Overview
A 970 square inch electric wood pellet grill and smoker, the Traeger Woodridge Elite adds a built-in side sear station and an insulated black body to Traeger's WiFIRE app control, aimed at cooks who want smoking, grilling, and searing in one unit.
- 970 sq. in. total cooking area
- Built-in side sear station burner
- Insulated body for winter grilling
- WiFIRE app plus digital pellet sensor
Who it's for
Best suited to hosts who cook for groups often and want one grill that can smoke low and slow, then sear on the side burner without switching equipment. It is less suited to anyone with a small patio, since the footprint is larger than a standard Traeger.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Every review in the sample is five stars, praising easy assembly, steady temperature control, and how much the app simplifies monitoring. The only friction reviewers raised is practical: the side burner adds bulk so the grill needs real patio space, and getting WiFIRE onto a 2.4GHz network took some owners extra steps.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Assembly reported as straightforward with well-fitted parts
- Accurate temperature control with little deviation
- App simplifies remote monitoring and control
- Large capacity handles cooking for groups
- Side burner adds bulk, measure space first
- WiFIRE setup needs a 2.4GHz network
- P.A.L. and ModiFIRE accessories sold separately
Performance notes
The insulated double wall body paired with the WiFIRE controller is meant to hold steady heat through cold weather and long cooks, while Super Smoke Mode adds extra smoke flavor at the push of a button. The side burner runs independently of the main pellet chamber, so searing or sauce work happens without opening the smoker.
