Is the Pro 575 worth it over a gas grill?

If you want wood smoke flavor and hands-off temperature control, it does things a gas grill can't. A gas grill still heats faster and sears hotter.

How does it compare with the Pro 780?

The Pro 780 gives you more cooking space and a larger hopper. The Pro 575 is the smaller, easier-to-place version with the same controller family.

Does it need WiFi to cook?

No. You can set temperature at the controller. WiFi and the app add remote monitoring and adjustment.

The grill, a meat probe and the hopper components. Pellets are sold separately.

It reaches 500°F, which gives a decent sear. For heavy steak searing, a cast-iron grate or a gas grill does better.

How much pellet capacity does it have?

The 18-lb hopper supports long cooks, and the clean-out system lets you switch pellet flavors quickly.

About the Pro 575 Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker

The Traeger Pro 575 is an electric wood pellet grill and smoker. It cooks with wood pellets, without gas or charcoal, and handles low-and-slow smoking as well as high-heat cooking up to 500°F. It grills, smokes, bakes, roasts, braises and barbecues.

WiFIRE technology connects the grill to the Traeger App. From a phone, you can monitor and adjust temperatures, set timers and receive alerts. A D2 Direct Drive drivetrain with a digital controller and brushless motor provides fast ignition and consistent heat. Turbo-Temp helps the grill recover quickly after the lid is opened. The included meat probe lets you check internal food temperature without lifting the lid.

The cooking area is 575 sq. in. and fits up to 24 burgers, 5 racks of ribs or 4 whole chickens. The 18-lb hopper supports long smoke sessions, and a hopper clean-out system makes it quick to switch pellet flavors. The grill has heavy-duty steel construction, a powder-coated finish, a sawhorse chassis and all-terrain wheels.
