The Pro 22 is a cost-effective pellet grill that offers exceptional value for its price. While it may not have the advanced features of the Gen 2 Pro Series, this Gen 1 model still has the capability to produce delicious smoked meats. Ideal for beginners in pellet grilling, the Pro 22 is a high-quality grill that does not compromise on taste and flavor despite its affordable cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pro 22 is a cost-effective pellet grill in the Pro Series offered by Traeger. It is considered a Gen 1 model, lacking some of the advanced features found in the Gen 2 models, but still offers a great value for its price. It has a 572 sq in cooking area, weighs 103 lbs and has dimensions of 41x49x27 inches. It also features 2 meat probes, an 18 lbs pellet hopper, and a temperature range of 180-500\u00b0F. It can be used to smoke a wide variety of meats and foods, but is not ideal for steaks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pro 22 can accommodate a normal-sized family’s needs, but if you need to cook for a crowd, consider upgrading to the Pro 34, which has 312 sq in more cooking area, weighs 33 lbs more, and is 9 inches wider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pro 22 is considered a bare-bones pellet grill, lacking features such as TurboTemp, D2 Drivetrain and a better sealed lid. It also does not have wifi connectivity or Traeger app integration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it still has a pellet-sensing technology, easy to use digital controller, side-lift bar, and EZ-drain grease system. It is a great choice for those just starting out with smoking and grilling, particularly if it’s on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
