Traeger Ironwood 885

Prior-generation large-capacity Ironwood still in production, offering 885 sq in of cooking space.

$1,400Approx. MSRP

A roomy, dependable choice for frequent large cookouts, though it's the outgoing generation now replaced by the Ironwood XL.

Pros

  • Rated by reviewers as one of the most consistent temperature-holding grills they've tested
  • Even heat across the whole chamber and fast startup
  • Huge capacity — room for roughly 8 chickens, 5 rib racks, or 6 pork butts at once
  • Loads of cooking room — 885 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Now the older generation, superseded in Traeger's current lineup by the Ironwood XL
  • Heavy steel construction makes it hard to move once assembled
  • Heavy (175 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Pellet hopper occasionally doesn't feed the auger reliably, causing temperature dips mid-cook
  • A subset of long-term owners report interior sheet-metal warping or component failures
