Great smoker for anyone!

I love my 24" smoke vault! My wife bought this as a present 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The multiple trays allow for A LOT of food at once. It easily fits 2 large turkeys or 2 large briskets (you could fit 3, but 2 would be better). I do have the cover and use an external probe to monitor ambient air. The only reason I rated 4 of 5 is the door. I would like to see a split door so you can address the fire or wood chunks & chips without losing heat in the main chamber.

9lb pork shoulder. you can see the multiple trays.

Take back your weekends!

I cut my teeth on a traditional charcoal offset. While the food came out great, the babysitting was a lot of work. I love how this unit is basically set it and forget it. If you can get an a-maze-n pellet holder and stick it in there, you don't even have to mess with the wood chips. Thank you Camp Chef for giving me back my Saturdays!

Camp Chief 24

I have had the CC 24 for 4 years plus. It works great; but I had to order a new front door temp thermometer and also the water pan; temp gauge came it broke and the water pan had chips to the metal with rust. Customer service was great! But now now this smoker had rusted through the bottom to include the drip pan; the cover rotted away a long time ago. When I got this smoker brand new; I had to install wood burner insulation around the door to help seal in the smoke. I am ordering a new smoker, but not this one....

Longevity? Check!

This is my TENTH year cooking on the same unit (18"). I want to upgrade to the 24", but I still feel I have many miles on this smoker. How many grills, smokers, etc. are still going after 10 years? And the ignition switch still works, which is just incredible! I live in Northern MN and have smoked from 90 above to 20 below--this thing just gets the job done, period. A+ product.

Doesn't Hold Temp

Mine does not hold a constant temp. I continually have to adjust the temp up and down. The temp knob has lots of play in it so try to hold at 225 is not possible. VERY DISAPPOINTED! I contacted customer service and the rep told me they are having issues with this model- that many people have called and said the same thing. What's the point of low and slow if you hold a constant temp? I'm using a Thermoworks temp probe which I've calibrated with my kitchen oven.

Yes planning on replacing my other smoker as they go bad

The new 24in smoker I just got three weeks ago is such a great smoker. I have two of the Mastercheif 24in smokers also. This smoker here I just got out preforms them 100 percent

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.

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
