I have the original Timberline XL and love it, it's massive and works great. My one complaint is that it only has one probe. This new one looks amazing and I am enjoying reading all the reviews. I will likely upgrade and give my current one to my brother. I was wondering though, it seems like a current trend with some other pellet grill manufacturers is to add a built in wood chips burner box to add additional smoke flavor. Does Traeger have any roadmap plans to offer a similar feature in future iterations of Timberline?

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to review the Timberline XL. We are super stoked you are loving the Timberline XL so much. The Timberline XL is compatible with the Meater Plus Bluetooth probes and you can have more access to more than just one probe when cooking. You can monitor this straight from an app on your phone, just like the grill’s WiFire. You can achieve the extra smokey flavor by using the low and slow method, meaning lowering the temperature for a longer period of time or placing your food on the upper rack instead of the lower rack. As long as you are not attaching anything to the grill, as modifying it in any way will void your 10-year warranty, using a smoke tube is based on personal opinion and tastes desired. At this time, we do not have any details on additional smoke tubes in manufacturing but watch our website and social media for updates when new products are released. 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 be happy to answer any concerns or questions you may have.

I had a Timberline 850 for 6 months and loved that grill to death. I have only done 5 cooks on this new grill, but while getting to know this grill, i am loving it, especially the new features with this giant grill. It is really way to big for just my wife and me, but i am looking forward to the first big party where i am sure its huge capacity will shine.

I've been an avid Traeger Grills fan since they started popping on the market. I have several Traegers, and decided to move from the Timberline 1300 to the Timberline XL. This thing is not ready for the market. First, when I got the grill - it came damaged with a cover. Apparently this was a common thing and they shut down replacing lids until they corrected multiple damaged covers. It took 4 months to receive a new grill cover.
Second, I am now stuck in a "Downloading Updates" loop to where I can't even use the grill. I let it run for 2 1/2 hours. Called support, they told me to let it run overnight. I called support again today, they told me to let it run for the rest of the day. Something's broke here. It's not a signal strength issue - my access point is literally right next to it. Support has been extremely rough, not knowing the product or even how to escalate when I can't even use the grill now for several days. One person said it will attempt to download 5 times, then not again, another person said 4 times - then they said it could take up to several weeks to update? What? I can't use my smoker for several weeks? Are you kidding me? This is a complete failure here.
The vacuum system is no better than the 1300. They claim it goes into the bucket, but most of the ash is still in the main floor of the smoker where you have to suck it out anyways just like you did on the 1300. Cleaning is the same, features just the same, and I would say my 1300 maintained more consistent temperatures and less fluctuating temperatures. The XL does heat up much faster which is a plus.
I'm really disappointed in this grill. Once I get this downloading updates issue fixed, I plan on putting it up on the market to sell so that I can go to a different smoker. I have been a Traeger fan for years and always viewed them as the gold standard for pellet smokers, this has really soured my opinion on the grills and their build quality and for my move off of them completely.

Thank you for your response of our new Timberline XL Pellet Grill. The grill is new to all of us and there will be issues that arise, as with any other product that is new to the market. We are continually working on making improvements to the grill, the software configuration version and the overall function of the grill. Customer Support is trained and being trained more every day on the grill to provide excellent support for our customers.

I have not been disappointed with this grill. It was an upgrade from a Traeger “Fremont”. This is all I use for cooking now. Easy to set up and use with all the Wi-Fi features
