This grill exceeded expectations in every category! I was hesitant to buy because I’m used to grilling with a flame. I have a Big Green Egg and replaced my propane grill with the Timberline XL. You certainly get more flavor with pellets than gas and even though the Timberline doesn’t produce a flame for charring, the searing grate accessory allows for excellent searing. The embedded technology and mobile app are an added bonus and provide many convenience factors. Looking forward to the next cook!
Purchased a couple months ago, put it to the test with 3 x 15lb. pork shoulders and an 18lb brisket. Outstanding results. Feed 80 people with ease!!! I love this SMOKER!
Amazing machine. Large capacity with ease of use. The smoke rings it generated were impressive. Set up and assembly instructions were easy to follow. The best feature is the conduction cooktop. To reverse sear with my Timberline 850, I had to put in the in searing plates, crank up the temp to 500 degrees and wait. This added almost an hour to my cooks. Now with my conduction cooktop and a ribbed cast iron skillet, I can sear the steaks as they reach internal temp. Cleaning the XL is still a chore. The disadvantage of such a large cook space. But it is easier overall than my 850. Handling pellets is much easier. Just put the container under the hopper and it empties directly in. My only criticism is the included Meater Wireless Thermometers. I’ve used Meater Thermometers for a long time and using them only to monitor internal temperature sells them short. The app that comes with Meaters is robust and useful and the included thermometers don’t sync with the Meater app. They only monitor internal temp on the XL.
This is the best grill that I’ve ever used. The food that I’ve made on the grill so far is outstanding! It’s the best steaks, chicken and burgers I’ve ever made and I’ve made a lot of them.
This is my 3rd Traeger grill always had to upgrade for more space the timberline xl far exceeded expectation. First grill with brisket and a whole chicken and still plenty of room!
