Traeger’s pellet grills have defined the category for years. The Woodridge Elite 970 is built for the griller who wants that signature wood-fired flavor without compromise, in any weather. Its fully insulated body is the key differentiator, turning it into a four-season cooking appliance that holds temperature steady in a winter breeze.

The 970 square inches of space is genuinely massive, easily handling multiple racks of ribs or a full packer brisket. WiFIRE technology lets you monitor and adjust temperatures from your phone, which is practical when you’re hours into a smoke. The Side Sear station is a thoughtful addition, providing a direct, high-heat zone for searing steaks or finishing vegetables—something many pellet grills lack. Super Smoke mode intensifies the wood flavor at lower temperatures, giving you that essential bark on a pork shoulder.

This is a serious, premium grill with a footprint and price to match. It requires a dedicated outdoor space and a reliable power outlet. For those ready to invest, it delivers consistent, versatile performance that makes long cooks less of a chore and more of a guarantee.
