy, she helped in the way that came naturally to her—with food. Today, Hungry Heroes has grown into a national, full-family affair to serve and thank first responders and military personnel for the sacrifices they make serving us.
