Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Given that this marks the unofficial start of summer, it should come as no surprise that Memorial Day is the second most popular grilling holiday in the United States, right behind the Fourth of July. With now 50% of American adults fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (and ready to travel), it will be safe once again to host or attend the hottest holiday barbeque on the block this Memorial Day.

What you may not realize, however, is how Wi-Fi can help you grill the perfect steak, burger, brat or hot dog this holiday weekend.

That’s right, grill giant Traeger recently unveiled their Traeger WiFIRE® technology that will help usher in the future of connected grills. The new technology allows the grill master to command the grill from wherever in the house or on-the-go using a Wi-Fi controller that connects to your smartphone. WiFIRE allows the user to connect to an Apple Watch as well and establish “GrillGuide” custom cook cycles through the WiFIRE controller.

Wi-Fi isn’t just about sending emails or messages anymore. For more on how Wi-Fi helps us in unexpected ways, visit the Traeger WiFIRE website here.
