The Traeger has a thermocouple probe at the top right of the interior, helping it to monitor the temperature and holding it steady like an oven, while imparting a lovely smoky flavor.

With the Traeger, you flip the power switch, dial the temperature you want for the grill, set the desired temperature for the meat probe and press the ignite button.

Traeger’s model supports up to four probes (two wired, two wireless Meater versions), while Weber’s handles up to two wired probes. Traeger includes one probe; Weber packages two with the cooker.
