Purchased an Ironwood model and very pleased. Good build quality, easy to assemble and the Traeger web site is excellent for information, support and especially the BBQ step-by-step recipes. The Traeger app and Ironwood operation user interface is very helpful. Only two BBQ meals so far and both were excellent with Traeger’s help.
We've had dinner out of our Ironwood since getting it several months ago. It's that good. Meats come out moist and flavorful. But the most amazing part is the tech integration. Controlling it via an iphone is super convenient. The temperature probe connects to the grill so you can monitor you food's temp from anywhere. We love it.
Well, the grill had no power from the very first time I plugged it in

Hi, and thanks for reviewing the Traeger Ironwood. In situations where a grill has no power the first time using it, the resolution should be very easy. Since you will have likely already checked the outlet, and made sure the grill is directly plugged in without an extension cord, there are a few other quick checks that can be done to determine why it isn’t turning on. If you want to try this on your own, we have a comprehensive help page on Traeger.com that walks through the process, which can be found by searching “Not Getting Power - Timberlines & Ironwoods”, then clicking the SUPPORT link above the results. But an even better option is calling Traeger Customer Service to have someone go through the steps with you. With our lines open until 10:00 PM MT, 365 days a year, you have access to live support whenever you need it. Whether it's for power issues, questions on grill usage, or if you’re just looking for recipe advice, our agents are available and ready to help.
I love my new Ironwood XL. I upgraded from my 780 Pro which was my first ever Traeger. I also bought the Flat Rock at the same time as the new Ironwood. Having cooked on the Ironwood multiple times, I can say its the best decision I've ever made. The only con that I can find with this grill is the lid. On my 780 Pro I was able to keep the grill within 10 inches or less of the brick wall and be able to open the lid all the way. With the new Ironwood XL lid I have to pull the grill out a min of 20 to 24 inches from the wall in order to open the lid all the way. On the bright side you get a lot more room with this lid design. If you are on the fence.....BUY IT!
Does not hold a constant temp. My grill that cost less than half the price as a traeger holds the temperature within 10 deg. Traeger fluctuates 50 degrees or more. I wish I could return the piece of junk

Thank you for your review. You’ll discover next-level consistency in your cooks, amazing wood-fired flavor, easy clean up, and you can customize the P.A.L. rail to create the perfect grill for you. Traeger's like your oven cook on an average. You will see slightly higher variances when cooking on low temps or using super smoke. The fluctuations is a key component in creating the smoke flavor we all love. You can learn more about this in the temperature management section of our support page, or call one of our customer service agents at 1(800)TRAEGER.
I bought this smoker when it came out and love the smoking process. I'm disappointed in Traeger not selling the induction cook top as an accessory so I can add it to the Timberline.
