So after outgrowing my ironwood 650 and timberline 1300,I splurged on the XL and oh my was it the right choice. My ironwood is at a buddies house where the allowed him to put it on a balcony and my timberline 1300 is at my other buddies house, my XL is flanked by my Weber Summit and my Pitboss Ultimate 5 griddle. I have the ultimate patio for cooking
I have had my new Timberline XL since last Saturday. I have cooked wings, drums, tri tip, season chicken thigh meat, sirloin steaks and grilled some garlic green beans. I can tell you hands down this is the BEST grill/smoker I have ever owned!! I got a definitive smoke ring on my tri tip and the flavor profiles have been off the hook. It is BIG and with all that space I find myself not needing shelves or tables to accompany my experience. Its been absolutely phenomenal. I am coming from a Silverton 620 to this so I am in HEAVEN! If you don't have one you need one!!!
This smoker is so large it easily fits anything I want to cook, even when I've had guests over. The induction cooktop is very nice too as I can easily sear meets that I want to, post smoke, or cook up some tasty green beans to complement the main dish. It is the first time I've used an induction cooktop and was amazed at how quickly it heated, and how well it worked. The overall polish on this smoker is spot on too - the bamboo cooking board and shelves added a nice touch (however, if you live in a very humid area be sure to not let them sit in the rain as they'll mold up quickly. Mine did so I needed to give them a sanding and refinish (just cutting board oil).
What a great looking grill! I’m sure with Traeger’s quality this grill will last, as do all of the grills they’ve produced over the years if you take care of it. Can’t wait to cook on it.
