Reception is mixed: some owners like the Ironwood line, but others report weak smoke flavor and one describes a unit that died after less than a year.
What owners say
Reception on Traeger is mixed. One commenter likes the Ironwood, and another was 'thrilled with the smoke ring' but 'never enthused with the lack of smoke flavor' on their Traeger with Traeger pellets. A more critical owner reports disappointing build quality and a unit that 'shut off in the middle of cooking something and has been completely dead since' after less than a year, cautioning others against buying one.
