Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Traeger Ironwood 885 is the established large-capacity workhorse, with 885 square inches of cooking space and a 591-review Amazon base at 4.5 stars. The strongest signal here is high-trust: protoolreviews.com concluded the Ironwood delivered more than expected and made the cook look like a pitmaster, and bbqguys.com points to consistent temperatures across high and low settings via the D2 drive. Long-term r/Traeger owners report years of trouble-free use.

The consistent counterpoint, voiced bluntly in r/Traeger and r/pelletgrills threads, is smoke intensity: several owners say that without a smoke tube the 885 can feel 'basically an oven,' and one community member flatly notes Traeger calls it a grill, not a smoker, for a reason. Reviewers who use Super Smoke mode or a tube are far happier with the results.
The trust mix, a high-trust expert endorsement plus a large retailer sample and seasoned community owners, supports its place as the best large-capacity option, while the smoke caveat keeps it from topping the list.

I really like my 885. I've had zero issues with it. Would recommend it to anyone any day. Smoke rings still come out decently. Best all around ...
