What reviewers say

Traeger Ironwood 885 Pellet Grill

  • 4.3 / 5490 ratings

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 490 ratings, the Ironwood 885 is generally well regarded for steady temperatures and smoke flavor. Owners like the size and the insulated body; complaints tend to center on searing limits and the need for power.

What people mention
  • Temperature controlPraisedOwners report the digital controller holds set temperatures closely through long cooks.
  • Cooking capacityPraisedThe 885 square inches and warming rack are cited as enough for large gatherings.
  • Smoke flavorPraisedSuper Smoke mode is mentioned as delivering stronger smoke on low-and-slow cooks.
  • SearingCriticisedThe 500°F ceiling is called out as too low for a hard sear on steaks.

Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24

Owners of the Woodwind Pro line consistently praise the Smoke Box for delivering smoke flavor that ordinary pellet grills lack, and they like the Wi-Fi controller and probe setup. Common complaints center on assembly effort, the grill's weight and the app connection.

What people mention
  • Smoke flavorPraisedOwners say the Smoke Box gives a deeper smoke profile than pellet-only grills.
  • Temperature controlPraisedThe PID controller holds steady temperatures and the smoke number is adjustable.
  • App connectivityMixedThe Camp Chef Connect app is useful for monitoring, but pairing and Wi-Fi drops frustrate some users.
  • AssemblyCriticisedBuyers report the build takes a couple of hours and is easier with two people.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a large family or party?

Which gives more smoke flavor?
The Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24. Its Smoke Box lets you add wood chunks, chips or charcoal alongside pellets and adjust a damper, while the Traeger smokes with pellets only.
Is the Woodwind Pro 24 worth the extra over the Ironwood 885?
It is not extra at the latest prices: $959.99 was its low on November 3, 2026, versus $1,247.67 for the Traeger on November 8, 2026. The Camp Chef costs less and adds fuel flexibility, but gives up cooking space.
Which has more temperature probes?
The Camp Chef. It has four probe ports and includes four stainless probes. The Traeger includes one Traeger meat probe.
Do both reach the same maximum temperature?
Yes. Both top out at 500°F, so neither sears hotter than the other on paper.
