Traeger Woodridge Pro, Pro Plus and Elite Grill Cover Review

7.3 out of 10
Avid Griller Score

The average across all 37 grill covers we have rated is 7.7.

Two of the three grills it fits have the shelf its zipper was made for. On a Pro or Pro Plus, that zipper is the honest reason to pay Traeger’s price.

Traeger sells one cover for three of its bigger Woodridge grills. The BAC776 fit list reads Woodridge Pro, Pro Plus and Elite. What sets it apart from Traeger’s other Woodridge cover is a side zipper.

The pitch for that zipper is simple: leave your side shelf up or down. The Pro and Pro Plus both carry a folding shelf, rated to 50 lbs. The Elite does not. Its parts list puts an electric side burner in that spot instead.

So this review asks a plain question. Is one cover really cut for three different grills? And what does the zipper earn on each of them?

First Impressions of the Traeger Woodridge Pro Cover

Out of the box, expect gray cloth and a dark mountain logo printed across the hood. Traeger photographs it on a long grill. A tall hood section rises between two lower runs.

The detail that catches the eye is the zipper. Traeger shows the cover twice from the front, once zipped and once open. Seen open, it reads as the one break in an otherwise closed shell.

The effect is closer to tailoring than to a sack. The fabric drops close to the wheels on every face. Amazon lists it at 6.1 lbs. The grills under it weigh 174 lbs or more.

What you will not see is a strap, a buckle or a vent. Traeger documents none of them.

Key Features of the Traeger Woodridge Pro Cover

Traeger’s page for the BAC776 is brief. These are the claims it actually makes, and one it makes twice.

  • One cut, three grills. Traeger names the Woodridge Pro, Pro Plus and Elite, and calls the list complete.
  • An additional side zipper. Traeger ties it to the side shelf in its bullets and to the P.A.L. rail in its description.
  • Form-fitted top to bottom. Each section follows the grill’s outline instead of draping loose.
  • All-weather polyester. Rain, snow and sun are named. Waterproof is not.
  • A 70 in span. Traeger’s own drawing puts it at 70 in wide, 46 in high and 23 in deep.
  • BBQ Cover. Bought from the company that built the grill, direct or through Amazon.

Fit and coverage

The three grills are not alike at the zipper end. Start with the Pro: a folding side shelf, plus an open shelf below the barrel. The Pro Plus keeps the folding shelf and swaps the bottom shelf for a cabinet. The Elite has a cabinet too, but an electric side burner replaces the shelf.

That makes the headline feature a promise to two owners out of three. On a Pro or Pro Plus, the shelf can stay up under the cover. On an Elite, there is no shelf to leave up.

Width is the one place we can check fit on paper. Traeger draws the Elite at 67 in across, against 70 in for the cover. Traeger prints no matching figure for the Pro or Pro Plus. Their fit rests on the list alone.

Amazon trims the list. Its title and bullets name the Pro and Elite only. Traeger’s page and drawing both add the Pro Plus. The grill gets its own verdict in our Woodridge Pro Plus review.

If you own the plain Woodridge, Traeger points you to the 55 in BAC761 instead.

Weather protection and durability

Traeger’s weather list runs to rain, snow and sun. Amazon’s copy adds wind. The cloth itself is described only as tough polyester that resists scuffing. Neither source names a coating, a fade rating or a fabric weight.

No vent is listed. Throw it over a firepot that has not fully cooled, and moisture has nowhere to go. The Elite manual also says to cover its side burner only once cool.

The zipper adds a moving part to a cover that otherwise has none. Traeger says nothing about how it is made, so we cannot say how it ages.

Two ratings pull in opposite directions. Traeger’s own site shows about 3.3 of 5 from 31 reviews. Amazon shows 4.7 of 5 from 113, but on a listing shared with the BAC761. Neither proves how this fabric lasts, and Traeger publishes no cover warranty term to settle it.

Handling, upkeep and value

On a Pro or Pro Plus, the zipper is the handling feature. You need not fold the shelf down before covering, then lift it again before cooking. That small chore adds up across a season.

Nothing else helps you handle it. Look for grab loops or tie downs and Traeger’s page offers neither. The fitted cut and the grill’s own bulk do the holding. Start at the hood and draw the shell back toward each end.

Expect to pay around $119.95 at Amazon, or $119.99 buying from Traeger. The base Woodridge cover costs $109.99 direct. Copies built for the Woodridge Pro cost $37.99 and $49.99, listed right beside it. The pricier one advertises buckle straps and handles that Traeger does not.

So the premium buys an exact silhouette and the zipper. For an Elite owner, it buys the silhouette alone.

Possible Traeger Woodridge Pro Cover Complaints

  • A zipper sold to an Elite with no shelf. Traeger lists the Elite, yet its headline feature serves a folding shelf. The Elite owner gets the cut, not the convenience. Check your grill’s side before you count the zipper as a reason to buy.
  • Thin paperwork for the money. Fabric weight, coating, vents and warranty are all blank. Traeger’s own shoppers rate it about 3.3 of 5, well below Amazon’s pooled figure.

The verdict

How we scored the Traeger Woodridge Pro, Pro Plus and Elite Grill Cover

Five cover categories, each with a fixed weight, applied the same way to every cover. Scored under Avid Griller Scoring System 2.2.

  1. Fit Strongest 25% of the score
    8.2

    Cut for three named Woodridge bodies, 70 in across a 67 in Elite; the shelf zipper serves only the Pro and Pro Plus.

  2. Weather Protection 25% of the score
    6.8

    All-weather polyester is the whole claim: no coating, no fade figure and no vent are named for a cover sitting over a pellet grill.

  3. Durability 20% of the score
    7.1

    Heavy duty polyester of unstated weight, no documented straps, no cover warranty term, and Traeger's own shoppers rate it about 3.3 of 5.

  4. Ease of Use 15% of the score
    7.8

    The zipper spares Pro and Pro Plus owners folding the shelf first, but nothing documented helps you lift or anchor it.

  5. Value Weakest 15% of the score
    6.6

    Around $119.95 against Woodridge Pro copies at $37.99 and $49.99; the exact cut and the zipper are what the premium buys.

Best for

  • The Woodridge Pro owner who folds the shelfYour shelf goes up to cook and down to park. This cover is cut to take either.
  • The Pro Plus owner Amazon forgotThe listing names only the Pro and Elite. Traeger's own fit list includes your cabinet model.
  • The Elite owner who wants the matching partTraeger lists the Elite by name. You pay for a shelf zipper you will not use.

Skip it if

  • You own the plain WoodridgeThat grill takes the narrower BAC761. This one would hang loose across the width.
  • You want the fabric spelled outNo fabric weight, coating, vent or warranty term is published. Cheaper copies print more.

Bottom line

Two of the three grills it fits have the shelf its zipper was made for. On a Pro or Pro Plus, that zipper is the honest reason to pay Traeger’s price.

On an Elite, the BAC776 is a well cut shell at a maker’s premium. Little more is promised.
