Traeger sells four grills under the Woodridge name. They are the Woodridge, the Woodridge Pro, the Pro Plus and the Elite. It sells only two full-length covers for them. The BAC761 is the narrower one, made for the plain Woodridge, SKU TFB86MLH.
That split is where buyers go wrong. On Amazon, both covers share one listing and one star rating. A single style button separates them.
So this review asks two things. Which Woodridge does the BAC761 really fit? And on that one grill, does a $109.95 maker’s cover justify itself?

First Impressions of the Traeger Woodridge Cover
It is a gray polyester shell. A dark Traeger mountain logo sits on the raised hood section. In Traeger’s studio shots, the hood rises above a long, flat run over the side shelf. The fabric falls straight to just above the wheels.
The silhouette is the giveaway. It copies the Woodridge outline: a barrel at one end, a lower shelf at the other. A box cover could not do that without a lot of slack.
What you will not find is a zipper down the side. Traeger’s bigger Woodridge cover has one, and Traeger’s photos of it show the pull. This one is plain on every face.
Nor does Traeger show straps, buckles or a drawstring. The shape is meant to do the holding.
Key Features of the Traeger Woodridge Cover
Traeger’s page for this cover is short. Four claims survive close reading, plus one useful exclusion.
- Full-length drop. Traeger draws it at 46 in high, so it reaches down over the legs.
- Form-fitted, top to bottom. The hood and shelf sections are cut separately, not tented.
- Room for P.A.L. accessories. Traeger says the design accommodates Pop-And-Lock rail attachments.
- All-weather polyester. Rain, snow and sun are named. “Waterproof” is not, and that restraint matters.
- A clear no-fit list. Traeger says outright it is not for the Woodridge Pro or Woodridge Elite.
- BBQ Cover. This is Traeger’s own part, BAC761, for its own grill.
Fit and coverage
Here is the rule that settles the family question. The BAC761 fits one grill, the base Woodridge. Traeger’s sibling cover, BAC776, covers the Woodridge Pro, Pro Plus and Elite.
Both covers are 46 in tall and 23 in deep on Traeger’s drawings. The difference is width: 55 in here, 70 in on the sibling. The sibling also adds a side zipper. Traeger says it lets you store the side shelf up or down.
That zipper is the only feature the bigger cover has that this one lacks. On the plain Woodridge, Traeger did not think it needed one.
So check the badge, not the family name. If the lid says Woodridge and nothing else, this is your cover. If a second word follows, it is not. Our Traeger Woodridge review covers the grill itself.
Shoppers also ask about a Woodridge XL. Traeger’s own pages name no such model. If you think you own one, read the badge before ordering.
One wrinkle remains. Amazon lists the BAC761 at 52 by 28 in, against Traeger’s 55 by 23 in. Height agrees at 46 in. We cannot say which is right, so go by Traeger’s fit list.
Weather protection and durability
Traeger calls the fabric heavy duty, abrasion resistant polyester, rated against rain, snow and sun. Amazon’s copy adds UV to that list. What sits on the cloth, if anything, goes unsaid, and so does fade resistance.
No vent is listed either. A pellet grill covered while still warm can trap damp air. That is how a cookbox picks up spots under a cover that looks fine outside.
The cheaper Woodridge copies on the same Amazon page print a fabric weight in their titles. Traeger prints none. That proves nothing about which cloth lasts longer. The only guarantee on offer is the Traeger logo on the hood.
Durability leans on the cut too. Fabric that lies flat against the shelf scuffs less than slack fabric flapping in the wind. Traeger’s page names no warranty term and no hardware. So this column scores below the fit.
Handling, upkeep and value
Putting it on is simple if you start at the hood. Line the raised section up over the barrel, then let the rest fall over the shelf. The grill under it weighs 138 lbs, so it is not going anywhere.
There are no documented handles or tie downs. In a gusty yard, the fit alone keeps it in place. A cover sewn to one outline has less loose fabric for wind to grab, which helps. Let it dry before you fold it away.
Price is where the BAC761 is weakest. It runs around $109.95 on Amazon and $109.99 from Traeger direct. The larger BAC776 costs $119.99. Third-party Woodridge covers sit on the same page at $29.99 and $39.99.
Those copies name the BAC761 in their own titles, chasing exactly this buyer. They offer printed fabric specs for well under half the money. Traeger’s answer is an exact silhouette and its own name.
Possible Traeger Woodridge Cover Complaints
- Buying the wrong Woodridge cover. One Amazon listing holds both sizes, with one pooled rating. Click the wrong button and a Pro or Elite owner gets the narrow one. Check your grill’s badge, or its SKU, before you pay.
- A premium with thin paperwork. Traeger’s page leaves the fabric weight, vents, coating and cover warranty blank. If you shop by those numbers, the maker will not help.
