Papaw Johnson City Tn | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Papaw's reviewi purchased this smoker from bbq guys dec 2020. my first cook was 8 slabs spare ribs and they turned out excellent . Unfortunately i lost it when my home burned april 2022 . Once i got my insurance settlement i will be purchasing this same camp chef model again. had over 50 cooks and all were flawless . if your a senior citizen like me and mobility is a question then this is the smoker for you . It will make a pro out of any grandpa. i cooked ribs , butts,brisket,pork loins, beer can chickens, thighs legs,quarters , all to perfection . only drawback is just not be scared to get a little grease on top of your head when cleaning. i also have 2 weber kettles and a 22in weber smokey mountain cooker all purchased from bbq guys. You cant go wrong when you purchase from these guys!!! | Was This Helpful? |
Cameron B Arkansas Verified Reviewer | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 It Was Worth The Wait!Camp Chef really knocked this one out of the park. A good strong construction and the manuel to assemble was very easy to read. This will hold alot of food. I haven't been a fan of P.I.D. controllers until now. P.I.D. controllers are normally so efficient at holding correct temps that they put out very little smoke. Camp chef thought of that and incorporared a smoke level setting that you can adjust according to how much smoke you want. Higher the smoke setting the more radical your temps swings will be. Great smoke output, the temperature swings are very minimal compared to other pellet smokers I have used. Using the smoker for the past few months I have pretty much only used the low smoke and high smoke settings. The low smoke is perfect for jerky staying at Temps between 180 and 150 depending on the weather and how much the vent on the side is open. I find having the vent closed as far as it will go keeps the low smoke at a steady pace. The high smoke has made really good pork loin and pork butts. I even used the smoker to reverse sear some steaks smoking them in the smoker and searing on the grill. The ash cleanout is a big plus as you dont have to vacuum it out after every cook just pull the lever on the side and the ashes fall out. I am very pleased with this smoker and I like it so much I am considering selling my pellet grill and getting my hands on one of those woodwind pellet grills. The trays are of good construction and are easy to clean. The Camp Chef app is awesome as I can go into town and do whatever I need to and the app still shows what temp your smoker or temp probes are at. Overall I am very pleased with the XXL and I believe if you are looking for a vertical the XXL should be your top pick. | Was This Helpful? |

Lovegolf Florida Verified Purchaser | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Keeps Consistent Temperature!Great smoker that can hold a lot of meat. Especially love the PID thermometer controller, it's super accurate at keeping the smoker at the right temp within +/- 2-3 degrees Fahrenheit and we all know how important that is. The WiFi feature is nice but the Bluetooth phone interface loses connection and you have to pair with your phone often if you're farther than 25' or so. Not sure if that can be fixed via an app update or not. If you're not looking for a grill type smoker, this is the way to go especially if you want to smoke several pieces of meat at the same time. Only con is it's somewhat cumbersome to clean the inside. I had grease building up on the bottom of the smoker and had to scrap it out using a putty knife. The grease tray doesn't seem to catch it all and drip it into the bucket. Not sure if if you can spray the inside with a hose/power washer because there's not really any way to get rid of the water other than through the burner pull out hole where the pull our rod is. Definitely recommend if you're a seriously into smoking meats. | Was This Helpful? |

When you think of the Camp Chef XXL WiFi vertical pellet smoker, think of a feature-friendly smoking experience that’s kind to the wallet without sacrificing on results.
If you’re looking for an Entry-Level class pellet smoker that delivers on outstanding features, we feel this wireless pellet smoker is a solid choice. It really isn’t hard to see why: it offers convenient temperature regulation options, even heating across all those stainless steel racks, and a whole assortment of design details that keep cleanings simple and smoke-outs even simpler. For customers whose budget is backed up against the ropes, Camp Chef has built a winner with a few surprises inside.
Quality:
With good construction and protective packaging, Camp Chef took no major shortcuts when it comes to quality.
The Camp Chef XXL Wi-Fi vertical pellet smoker features a single-layer cabinet built from stainless steel, that metallic champion of outdoor living construction. When it came time to determine build quality, Grill Master Randy clocked the door and walls at 18-gauge stainless steel, whereas the drip tray landed at a solid 16-gauge, and the baffle at a reasonable 14-gauge. These kinds of thicknesses aren’t out of the ordinary for a smoker at this price range, and we were happy to hear no compromises happened here.
