Traeger Timberline vs Pit Boss FB2 Series Pellet Grill

The Pit Boss FB2 is the better buy for most shoppers. It has a larger two-tier cooking area, a porcelain-coated grate, and a flame broiler lever that reaches 1,000°F for direct searing, which the Timberline cannot do. The Traeger Timberline counters with stronger smart features: WiFIRE app control, a pellet sensor, Super Smoke mode, and a downdraft exhaust, plus stainless steel interior parts and a double-skin lid. Owners rate the Pit Boss much higher (4.7 vs 3.6), while Timberline reviews often mention controller and app problems.

• Choose the Traeger Timberline if you want app control, pellet-level monitoring, and set-and-forget smoking with Super Smoke, and you value the stainless interior and double-skin lid.
• Choose the Pit Boss FB2 if you want more cooking space, higher searing heat, and the stronger owner satisfaction record for everyday backyard cooking.
