If money is no object on your quest to build the outdoor kitchen of your dreams, the Traeger Timberline XL is an excellent choice. You can use it either as a standalone pellet grill or build it into your outdoor counter space, letting you customize your outdoor kitchen layout to suit your needs. With the main cooking surface and dual warming shelves, you’ll get about 1,300 square inches of cooking space. The grill also features a rail that allows you to quickly and easily add or remove accessories like extra prep shelves, a butcher paper roll holder, or a storage bin. The left side of the grill features an induction cooktop for making sauces and side dishes, while Bluetooth meat probes let you instantly see internal temperatures for perfectly cooked briskets, steaks, and chicken every time.
The WiFi connectivity allows you to use Alexa, Hey Google, or the Traeger app to preheat the grill, set temperature and timer limits, and set reminders to check on your food. The pellet hopper can hold up to 22 pounds of fuel and has a built-in sensor that lets you know when you’re low on fuel. Keeping the Timberline XL clean is easy with the removable grease and ash keg, which lets you dispose of ashes, spent coals, and waste grease for better airflow and to prevent flare-ups during cooking. This pellet grill is backed by a 10-year warranty, so you can have peace of mind long after you bring the Timberline XL home.
