ViperScore breakdown
Should you buy the Traeger Woodridge Pro?
The Woodridge Pro is for the cook who wants smoke without babysitting a fire. It's a wood-pellet grill with app control, so you set a temperature on your phone, the auger feeds pellets, and a brisket runs overnight while you sleep. It's our highest-scoring grill and the one to buy if low-and-slow is the point.
Where it earns its score
- 970 square inches. Enough for two briskets or a full rack of ribs across the main and upper grates.
- WiFIRE app control. Set, monitor and adjust temperature remotely; a pellet-level sensor warns before the hopper runs dry.
- Super Smoke mode. Boosts smoke output at lower temperatures for more flavor on long cooks.
- EZ-Clean grease and ash keg. Grease and ash drop into one removable bucket, which makes cleanup a two-minute job.
- Up to 500°F. Hot enough to sear, unlike older pellet grills that topped out at 450°F.
What to know first
- It needs power. Pellet grills run on electricity for the auger and fan; plan an outlet.
- Not a charcoal sear. 500°F is good for a pellet grill but a kamado or gas grill with a sear zone will crust a steak harder.
- $1,149.99. Amazon pricing moves around on Traeger; check the current price.
Our verdict
The Woodridge Pro scores 88, a Strong Buy, because it does the hardest thing in outdoor cooking, consistent low-and-slow smoke, with almost no effort. If you mostly grill burgers fast, a Weber gas grill is cheaper and better at that. If you want to smoke, this is the pick.
Big Green Egg
Questions buyers ask

It reaches 500°F, which is enough for a decent sear on steaks and burgers, but a gas grill with a dedicated sear zone or a charcoal kamado gets hotter.
Does the Traeger Woodridge Pro need electricity?
Yes. Like all pellet grills it uses power for the auger, igniter and fan, plus Wi-Fi for the app.
How much can you cook on the Woodridge Pro?
970 square inches across the main and upper grates, roughly two full briskets or several racks of ribs.
