With Thursday Night Football less than a week away, Traeger is taking tailgating to the next level.

In partnership with Bud Light, the company has created the ultimate game day innovation: the Traegerator — a first-of-its-kind machine built to deliver everything fans need before kickoff. With wood-fired flavor at the center, the Traegerator combines: smoky meats hot off the grill, ice-cold Bud Light on tap and built-in speakers to keep the party going. To celebrate the launch, Traeger and Bud Light teamed up with NFL stars 49ers Tight End, George Kittle and Buccaneers Quarterback, Baker Mayfield, for a nostalgic, 1990s-themed parody infomercial that brings Bud Light’s classic humor to the grill.

In it, Kittle and Mayfield dream up a grill that can simultaneously grill meat and pour beer. Suddenly, their dreams become a reality and the Traegerator is born as the grill top, designed to look like a Bud Light can, is lifted to unveil the meats and kick off the jingle. Kittle, Mayfield and their group of friends show off all the Traegerator’s features from the speakers to the keg and fresh-off-the-grill meats as the party gets into full swing.

The infomercial shows there is nothing better than drinking some ice-cold Bud Light, smoking some meats, and hanging with your friends – all made possible with the “Traegerator” *sung in tune*! “I love Bud Light and I love grilling, so it was great to collab with my friends at Bud Light and make the Traegerator as epic as possible,” said George Kittle in a statement. “Baker and I had a blast singing and dancing on set, and I haven’t been able to get the Traegerator song out of my head since!”

“While George and I prepare extensively for our games every week, we also know a thing or two about tailgating and have become pros behind the grill as well,” added Baker Mayfield. “The Traegerator combines two of the best parts of tailgating on game day, so this is a pretty sweet creation. Football is almost here, and I can’t wait to see what fans get to have some Bud Light and the Traegerator at a tailgate this season.”

To bring the heat to your next tailgate, fans 21+ can comment #Traegerator and #Sweepstakes on Bud Light’s dedicated post on Instagram for a chance to win a tailgate with the Traegerator this football season. Fans can stay tuned for more fun to come throughout the season.
