Cooking space, per the listing

Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.

What it has going for it

850 sq in

Room for a proper cookout: two briskets, or a few racks of ribs and the sides, on one load of pellets.

WiFi app

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.

Stainless steel

Stainless resists rust and wipes clean, worth having on a grill that lives outside all year.

What changes on cook day

WiFi changes the rhythm of a long cook. You watch the pit temperature from the couch instead of walking out every half hour.

Weeknights or the whole crew?

Weekends with friends, eight people without stress. 850 sq in gives you room for two pork butts or several racks of ribs at once, enough for a backyard full of friends.

The listing gives no hopper size, so keep a bag of pellets next to it for long cooks.

Best for you if

  • You cook for a crowd, or for the whole street
  • You start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed

Skip it if

  • You want a stated temperature range: this listing gives none
  • Your patio is tight: 850 sq in of grate makes for a big grill
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Setup and what you get

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.

The verdict

The Traeger Timberline 850 earns its place with a big 850 sq in cooking area and app control over WiFi. No buyer reviews yet, so the Traeger Timberline 850 has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Traeger Timberline 850: no stated temperature range, while most models here give one. We'd pick it if you cook for a crowd, or for the whole street; otherwise, put it next to the Traeger Woodridge Pro Plus first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Traeger Timberline 850 and wait for the delivery truck, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.

Before you buy

How much you really cook

850 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

No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.

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.
