Traeger Ironwood 885 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, WiFi Pellet Smoker Grill with Super Smoke Mode, D2 Controller, Large 885 sq. in. Cooking Area, Outdoor BBQ Electric Pellet Smoker, TFB89BLFC

I put off purchasing a Traeger for years. This past summer I went to the county fair where they had a Traeger booth and I spent some time. They were pushing hard the newer Timberline and Ironwood XL. I wasn't ready to spend over $3,000 for one though. They did have the Ironwood 885 there also but because they wanted to sell the newer more expensive models, they acted like it was an unwanted step child and made you feel like a fool if you were to buy it. They did demonstrate all the grills well and did finally sell me on the idea of a pellet smoker though - so I came home and bought the Ironwood 885 on Amazon for $300 less than their "Best Price" at the fair! I have no regrets. Its been 6 months and I use it regularly. My favorite part is turning that bad boy on and the smell of smoke in the air. It is not real smokey - but it is like a campfire, it smokes the most when you first fire it up. It is like a convection oven and being able to set the temperature and let it maintain the temperature control and just sit back outside and drink a beer and smell the smoke in the air is GREAT!Anything you can cook in the oven you can cook on the Traeger and get a great smoke flavor in it. I cooked my first brisket over Labor Day weekend and all my guests loved it. Ran it almost 20 hours straight and refilled the hopper only twice. I am looking forward to doing a Turkey on it in a few weeks for Thanksgiving. I normally air fry my turkey, but going for a spatchcock turkey on the Traeger this year.If you're like me and been putting it off - just do it. I have a hard time making large $ purchases because I am a cheap butt! But Amazon made the impact easier with their 4 month no interest payment option which helped me get over my cheap attitude! :-)

Amazon front door delivery! Big Amazon box truck arrived, two very friendly workers removed from truck and placed in our garage. I Assembled a week later. Grill was in perfect shape, super easy to Put together.Grill is a lot more sturdy than our Pro 575, and the Ironwood was a bigger cooking space.Pros: nice square, textured grip for opening main door. Fireproof rope on door where it closes (to keep heat and smoke in). Hopper is large enough to hold an entire bag of pellets, light inside of hopper where there is now a pellet sensor. No smoke stack! We got the bundle that came with the folding front shelf and cover. The “Traeger” brand cover for the Pro 575 was junk, we ended up getting an aftermarket that was a lot better. However the new “Traeger” cover that came in the bundle is an upgrade! First cook, was beer can chicken! Perfect. Ohh, the super smoke option!!!! This is game changing. )Only works between 165 and 225)Cons.I wish Traeger would make a handle light for cooking at night, we bought an aftermarket magnet one. The probe that came with the grill is ok, but I never cook one thing, so we have a 4 probe, probe! Wish there was a better option for the grease catch, we use a mason jar in the tin can, as the foil liners always leaked. And we always use tin foil to cover the drip pan, as the Traeger liners are over priced.Overall it is sleek and sexy compared to the Pro with the smokestack. Totally recommend if you want to upgrade, kinda pricy for your first Traeger, but you won’t regret the cost of this if it’s your first pellet smoker.

Best Traeger I have owned yet. Plenty big, love the clip-on accessories, I added the front folding shelve, cup hold and spice holder.. Supersmoke works great plus the 2 probes.. Best part is adding/removing pellets. Get the Traeger plastic bin that fits right under your holder, and you can empty your hopper in seconds. Love it!

OK, I received this on a Friday, the boxes were in good shape and it seems really well packaged, it was a very heavy box. Then on Saturday I was able to put it together following the assembly guide, probably it took me an hour or less. Assembly guide is really well documented and easy to follow.Following the user manual, I started with the steps for seasoning the grill, followed all the steps in the guide and I even used their brand pellets. After few mins of the "igniting" process the WiFIre system sent me a notification through the app that it could not complete the ignitions so to check the pellets. Long story short... after long conversation on chat with agent and two phone calls and video calls. I had to disassembly the auger motor under the hoper to take the auger out because it broke at the welding points. Agent said it was the first time she sees something like this and it will take few days (+10) to get the part. I ask her on the phone if at least they will send me a gift card or something for all the troubles. She responded that she asked internally but wasn't approved but that she could sent me a sticker :) (true story)... for $1400 smoker/grill not a good experience so far.Once I receive the part, I may be able to update about the cooking experience.Hope this helps and good luck.

Absolutely amazing!! Easy to use, great interface, great support… everything is perfect. The install team was questionable and didn’t do the best job, but that doesn’t take away from Traegar. I HIGHLY recommend.
