Thank you for your review. Our Woodridge series typically take around 30 minutes to reach the desired temperature. However, it’s important to remember that the performance of your grill can be affected by various factors, including the weather, maintenance, and the steps taken before starting the grill. Before you start grilling, please ensure that your grill is clean, all components are properly in place, and that you ignite your Woodridge with the lid closed and without any food on the grates (keep in mind that the ignition process may vary by model). Additionally, we advise using high-quality pellets. Good pellets should have a nice sheen, and you should hear a "snap" when breaking them. They should not be dull or crumbling. If you continue to experience temperature issues after following these suggestions, feel free to reach out to us through our Support site or by calling 1-800-TRAEGER (1-800-872-3437). We hope you find this information helpful.
