Just last week, Traeger (the inventor and global leader of wood-pellet grilling) dropped a new series, the Westwood grill collection. This all-new grill lineup is designed to be a new entry-level grill engineered with the brand’s most advanced models, ideal for everyday cooking. The newly launched Westwood Series brings the real flavor of hardwood grilling to any dish, requiring only three steps to master cooking (no matter who you are).

The Westwood grilling collection includes two models/sizes, designed to accommodate the needs of different households. The smaller option is the classic Westwood with a cooking area of 653 sq. inches ($699). For a larger grilling area, home cooks can opt for the Westwood XL which brings 823 sq. inches of cooking space ($799). Whether it’s chicken or smoked ribs or even baked pizza, the idea behind this series is to have to do only three tasks to grill stellar food: Set the temperature, load the grill, and let the grill do the hard work.

Both models include WiFIRE with Bluetooth connection to allow you to monitor and control your grill right from the Traeger App on your phone. Integrated shelves and storage also allow for a easy cooking experience, keeping tools, ingredients, and pellets nearby and within reach at all times.

“Traeger has always inspired people to gather, connect, and create unforgettable flavor,” said Jeremy Andrus, CEO of Traeger Grills. “With the Westwood Series, we’re advancing that legacy by bringing top‑of‑the‑line Traeger technology into a new entry‑level grill. Westwood is built with the same proven innovation that powers our premium models, giving cooks the confidence to deliver incredible meals from their very first cook.”

Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
