Traeger has been making pellet grills in all different sizes with varying features for years. Some of the brand's most iconic models, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/traeger-ironwood-xl-review\/\">Ironwood<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/traeger-timberline-review\/\">Timberline<\/a>, can get pretty pricey. But if you're looking to get into outdoor smoking without breaking the bank, you can't go wrong with the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.traeger.com%2Fpellet-grills%2Fpro%2F575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traeger Pro 575<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAs a grilling enthusiast, I have put multiple Traegers to the test. Our Product Testing Team also recently reviewed four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-traeger-grills\/\">Traeger grills<\/a>, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pellet-grills\/\">best pellet grill<\/a> models from Pit Boss, Recteq, Weber and Yoder. Grilling expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/author\/catherine-ward\/\">Catherine Ward<\/a> led the charge. Throughout testing, she found the Traeger Pro 575 produces juicy meat with a user-friendly interface and easy cleanup. Here's why it's our best budget pick.\r\n<h2>What is the Traeger Pro 575?<\/h2>\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.traeger.com%2Fpellet-grills%2Fpro%2F575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traeger Pro 575<\/a> is part of Traeger's Pro lineup. Meant for backyards, decks and patios, it's a step up from the portable Traeger Tailgater. The grill is constructed from black, powder-coated steel for excellent durability. Like all other Traeger models, it has two stationary legs and two legs with large rolling casters for moving positions as needed.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2043587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHA24_Traeger-Pro-575_sheri-kaz_01_OTedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Traeger Pro 575 display\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe hopper is on the right-hand side of this grill and can hold up to 18 pounds of wood pellets. The small screen for temperature control and ignition is located on the front of the hopper. Once ignited, it can go up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. With 575 square inches of cooking space and two tiers, it's still plenty of space for feeding a crowd, whether you're stacking it full of burgers or smoking a brisket or pork shoulder. The other pellet grill in the Pro line-up, the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.traeger.com%2Fpellet-grills%2Fpro%2F780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traeger Pro 780<\/a>, offers the same design and features but with 780 square inches of cooking space.\r\n\r\nWhile cooking, the grill's WiFi capabilities connect to the Traeger app so you can keep an eye on what you're cooking or start the shutdown cycle.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Traeger Pro 575\" image=\"2042943\" image_credit=\"VIA MERCHANT\" pr_name=\"Traeger\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.traeger.com%2Fpellet-grills%2Fpro%2F575\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Traeger\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Traeger-Grills-TFB57GZEO-Smoker-Bronze\/dp\/B07T2FWL8Q?th=1\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_3_name=\"Ace Hardware\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/acehardware.dttq.net\/5gWkPb\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Ace Hardware\" retailers_4_name=\"BBQ Guys\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/bbqguys.sjv.io\/POj4Kz\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on BBQ Guys\" \/]\r\n<h2>How We Tested the Traeger Pro 575<\/h2>\r\nOur Product Testing Team received the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.traeger.com%2Fpellet-grills%2Fpro%2F575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traeger Pro 575<\/a> on a pallet and had to first assemble it. Following the user-friendly manual, it was easy enough to put together, though it required a lot of pieces and steps.\r\n\r\nWe then put the Traeger Pro 575 through a series of cooking tests to assess how well it performs. We smoked salmon at 190 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours, which resulted in a moist, smoky flavor and beautiful appearance. Two hours of smoking chicken breasts at 225 degrees Fahrenheit led to a beautiful mahogany color and great moisture. A pork shoulder cooked at 275 degrees was very juicy and moist with a nice red smoke ring. The pellet grill performed well at lower temperatures across all three tests.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2043588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHA24_Traeger-Pro-575_sheri-kaz_02_OTedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Pork shoulder\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n\r\nHowever, the Pro 575 didn't perform as well at higher temperatures. It took 30 minutes for the Traeger to get up to a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. And even at that heat, there was little to no searing and it produced pale-looking meat.\r\n\r\nWhen it was time to empty pellets from the hopper, it was simple to unscrew the fastener and allow the leftover pellets to empty into a container. This is particularly useful if you like to pair specific pellets with different foods. The team found the clean-out process of this Traeger model was easier in comparison to other models. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/traeger-grill-accessories\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Traeger accessories<\/a>, like the Traeger grill cleaner spray, make the process even simpler.\r\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Approachable price point<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Easy to assemble<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Simple to clean compared to other models<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Delicious food results, especially at lower temperatures<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Smaller control screen<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Not ideal for searing and high-temp cooking<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\r\n<h3>How do you start a Traeger Pro 575?<\/h3>\r\nWith the pellet hopper filled and the power switch flipped to on, turn the temperature dial. When the desired temperature reads on the screen, press ignite to begin the preheating process.\r\n<h3>Does the Traeger Pro 575 have Super Smoke?<\/h3>\r\nWhile foods cooked on a Traeger are smoke-kissed, some models have a Super Smoke function that infuses even more smoke at a lower temperature for a stronger flavor. However, the Traeger Pro 575 doesn't have that function. \"Pellets will never be as smoky tasting as real hardwood,\" says testing lead Catherine Ward. She suggests placing a smoke box (a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/gifts-for-the-griller\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gift for grillers<\/a>!) inside the grill if you want a more robust flavor.\r\n<h2>Why You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\nThe Traeger Pro 575 was put to the test by the<em> Taste Recipes<\/em> Product Testing Team alongside 10 other pellet grill models. Each pellet grill was thoroughly evaluated for ease of assembly, cooking performance, design, special features and ease of cleaning. To ensure readers get the most bang for their buck, we also evaluated popular brands side by side, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/traeger-vs-recteq\/\">Traeger vs. Recteq<\/a>.\r\n\r\nI am a writer specializing in food and lifestyle, with a specific passion for outdoor cooking and grilling. While I love to keep my eye on the latest food trends and kitchen gadgets, I focus on established products so I can recommend items that are worth the investment and that will last, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-outdoor-pizza-ovens\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pizza ovens<\/a>, fire pits, grills and smokers.
