Which is better for beginners?

The Traeger Woodridge Pro. Set-It & Forget-It and app control take the guesswork out of temperature, and the pellet sensor warns you before you run out mid-cook.

Which is better for a small patio?

The Weber SmokeFire EX6. At 56 inches wide and 18 inches deep it takes up noticeably less room than the Traeger at 68 by 26.8 inches.

Is the Weber worth the extra money?

No at current prices. It costs $1,299.00 at Target as of November 7, 2026, against $1,145.99 for the Traeger at BbqGuys, and it lists fewer features. It is only worth it near its $699.30 low or if space is tight.

Which has better app control?

The Traeger. WiFIRE connects to the Traeger app for remote monitoring, and the pellet sensor reports fuel level there too. The Weber's given specs list no Wi-Fi.

Which one do owners rate higher?

The Weber has a 3.3 out of 5 from 73 ratings, which is middling. No owner rating is given for the Traeger, so compare store ratings before you buy.

Do prices on these two move much?

Yes. The Traeger fell to $479.50 on November 1, 2026, before returning to $1,145.99, and the Weber sat at $699.30 on October 31, 2026. Set a price alert rather than buying at the top.
