Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36-Inch Pellet Grill - PG36WWSB

I bought this last September although it was damaged in shipping and was replaced in November

This is my third grill. These are the best you can buy

With the addition of the pullout wood chip tray, you can get that real woodsmoke flavor that no other pellet smokers on the market offer. Had a Traeger before this and honestly I don't see what all the hype's about. - I really like the 6 individual heat probe indicators. Think that's a great idea. However, they all seem to start giving inaccurate readings after a time. Some of them fluctuate wildly in the readings they give you. Even after adjusting them. They just feel cheap. - Metal thickness. Very lacking. I would gladly pay extra money for thicker steel. This is a very flimsy unit with that lovely made in China feel. If you're going to put that handmade TLC into making the wood chip pullout tray, maybe you should put it into the rest of the unit as well? Id pay for it. - Hot spots. Again the metal flimsiness probably has a lot to do with this. I always smoke my meat on the second level, as to not be so close to the heat source/smokebox. I've noticed that even though I have whatever I'm smoking slightly elevated away from the heat source, That spot in the chamber is still wildly hotter than the rest of the chamber. You try moving it totally away from the heat source and your meat will spend so long getting up to the desired temp that it dries out getting there. This unit is a great idea and I still love using it way more than my pretend smoker Traeger. But you guys gotta stop cutting corners.

I probably just smoked my best brisket on this Woodwind Pro, The post oak wood burned perfectly in the smoker drawer where the chunk wood goes.

I had been waiting for a pellet grill that gave me the flexibility of adding as much smoke as I wanted. Then Camp Chef introduced the Woodwind Pro with fire box.

I have had this since May. Prior to buying I researched and watched/ read tons of reviews. I was probably headed for a high end competitor's grill, when I found this grill. The 36 is massive. You can feed an army with the space in this grill. The WiFi and app hooked up with no problem and the interface is so easy to use. The color screen is very nice. The readout is easy to see at a glance, and the app control is user friendly. The 4 temp probes are color coded and work really well with clear accurate readouts that I verified with my ThermoWorks instant read. The hopper is massive, and it holds more than enough pellets for an overnight cook. Assembly was very straightforward, by following the instructions in the CampChef YouTube video. It all comes down to the cooking. It holds temp really well with no attention. Does the smokebox make a difference? I did an overnight brisket, low and slow. I added wood chunks every 1/2 hour for the first two hours. Look at the picture below to see the bark it produced. I'm not the most experienced BBQ guy and this was what I was able to do. I have done ribs, chicken and reverse sear steaks, The big knock on pellet grills is not being able to produce bark like a stick burner. I think this has no problem making really good bark without. I added the flat top after purchase. That is a great addition. It gets so hot that I can't hold my hand over it when it is on high. It gives you the ability to reverse sear if you crank it up and do anything you would do on a griddle by adjusting the temp. For the price point this feels like a much higher end grill.

Great, cool concept, great smoke flavor for a pellet grill

Next level bark from a pellet grill. Great flavor. So easy to use.

This pellet smoker has met all of my expectations. The smoke control in the controller as well as the additional wood chips in the drawer provide a smoky flavor unlike any other pellet smoker I've tried.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. Food is always amazing coming out. So easy to use, i even figured it out when he was away.
