The Traeger Pro Series 22 is a solid starter pellet smoker for set-it-and-forget-it cooking, with enough capacity for a brisket, pork shoulders, ribs, or a lot of wings. The hopper can support up to 36 hours of smoking, it has four meat-probe ports, phone temperature notifications, and porcelain-over-cast-iron grates that are easier to clean. The main limitation is the lack of WiFi control and pellet-level monitoring, and there is no built-in searing option. It fits best as a first pellet smoker or a secondary cooker for longer sessions.
First-time pellet smoker cooks wanting a set-and-forget grill, because it handles brisket, pork shoulders, ribs, and wings with enough space for large sessions.
This model does not have WiFi or app-based remote control, so you cannot change the smoker temperature from your phone. It does support temperature notifications and meat-probe monitoring, and a separate WiFi thermometer like a Meater+ can add phone connectivity for monitoring.
It can handle a large brisket, a couple of big pork shoulders, several racks of ribs, or a lot of wings. It is also a good starter pellet smoker, but if it will be your main cooker for multiple meats at once, a larger model may be a better fit.
It does not monitor pellet levels, but the hopper holds enough pellets for up to 36 hours of smoking. That makes it practical for long cooks without worrying about running out mid-session.
It does not have a built-in sear function. If searing matters, you need another way to finish food over high heat, or a newer Traeger model with searing capability.
I used the larger model of this for years. Great smoker. Temp probe was close enough to my thermoworks. My only complaint is there is no way to sear on it. Not a biggie if you have another way. They fixed that with their newer models and added all the app functionality.
Is this good for a 1st pellet smoker? I'm well versed in smoking but this seem slick it would be easier then charcoal.
If you've already been smoking before, and just want to try pellet out - or want to "set it and forget," I'd say this will be a good starter. People claim that old Traegers last forever while some newer customers claim issues. I'm lucky enough not to have issues on my 3-4yr old one similar to this but larger and has wifi. The one I have is my first pellet smoker and before I use to (seldom) smoke with gas so I had an idea of the basics.
I'm glad I got the bigger one, though, as through the years I've had several occasions when my larger one was full. If you have another way to smoke for larger sessions, then get this one. If it will be your primary smoker, and there's a chance you'll be cooking 1 of each meat (brisket/pork/chicken/ribs) in one go, or 2+ of each, then I'd suggest a larger one.

The main limitation is the lack of WiFi control and pellet-level monitoring, and there is no built-in searing option. It fits best as a first pellet smoker or a secondary cooker for longer sessions.
The grill can hold enough pellets for up to about 36 hours of smoking, which reduces the chance of running out mid-session.
The smoker provides four temperature ports for meat probes and supports temperature adjustment with phone notifications.
The phone connection can send notifications when pellets are getting low during long smokes.
The pellet smoker can work well as a starter option for trying pellet cooking or using a set-and-forget approach.
The grill does not monitor pellet levels, so it cannot provide pellet-level visibility beyond notifications.
The grill lacks WiFi and cannot change the temperature via WiFi, which limits remote control features.
The grill does not provide a way to sear, so it may require a separate method for high-heat searing.
The non-WiFi setup may be a deal breaker for shoppers who want full app functionality and remote monitoring.
