Serious Capacity for Serious BBQ
The standout feature of the Ironwood XL is its enormous cooking space. With 924 square inches of cooking area, you can comfortably cook:
- 8 whole chickens

- Multiple briskets at once
Whether you're catering for a footy grand final, Christmas lunch, or a neighbourhood BBQ, the Ironwood XL gives you room to cook everything in a single session.
Super Smoke® Mode
When maximum wood-fired flavour matters, activate Super Smoke® Mode.
This feature increases smoke production at lower cooking temperatures, helping create:
- Better bark on brisket
- Richer smoke rings
- More pronounced wood-fired flavour
- Competition-style BBQ results
It's one of the key reasons serious pellet grill users choose the Ironwood range over entry-level pellet smokers.
WiFIRE® Smart Grilling Technology
Monitor and control your cook from anywhere using the Traeger App.
With WiFIRE®, you can:
- Change grill temperatures remotely
- Monitor food probe temperatures
- Receive cooking notifications
- Access hundreds of Traeger recipes
- Follow guided cooks step-by-step
The result is true "set and forget" cooking that frees you up to spend more time with family and guests.
Built for Consistency
The Ironwood XL features:
Fully Insulated Construction
Dual-wall insulation helps maintain stable cooking temperatures while improving pellet efficiency and cold-weather performance.
Downdraft Exhaust®
Rather than allowing smoke to immediately escape through a chimney, Traeger's Downdraft Exhaust® system circulates smoke throughout the cooking chamber before venting it from the rear, helping maximise flavour.
Smart Combustion™ Technology
Advanced pellet management and airflow systems help maintain precise cooking temperatures throughout long smoking sessions.
Easier Cleanup
The EZ-Clean™ Grease & Ash Keg collects grease and ash into a removable container, making maintenance significantly easier than traditional charcoal smokers.
Spend less time cleaning and more time cooking.
