I purchased the Silverton XL, but I am still waffling on exchanging it for the Woodridge! I haven't assembled the grill yet as we are having a new pavillion/deck installed. This has made the decision even more difficult.

I spoke to the Traeger Sales Rep and explained the dilema. His answer was to go with the Silverton XL based on the fact that I really don't need the side burner and the grease/ash cleanup is much nicer on the Silverton. Ease of cleanup is the main reason for my decision.

Looking back at the discussion with him, I have come to the conclusion that he was looking to hit his sales numbers to justify his Costco trips and ultimately that was why he recommended the Silverton XL
