Rated 9.3/10, #1 of 5 in our WiFi Pellet Grills ranking. Made for overnight brisket cooks who check from bed.
The Traeger Pro 780 next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Fed by an 18 lb hopper. Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.
The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.
Check the pit and the meat from the couch, and on most apps nudge the temperature too. Gold on a 12-hour brisket that starts at 5 a.m.
Read the inside of the meat without opening the lid, so the heat and the smoke stay where they belong.
WiFi changes the rhythm of a long cook. You watch the pit temperature from the couch instead of walking out every half hour.
A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 780 sq in fits ribs and a tray of wings at the same time, without being so big that a Tuesday dinner looks lost on it.
The 18 lb hopper is fine for an afternoon cook; keep a bag close for all-nighters.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.
Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.
Cook day. Per the listing, you can set the temperature and watch it from your phone and track the meat with the probe in the box.
Buyers give it 4.6/5, an excellent record, above this ranking's 4.5 average. And with 389 reviews behind it, that number is hard to argue with.
Listed at $599.99 on Sep 30, 2026. Grill prices move, sometimes within a week, so treat it as a guide: the button always shows today's price and stock.
Feeding more people? The Pit Boss Navigator 6-Series Vertical lists 2,224 sq in of cooking space (9.2/10).
Steak night matters more than brisket? The Pit Boss 500 FB2 adds a direct-flame sear (7.9/10).
Need one for the campsite? The Traeger Ranger is built to travel (9.3/10).
Of everything in our WiFi pellet grill ranking, the Traeger Pro 780 is the one we'd order first. 389 buyers back that up with 4.6/5, about as reassuring as a review record gets. Where it falls short: no stated temperature range, while most models here give one. If it fits your patio, it's the one we'd order. If it doesn't, the Traeger Ironwood 885 is the plan B.
Before the Traeger Pro 780 goes in your basket, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.
780 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner.
It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.
The hopper holds 18 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks.
Plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.

Pick the Traeger Ironwood 885 if more cooking space (885 sq in) and a wider stated range (165–500°F) matter more to you; on our rating, the Traeger Pro 780 comes out ahead.
We rate it 9.3/10 (excellent), #1 of 5 in our WiFi pellet grill ranking. It is based on 389 buyer reviews averaging 4.6/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.
Its listing states 780 sq in of cooking space, WiFi control from your phone, a meat probe in the box, an 18 lb hopper and 6-in-1 cooking. Those are the seller's figures; how it holds temperature in your own wind and weather can't be read from a listing.
How much you really cook: 780 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner. Power at the spot: it plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord. Pellets and long cooks: the hopper holds 18 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks. Cleaning: plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.
