Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Traeger Legacy (Non-WiFIRE, AC motor) (300W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traeger Touchscreen Class (Pro 780, Ironwood 650/885) | 20W | 95W | Safe | ~35.8h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** ~20 W (estimated cook phase — auger motor + fan + controller after igniter shuts off). **Surge:** 95 W (igniter startup phase, first 4 minutes). Requires 120V AC output. After the igniter cycle, power drops dramatically. Field note: Current-generation Traeger grills are extremely efficient. Even a compact 300Wh power station can run a full 6-hour cook on a single charge. The 95W igniter startup is the only meaningful load. Can I run a Traeger Pro 780 on a portable power station? Yes — after the 4-minute ignition cycle (95W), the grill draws only ~20W. Most power stations handle this easily for extended cooks. | |||||
| Traeger D2 Class (WiFIRE, non-touchscreen) | 20W | 110W | Safe | ~35.8h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 20 W (cook phase — 0.17A high end of OEM range × 120V). **Surge:** 110 W (igniter startup). Requires 120V AC output. D2 Direct Drive uses DC brushless motors that are more efficient than Legacy AC motors. Field note: D2 grills sit between Legacy (300W startup) and Touchscreen (95W startup). The cooking draw is nearly identical to Touchscreen class — the difference is only in the igniter startup phase. What's the difference between D2 and Touchscreen power draw? D2 startup is 110W vs 95W for Touchscreen. After ignition, both draw approximately 10-20W during cooking. The difference is negligible for power station sizing. | |||||
| Traeger Legacy (Non-WiFIRE, AC motor) | 96W | 300W | Safe | ~7.5h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 96 W (cook phase — 0.8A high end of OEM range × 120V). **Surge:** 300 W (igniter startup, OEM published). Requires 120V AC output. Legacy AC motors draw 5-8x more than modern D2/Touchscreen grills during cooking. Field note: If you have an older non-WiFIRE Traeger, plan for 300W surge and 96W continuous. This is 5x the cooking draw of a modern Touchscreen model. A 500Wh station barely covers a 6-hour cook — a 1000Wh station is safer. Why does my old Traeger draw so much more than new models? Legacy non-WiFIRE Traegers use AC motors and a higher-wattage igniter (300W vs 95-110W). The cooking phase draws 48-96W vs 10-20W for D2/Touchscreen. Upgrading to a current model dramatically reduces power needs. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 2700W surge rating can support typical motor-driven appliances during startup, including residential refrigerators, sump pumps, and air compressor loads. The 1800W running capacity can handle simultaneous operation of multiple mid-range devices. This configuration addresses intermittent high-draw scenarios common in backup power applications.
LFP chemistry provides inherent thermal stability advantages over conventional lithium-ion chemistries. The 1024Wh capacity and dual output ratings reflect design margins for sustained and transient loads. Source: EcoFlow DELTA 2 User Manual v1.0 (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 96 W (worst case, Legacy Non-WiFIRE cook phase). Surge: 300 W (Legacy igniter startup). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Pellet grills have two distinct phases: a brief igniter startup (4-5 min, high draw) followed by hours of low-draw cooking (auger + fan only).
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~7.5h. Power draw depends heavily on controller generation. Modern Touchscreen models (Pro 780, Ironwood) draw 95W startup / ~20W cooking. Legacy Non-WiFIRE models draw 300W startup / 48-96W cooking. Most of the cook session is at the low running wattage.
Field Note
Check your Traeger's controller type before sizing a power station. A modern Touchscreen model runs all day on a 300Wh station. A Legacy Non-WiFIRE model needs 500-1000Wh for a full cook.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow DELTA 2 power a Pellet Grill?
Yes. The EcoFlow DELTA 2 provides 1800W running / 2700W surge. The Pellet Grill needs 111W / 345W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 1689W of running headroom and 2355W of surge margin.
How long will the DELTA 2 run a Pellet Grill?
Approximately 7.5 hours, based on the Pellet Grill's 96W draw and the DELTA 2's 1024Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 1020W allocated to the Pellet Grill, the DELTA 2 still has ~324W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
