Traeger Tailgater vs Traeger Westwood XL

Buy the Westwood XL if you cook for a household or entertain and want WiFIRE app control, 825 sq. in. of space and an 18 lb hopper. Buy the Tailgater if the grill has to travel or live on a small balcony. The Westwood XL is the better-built, more capable grill and its owners rate it higher, but it weighs 113 lbs and does not fold, so it stays put. The Tailgater folds flat, weighs about 60 lbs and runs on 8 lbs of pellets, which means short cooks and frequent refills.

• Choose the Tailgater if you need a pellet grill that folds up and moves with you, and 300 sq. in. is enough for a few people.
• Choose the Westwood XL if the grill stays on a patio and you want app control, a wired meat probe and room for a crowd.
