This is my second Traeger. The first was a 780 Pro. Loved it but the LCD screen failed after 5 years and I used it as an excuse to upgrade. Would have loved to get a Timberline, but $$$$$$$. Looking forward to the same idiot-proof grilling and smoking that I've become accustomed to - without the hassle that the smokestack brought to every cover removal and replacement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Smokey flavor we had on our Boston butt was amazing. It was one of the best ones we’ve had. The super smoke was truly a game changer. That smoke ring throughout the meat was noticeable. The flavor as we use the Pro Blend pellets was sooo flavorful. My husband likes it without the smoke stack. Husband used the app to monitor the meats temp and the amount of pellets left and that was handy too. Have only used once but do know we’ll be using it more here soon. We are impressed with it so far.

Response from traegergrills.comBy Traeger, Traeger grills, November 14, 2025
Hello Debbie, we love hearing that Boston butt turned out so well. Super Smoke really shines on low-and-slow cooks. It’s most effective at lower temps early in the cook to build that deep smoke flavor and ring, then you can bump the heat to finish. Pro Blend is a great all-around pellet; if you ever want to nudge the profile, Cherry or Apple add a sweeter note, while Hickory or Mesquite bring a bolder punch. And yes, the app makes it easy to keep an eye on meat temps and pellet levels without lifting the lid.
Whether your grill vents through a chimney or a low-profile exhaust, the airflow’s tuned for steady results, so keep cooking the way you like. Enjoy the next round, ribs, chicken thighs, and brisket all love Super Smoke.

It's a Traeger! it's a dream come true!

It's a Traeger! You don't get much better than this. This has been on my wish list for many years and it is a dream come true. It did not disappoint.
The first thing you will notice is the quality of the parts. The steel is heavy duty which is noticed even more when this is all put together. It is heavy! The only thing I can say was overlooked is the size of the wheels. They lock, but the wheels are small for this size of grill and design. It is hard to lock and unlock them because of the bottom lip compared to the size of the wheels. Definitely not a deal-breaker. You get used to them.
Assembly was time-consuming, especially since I put in the wrong screws in the wrong places, so I had to backtrack a bit. My ignorance. The instructions are available through the Traeger app, but I found the instruction book to be better for viewing each step. The pictures were bigger and easier to see where each screw belonged. I was able to put this whole grill together by myself, except for one step. Hence the reason it took me so long to assemble.
Now, once this thing is put together it is beautiful and well worth the time, money, and effort. The Woodridge collection is new and appears to be on par with the Timberline with a few less aesthetics, but just as good.
The grates are porcelain coated and provide a good non-stick surface. The lid is heavy duty and extra insulated so that it keeps temps better during cold months. The side burner is a definite plus and looks sharp. I have never had a glass side burner on a grill and this one works amazing with precise temperature control.
I think my favorite feature might be the sensor in the pellet hopper that lets you know the amount of pellets you have left for your cook. I will note that the way the pellets fall into the auger falls from one side, you may have to go in the hopper and level them back out if you notice your pellets getting low. The app will tell you how you are doing on the pellets.
As for the app, it is amazing and works well. You can use the 1 temperature probe that comes with it and watch the meat temperature in the app. The app also tells you the temp and how you can adjust it as well as setting target temps for your meat. I do like that this Woodridge Elite is compatible with the new line of Meater Wireless probes.
Starting the cook is pretty simple. You have a digital control on the pellet hopper side and all you do is turn the knob to desire temp. Push in the knob and hit the fire button. I must say I had to hold down the fire button a couple seconds to get it to start. You can change temps in the middle of the cook which is nice. You can do that from the grill or in the app.
On the controls you will also find a setting for super-smoke which works when you are doing low and slow cooking. I used it on a smoked pork tenderloin and it turned out amazing.
This Woodridge Elite has all the bells and whistles. It even has storage space beneath. 2 side shelfs for extra space, although if you use your side burner that will leave you with one. This Traeger also has the PAL (Pop-And-Lock) System where you can buy accessories to Pop and Lock around the grill on three sides. You can purchase shelves, drink holders, sauce holders, hooks, and much more. Everything about this grill is well-thought out and a dream come true for any serious smoker/griller. The Woodridge Elite is good for grilling, smoking, roasting, cooking pizzas, and more. It is a one-stop shop for any serious backyard master or like me, wannabe master. I would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Traeger Woodridge Elite Pellet Grill - it so EASY TO USE! Simply decide what to grill/smoke/bake, set the desired temperature and close the lid. The Traeger App tells mw when the food is ready - ITS THAT SIMPLE!

Takes your grilling to a whole new level!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been grilling and smoking for a few decades, but I never felt terribly confident and like often I was "winging it". Many times I got lucky, many times I did not. This grill takes the guesswork out of cooking outdoors and gives you so much time back. The smoke boost works fantastically and depending upon the pellets used it can really add so much flavor and smell to the food. The neighbors are often commenting on the smell when I am cooking! We also found that this is our new favorite way to cook frozen pizzas!
