The smell of fresh-cut grass and warming temperatures signify baseball season is upon us. I am the head baseball coach at a high school in Texas, so this time of year is always special. Just in time to help kick off baseball and grilling season, Traeger, the pioneers of wood-pellet grills, has partnered with Louisville Slugger, the official bat of Major League Baseball, to bring us the limited-edition Traeger Louisville Slugger Pellets. I can’t think of a better collaboration to celebrate the traditions of baseball and barbecue!
The limited-edition Traeger Louisville Slugger Pellets are crafted from the same maple hardwood that makes Louisville Slugger bats a standard on the diamond. The sweet smoke flavor connects baseball fans and meat-smoking enthusiasts to the game’s history and rich traditions.
Louisville Slugger has a storied history in baseball, and Traeger Grills shares our commitment to quality and tradition. Our maple hardwood, trusted by baseball legends, now adds a distinctive flavor to Traeger’s premium pellets. It’s a winning combination that brings the spirit of the game to every backyard barbecue. – Jennette Rauch, senior director of global marketing at Louisville Slugger
The maple wood used in Louisville Slugger Bats is from the forests of New York and Pennsylvania, which are renowned for their suitability for crafting baseball bats. No, Traeger isn’t recycling old bats into pellets; instead, they are utilizing a byproduct of bat manufacturing.
By repurposing the leftover wood from bat manufacturing, Traeger is giving new purpose to these discarded materials by turning them into a high-quality pellet for their customers’ barbecuing needs.
Wood isn’t just the fuel, it’s the secret ingredient. Traeger has dedicated over 30 years to perfecting the art of hardwood pellets. We’re bringing the same maple wood professional baseball players utilize at the plate to the plates in backyard cookouts. Partnering with Louisville Slugger, a brand ingrained in the fabric of baseball for over a hundred years, was a natural fit, and we’re thrilled to bring this unique product to the Traegerhood. – Jeremy Andrus, Traeger Grills CEO
The smoke produced by the maple wood in the limited-edition Traeger Louisville Slugger Pellets will perfectly complement many dishes, including beef, pork, chicken, lamb, vegetables, and even baked goods.
If you love cooking outdoors and you’re a baseball fan or just enjoy the flavor of maple wood, this will be the perfect addition to your pellet grilling and barbecuing routine this summer!
