If you grill it, they will come.
In a match made in grilling heaven, Traeger, renowned for its wood-pellet grills, has joined forces with Louisville Slugger, the official bat of Major League Baseball, to introduce the limited-edition Traeger Louisville Slugger Pellets. This groundbreaking partnership combines the rich history of baseball with the joy of wood-fire grilling, promising a unique and flavorful experience for barbecue aficionados and sports fans alike.
Crafted from the same maple wood used in Louisville Slugger baseball bats, Traeger’s maple pellets offer a sweet smoke flavor that pays homage to the game’s iconic legacy. Jeremy Andrus, CEO of Traeger Grills, emphasizes, “Wood isn’t just the fuel, it’s the secret ingredient,” noting Traeger’s three decades of dedication to perfecting hardwood pellets. “We’re bringing the same maple wood professional baseball players utilize at the plate to the plates in backyard cookouts,” he says.
Derived from maple wood found in New York and Pennsylvania forests, the pellets not only elevate grilling experiences but also uphold sustainability values by repurposing leftover bat manufacturing materials to unite the spirits of baseball and BBQ.
Versatile and compatible with various dishes, from meats to vegetables and baked goods, Traeger’s Louisville Slugger Pellets are poised to become a staple for grill masters and baseball enthusiasts alike. With flavors that echo the crack of a bat and the sizzle of a grill, this collaboration promises to be a grand slam for gatherings across the U.S.
