Take everything he says with a grain of salt. I just ate a ribeye that I grilled on my Pro 575 and it was probably the best steak I have ever eaten. You don’t need to pay extra for “premium” taste. Just get what you can afford and I guarantee you’ll be happy with it.

As far as the video, it's tough to cut through the sales hype, so based upon my budget I just tried to get an understanding of the features i had to have versus nice to have. i think they accomplished that. Can't speak to the Pro first hand, but I can't say enough good things about the Ironwood 885. I had lots of experience grilling, but totally new to using a Smoker. Friends were telling me that i needed to invest in a good Offset to get deep penetrating smoke rings and great smoke flavor. I can tell you first hand using the Super Smoke mode in my cooks far exceeded my expectations and also made my friends eat their words. I also tried a lot of different pellet brands and hardwood types, and in the end, even though they are really good, I did not settle on Traeger pellets as my favorite. It was simple to setup and even simpler to turn out amazing barbeque. Especially, when you follow the expert advice from the pit masters associated with Traeger that loaded their recipes for you to download and control the cook using WiFire. On that note, IMHO Matt Pittman is so easy to follow along with and I'm turning out great barbeque using his techniques and recipes. I love the WiFire App's control from my phone and it is really simple and intuitive. It also untied me from having to closely monitor the cook and the remaining pellets. If you hate using an App, the manual controls work great and are simple to use. Only one serious issue I experienced that hopefully Traeger can address in the future. It was due to a slight power interruption during a cook. I was told the the power went out for only a couple of seconds, but the smoker shut down instead of going back to where it left off. I was away and only realized it because i was not able to reconnect to the Smoker via my app. I returned home and I manually had to restart the cook. Other than that, I absolutely love it!

This should have been titled "Let me up sell you to the ironwood"

[cheechdac]

I am convinced just by looking at his beard...whatever he recommends...I'm buying...

[markl]

Rock on Uncle Scotty! Love my Pro 575. Traeger for life!

[carsonkouts]

just got my ironwood 885 and worth every penny. Made smoked salmon yesterday and the wife now approves of this investment

[AlergicToSnow]

I ‘entered’ with the ironwood 650 so I have no way to compare but I can honestly say I’m really happy with my Traeger. I moved up from a Weber Smokey Mountain, which was good, but no comparison in ease of use and consistency.

[DSpaceNine]

Very informative - convinced me to go with the ironwood from the get-go.

I'm brand new to smoking, I purchase a Walmart one first to see if I'd like it and I did so I upgraded to the 780. I'm smoking on it for the first time today. I like the ignite system way better than my other one. I'll have to wait and see how it goes from here.

I would like to see a Stainless Steel cooking grate option for the Ironwood 885. I purchased my Ironwood two weeks ago and love the performance and convenience of use. Thanks!!

Traeger Grills
Why only put in 1 plug in for thermometer ? Especially for a $1500 unit.

I'd buy limited edition snake oil from this guy, cash down. 🤤

[johnppg]

I’m getting the pro 575.. When you know how to use it.. they are all the same..
My buddy has the 575.. Super nice..
You have to keep it clean..If not ..it’s a fire..

[bobmcgrath]

Is there a rotisserie option for any of your grills?
And what electrical supply do the grills require?
Thanks

[CodyLeon]

You'd think the pro model would have all the you know pro features

I bought my traeger ironwood 885, 2 months ago and I used 5 times and the 5th time I cook a brisket for 12 hour and the washers that holds the handle fall apart .. very disappointed because this things aren't cheap.

Could of been a much better video if the background electric guitar was not at almost the same volume as his voice. This seems to be a growing trend in so many videos on YouTube. Don’t take this the wrong way, I love music but it’s just to much when you have lower the volume because of the screaming guitars at the beginning of so many video intros and it’s just as bad when it continues into the informational video and it drowns out some of the voice content. JMHO.

Does the ironwood catch fire like some other old versions of the traeger? We had to throw one away as it would keep catching the fire. I would happily forget about traeger and move to the next grilling machine but there is no match to traeger
