Traeger Woodridge Elite

Top-tier Woodridge model adding a side sear station and insulated lid to the 970 sq in Pro Plus platform.

$1,800Approx. MSRP

Worth it for someone who grills steaks often and wants built-in searing plus cold-weather performance; skip it if you just want basic smoking, since the base Woodridge does that for far less.

Pros

  • Adds a dedicated infrared sear station for steakhouse-style high-heat searing
  • Insulated lid improves heat retention and cuts pellet use in cold weather
  • Loads of cooking room — 970 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone
  • Big hopper (24 lb) runs long unattended cooks

Watch-outs

  • Roughly $650 premium over the Woodridge Pro is steep for two added features
  • Sear station and insulated lid only pay off if you sear often or grill through cold winters
  • Too new for long-term reliability data
  • Heavy (221 lb) — pick its spot and leave it
