Pro 780

Wonderful grill

The Wi-Fi feature is great for monitoring the cook while doing something else. however, is not a grill more for the slower cooking.

I've had my Traeger for a little over a year now and am very happy with it. I use it at least once a week, often more. The ease of use, the ability for me to monitor the temperature of the smoker and the meat from my phone, and the quality of food I'm able to cook with this thing are all huge pluses. The only negative is that I would like a little more smoke output. However, I solved this using a cheap smoke tube.

I previously used a vertical propane smoker, which was so much work to regulate temps and constantly add water. A couple of my friends switched to pellet smokers this year from brands like Traeger and Camp Chef, but after asking their opinions the Traeger had a better reputation and features. The choice between the Ironwood and Pro 780 kind of comes down to the super smoke and pellet level options. I couldn't justify the extra expense so I went with the Pro 708 and couldn't be happier. For extra smoke, I bought a $7 pellet tube that enhances smoke for many hours when I need it. The ease of use coupled with the mobile app allows me to smoke from anywhere. We boat and being able to be on the beach and keep an eye on the smoker is an amazing life improvement. All I need to do is jet back after a couple hours, wrap the ribs, and head back knowing that the temps are going to remain spot on for consistent results. I really don't have any negatives other than the somewhat high price and lack of included fold-down front shelf, but the WiFire feature alone is worth it! I am also curious why the plug doesn't have a ground on it considering you are using it outside and it can get wet. I am also concerned if it has some kind of surge protector in it since the electronics are sensitive and would hate to have moisture risk damaging the device. I did buy a cover though, but humidity will always find a way. I highly recommend this if you love to smoke/grill with consistent results and want to be able to just walk away and spend time with friends instead of the distractions of managing the grill.

I absolutely love the smoker, it is very easy to use, and is extremely nice quality. My only issue with it is it doesn’t put out enough smoke so to increase the amount of smoke I bought a LIZZQ 12” Premium Pellet Smoker Tube from Amazon and it made all the difference in the world. Just pack it full of pellets, and light it with a torch of some sort, I have a propane torch that I use and put it inside the smoker and it seriously increases the amount of smoke while cooking.

Provides great low and slow cooking. Love the app connection to go about your day as smoker does its business. Recommend adding the pellet chamber sensor to monitor pellet supply, i like mine. Buy smoke tubes if you want more smoke, they work well. Newer model has "super smoke" option, don't know if that helps increase smoke. Traeger says anything under 180 degrees is smoke setting (older models like this one), but Traeger pellets provided less than expected smoke for smoke infused flavor, even at low (180 degrees) setting. Experimenting with new pellets that are 100% wood, word has it this helps increase smoke and smoke infused flavor. Very stable, heavy construction yet easy to move with sturdy legs and casters. Temperature probe option questionable (might need to get use to it and calibrate more often, it's easy to calibrate). I will likely monitor temps with my "Meater" brand probes, my favorite for short or long cooks with my old smoker. Interesting Traeger chefs videos on recipes show using "Meater" probes.

My buddy got a Traeger 570 last year and I was sufficiently impressed that I had been looking for an excuse to get a smoker myself after doing it on my gas grill with indirect heat and smoke tubes. Watched dozens of video reviews of different brands and kept coming back to the Traeger. Decided on the 780 Pro for the WiFire and larger cooking area. Scheduled a delivery on a Friday afternoon, assembled it with a little help from the wife to make sure I didn't pull anything while standing it back up on it's legs, and did the seasoning all in about 2 hours. I've seen several complaints about the wifi connection process, but mine went smoothly and connected the first time (make sure your phone is on the 2.4ghz network you want the grill to be on; easy peasy). Woke up a 0 dark thirty the next morning and set the grill for 275 to preheat while I trimmed up and seasoned the boston butt. The 780 got to temp in about 20 minutes even though it was 29 degrees outside when I started. Got the meat on and smoked then wrapped for about 9 hours total. I did use one smoke tube of pellets to give some extra smoke, since the 780 doesn't have the "super smoke" option the Timberline models do. Temps never wandered more than about 8 degrees up or down according to the app and the probe alarm told me when we'd hit 205. Even the wife was really impressed with the flavor and tenderness of the pork. So far I'm really happy with my purchase and looking forward to doing the Thanksgiving turkey this year!

It's a Traeger - need I say more? After 12 years we felt it was time to upgrade our Traeger, & we couldn't be happier! It's digital, slightly larger than our 22, & very handsome! Huge bonus: Two awesome & knowledgeable Amazon delivery drivers assembled it with care & hauled off the packaging - free of charge! Yep, you read that right! Time to bake some blueberry muffins!

My first pellet smoker after having a Komodo. Definitely happy, although the amount of smoke isn’t enough. I bought a smoker tube and that problem was solved.

I surprised my husband with this for Christmas and it has been such a hit. It was easy to install. It's easy to use and makes some tasty food! I also love the colour on this model!

Bought this smoker for my sons birthday. Absolutely loves it ! Requires more cleaning than expected but it does some tasty cooking. Just follow the guide to get started and get ready fir so.e serious BBQ !
