Wish I could print

Enjoy my Traeger and the app. Recipes are good. Wish I could print the recipes. I find the cooking times in the recipes a bit off.

Great

Very easy to use and convenient. Makes cooking enjoyable sit back and watch TV football baseball the times great food.

Awesome!

I love this app and my Traeger. Thousands of recipes and for someone with a busy lifestyle it’s very easy to use.

Apple Watch app?! What happened to it?

When I initially downloaded this app, the Apple Watch had an app for it and that was amazing. I could simply look on my wrist and control things and get updates. There was an update and now the Apple Watch app is gone. Did somebody just forget about it?

Faithful, loyal and dependable.

Love my smoker.

Amazing

Love the app on connected seamlessly to my woodridge pro couldn’t be happier with it

Best Grill

This is the best grill I have owned. Don’t plan on going back to another brand. I love it. It is always a good cook.

First time with this model ironwood 885

Super easy to use and works as advertised! The app is amazing!

App no longer works

It just sits at the “heating up your account” loading screen forever.

Buggy app since update

Apparently the update to work on the fancy apple foldable phone borks the app for any other phone. My previously working app just stopped working this week and do I went through the hoops of resetting everything including my grill even though it was connected to my network still. Now after multiple attempts of resetting the phone, the app and the grill I can get to the name your grill part and guess what? We can’t name your grill would you like to try again or continue pairing. Try again never works so I think well I’ll just use my nameless grill. It completes and no grill is paired and I have to start over. A key aspect of software development is not breaking existing stuff!

Do NOT buy a Treager!!!!

This started out fantastic around 5 years ago when we bought our grill. Everything worked fantastic and I was quite pleased with my purchase. Since then, it appears that they have hired some software programmer that has no idea how a grill should work. For example, when I turn on my grill it asks me to select a temperature to preheat the grill. If I tell the grill and the app to alert me when the grill reaches 450 degrees, the app will alert me when 10 minutes has elapsed regardless of what the grill temperature has reached. That means that when I am looking for an alert at 450 degrees, it will alert me when the grill has reached 372 degrees which I view as not helpful at all. A few months ago, these same software geniuses decided that the grill will alert you after so many cooks, regardless of how meticulous your grill cleaning activity has been. Instead of making the app more user friendly, they have actually made the app, and therefore the grill, significantly less user friendly. When I call the customer service representative, he says that I should consider all the times the grill has reached temperature in less than ten minutes. Are you kidding me??? In short, the app makes the grill less than desirable and you will be much happier spending your money on almost anything else because it cannot help but be a better use of your money than what these grills have devolved into.

Top of the line

Traeger knows how to make you feel like a smoke master. Keep making it easy for us little guys.

Modern Day Prometheus

I scorned the gods by harnessing fire and it’s kid brother smoke. I fed the masses and claimed the glory.

Ol’ Smokey

Low and slow. There’s something about firing up ol’ Smokey that turns cooking into an event. Brisket gets the long, patient treatment until the bark is dark and the slices bend just right. Chicken takes on that deep wood-fired flavor while the skin crisps and the meat stays juicy. Pork shoulder settles in for hours, slowly becoming tender enough to pull apart with a fork. But ol’ Smokey is not picky. Ribs, sausage, turkey, vegetables, even a pan of mac and cheese all seem better after a little time in the smoke. The real secret is not complicated: good seasoning, steady heat, clean smoke, and patience. You cannot rush great barbecue. Give ol’ Smokey time to work, and almost anything coming off the grate is worth gathering around.

Great way to cook meat

This is a game changer the Traeger

Poor performance

The temperature control will only work with the app. Turning the knob temperature control on the unit does not work. When using the Traeger recipes one can expect to double the cook time.

Smoking tons on the Traeger

Love this beast

The best

Best grill ever!

Great food

This smoker is great, always moist and tasty. Pork, chicken, beef it’s all good!

Dissatisfied

I have been months working on this traeger an no one really knows that is wrong with it still under warranty and I have called the support team and they keep sending me new parts. I bought the most expensive grill they had to offer an I get stuck working on the project on my porch. I am very disappointed in Traeger for not trying to make this right am sending a new grill or someone from there team to work on a 4k dollar grill that doesn’t work.
