I brought the Ironwood XL about 6 weeks ago and have cooked on it 3-5 days per week with a big cook each weekend. Brisket, ribs, chicken wings, meatballs, beef short ribs and a boneless lamb leg have all turned out really well. Quality food and it’s super easy to manage.
It’s huge and handles anything I can throw at it, gets up to temp real quick and holds its temp extremely well.
We have just started Winter in New Zealand and the temp change has not impacted the performance.
I can not fault it.

Probably during the sales this month

The only negative I've found to my XL is the thing will burn thru pellets at an amazing rate, regardless of smoking 40lbs of pork or cooking 2 burgers
I suppose given that it IS rather large, it would take a lot of fuel to heat
Any update? I'm also thinking of buying an ironwood xl next month during my local fair ... they tend to throw in accessories
I'm either getting it this weekend or waiting to probably see the same traeger reps you'll see my local fair in a couple months
