Traeger Tailgater vs Traeger Woodridge

The Woodridge is the better grill for anyone who cooks at home regularly. It has 860 sq in across two racks, a 24 lb hopper, a 500°F ceiling and WiFIRE app control. The Tailgater is a 300 sq in portable with folding legs and an 8 lb hopper, and it tops out at 450°F. Owners rate both around 4 out of 5; the Tailgater's 4.1 comes from 214 ratings and the Woodridge's 4.0 from 266. Build differs too: the Woodridge is a 138 lb cart with an ash keg and accessory rails, the Tailgater a 60 lb barrel you carry.

• Choose the Traeger Tailgater if you cook away from home, on a balcony or in tight space, and 300 sq in with a 450°F ceiling covers your meals.
• Choose the Traeger Woodridge if it stays in one spot and you want two racks, app monitoring, a bigger hopper and a higher searing temperature.
