Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker with WIFI Smart Home Technology, Black

This is my first pellet smoker. I’m very happy my traeger ironwood 885. For many years, I was charcoal and wood. Trying to maintain temperature opening and shutting vents. The fact that I can control it from my phone and don’t have to be at home run errands is amazing to me. I was very thankful when it came upon arrival. Customer service assembled it for me. It was way bigger than I thought which I’m very happy with. I love that when I set the temperature. It maintains the temperature it might fluctuate 2 to 3°. If you open a lid, it takes about one minute to get back to temperature which is amazing to me. I will I will recommend this smoker to 81 and I will continue using very happy customer.

Love this smoker.

This Traeger is the Leonardo Da DaVinci and the “Ironwood 885” is the Mona Lisa of Grills/SMOKER! This is a machine that God himself is in complete Awe! This jaw dropping Product is so good!!! It’s got the ease of Propane with the flavor of Wood/Charcoal! It is absolutely SIMPLE to use! A friend brought a Tri Tip to thanksgiving and promised I would like the product. I tried an end Piece (my favorite) and Time Froze! Floating on cloud 9! I could feel the warmth and happiness in my empty stomach. I PURCHASED ONE THE NEXT DAY! Ironwood 885. Noted Observations, 1. The product is HIGH Quality metal. 2. Assembly was simple. 3. They give you a cool Screwdriver and not that useless Garbage bits other Self assembly product give you. 4. Very large grates and cooking space 5. It’s operation is straight forward 6. It’s operation is , Set Temp, warm up, add meat (or your Tofurkey), push the super Smoke button, set timer and come back when done! The assembly was Simple. I’ve used it every day since I got it. Day 1, Burgers and Tri Tip Day 2, Tri Tip again Day 3, Home made sausage (*Drool*) Day 4, Roast Beef Day 5, Pork Spare Ribs (A must) Day 6, tonight, BEEF BACK RIBS! This one I put in the smoker around 12 noon and we sat down and ate at 6:45pm. A LOOOONG Low & Slow Heat & Smoke cook. The final Product was so SO GOOD! I could not imagine food the same way again. This is my first smoker but been with friend who use a different smoker. Nothing got me excited like this one! In fact, out of the thousands of Products I’ve purchased, this is one of a few I actually took the time to add a review. It’s that good! Ya, it’s 1500, but dollar for dollar, a stove is a 1500 dollar heat source. Traeger is a Machine of the Gods! Just look at those Ribs in the photo I added! I am new to the smoker world and this is what this machine has done for me, as a beginner! I cant wait until I fully understand the Art of Smoking! Brisket is next on the list for tomorrow, saved the best for last! Don’t be that person all sad in front of your stove dreaming of the Traeger Lisa machine! Just GET IT!!! Best purchase I ever made! God bless Traeger and be part of the Traegerhood! Get yours now!

Easy to assemble and great to use with the app. Holds heat well so pellet usage is better than older units The super smoke feature on low heat temperatures adds a lot for food flavour!

Amazon front door delivery! Big Amazon box truck arrived, two very friendly workers removed from truck and placed in our garage. I Assembled a week later. Grill was in perfect shape, super easy to Put together. Grill is a lot more sturdy than our Pro 575, and the Ironwood was a bigger cooking space. Pros: nice square, textured grip for opening main door. Fireproof rope on door where it closes (to keep heat and smoke in). Hopper is large enough to hold an entire bag of pellets, light inside of hopper where there is now a pellet sensor. No smoke stack! We got the bundle that came with the folding front shelf and cover. The “Traeger” brand cover for the Pro 575 was junk, we ended up getting an aftermarket that was a lot better. However the new “Traeger” cover that came in the bundle is an upgrade! First cook, was beer can chicken! Perfect. Ohh, the super smoke option!!!! This is game changing. )Only works between 165 and 225) Cons. I wish Traeger would make a handle light for cooking at night, we bought an aftermarket magnet one. The probe that came with the grill is ok, but I never cook one thing, so we have a 4 probe, probe! Wish there was a better option for the grease catch, we use a mason jar in the tin can, as the foil liners always leaked. And we always use tin foil to cover the drip pan, as the Traeger liners are over priced. Overall it is sleek and sexy compared to the Pro with the smokestack. Totally recommend if you want to upgrade, kinda pricy for your first Traeger, but you won’t regret the cost of this if it’s your first pellet smoker.
