SMOKEY FRENCH TOAST WITH HOME DEPOT & TRAEGER GRILLS

When growing up every single holiday, special occasion or birthday required french toast made by my daddio! With the holidays right around the corner, I have been trying to perfect his french toast recipe (with a twist) so I can impress the people on Christmas morning!

I was scrolling through Tik Tok one day and I saw someone making French Toast on their grill!!!! Like what?! OMG Smokey French Toast, need I say more?! 

We recently upgraded to The Traeger Timberland 1300 Grill! TraegerGrill is a convection-based wood pellet grill where high tech meets old fashioned grilling. But I like to think of the Timberland 1300 as the MAC DADDY of Traeger grills. Now that I’ve used this bad boy for a few months now, I am really starting to experiment with some cool recipes that I never knew you could do on a grill!

The wonderful thing about purchasing a grill at The Home Depot is that they offer FREE DELIVERY on all grills purchased online. If anyone purchases a grill valued at $399 and above in-store, they also will qualify for FREE ASSEMBLY and delivery. 


There are a lot of reasons why Traeger is KING but here are some of my favorite reasons: 

  • Equipped with smart, WiFIRE technology and all-new D2 Drivetrain (The new D2 drive-train will deliver maximum flavor to your food thanks to its broader temperature ranges).

  • Control your wi-fi pellet grill anywhere with the WiFIRE digital controller which allows you to set and adjust temperatures and monitor cooking from your smartphone.

  • Designed with 6-in-1 functionality to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbecue with consistent results. We ain’t just grillin’ over here!

Built-in main rack plus middle and upper racks provide 1300 sq. inches of cooking surface for a big ol’ Brisket or as Traeger states it can hold the following: up to 60 hamburgers, 12 chickens, 82 hot dogs, or 14 racks of ribs (no, not all at once).

We can make a lot of french toast for all of the family members who consume 6+ slices each! 

  • Three cooking tiers include two dual-position removable racks.

  • Double-wall stainless-steel interior helps maintain even temperature and keep smoke inside.

  • Fueled by all-natural wood pellets for real wood-fired flavor 

  • Easy to use + easy cleanup
