Of all the grilling options on the market today, none are as talked about – or have as much of a loyal following – as Traeger. Mixing innovative technology with a serious ambition to make outdoor cooking easier and better tasting, Traeger has become the number one wood pellet grill producer in the world. And, the Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker with Alexa and WiFIRE Smart Home Technology is a good one.

Like all Traeger grills, the Ironwood 885 is a grill and smoker all-in-one, with the power to plug in anywhere – yep, no gas or charcoal required. With the latest in cooking technology, this grill utilizes WiFIRE, which allows you to monitor and adjust your grill’s settings anytime, anywhere from the convenience of the Traeger smartphone app. We also think WiFIRE is just a really cool name, BTW…Plus, all Pro Series WiFIRE-enabled pellet grills now start quicker, heat up faster, and put out better smoke quality.

Here’s the cool part: this Traeger has a 6-in-1 versatility enabling you to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, and BBQ all on the same grill. This is a real-deal and all kinds of awesome grilling gift.