-
All 4 stainless steel meat racks measured 3.2 millimeters thick apiece — stretching 21.5 inches wide by 14 inches deep, this model offers over 2,400 square inches of serious smoking real estate. That’s a lot of room to pack full of brisket, sausage, bacon, and any other meat you can get your hands on. One thing caught Randy’s attention, however: the single-layer cabinet wasn’t quite enough for touch-safe insulation. You’ll probably want to keep those fingertips to yourself while it’s hard at work, funneling trays of delicious jerky your way.eaking of the cooking grids, a very pleased Chef Tony measured them at 8mm thick with — you might want to hold your breath for this one — 304-grade stainless steel. Of similar quality were the flame tamers: 19-gauge, 304-grade, and packed nice and tight with ceramic briquettes. Naturally, these briquettes are an excellent choice for absorbing, retaining, and slowly dispersing heat across the entire cooking area; even before fingertips touched a burner, we were excited to see how this machine performed.
Another great perk for homeowners? Shipping quality. Every single piece was well-packed in the box, wrapped with thick cardboard or Styrofoam. Maybe don’t push the box down a flight of concrete stairs, but we’re confident it’d take some real rough handling to damage the components. Once unpacked, assembly took Randy just under an hour from start to finish. He did comment that he thought the manual could’ve been a little clearer for at-home customers — especially on the parts labeling — but he found it neither a long nor difficult process.
Performance:
This smoker shows excellent temperature consistency and smoke output for its class, though cooldown lasted longer than expected.
-
If there’s anything Grill Master Randy loves more than getting his hands on a new grill or smoker, it’s cooking with it. As an appetizer, he heated it up for some preliminary testing. With thermocouples on each rack, Grill Master Randy was pleased to note a 5-degree temperature difference from the smoker’s average — on an Entry-Level smoker, that’s higher consistency than we anticipated.
Seeing as Camp Chef suggests a range of 140–350 degrees Fahrenheit for this unit, Randy wasted no time putting it through its paces. (“Right on the money,” he told us.) Of course, anything can get hot quickly with the right motivation, but simmering down can be the tougher trick. He raised an eyebrow at the unit’s cooling time; the Camp Chef XXL took a surprising 37 minutes to brush off the heat, despite its single-wall construction.
For a low-and-slow cook over 11 hours, our pit master smoked 3 briskets at 10–12 pounds apiece, 2 slabs of baby back ribs, and 2 big sheets of wild-game jerky. As expected, the Camp Chef XXL WiFi Vertical Pellet Smoker performed admirably: not only did it keep the chosen temperatures stable, but it gave great smoke output. One long smoke later, that meant delicious, finger-lickingly smoky flavors.
Features:
We can’t decide what’s more impressive: the inclusion of a WiFi PID controller, or the sheer amount of features.
Features are where this vertical pellet smoker really shines. Every inch of the interior is all about making your meat taste as magnificent as possible — no matter how much of it you have at once. That’s the kind of approach you can take when your smoker includes 4 stainless steel racks, 3 jerky racks, and a hanging rack. We found a dozen hanging hooks supplied with the smoker, plus a branded grease bucket and easy-use ash cup; a bottle opener is attached to the side, along with a convenient built-in towel bar. All 4 wheels boast locking casters for confident placement.
But all that’s only part of the picture. The pull-out pellet chute, for example, allows you to swap wood pellet flavors in a pinch. Concerning temperature regulation, the XXL ships with 2 temperature probes, and Camp Chef was kind enough to add a pair of probe entry ports in the side wall. That means fewer reasons to pop open the door and release smoke or heat, especially after the smoker worked so hard to wrap your meats with a flavorful vacuum. Additionally, a viewing window is fitted onto the pellet hopper so you can always monitor your fuel levels.
All that being said, the standout here might be the WiFi PID controller. Typically, this feature isn’t a given below the Practical class of barbecue smokers; finding one on an Entry-Level pellet smoker really impressed our grill master. It integrates with the Camp Chef Connect app, offering great control from the same wireless network. And, as those operational tests proved, the standard 5-degree error margin held strong even during a long smoking session. Camp Chef clearly set out to deliver a smoker with all the trimmings at an economic price point. Setting aside small nitpicks, they clearly succeeded — and Grill Master Randy comfortably gave the unit his “Better” smoker rating.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
