The Wi-Fi wonder Traeger Pro 575
You could dig a pit, fill it with sticks and leave it smoking for two days to get smoky notes in your tofu steak. Or you could warm up Traeger’s clever pellet smoker via the WiFire app, adjust the heat, set a timer and check it from wherever. Less Bear Grylls, more flair grills.
