Pros & cons
Traeger Woodridge Pro
- ✓It replaces the Pro 575/780 with far more grill per dollar - 970 sq in, a pellet sensor, Super Smoke, and a side shelf for about $1,000
- ✓Traeger extended a 10-year warranty to the Woodridge line, a massive jump from the 3 years on the old Pro and Ironwood models
- ✓The updated controller holds temps noticeably tighter than the old D2 Pro series, and WiFIRE app control is the most mature in the category
- ✓Super Smoke mode - previously reserved for Ironwood and up - delivers genuinely better bark and smoke ring at low temps
- ✓The 24 lb hopper with a digital pellet sensor covers overnight briskets and warns you before running dry
- ✓Dual meat probes come standard, an upgrade over the single probe Traeger used to include at this tier
- ✓The bottom storage shelf and folding side shelf address long-running complaints about bare-bones Traeger carts
- ✓Early owner discussions owner reports and Engadget's review agree it fixes most of what made the Pro series feel dated
- ✗It still tops out at 500°F with no direct-flame access, so searing steaks means a cast-iron pan or GrillGrates
- ✗Single-wall powder-coated steel means winter cooks lean on pellet consumption just like the old Pros
- ✗The platform launched in 2025, so long-term reliability of the new controller and drivetrain is still unproven
- ✗Traeger's WiFi drop-off gremlins persist on the new lineup per early owner threads
- ✗At 67 inches wide it has a bigger footprint than the Pro 780 it replaces - measure your patio first
- ✗Smoke flavor still trails the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro's real-wood Smoke Box despite Super Smoke
- ✗The $1,000 price puts it against the Recteq lineup with stainless builds and a cult service reputation
- ✗Assembly is a long job with lots of panels, and at 172 lbs you'll want a second set of hands
Traeger Flatrock 3 Zone Griddle
- ✓Physically insulated zone dividers hold a real temperature difference across the plate, not just a gradient
- ✓Five-year warranty against Blackstone's one, on a griddle at a comparable-to-premium price
- ✓FlameLock wind blocking addresses the most common cause of a griddle failing to hold heat
- ✓Published 350–600°F range, where most griddle makers publish nothing at all
- ✓Pop-and-Lock accessory rail shares Traeger's existing accessory ecosystem
- ✗$999 for 594 sq in, against 768 sq in on a $549 Blackstone Iron Forged 36
- ✗189 lbs is the heaviest griddle in this class by a wide margin
- ✗350°F low end is high — it will not hold food at a gentle warm the way a four-zone griddle set to minimum can
- ✗Cold-rolled steel plate, so the rust maintenance is the same as any Blackstone despite the price
- ✗No hood in the base configuration, which limits melting and steaming
