Cooking space, per the listing

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

Why it made our list

860 sq in

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

180–500°F

Low and slow at 180°F for brisket, and up to 500°F when you want to grill hot and fast.

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.

What changes on cook day

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.

Weeknights or the whole crew?

Weekends with friends, eight people without stress. 860 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 want one grill for low-and-slow and hot grilling: 500°F is the stated top end
  • You start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed

Skip it if

  • Your patio is tight: 860 sq in of grate makes for a big grill
  • You simply want our top pick: that's the Traeger Pro 780 (9.3/10)

What Traeger promises

These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.

  • 860 sq in cooking area
  • 180-500°F app-controlled heat
  • EZ-Clean grease and ash keg
  • Cooking modes: 6-in-1

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.

Better fit elsewhere?

The verdict

What we'd buy the Traeger Woodridge for is 860 sq in of cooking space, with a stated 180–500°F range as a bonus. 168 buyers give it 4.6/5, which is a solid sign. Our main reservation: no word on the warranty. We'd pick it if you cook for a crowd, or for the whole street; otherwise, put it next to the Traeger Ironwood 885 first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the Traeger Woodridge lands on your porch, check the outlet near the spot: it needs a grounded outdoor outlet within cord reach, and a long extension cord is a poor substitute.

Before you buy

How much you really cook

860 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

Look for a grounded, outdoor-rated outlet; if you need an extension, use a short heavy-gauge outdoor one.

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.

How we rated it

Our rating: 8.0/10

Our rating is a score out of 10. It weighs what buyers say, the specs the listing states and our editors' read of how it compares with its rivals. It is separate from the buyer star rating.

  • Buyer rating (45%): the average buyer rating on the listing, damped when there are fewer than 50 reviews.
  • Review volume (35%): more reviews mean more reliable evidence, on a logarithmic scale up to 5,000 reviews.
  • Documented specifications (20%): how completely the exact listing documents the attributes that matter.
