I tried Traeger's new Woodridge grill, which offers a large cooking area, easy-to-use controls, and stable temperatures at an affordable price. Here are my thoughts after testing.

I Was really impressed with the amount of smoke and the flavor of the pork shoulder I smoked was absolutely delicious. My final conclusion is if it's done correctly, super smoke definitely works.

On the Woodridge, the hopper has a 24 pound capacity, more than enough for most low-and-slow smoke sessions. These new grills also have Traeger’s Pop-And-Lock (PAL) rail system around the outside.

Traeger is one of the biggest names in backyard grilling. The company's line of pellet grills offers WiFi connectivity and other handy features across the board starting at $900.

Traeger Provisions is the company's take on prepared meal kits. You still have to cook the meat, but nearly every other aspect is taken care of—including snacks to munch on while the food cooks.
