Traeger debuts the Irontop, a more affordable gas-powered griddle

Overview

Traeger’s first non‑pellet grills debuted in 2023. Jumping into the griddle craze, the company introduced the Flatrock series in a three‑burner model — later adding the smaller, two‑burner option. Now Traeger is back with two new griddles, the two‑ and four‑burner Irontop, which actually offer more cooking area than their predecessors and come at a lower price point.

The Irontop models promise fast preheating, precise temperature control, edge‑to‑edge heating, and a durable construction. The cooking surface features a food‑safe, rust‑resistant coating that requires only “simple seasoning and care.” Traeger claims the consistent heating across the cooktop matches the performance of the higher‑priced Flatrock series. Integrated wind guards help maintain reliable heating in windy conditions.

Design & Features

• Cart and Mobility: Each griddle sits on a cart with four casters for easy movement.
• Storage: Two side shelves plus a larger shelf underneath provide space for accessories and tools.
• Accessory Compatibility: Side shelves can hold Traeger’s Pop‑And‑Lock accessories such as the storage bin and roll rack.
• Tool Hooks: Three hooks on each side of the shelves allow you to hang spatulas and other griddle tools.

Pricing & Availability

• Two‑burner Irontop: $500, available starting May 15.
• Four‑burner Irontop: $600, available starting May 15.

Traeger has also introduced two sizes of the new Westwood smart pellet grill, priced from $700, expanding its lineup of more affordable options.
