Traeger’s reputation is built on making wood-fired flavor accessible. The Woodridge Pro 970 embodies that mission, offering a massive cooking surface in a straightforward, digitally-controlled package. It’s for the host who wants to smoke a brisket and grill burgers for a crowd, all without managing charcoal or gas.

The 970 square inches of primary grilling space is the headline. In practice, that means you can comfortably fit six racks of ribs or four whole chickens at once. The digital controller and WiFIRE technology handle the temperature precisely, letting you set it to 225°F for a low smoke or crank it to 450°F for direct grilling, then walk away. The Super Smoke mode intensifies the wood pellet flavor during those crucial low-and-slow sessions.

You’re getting a serious, all-steel construction that feels built to last. The side shelf is a non-negotiable for tools and plates. Just know this is an AC-powered appliance, so placement requires planning for an outdoor outlet. For its size and set-it-and-forget-it convenience, it simplifies producing authentic barbecue flavor on a grand scale.
