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.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓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 r/pelletgrills owner reports and Engadget's review agree it fixes most of what made the Pro series feel dated
Cons
- ✗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
