Customer Reviews for Traeger Ironwood 885 Wifi Pellet Grill and Smoker in Black

First off it is rusty secondly, the thing started on fire when I was trying to cook on the second day I had it.

After 4 years, my MB 560 Gravity smoker finally bit the dust, so i decided to upgrade. With so much hype around the Traeger Brand, i figured i would dive in head first. What a mistake! 3 cooks on this thing, 3 different types of pellets, low temp, super smoke setting, ZERO smoke flavor on the meat. Dont waste your money! This is just a $1500 pellet fed convection oven. When a $500 charcoal gravity smoker produces better bbq, you’ve got problems. This unit was updated on day of delivery, so its not the firmware. Ive never had buyers remorse so badly in my life. Ive gotten better results using a $160 stick burner. I have an event next week im supposed to cook for, upon request, since in the past I’ve brought some top quality product to the table, looks like i wont be making the event this year. Sorry fellas.

Thought i was buying the “new” Ironwood verses a version 1 unit that has been out for 2 years. UGH. I do still like it but felt a little mislead by the marketing.

Upgraded from a Pro 22 and couldn't be happier. Set up was easy and the grill performs perfectly.

The smoker grill I bought was easy to put together and everything works great

100% satisfied with my purchase so far. Was always skeptical about pellet smokers, but the convenience is awesome

Two years from purchase. I would not purchase again. Cons-horrible way to remove pellets from bin that requires scooping or else pellets fall everywhere; back exterior rack holder is fine, but cover snags on it when donning/doffing; moving grill even a few feet can cause grease bucket to fall off; add-on front table not deep enough; cover way too tight; electric plug is hard to plug into unit-underneath and requires direct visualization Pro-cooks fine

Natasha and Brian from flooring made the cherry for a great weekend! They were super helpful and friendly and willing to help us into a new smoker! Even helped us load’er up! We can’t wait to fire up our new grill!

Alright, listen up all you backyard BBQ enthusiasts. If you're still grilling on some wimpy little charcoal grill, it's time to upgrade to the Traeger Ironwood 885. This thing is a beast. It's like having your own personal pit master right in your backyard.👏 I have wanted a Traeger for a long time, and this beauty is what dreams are made of! It's packed with all sorts of fancy tech features, like Wi-Fi connectivity and easy pellet hopper cleanout. But the best part? The food. Oh my god, the food. 🤤 You know those mouthwatering smoked briskets you see on TV and wish you could make? Well, I've made them on this Ironwood 885! It was like a flavor bomb went off in my mouth, it's so good, and ever since I've gotten this grill, I've contemplated becoming a full-time pit master, just have to figure out how to convince my wife. 😂 Anyway...let's talk about convenience. You can control the temperature and monitor your food from your phone, so you can sit back and relax while the Ironwood 885 does all the work. It's like having a personal assistant, but way cooler. 😎 Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Tom, isn't it expensive?" Yeah, it is. But you know what else is expensive? Eating out at a fancy BBQ joint every weekend. With my Ironwood 885, I can save my money and impress my friends and family with my newfound grilling skills. If you've been waiting to pull the trigger, go get yourself a Traeger Ironwood 885 and start grilling like a boss. Your taste buds will thank you. And who knows, maybe we can even start a BBQ empire together, if you live in the Nashville area? 🔥

I cooked on my grill for the 3rd time yesterday, put chicken on as I left for church, followed the instructions for chicken quarters, used app on my phone to increase heat 1 hour after I left. It was done when we returned!! I will probably do this every Sunday! So happy with it. It was a big investment but worth it.

I was very pleased with how well the instructions were written and how clear the images were for assembling the grill. I have used it twice so far. I think it will be fun trying out new recipes on various cuts of meat .

3 cooks in and very easy to use. Will be recommending to others. Great product

We've been considering the Traeger Ironwood 885 for 2 years! We finally made the purchase and we are super excited! I've already smoked cherries and water for the smoked ice cubes plus made 4 meals just in the past 5 days. Creating the special add-ins for drinks and making meals that have the hardwood smoke infused into them are what dreams are made of! So grateful to have this in our line-up of hunting, cooking and get-togethers!

Great product. I love being able to monitor the cooking/smoking on my cell phone.

Amazing smoker! Built like a tank! 2nd Treager I’ve purchased both are amazing

Hard to clean. Temperature swings immediately and continually. Only been a month of ownership. Traeger doesn’t care.

It is still in the box. It is winter here in Indiana.

1st grill delivered was damaged. Customer service was great and had a replacement grill delivered in 3 days. The pickup crew for the 1st grill was a fiasco and took nearly 2 weeks to finally remove. Inconvenient have 2 large grills on a small patio, but not the end of the world. Been using grill almost nightly and its the best grill/smoker I've ever owned! The Traeger app is very buggy, has to be closed and reopened to get accurate temp read backs. Also, the temp spin dial setting is off center by 5 degrees. Still, overall, best I've ever owned!!

I love this smoker. I have been wanting a Traeger for such a long time, but haven't been able to get one as I was in a condo for five years. This was the first thing that I ordered once I moved into my house. Dove right in and cooked a pork shoulder for my first meal and was extremely happy with the results and the way the grill performed. The only reason this is getting four stars was because the grill arrived, it was damaged from shipping and had some popped welds in the grease trough that I couldn't confirm were because of the shipping or because the metal wasn't properly heat relieved post welding. I got on the phone to put in a warranty claim and was taken care of right away, the rep Karen was fantastic and helped every step of the way. Received the replacement in 3 days and was in perfect condition. The smoker has been five stars since!

I have to admit I absolutely regret getting this grill. I was so excited to get it but have been disappointed again and again. The level of Smokey flavor is low. Worse is the traeger recipes (off their site) are not accurate at all. The grill temperature is way off resulting is cool times that are way off. I’ve tried multiple recipes and none have been close. A 3-hour cook takes 5-6 hours to complete and only has a slight Smokeyness. The even increasing the temp by 15-20 degrees it still takes much longer than the recipe. 100% regret buying.

The Traeger 885 grill is an exceptional grill and worth the cost. I prefer to use my grill over my oven. My oven can’t compete in flavor to my grill.

This Traeger is awesome. We previously had a Green Mountain grill that had a hard time holding temp, especially in the winter months. No problem for the Ironwood. The Wifire app makes this extremely easy to use

This is an absolutely amazing smoker! I have owned a zgrill which was horrible!!!! This smoker is amazing I love all the features! Well thought out!!

How did I live without this grill? It was easy to put together and easy to use and we made the best brisket we have ever made! The WiFire technology is absolutely easy and wonderful.

Loving my new smoker, Works like a charm. So easy to learn on

Worth every penny! Super easy to use

I’ve had a Traeger Junior for about 13 years and finally upgraded. Holy moly! There’s so much room for activities! I had friends over and easily fit 6 racks of ribs and was repeatedly told they were the best they’ve ever had. All I did was put some dry rub on them and let the Traeger do its work. It maintained temp throughout and the super smoke feature took it to the next level. Not much more you could ask for. It’s almost fool proof.

grill was dented/damaged and took 3 weeks to get the new one delivered.

It's awesome. Definitely glad I upgraded to the ironwood.
