Traeger Pro 22 Bronze

Entry-level Pro Series grill (Gen 1) with 572 sq in of cooking space and an 18 lb hopper.

$550Approx. MSRP

A budget-friendly starter smoker for a smaller household, but plan to use a separate meat thermometer rather than trusting the built-in display.

Pros

  • Long-term owners report years of trouble-free use when units are healthy
  • Classic, simple Traeger operation with no learning curve
  • Solid value within the Pro line
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Smaller cooking area than the 34-inch version limits how much you can cook at once
  • Display temperature isn't trustworthy enough to rely on alone
  • No app control at this price

Known niggles

  • Built-in thermostat/thermometer can read 60-75°F off from actual grate temperature because the probe sits near the firebox
  • Some owners report auger stoppages or intermittent shutdowns pointing to control-system issues
