Traeger adds Woodridge Pro Plus: Wi‑Fi grill with built‑in storage cabinet and improved mobility
Traeger has expanded its Woodridge lineup with the new Woodridge Pro Plus, introduced just before the holidays. The Pro Plus builds on the Woodridge Pro’s core feature set while adding an enclosed storage cabinet and four casters for easier maneuvering — upgrades aimed at convenience and tidier backyard setups.
The Pro Plus retains WiFIRE connectivity via the Traeger app, Super Smoke mode and a large 970 square inches of cooking space. It also includes an integrated pellet level sensor, support for wireless Meater probes, and the P.A.L. Rail system for customizing storage and organization on the cart.
What’s new vs. other Woodridge models
- Enclosed storage cabinet: replaces the open shelf on the Pro, offering room to keep pellet bins and accessories protected and close at hand.
- Four casters: improves mobility on solid surfaces compared with the fixed legs of the standard Pro.
- Feature parity: the Pro Plus keeps the Pro’s Wi‑Fi control, Super Smoke, pellet sensor and 970 sq in cooking area; the Elite still differs by adding an induction side burner.
Practical details
Traeger positions the Pro Plus as a mid‑tier upgrade: it costs $400 more than the Woodridge Pro, while the Elite remains the premium choice for users wanting an induction side burner. The inclusion of app control and accessory support means the Pro Plus fits into Traeger’s ecosystem for remote temperature control, cooking presets and probe monitoring.
Who should consider it?
Choose the Pro Plus if you value on‑board storage and easier mobility but don’t need the Elite’s induction burner. It’s a sensible pick for backyard cooks who use add‑on accessories, store pellets on the cart, or move the grill between patio spots during the season.

Discussion: Would the enclosed cabinet and casters justify paying $400 more for the Pro Plus — or would you opt for the base Pro or splurge for the Elite with the induction burner?
