These offerings are designed to bring the company's engineering and quality standards to a more accessible price point following the success of Traeger's premium [Flatrock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill) griddle from 2023. The Irontop Series features a rust-resistant and food-safe coating, as well as precision temperature control with even edge-to-edge heating across 504 square inches for the two-burner model and 648 square inches for the four-burner option. Traeger also installs integrated wind guards to maintain consistent temperatures in breezy conditions and rapid heat-up times for quick weekday cooking. Jeremy Andrus, CEO of [Traeger Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-grills-ironwood-885-wood-pellet-grill), shares: "Traeger's mission is about more than cooking; it's about creating memorable meals that bring more people together, in more backyards and around more tables. With Irontop, we're lowering the barrier to entry – not the bar – by infusing our innovations from Flatrock into a new class of griddles. It's about welcoming more people into the Traegerhood and expanding what's possible in their outdoor kitchens."
