Traeger Woodridge PRO Deep Dive: Built for Weeknight Chefs and Weekend Pitmasters
If you’ve ever daydreamed of a backyard cooker that combined true wood smoke, app based controls, and enough space for a family feast, the Traeger Woodridge PRO IS the grill you’ve been waiting for. New to Atlantic Outdoor’s showroom, this model delivers that signature Traeger flavour with a feature set tuned for people who want “set it and forget it” convenience from Monday to Friday - and competition-level results for weekend cookouts.
What Sets the Woodridge PRO Apart?
Super Smoke Mode for Low and Slow Masters
Traeger’s Super Smoke Mode increases fan speed and auger timing at temps under 225 °F, flooding the cook chamber with extra blue smoke. Brisket, pork shoulder, and ribs soak up deep flavour without constant spritzing or babysitting.
High Heat Versatility
Need burgers for a hungry crowd or a pizza night at 500 °F? Crank the controller, and the Woodridge PRO responds fast, holding temps within roughly ±15 °F across the grate. That range means you can smoke, roast, braise, bake, or grill without swapping cookers.
WiFIRE and App Control
Connect the grill to your home Wi‑Fi, open the Traeger app, and you can:
-
Change temperatures on the fly
-
Activate Super Smoke or Keep Warm
-
Check pellet levels via the onboard digital sensor
-
Track food temps through the included meat probe
Perfect for Atlantic Canada’s unpredictable weather - stay inside, sip coffee, and adjust temps from your phone.
EZ‑Clean Grease and Ash Keg
Pellet grills taste great, but ash buildup can be a chore. Traeger’s EZ‑Clean system funnels both grease and spent ash into a single sealed keg. Pull one lever, dump the liner, and you are back to grilling.
Cooking Capacity in Real‑World Terms
-
Primary grate area fits two full packer briskets or four pork butts.
-
Secondary grate (removable) can fit another packer brisket, but also adds a second tier for wings, sides, or reverse‑seared steaks.
-
Folding side shelf gives you room to rest trays and cutting boards without hogging the patio table.
If you routinely cook for four to six people but also host the occasional neighbourhood rib party, the Woodridge PRO’s footprint is right in the sweet spot.

The Woodridge PRO lands between the workhorse Pro Series and the premium Ironwood, giving you modern cleaning and connectivity upgrades without the price tag of the Timberline.
If we compare the Woodridge PRO to the base model of the Woodridge, you’re gaining over 100 in² of cooking space, the amazing Super Smoke functionality, and the intelligent pellet sensor. The added features of the PRO are absolutely worth the price difference.
Quick Tips for First‑Time Owners
-
Season the grill – Run it at 350 °F for 45 minutes on first use to burn off residual oils.
-
Keep pellets dry – Store bags indoors and use a sealed bin next to the hopper. Moist pellets can swell and jam the auger.
-
Use the probe – Brisket, turkey, and pork shoulder are done by internal temp, not cook time. Trust the probe, not the clock.
-
Clean the keg – Empty grease and ash every three to five cooks for best airflow and flavour.
-
Try different pellets – Apple on pork, Cherry on chicken, Hickory on beef. Pellets are your spice cabinet.

At 225 °F expect around one pound of pellets per hour. A full 22 lb hopper can run roughly 18–20 hours.
Traeger recommends their own pellets for warranty purposes, but any food‑grade 100% hardwood pellet will work. Just avoid heating or softwood blends.
Assembly is a breeze at home with Traeger’s comprehensive instructions. If you DIY, allow 60–90 minutes with basic tools and a second pair of hands for lifting the barrel.
Yes. Pre‑heat to 500 °F, drop a cast‑iron sear grate or the ModiFIRE griddle, and you’ll get a restaurant‑quality crust in minutes.
