Rated 7.3/10 on its documented specs. Made for cooks who want real wood smoke on the road.
The Traeger Westwood XL 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.
Room for a proper cookout: two briskets, or a few racks of ribs and the sides, on one load of pellets.
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.
The big change is the leash: with the WiFi app you start the brisket at dawn, go back to bed and check the pit from your phone.
It comes along: it is sold as a portable grill. It still needs power for the fan and the auger.
Road trip, mostly. 823 sq in is more than most portables give you.
Plan for power: an outlet at the campsite or a power station that can run the fan and the auger all afternoon. At home it doubles as the balcony grill for small households.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
Assembly day. Light assembly at most: unfold, plug in, fill the hopper. Do the first burn-in at home before the trip.
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.

What we'd buy the Traeger Westwood XL for is 823 sq in of cooking space, with WiFi control from your phone as a bonus. Nobody has posted a buyer review we could count yet, so the listing is all we have to go on. The one thing that bugs us: 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 Pit Boss 150 first.
Before you order the Traeger Westwood XL and wait for the delivery truck, check the power you will have: it needs an outlet or a power station for the fan and the auger, so check what the campsite offers.
823 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.
Ask the campsite about hook-ups, or check the watt-hours of your power station against a full cook.
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.
How the Traeger Westwood XL stacks up against the closest alternative, the Pit Boss 150.
| Criterion | Traeger Westwood XL | Pit Boss 150 |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 7.3/10 | 7.5/10 |
| Cooking area | 823 sq in | 256 sq in |

Pick the Pit Boss 150 if you want our higher-rated option (7.5/10), with a wider stated range (180–500°F) and a direct-flame sear option; stay with the Traeger Westwood XL for more cooking space (823 sq in) and a bigger hopper (18 lb).
We rate it 7.3/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states 823 sq in of cooking space, WiFi control from your phone, a meat probe in the box, an 18 lb hopper, 6-in-1 cooking and a grill that travels. 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: 823 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: ask the campsite about hook-ups, or check the watt-hours of your power station against a full cook. 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.
