The Traeger Pro Series 22 is a full-size barrel pellet grill for people who want to smoke and roast with wood flavour while a controller handles the fire. It suits weekend cooks who like long, low cooks of pork shoulder or brisket but do not want to tend charcoal. The confirmed headline is space: Amazon lists 3,690 cm² of cooking area, the largest among the pellet grills in this guide.

In its favour
- A 3,690 cm² cooking area is the largest of the pellet grills in this guide.
- At 57.2 kg the heavier barrel body should hold heat better on cool evenings.
- A built-in display controller sets and shows the cooking temperature.
Good to know
- The listing does not state hopper size or temperature range, so check Traeger's sheet.
- A full-size barrel grill needs a mains socket and a sheltered spot nearby.
Our take
How a pellet grill works
In a pellet grill, wood pellets are stored in a hopper and fed into a fire pot, where they burn to produce heat and smoke. A controller adjusts the feed to hold the temperature you set. The result is wood-fired flavour with much less effort than an offset smoker. Because it runs a feed motor and controller, a pellet grill needs a mains socket within reach.
On the Pro Series 22, the only feature named in the bullet points is a built-in display, which shows the set and actual temperature.
What the listing leaves out
The listing is thin: model TFB57PUBE, pellet fuel, 57.2 kg, a barrel form and the 3,690 cm² area. It does not state the hopper capacity, the temperature range, the grate material or the controller's features. Those are the figures that decide how long a cook can run unattended and whether it can sear, so check Traeger's own spec sheet.
Space, power and placement
At 57.2 kg in a barrel shape, this is a grill to place on a level patio near an outdoor socket, ideally in a spot sheltered from heavy rain. Pellets need to stay dry, so plan storage for bags of fuel too.
A barrel of this size will handle a family brisket, several racks of ribs or a couple of whole chickens.
Traeger Pro 22 against the other pellet grills
The Weber Searwood is another full-size pellet grill, heavier at 72.5 kg and listed with Weber Connect technology for app use. The Traeger Ranger is a tabletop pellet grill with a cast iron griddle and meat probe, far smaller but portable. The Pit Boss 10697 tabletop states its 180 to 500°F range and 5 lb hopper clearly.
Verdict
The Traeger Pro Series 22 suits households that want a big pellet barrel for regular smoking and are happy to confirm hopper and temperature details from Traeger. If app control is high on your list, consider the Weber Searwood, and if you need something portable for a small garden or trips away, the Traeger Ranger is the compact choice.
