Why is indirect cooking better?
Indirect cooking is healthier and allows for more even cooking. Because the Traeger Pellet Grill cooks like a convection oven, your food is surrounded by hot, smoky vapors that help to seal in moisture and flavor your food while cooking it evenly throughout. Additionally, with direct cooking, fatty juices come in contact with the fire, creating smoke that contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), a known cancer-causing agent.
