Traeger Ironwood XL Unboxing & Initial Thoughts | Chef Reactions

Disclaimer: Traeger sent me this stuff for free (thank you) BUT this is not a paid endorsement or advertisement. Just my initial REACTIONS (see what I did there) to a gifted Traeger Ironwood XL.
I wanted to upgrade my tailgater and they sent me this absolute UNIT instead. In this video, I unbox and set up the Traeger to show how easy it is. I added some pellets into the hopper to start up the smoker to let it prime. I'll follow up with a full use review as well as showing the cleaning process.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support. Can't believe this channel is getting close to 90K subscribers. It's very much appreciated and not lost on me. Don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe. It's cliche AF but it helps the channel grow!

Great customer service story. My Traeger Timberline XL started throwing a couple of error messages. I called customer service and they sent me a couple of parts. Installed the parts, and still had the errors. They sent me a new motherboard. Installed that and still had the errors. They sent me a new hopper assembly (which has the touch screen, all new wiring/motherboard). Installed that, still had the errors. So, after basically replacing everything but the frame, they sent me a new grill and set up a carrier to pick up the old grill. Grill arrived one week after they said they would send it. Assembled it and all is well. Considering how much the freakin' thing cost, I'm a happy camper.

Without the black gloves and leather apron, how am I supposed to take you seriously?? 😅 Great video Chef, can’t wait for part two 😊

[@nulref575]

I'm gonna be disappointed if you don't build the fort.

[@justjoolz97]

I love that you can change the pellets instead of waiting for them to burn down. I've also dumped my grease bucket a few times and stained my deck, love that upgrade😊❤

[@matthewpaul526]

I like driving stick, but I'll probably switch to an automatic with my next smoker. I'm getting too old for overnight brisket watches.

[@bridgetboyle687]

Fort! that is an awesome thing for a company to do.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

hahaha - the I dream of Jeannie reference cracked me up. Traeger def makes a decent product.

[@rosem633]

Traeger nation. I am my Traeger. Enjoy, Chef!!

[@katybeebe4284]

Rushed right over from TT! Nice to see you here!! I have two different Weber grills, charcoal and gas, next is a Trager and a Blackstone, like when the Powerball hits 😂

[@wandalovejoy4314]

I watch you on everything possible!

[@yakitoripapa]

Really awesome first impressions video and am looking forward to the follow up. Well, Traeger got what they wanted. I have been using a Traeger smoker in the same size for almost 10 years - maybe more. Now I realize that I need a new one. Thanks Traeger!

[@mailmanjack5720]

The mise en place reference let’s you know you’re a master craftsman

[@markivicic7194]

Super Smoke Load! Lol. I freaking love you, Bro!

[@joeburke5604]

Always enjoy your videos! 👍

[@D-Roncz]

Love the long form content!

[@Ihscout1961]

Nice! Glad to see you getting the hook up for your hard work!

[@austinadkins2426]

I love all your videos dude. It's like hearing a real person talk to you.

[@nasseramicspottery]

Dang, that’s a serious grill. If you have a glowing review in a few months, I’ll be getting one once we manage to secure a house.

[@marypeters1928]

Wow that looks nice!

[@Christine-Golden66]

Can’t wait to see what you smoke up Chef!

[@Wartortlenz]

Been following you for a while on TikTok so it only makes sense to check out your KZbin vids. Great video! Loved your visits to Disneyland/World as well, heading there next month and now know what food to smash or pass.

[@ceecee7879]

Thank you for the thank you but really thank YOU! so freakin entertaining and there is no way you did a I Dream of Jeannie 😮😂

[@brianmarkgriffin]

You're just the best.

[@tarab1546]

Looking forward to the update after you cook some stuff in it!

[@Matt-Carter]

Commenting for the algorithm gods.

[@lionjunkdrawer2386]

it looks amazing. the dropping out of the pellets seems like a very handy feature. My only concern is the smoke levels on the meats. I have heard that they dont produce a great smoke ring. Can't wait for the follow up vidjayo

[@ShamefulToaster]

Hell yea Traeger man now

[@GeorgeRevels]

Use a shop vac to clean hopper out

[@Spoiesbeware07]

very cool

[@ryancrand]

I love my Traeger. Are there more serious pellet grills out there? Of course.... go crazy if that is your thing. I just like loading up the Traeger with a pork shoulder or brisket at night and waking up to delicious smokes meats.

[@osfan25]

Support comment. Love the content

[@hempev]

Squirrel!

[@playboicarti.]

Hell yeah

[@graine12345]

How are you not gonna give us a sneak peak of you cooking some good ass bbq, fucking blue balling us over here

[@TheRealMrNixon]

Your fence looks about as good as ours.

[@chefreactions]

Mines worse probably - grandma got ripped off like 30 years ago, half the posts aren’t even cemented in

[@deadISgawd]

heh heh. hey beavis, he said "probe your meat" heh heh

[@WoahiFoundNemo]

She’s beautiful 🤩

[@nevernerevarine8071]

I would love to smoke stuff but I dont have the space or cash yet!

[@travismccartney5081]

Thoughts on their pellets?

[@carterscustomrods]

You wonderful son of a bith! I'm gonna stay envious. But I'd happily accept a cripple challenge on smoked meats*! (I only have 1 arm/leg, and a weber performer premium. But you can use the traeger and with arms.) *You gotta buy us the meats 😂

[@cierrablue]

Usually when brands f*** with smaller influencers they are sketchy brands. No sketch here!

[@codytriesstuff]

Jesus dude thing holds a full bag??? I didnt know traegers had minigun ammo like that

[@marin2435]

That’s like 3 grand worth of good shit! Yeah fuck those get a real grill guys. My tailgater allows me to clean out my property and get some delicious meats with minimal efforts.

[@noralewis6401]

Barbecue dorks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HunterReport]

[@RG-tm7uq]

$2,000 😮
