What are the problem with these ?

@@amehrban6775 Hi. I had purchased my Ironwood XL right when they released in Feb. and had many issues with the controller, keeping temps, instructions and the burn in. To be fair, Traeger has updated the firmware in the new controllers and it is working MUCH better. I can recommend this smoker now that the firmware appears to be much more stable, the unit keeps temps much better, and it is working well on wifi / app.

Beer can chicken for the win my friend. :-)

Hi Richard, thanks for the heads up! We have it up again! tips.acehardware.com/videos/traeger-side-by-side-grill-comparison/

Stevan575 we fixed that on all of the videos we do now. Thanks for watching

We agree, they do get dirty and keep it from heating up sometimes! Here's our Traeger grill cleaning video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kA7kyd7G9ns.htmlsi=diTBJz-LEwikOOub

There is always buy online and deliver to store!

Steve Chamberlin hi Steve, I get a wurr sound from the fan and drive system, not so much of a squeal. I would say give it a couple cooks to settle in and if it doesn’t subside, give Traeger a call.

RetiredBadge absolutely, I have 6 Traeger Grills setup in my app and can control as many as I need. Happy Cooking, Chef Jason

Thank you.

the most helpful set of hooks ever. :-). Happy Cooking, Chef Jason

Aristocob hello, this Grill was only cooked on once, you tend to see the ash on the stainless steel double wall a bit more, until you cook some fatty foods, then it seasons just like the other Traegers. Totally normal and doesn’t affect the food or flavor. Thanks for watching

I would call Traeger support or visit your local Ace and let our helpful folks take care of you. Chef Jason

Bill Dobberpuhl hi Bill, I haven’t had any issues cooking on the 650 or 885. Make sure to burn it in properly and you should be fine. They are great machines and we use the ironwoods for a ton of our projects. Happy Cooking. Chef Jason

Just bought the Irionwood 885. It's currently cooking the first set of ribs. I seasoned the grill as instructed, and it cannot keep a temp within the set temp to save its life. I set the temp for 225 and one minute it's at 265 and the next it's at 190. I have no idea what's going on with this thing.

Rick Hartsock that’s exactly what I’m afraid of . It’s a lot of money for so so performance. I emailed Traeger and they told me that temperature problems only occur when the owner doesn’t maintain the grill. I have read many people having problems with brand new grills. It’s a shame, I like some of their features but I’m afraid I have read too many negative reviews. I will be going with a Rec Tec.

Hi again guys, I cook on these things thousands of hours a year and don’t have any issues. I wouldn’t let the first cook be the determining factor. It takes a couple cooks for it to settle into a groove. It does on any of my grills. I cook on these things thousands of hours a year. Had 3 Ironwoods going at an event today in Sturgis, cold and windy out and they all held temp great and did an amazing job. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions of if I can answer anything else. Jason@5280culinary.com

@@Dubaidude454 Hi David, just curious how the 885 has been working for you the past couple of years? I am in the process of buying a pellet grill. Trying to figure out what to get.

about 12-15 minutes to get up to temp of 350˚ or higher. Chef Jason

Be sure to pick a great new car. May I suggest the Ferrari? :-) Chef Jason

JULIO AVILES yes you can, turn it up to 500 degrees and sear it off.

Thank you man

Stay tuned, were going to do a Carne Asada recipe this week. Will work great on the Traeger, Weber or Big Green Egg. @@julioaviles5006

5280 Culinary - Chef Jason Morse thank you Jason

The initial burn in or seasoning process only has to be done once. you don't need to cook right away after the seasoning process. the seasoning process is to help burn off any stamping lubricant and get the grill ready for your first cook, whenever that is. Happy Cooking, Chef Jason

I haven't had any issues with wifi on any of my WiFire Grills. I use them at home, in our BBQ trailer and even with a jetpack. I know a few people have mentioned they needed a signal booster to have a stronger signal. Double check where your router is in relation to the grill. the closer the better. let me know if I can be of any more help. Chef Jason

You clearly don't understand how pellet grills work.

When the smoke is white and visible your over smoking. Blue smoke is what you want and it's barely visible.

Patrick 898 thanks for watching Patrick. I’m not that old, but I love cooking on these Traeger Grills. Have you ever cooked on one?

I have a GMG. A lot better grill, with more features and better quality. My father in law has a traeger elite and my GMG is way better for a fraction of the price. I have yet to have someone tell me why traegers are so much more.

Patrick 898 can’t go wrong with a pellet grill. Happy Cooking!!!

And Vietnam. Don't forget them!

Leonard Martin it’s really a great exhaust system and keep so much blue smoke in the grill. For sure be careful how close you put it to anything. We recommend 24” behind it. Once fully cooled and unplugged, I store mine snug up against my house. Covered too

George Ashmore I’m much slower now with only 1 cup of coffee. We also fixed the on screen to be much longer. Sorry for that. Thanks for watching and happy grilling

bataleon we do now. Smh.

HENOX ALVAREZ not sure, better see an ear specialist. Thanks for watching our videos.

Grilling is exciting! :)
