Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Fully double-wall insulated stainless construction holds temperature rock-steady even in freezing weather, making it the most consistent Traeger for winter brisket
- ✓Massive 1320 sq in over three shelves swallows multiple briskets, pork butts, and racks of ribs for catering-level cooks
- ✓The built-in induction cooktop on the side is genuinely useful for searing, finishing sauces, or making sides without a second appliance
- ✓The full-color touchscreen and refreshed app are the most polished controls Traeger has ever shipped, with helpful step-by-step guidance
- ✓Super Smoke mode plus the larger firepot produces strong, clean smoke and excellent bark on low-and-slow cooks
- ✓Pop-and-lock accessory rails and the modular shelf system make it easy to add hooks, shelves, and a roll rack
- ✓A class-leading 10-year warranty backs the big price tag and signals Traeger's confidence in the build
- ✓The downdraft exhaust and sensor suite keep heat even front-to-back and top-to-bottom across that huge cooking area
Cons
- ✗At roughly $3,800 it's brutally expensive, and many reviewers feel you're paying a heavy premium for the Traeger badge and touchscreen
- ✗It still maxes out around 500°F, so despite the price you cannot true-sear on the main grates without the side burner or GrillGrates
- ✗Even on this flagship, owners report the WiFi dropping and the app occasionally losing connection mid-cook
- ✗At 289 lbs it's extremely heavy and awkward to move, and assembly is a long two-person job
- ✗Early units shipped with firmware bugs and touchscreen glitches that required updates, frustrating early adopters
- ✗Pellet consumption is high given the size, and you'll feed it a lot of fuel on long all-day cooks
- ✗The induction burner and electronics add more failure points, and out-of-warranty repairs on a grill this complex are costly
- ✗Its sheer footprint (62 in wide) is too big for many patios and it dominates the space

Traeger Ironwood
The current-generation Ironwood replaced the discontinued Ironwood 885 in Traeger's lineup, trading raw cooking area for a dual-wall insulated barrel, a color touchscreen, and Smart Combustion tech that owners on r/pelletgrills consistently say holds temps within a few degrees even in wind and cold. The EZ-Clean ash keg is the sleeper feature — cleanup drops from a shop-vac session to emptying a bucket. The honest knocks: at $1,800 you're paying a steep premium over a Woodridge Pro that cooks nearly as well with more space, the 500F ceiling still won't sear like a gas grill or a Weber Searwood's 600F, and Traeger's smoke profile stays on the mild side unless you lean on Super Smoke and 225F cooks. Some owners report WiFIRE connectivity drops and occasional startup temp overshoot, and the induction fan is audible. But as a set-and-forget smoker with genuinely modern controls and a 10-year warranty, it's the best-sorted mid-size Traeger yet — just know you're paying for polish, not capacity.

Traeger Ironwood 885
The Traeger Ironwood 885 is a WiFi-connected wood-pellet grill and smoker from Traeger, the company that popularized pellet grills. It uses the D2 direct-drive controller and WiFIRE app for hands-off cooks. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Traeger Ironwood XL. (Still sold at $1,399.99 on traeger.com under 'Legacy Grills'; new Ironwood/Ironwood XL (2023) and Woodridge (2025) are the current lines)
Traeger
Traeger Woodridge Pro
The Traeger Woodridge Pro is the 2025 replacement for the aging Pro series - 970 sq in, a 24 lb hopper with pellet sensor, Super Smoke mode, and a 10-year warranty at $1,000. Reviewers call it the biggest upgrade to Traeger's entry lineup in years.

Traeger Woodridge
The Woodridge is the grill that finally retired Traeger's ancient Pro Series platform — it's the true successor to the Pro 575/780, and at $799 it undercuts them while fixing their two biggest complaints: cleanup and hopper size. You get 860 sq in (more than the old Pro 780), a 24 lb hopper with a clean-out chute, WiFIRE, a wired probe, and the same EZ-Clean ash keg as the $1,800 Ironwood, all under a 10-year warranty. Owners on r/pelletgrills call it the best value Traeger has ever shipped, with steady temps from the new digital controller. The honest trade-offs: no Super Smoke mode (that's the $1,149 Woodridge Pro), no pellet sensor or side shelf, and like every Traeger it tops out at 500F with a mild smoke profile — Camp Chef's Woodwind and the Weber Smoque both produce noticeably more smoke flavor. Early-batch owners reported some app-pairing friction and thin-ish lid steel. If you want the Traeger ecosystem without flagship pricing, this is the one to buy; if you mostly chase heavy smoke, look at the Pro trim or a competitor.

Traeger Pro 575
The Traeger Pro 575 is Traeger's best-selling entry-level WiFi pellet grill, using the D2 controller and WiFIRE app. It's the model most people picture when they think 'Traeger.' Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Traeger Woodridge. (Retailer-only closeout: traeger.com lists $799.99 but no longer sells direct; remaining retail stock clearing at $500-600)
