Traeger Westwood Wood Pellet Grill &

Best for: First-time smokers wanting WiFi on a family grill

Pros

• WiFIRE app control
• 653 sq in dual-tier space
• 18 lb hopper
• Side shelf and storage

Cons

• 450°F max, lower than Woodridge
• No pellet sensor listed

The Traeger Westwood Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker is pitched squarely at beginners: set a temperature, load the food and let the grill do the work, with no gas or charcoal. It has 653 square inches of cooking space on a dual-tier design, meaning two levels of grates, and runs from 180°F for low-and-slow brisket up to 450°F for burgers and pizza.

WiFIRE connects it to the Traeger app so you can adjust the temperature, track the cook and get alerts when food is ready. It has an 18 lb pellet hopper, premium steel construction, an integrated side shelf with storage and P.A.L. Rail support, which is Traeger’s system for clipping on accessories such as hooks and bins. It measures about 26.4 x 47 x 45.6 inches.

This suits a first-time pellet grill owner cooking for a family. If you want more room or higher heat for searing, the Woodridge models go to 500°F and offer more space.

Traeger Woodridge Pro Wood Pellet Grill

Best for: Big-batch cooks wanting smart extras

Pros

• 970 sq in cooking area
• Super Smoke Mode
• Pellet sensor and Keep Warm
• Meat probe included

Cons

• Large footprint for small patios

The Traeger Woodridge Pro Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker offers 970 square inches of cooking area, enough for up to 7 chickens, 9 rib racks or 7 pork butts according to the listing. It reaches up to 500°F and adds Super Smoke Mode, a button that boosts smoke output for extra flavor during low-and-slow cooks.

Its smart features go beyond basic WiFi. A digital pellet sensor tells you in the app when pellets are running low, and Keep Warm Mode holds food at serving temperature. It includes a meat probe, a folding side shelf and the EZ-Clean Grease & Ash Keg, which collects grease and ash in one container for easier cleanup. It is compatible with P.A.L. and ModiFIRE accessories, the latter being swap-in cooking surfaces like griddles, sold separately.

This suits people who host game days or holidays and want the app to warn them before pellets run out. If you do not need the pellet sensor or Super Smoke, the standard Woodridge is a step smaller.

Traeger Woodridge Wood Pellet Grill &

Best for: Families wanting 500°F and room to spare

Pros

• 180-500°F range
• 860 sq in space
• EZ-Clean Grease and Ash Keg
• Meat probe included

Cons

• No Super Smoke Mode listed
• No pellet sensor listed

The Traeger Woodridge Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker has 860 square inches of cooking area, which the listing says fits up to 6 chickens, 8 rib racks or 6 pork butts. It holds temperatures from 180°F to 500°F, controlled and monitored from anywhere through the Traeger app.

It covers six cooking styles (grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and BBQ), includes a meat probe, and uses the EZ-Clean Grease & Ash Keg. It supports P.A.L. Pop-And-Lock accessories and ModiFIRE surfaces. The listing does not name Super Smoke Mode, a pellet sensor or Keep Warm Mode for this model, which are the main things the Pro version adds.

This is a strong middle choice for families who want higher heat than the Westwood and plenty of space, without paying attention to extra features they may never use.

Traeger Woodridge Elite Wood Pellet Grill

Best for: Year-round grillers who want to sear

Pros

• Insulated grill body
• Side sear station
• Storage cabinet
• Bluetooth thermometer compatible

Cons

• Meat probe not listed in box
• Most features to learn

The Traeger Woodridge Elite Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker is described as the most feature-rich grill in the Woodridge lineup. It shares the 970 square inch capacity of the Woodridge Pro and adds grill body insulation, which helps hold steady heat in cold weather, and a side sear station, a built-in side burner for searing steaks, sautéing vegetables or simmering sauces.

Smart features include WiFIRE, a digital pellet sensor, Keep Warm Mode, Super Smoke Mode and compatibility with a Bluetooth meat thermometer. It has a built-in storage cabinet, a side shelf and the EZ-Clean Grease & Ash Keg. The listing’s included components mention only the grill, and it does not state the maximum temperature.

This suits serious home cooks who grill through winter and want a hot side burner for crusty steaks. Beginners may find the Westwood or Woodridge easier to start with.

Best for: Gift buyers wanting a cover included

Pros

• Full-length cover included
• Double-sidewall insulation
• Pellet sensor and Super Smoke
• 854 sq in

Cons

• Probe missing from components list

The Traeger Silverton XL Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker comes with a full-length cover, which makes it a tidy gift since the recipient will not need to buy one separately. It offers 854 square inches of cooking space and runs up to 500°F.

It uses Traeger’s D2 Controller with WiFIRE connectivity, Super Smoke Mode, a pellet sensor and double-sidewall insulation for cooking in every season. The feature list mentions an included meat probe, though the components list names only the grill, cover and assembly tools, so confirm the probe on delivery. It also has an accessory rail and side shelf.

This suits gift-givers and anyone who wants insulation and a pellet sensor in one package. For searing, the Woodridge Elite adds a side sear station.

Best for: Beginners happy without app control

Pros

• Two wired meat probes
• 572 sq in, 18 lb hopper
• Sawhorse chassis, big wheels

Cons

• No WiFi listed
• 450°F max temperature

The Traeger Pro 22 Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker is the classic in this group, and the listing does not mention WiFi or WiFIRE. It uses a Digital Pro Controller that holds temperatures from 180°F to 450°F within plus or minus 15 degrees, which you set at the grill rather than from your phone.

It offers 572 square inches across two porcelain-coated grates, enough for up to 24 burgers, 5 racks of ribs or 4 whole chickens. It comes with two wired meat probes, an 18 lb hopper with a clean-out door for switching pellet flavors, powder-coated steel, a sawhorse chassis, a side lift bar and large wheels.

Choose this if you are happy to stay near the grill and want a straightforward, proven design. If checking your cook from the couch matters to you, pick any of the other five.
