Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Pellet Grill On Cart - Stainless - PG24S

So it's been 2 months and I've been smoking like a mad Man. This was a replacement for an Oklahoma Joe's longhorn. I always smoked with pure oak and it was very difficult to control the temperature. This smoker is ridiculously simple. I've done pulled pork, homemade pastrami, ribs, and brisket. I was also very pleasantly surprised about the Wi-Fi and wireless. I was able to check the temperatures when I had to go out somewhere just in case. This is for a long smoke on a brisket is pretty handy. I also purchased the sides seer which include a ridiculously large BTU burner. That burner has been phenomenal for searing sous vide steaks in under a minute. One thing I did not initially buy was the griddle, but I ordered that and with the sides here burner it is one of the handiest griddles I've ever used, best temperature control over the whole area. I have a high-end gas stove in the house and it's griddle doesn't come close to how good the temperature control is. My one recommendation is somehow that I don't have to throw away that shelf and use it or mount it at the bottom. You can see that I made my own modification to put that shelf instead of throwing it away to mount on the bottom.

This is my first pellet grill, having enjoyed friends' barrel smokers for year. This is an excellent entry level grill and I've had great results with everything I've smoked. Brisket, tri-tip, ribs, wings, cheese, vegetable and even chicken breast. With the correct pellets it's difficult to mess this up. I live in the tropics and during vacation had pellets sitting in the hopper for around 4-5 weeks. It lit immediately and held temperature once it got to where I'd set it. I only ever use smoke setting 10 as this still isn't incredibly smokey but works well for my purposes. Highly recommended.

Received my DLX 24 today. Neither front leg fit correctly. Wheeled leg would not fit into slot (had to use wood block and hammer to get leg installed), Left front leg screw holes don't line up. Lid deflector was bent as was the side table. Was able to straighten tab on table enough to get it installed. I'll do initial burn tomorrow. More reviews to follow

I ordered a New Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Pellet Grill through BBQGUYS that shipped directly from Camp Chef's Distribution Center. When FedEx delivered the grill today, I didn't see any external damage to the box. I was very relieved since, my last (4) major purchases delivered through FedEx have been damaged. NOT GOOD! Unfortunately, when I unboxed the grill, there was some internal damage to the grill body. I suspect it may have occurred from parts inside the grill shifting around during handling/shipping. Camp Chef does a great job of packaging their grills but, nothing is bulletproof when it comes to FedEx. Anyway, I didn't want to return the grill because I was sure FedEx would find a way to destroy or damage a replacement grill. So, I contacted BBQGUYS Customer Support and spoke with Dana. I was blown away with how quickly and professionally Dana handled the situation to my satisfaction. I can't say enough good things about Dana and BBQGUYS. They're truly the BEST and I will be a customer for life! Thank you!

When we first got it worked great. Then an electrical smell and black smoke rolled. Contacted customer service repeatedly and emailed pictures. Was told warranty was expired. I understood that, no further help. In the market for a new one.

I've been using my DLX for about a year. It does a fine job smoking, but it has a few idiosyncrasies. As noted in some other reviews, it flames out here and there. Also, I've noticed some fine ash in the smoking chamber (even upon initial use). The main issue I have is with the ash cleanout knob -- it is stuck after every use. I read the FAQ and it said this will clear up after the shipping coating burns off, but it has not. I have to remove the grates and drip tray after each use and tap the cleanout plate with a mallet to loosen it. Then the knob haltingly works. Because of this, I clean my grates and drip tray after every use and they are clean as a whistle, but it is a pain in the neck. Maybe CampChef should include a nice custom mallet with this model of smoker.

I've had my DLX for three years now and I love it. Everything I cook on it turns out great. The only change I would make… is that I would put the wheels under the pellet box where they belong.

This is my first pellet grill. I came over from an old barrel type grill. This thing is everything I could have asked for. Easy to use. Convenient. I was originally planning on purchasing the WW24, but didn't want to commit that much money to something I may not love. The DLX is perfect for a guy like me who likes to eat and not spend all day watching/managing a fire. While I'm really happy with my DLX24, it's not perfect. There is the dreaded "funnel of death" where the pellets create a funnel and after a bit they stop feeding into the auger. I'm also used to a more pronounced smoke flavor. The pellets provide a less intense, more nuanced smoke flavor. I've added a smoke tube to my arsenal for a stronger smoke. I've only used it once, but it seems to have done the job. Overall, super happy with my purchase and would recommend to someone looking for a pellet grill.

I just bought my DLX and it arrive earlier this week. I went to start it up for the first time and it stops smoking after about 10 min. It looks at first glance like the auger is not working. Please help!

I purchased a SmokePro DLX 24 Pellet grill exactly 2 years ago. I've had a Treager in the past so I was excited to give this a try. Unfortunately it really missed the mark. The 1st grill I received came dented and some pieces broken. Camp chef customer service sent me replacement parts rather than a new grill. SO I replaced all the parts and used it for part of the summer but it never performed and had issue with "flame out" and sometimes the entire grill would catch fire. After a long back and forth they sent me a replacement grill which worked well for a bit but after about 3 months the same issues happened; "flame out", broken auger, replaced electronics, temp never getting above 250 degrees, etc. I've been meticulous in how I use my grills and clean them every other use along with using ONLY camp chef pellets and covering always when not in use. I'm really disappointed as I've seen several great reviews and been told Camp Chef makes great grills. Maybe it's this model or maybe I was so unfortunate to get 2 lemons. Either way buyer beware.
