Questions and answers
- Which gives more smoke flavor?
- The Woodwind Pro 24, because its Smoke Box burns wood chunks, chips or charcoal alongside pellets and has a damper to tune heat. The Ironwood smokes with pellets only.
- Which has more cooking space?
- The Woodwind Pro 24 lists 811 square inches across two racks. Traeger does not state rack area for the Ironwood in the specs here, so compare it in person before buying.
- Is the Camp Chef worth the extra money?
- At $959.99 at McCoy's Building Supply as of November 3, it costs about $60 more than the Traeger's $899.99 low. You get the smoke box, four probes and more rack space for that.
- Which is easier to control from a phone?
- Both have Wi-Fi app control. Traeger's app is the more established, while the Camp Chef adds a full-color display and menu dial on the grill itself.
- Which is better for cold smoking?
- The Woodwind Pro 24, which has a fan-only mode for cold smoking. The Ironwood has no equivalent mode in the given specs.
- How big is the Traeger Ironwood?
