-
P.A.L. Pop-And-Lock™ and ModiFIRE® compatibility provides a wide range of accessory and cooking-surface options.
Designed for Low-and-Slow Barbecue
If brisket, pulled pork, ribs and smoked chicken are high on your cooking list, the Ironwood is one of the strongest options in the Traeger range. Super Smoke® Mode gives you greater smoke intensity at lower temperatures, while the insulated body and Smart Combustion™ system help maintain stable heat over long cooks.
For everyday cooking, the Ironwood can also roast, bake and grill at temperatures up to 260°C, giving you one barbecue that can handle both long smoking sessions and midweek meals.
WiFIRE® App Control
The Ironwood connects to the Traeger App through WiFIRE® technology. From your phone, you can monitor grill temperature, adjust settings, follow compatible guided recipes, receive notifications and keep an eye on your cook without standing beside the barbecue.
The integrated pellet sensor also reports the hopper level through the app, helping reduce the chance of running low on pellets during a long cook.
616 sq. in. Cooking Capacity
The Ironwood provides 616 sq. in. of total cooking area across two porcelain-coated steel grates. This gives it plenty of space for family cooking and entertaining without the larger footprint of the Ironwood XL.
If you regularly cook for bigger groups, the Ironwood XL increases total cooking capacity to 924 sq. in. while retaining essentially the same core Ironwood features.
Ironwood vs Ironwood XL
The main difference is cooking capacity. The standard Ironwood provides 616 sq. in. of cooking space, while the Ironwood XL provides 924 sq. in.. Both models share the same premium platform, including WiFIRE®, Super Smoke®, touchscreen control, EZ-Clean™, dual-wall construction, pellet sensing and compatibility with P.A.L. and ModiFIRE accessories.
For most families and regular backyard cooking, the standard Ironwood offers substantial capacity in a more compact package. For frequent large gatherings or cooks requiring more grate space, the Ironwood XL is the better fit.
Ironwood vs Woodridge
The Ironwood is aimed at cooks wanting a more premium Traeger experience. Its key advantages include Super Smoke® Mode, insulated dual-wall construction, a touchscreen controller, Downdraft Exhaust® and premium heat-management features. The Woodridge range remains an excellent option for straightforward WiFIRE® pellet grilling, while the Ironwood is better suited to enthusiasts who place greater emphasis on smoke flavour, temperature stability and premium features.

- Families wanting an easy-to-use pellet grill for everyday cooking
- Cooks who want WiFi monitoring and remote temperature control
