[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill has all the space you will ever need. With the digital system you have many options for preloaded cooking settings. The wifire makes it great to monitor your temperature or change it while keeping track of the probe temperature from your smartphone.

This grill has a major design flaw in which 2 separate 1300's the grease trough overheated paint started peeling/bubbling and the actual metal warped very badly. unfortunately i cant recommend buying a timberline 1300 the grease collection system is totally flawed and honestly could be a major fire concern down the road.

Not Worth the Money

I have had the Timberline 1300 for about a month now and I couldn’t be more disappointed. You will never get the smoke flavor that you expect out of this grill. After an unsuccessful pork but with no smoke flavor I bought a brisket and cut it into thirds just to try different things to get the flavor I am looking for. I tried pellets from different manufacturers. I did a brisket at 180 on super smoke until it hit 165 then took it up to 225. Put the meat on the tops shelf. I really wanted it to deliver the taste I am looking for because the grill really is easy to operate and maintain temp. However, there isn’t much I can do on this grill that I can’t do in my convention over because it doesn’t influence the flavor. I should of looked at the most recent reviews before purchasing. They are all one or two stars. It is also is strange that I reputable company wouldn’t have a satisfaction guarantee. Since I purchased this through a local dealer they are allowing me to return it and I am returning it for a Big Green Egg.

Hey Ashley thanks for taking the time to leave us a review on your Timberline 1300 we do sincerely appreciate your feedback. Smoking on the Traeger is different from your normal smoker but it still delivers the same smokey flavor.
One thing to check would be to make sure nothing is overhanging the drip tray blocking the airflow. We recommend using our drip tray liners for this reason as the air circulates from the bottom of the grill and rises. This allows the grill to efficiently get rid of the old smoke and bring new air to produce smoke in. We also recommend cleaning the grill every 2-3 cooks to ensure that the ash doesnt build up blocking the airflow from the induction fan this can cause issues with the heat as well as smoke production.
If you're still experiencing issues with your smoke production on the grill we recommend reaching out to us at 1-800-TRAEGER and we'll get you taken care of

I went from a Texas Elite to a Timberline 1300 and really like most of the features. I would like to have a bigger front shelf. I got used to that on my Texas. Also I would like to be able to have a cold smoker on it. I had a smoke daddy on my Texas with a cold smoker also. I do miss those
