What reviewers say about the Traeger Ironwood WiFi Pellet Grill
Two whitelisted hands-on testers — Engadget and Reviewed (USA Today) — reviewed the 2023-redesign Traeger Ironwood (Reviewed's unit was the Ironwood XL). Both praised consistent, evenly distributed temperatures and wood-fired flavor and flagged the steep price, but they diverged sharply on searing heat-up time and overall value. Non-whitelisted sources (GearJunkie, Rolling Stone, Field & Stream, Popular Science, Consumer Reports) and retailer reviews were excluded.

Where reviewers disagree The two testers split on heat-up speed and value. Engadget found the grill reaches temperature in about 12 minutes whether smoking at 225°F or searing at 500°F, whereas Reviewed measured 15 minutes to 250°F but almost 45 minutes to hit 500°F on more than one occasion. On the verdict, Engadget concluded it is now 'just another pricey alternative' and preferred the older 2019 Ironwood, while Reviewed named it their favorite pellet grill tested — provided budget is no concern.
