Pellet grill devotees are passionate about their cookers — and Traeger consistently tops lists of the best pellet grills, including ours. These grills deliver precise temperature control, effortless low-and-slow cooking, and genuine wood-fired flavor that gas and charcoal simply can’t match.
The catch? They’ll cost you.
A full-sized Traeger typically costs around $1,000, but the brand has launched its most budget-friendly line, the Westwood series, ahead of summer 2026. That means you can haul in one of Traeger’s cult-favorite pellet grills with most of its signature bells and whistles starting at $699.
Pellet grills are praised for delivering woodfire flavor and precise temperature control.
The new Westwood has 653 square inches of grilling space and sells for $699. The XL sports 823 square inches and will cost you $799 — still cheaper than any other large grill in the Traeger lineup. Until now, the cheapest full-sized Traegers, the Ridgewood series, started at $899.
The Westwood series builds on the advanced engineering and flavor-forward technology that Traeger has refined across its top-of-the-line grills, according to a press release shared with CNET, and fuses them into a grill designed for everyday cooking.
