What our Experts Think

• Balanced large-capacity grilling (ideal “do-everything” size)
  The Ironwood Large (TFB61RLG) sits between compact and XL models, offering enough space for family cooks, weekend BBQs, and multi-item smoking without feeling oversized.
• True wood-fired versatility (smoke, roast, bake, grill)
  Wide temperature range (~165°F to 500°F) lets you handle low-and-slow brisket or higher-heat grilling on a single unit—one of its biggest selling points.
• Smart WiFIRE control (remote cooking convenience)
  Built-in WiFi + app control lets you monitor temperatures, adjust settings, and track cooks from your phone—reducing the need to constantly check the grill.
• Super Smoke Mode (enhanced BBQ flavor)
  Adds extra smoke output at lower temps for deeper wood-fired flavor—especially valuable for ribs, brisket, and pulled pork.
• Consistent heat performance (dual-wall insulation)
  Insulated body design helps stabilize internal temperatures and reduce outside weather impact during long cooks.
• Easy cleanup system (low maintenance advantage)
  Grease and ash management system collects waste in a removable container, making post-cook cleanup faster and cleaner.
• Practical cooking layout (efficient space use)
  Multi-tier cooking grates and smart internal design maximize usable cooking area without increasing overall footprint.
• Built for serious everyday use (not just occasional grilling)
  Designed as a long-term backyard staple with strong build weight and consistent performance for frequent smoking and grilling.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean grates after every cook – scrape while warm to prevent buildup and preserve flavor quality.
• Empty grease & ash system regularly – avoids flare-ups and keeps airflow stable.
• Vacuum firepot every 2–3 cooks – ensures reliable ignition and steady temperature control.
• Clean hopper monthly – remove sawdust to prevent auger jams and temperature drops.
• Avoid moisture in pellets – store in a dry, sealed container for consistent burn performance.
• Wipe interior (cool only) with mild degreaser – removes carbon buildup without damaging coating.
• Check drip tray & heat baffle regularly – prevents grease pooling and uneven heat distribution.
• Keep exterior covered & dry – protects electronics and powder-coated finish from weather damage.
