The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Traeger Pro 780 is the established, app-connected mainstream choice, with 780 square inches of space and a 382-review, 4.6-star Amazon base. High-trust r/smoking owners describe loving the convenience of setting a temperature and walking away, and r/grilling commenters note it can climb toward high temps quickly for searing with the right setup. WiFi and app control are the headline draw and are broadly described as working well.

What reviewers liked

  • Large 382-review Amazon base at 4.6 with strong app/WiFi convenience praise
  • High-trust r/smoking owners value set-and-forget operation
  • Can reach searing temps quickly per r/grilling owners

Where it falls short

  • High-trust threads note light smoke and no Super Smoke mode
  • Hopper capacity (~18 lb) prompted one owner to upgrade after running out mid-cook
  • Smoke tube often recommended for long low-and-slow cooks

Across the reviews

Synthesis · not our verdict

Across the reviewers we read, the Traeger Pro 780 is the established, app-connected mainstream choice, with 780 square inches of space and a 382-review, 4.6-star Amazon base. High-trust r/smoking owners describe loving the convenience of setting a temperature and walking away, and r/grilling commenters note it can climb toward high temps quickly for searing with the right setup. WiFi and app control are the headline draw and are broadly described as working well.

The honest knocks are well documented in high-trust threads. r/Traeger and r/pelletgrills owners report the Pro 780 does not generate much smoke and lacks Super Smoke mode, so a smoke tube is recommended for long cooks, and one r/pelletgrills owner switched to a larger-hopper grill after running out of fuel mid-cook on the 780's roughly 18 lb hopper.

The trust mix, a solid retailer sample plus high-trust community endorsement of convenience, supports the WiFi pick, while the smoke and hopper caveats keep it mid-pack rather than near the top.

The 780 doesn't generate a ton of smoke and it doesn't have "super smoke". When doing long low and slow cooks I had to use a smoke tube. The ...
Supportingvia r/Traeger
I bought one. It gets the job done. Hopper only holds 18 lbs. I got a Recteq 1100 2 weeks later after running out of fuel mid cook one day.
