Whelp after 7months of use, I’m updating my review from 5 stars to 1. Just spent 2 hours in 5 degree weather at 11 at night trying to fix this expensive hunk of junk in hopes of saving my inflation adjusted prime brisket. Nope not this time, the igniter won’t work and sounds like the motherboard needs to be replaced. Now I have to do this in the oven…l don’t even own liquid smoke. Not sure the part will get here before Thanksgiving or if it will even fix the issue, so there goes thanksgiving bplans as well. This isn’t the first time my cook has been delayed because of software issues, updates or malfunctions. I was a Traeger guy for 14years, but they got this one wrong. Don’t waist your money.

Very thing works great as far as cooking and smoking . Drops WiFi to often for a grill of this caliber.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to review our Timberline XL. We are stoked the grill is functioning properly during the cooks. We regret to hear the WiFi keeps dropping. We understand the WiFi feature of our grills, is important. We want to make sure the grill is within 20ft of the router, making sure there are not a lot of devices connected that can be pushing the grill off the network. We also want to ensure there is no advanced security on your network that can prevent the grill from staying on the network. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us from 6 AM - 10 PM MT, 7 days a week, and one of our team members will get you squared away.
It’s awesome and super easy to use! While my husband was away I put his new toy to work. I have never been comfortable use a grill but this one changed that!
