Ironwood 885

This Traeger is the Leonardo Da DaVinci and the “Ironwood 885” is the Mona Lisa of Grills/SMOKER! This is a machine that God himself is in complete Awe! This jaw dropping Product is so good!!! It’s got the ease of Propane with the flavor of Wood/Charcoal! It is absolutely SIMPLE to use! A friend brought a Tri Tip to thanksgiving and promised I would like the product. I tried an end Piece (my favorite) and Time Froze! Floating on cloud 9! I could feel the warmth and happiness in my empty stomach. I PURCHASED ONE THE NEXT DAY! Ironwood 885. Noted Observations, 1. The product is HIGH Quality metal. 2. Assembly was simple. 3. They give you a cool Screwdriver and not that useless Garbage bits other Self assembly product give you. 4. Very large grates and cooking space 5. It’s operation is straight forward 6. It’s operation is , Set Temp, warm up, add meat (or your Tofurkey), push the super Smoke button, set timer and come back when done! The assembly was Simple. I’ve used it every day since I got it. Day 1, Burgers and Tri Tip Day 2, Tri Tip again Day 3, Home made sausage (*Drool*) Day 4, Roast Beef Day 5, Pork Spare Ribs (A must) Day 6, tonight, BEEF BACK RIBS! This one I put in the smoker around 12 noon and we sat down and ate at 6:45pm. A LOOOONG Low & Slow Heat & Smoke cook. The final Product was so SO GOOD! I could not imagine food the same way again. This is my first smoker but been with friend who use a different smoker. Nothing got me excited like this one! In fact, out of the thousands of Products I’ve purchased, this is one of a few I actually took the time to add a review. It’s that good! Ya, it’s 1500, but dollar for dollar, a stove is a 1500 dollar heat source. Traeger is a Machine of the Gods! Just look at those Ribs in the photo I added! I am new to the smoker world and this is what this machine has done for me, as a beginner! I cant wait until I fully understand the Art of Smoking! Brisket is next on the list for tomorrow, saved the best for last! Don’t be that person all sad in front of your stove dreaming of the Traeger Lisa machine! Just GET IT!!! Best purchase I ever made! God bless Traeger and be part of the Traegerhood! Get yours now!

This machine is magical. Ease of operation. Beats Pitboss any day. Great product.

This pellet smoker is BOSS. I LOVE IT. Assembly was as easy as it gets. It was delivered really fast. I downloaded the Traeger app and connected it to my WiFi & smoker very easily. Seasoned the grill then cooked some Ribs. It's so nice to be able to monitor the process with your phone from anywhere. What a time savor. And the RESULTS ARE CRAZY GOOD. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BUYING THIS. TRAEGER IS THE BEST OUT THERE!

I put off purchasing a Traeger for years. This past summer I went to the county fair where they had a Traeger booth and I spent some time. They were pushing hard the newer Timberline and Ironwood XL. I wasn't ready to spend over $3,000 for one though. They did have the Ironwood 885 there also but because they wanted to sell the newer more expensive models, they acted like it was an unwanted step child and made you feel like a fool if you were to buy it. They did demonstrate all the grills well and did finally sell me on the idea of a pellet smoker though - so I came home and bought the Ironwood 885 on Amazon for $300 less than their "Best Price" at the fair! I have no regrets. Its been 6 months and I use it regularly. My favorite part is turning that bad boy on and the smell of smoke in the air. It is not real smokey - but it is like a campfire, it smokes the most when you first fire it up. It is like a convection oven and being able to set the temperature and let it maintain the temperature control and just sit back outside and drink a beer and smell the smoke in the air is GREAT! Anything you can cook in the oven you can cook on the Traeger and get a great smoke flavor in it. I cooked my first brisket over Labor Day weekend and all my guests loved it. Ran it almost 20 hours straight and refilled the hopper only twice. I am looking forward to doing a Turkey on it in a few weeks for Thanksgiving. I normally air fry my turkey, but going for a spatchcock turkey on the Traeger this year. If you're like me and been putting it off - just do it. I have a hard time making large $ purchases because I am a cheap butt! But Amazon made the impact easier with their 4 month no interest payment option which helped me get over my cheap attitude! :-)

The smoker works perfectly and, after three different meats / recipes / efforts we are very happy with our purchase. I gave 4 stars only because getting the Traeger and the downloaded App working with our WiFi was a three-day exercise in frustration. Online support wasn’t much help. Trial and error (not documentation) finally worked and the App is great. All three smoking efforts yielded A+ results. I’ll be using it often.

Excellent smoker. Use it multiple times and week and it works exactly as expected every single time. Very happy with the purchase. Recommend getting a cover as well

Great addition to our back yard and cooking experiences easy to use,

Hands down the best smoker I have ever owned

Love my first smoker...had it 3 days and used it 3 days...steak veal chops and duck so far...

We have had this TRAEGER for a couple of years and it has held up and we loved it so much that we have gotten rid of our bbq. Once you own one of these you won’t ever just bbq again!! LOVE IT!!! Tons of cooking space and love that it connects to the app so makes it easy to monitor.
