Which is better for smoking brisket or ribs?

The Traeger Pro 575, because its controller holds 165°F and up, which covers low-and-slow smoking, and the app lets you watch temps remotely. The Weber Smoque reaches 500°F but does not state a low-end floor.

Which has more cooking space?

The Weber Smoque has more total area, 594 sq in versus 575 sq in. The Traeger has the larger main grate, 418 sq in versus 385 sq in, so it fits more food directly over the fire.

Is the Traeger worth the extra money?

If the Traeger costs more at your store, you are paying for WiFi app control, a 165°F low end and a hopper clean-out. If you mostly grill at fixed temperatures and want more rack space, the Weber covers that for less.

Which is easier to move?

The Weber Smoque, at 102 lbs and 22.5 in deep, is lighter and smaller than the 124 lb, 27 in deep Traeger. Both are freestanding, but neither is a portable grill.

Do both connect to a phone?

The Traeger has built-in WiFIRE WiFi. The Weber is listed as WiFi capable and smart compatible, which usually means a separate module or app setup, so confirm what is included before buying.

Which grates last longer?

The Traeger's porcelain-coated steel grates resist rust better than the Weber's plated steel grates. Plated grates can flake over time if they are not kept dry and covered.

Traeger Pro 575 Pellet Grill vs Weber Smoque Pellet Smoker

Buy the Traeger Pro 575 if you want app control, a wider 165°F–500°F range for low-and-slow smoking plus searing, and a hopper clean-out for switching pellets. Buy the Weber Smoque if you want more total cooking area for the money and prefer a simple turn-knob controller. The Weber lists 594 sq in total against the Traeger's 575, but most of that extra is a 209 sq in warming rack over a smaller 385 sq in main grate.
