Overview
The Traeger Pro 780 (TFB78GLEC) is a full-size wood pellet smoker grill with 780 square inches of cooking space, WiFi app control, and a built-in meat probe. It is Traeger's Pro-tier model, sized for large cooks rather than a single household meal.
This sits a full step up from Traeger's portable Ranger, aimed at people entertaining or cooking in batches. The D2 drivetrain and TurboTemp recovery are meant to keep temperature steady through repeated lid openings during long cooks. Assembly is straightforward by most accounts but heavy enough that two people make it easier.
- WiFIRE app control from a phone
- 780 square inches of grilling area
- D2 drivetrain with TurboTemp heat recovery
- Powder-coated steel body built for all-season use
Who it's for
Suits households that host regularly or cook large batches of ribs, chicken, or brisket in one sitting. The WiFIRE app appeals to anyone who wants to start a long smoke and check on it from work rather than standing over the grill. Not the right pick for a small patio or a household that only grills the occasional weeknight burger.
Pros and cons
- 780 square inches handles large batches like ribs or whole chickens
- WiFIRE app lets you monitor a smoke remotely
- Consistent results across steaks, brisket, wings, and pulled pork
- Handles six cooking styles on one grill
- Included temperature probe reads inaccurately for some owners even after calibration
- Heavy enough that assembly is easier with two people
Performance notes
The D2 controller and brushless motor drive pellet feed and airflow, and TurboTemp is designed to bring the chamber back up to temperature quickly after the lid is opened to check food. WiFIRE lets the app track and adjust temperature remotely so a long smoke can be started before work and checked from a phone. The 18 lb hopper and convection setup support grilling, smoking, baking, roasting, braising, and barbecuing on one unit.
