Traeger has some great recipes and videos at their website - definitely my first place to look as I learn the ropes (no, not affiliated with them, nor profit in any way. Just a fan).

However when I tried to somehow group or save multiple recipes, I couldn’t make them convenient for a meal - lots of clicking back and forth, too much searching yet again for the same recipe

trying to print or share - they only send the link, which is not useful.
“Saving” only worked for one item
You couldn’t effectively create a meal plan with multiple recipes - no way to assign tasks, combine shopping lists, coordinate steos

Anyone have tips on how to use them more effectively?

I had been looking at recipe managers anyway, since too many online recipes are unusable from ads and lengthy chats, or not posted in a permanent spot you can hyperlink. I tried printing to file but that only worked half the time. Traeger recipes may not have had all that crap, but we’re still limited by the site.

Paprika

I ended up buying Paprika App for iPhone/iPad (just a customer. No connection, no profit). I see a lot of significant pluses and a few less significant minuses, so overall great so far

PROs

It had no problem importing from Traeger recipes as well as every other online recipe I tried. Import from web site is fantastic!
Paprika lets you create convenient meal plans and a combined shopping list.
It claims the feature of keeping your screen active when following a recipe but I haven’t tried that yet.
While You do still have to coordinate timing and steps yourself, it’s a LOT more convenient clicking between multiple recipes

CONs

can’t assign recipes, like for a family event where everyone is responsible for something
doesn’t understand ingredient groups. For example the Traeger Breakfast Burrito recipe has ingredients for hot sauce and the burrito, but on import Paprika decided a frozen burrito was an ingredient
doesn’t have a way to import all those recipes I printed to file. There’s an FAQ that says just copy-paste but you have to do it per field. Maybe that’s ok on a PC screen where you can put windows by side to copy back and forth but not on a phone
