Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36-in Pellet Grill Starter Bundle

I've owned this since October 2022 (3 months), and I've already exceeded the number cooks I had on my old pellet smoker that I owned for over 10 years. So easy to use, holds temp perfect. The app is so convenient. I want to cook on it all the time.

My husband did a lot of research and settled on this Pellet Smoker with a Wood Chip Box inside. He loves it. He loves it so much he is smoking meats faster than we can eat the meat. The first was a big American Wagyu Brisket. He's had it a little over a month, there is only two of us. We've had 2 whole chickens, 4 racks of pork ribs, 2 quarter chickens. Everything came out great. He didn't have to sit by it all night trying to keep up the heat. He loves the wood chip box. He is using less wood and getting the right amount of smoke. Highly recommended.

I bought this a few months ago. Assembly was super easy and straight forward. I'm a women and did it solo in about 2 hours. The flat top is great for breakfast bacon, eggs, brats, etc. the smoker side actually gives a great smoke flavor to the meat. The extra smoke box is pivotal.. total game changer for a pellet grill. Only thing you need to know is it does take awhile for it to come to temperature so plan that into your prep time. We found it heats up faster if you overshoot your goal temp then back down. For example you want a temp of 350.. set it for 375 or 400.

I am in love with my WW36 Pro. It has all the ease of use of a pellet grill with the added feature of adding wood chunks or charcoal. This model was the a natural upgrade from the WW36. Everything from the stainless steel body to the improved features on the controller just make sense. This is my go to smoker and I have no regrets. Way to go CC.

Awesome grill. So convenient for my wife and I. I use it almost every day.

Super easy to use! Makes great bbq! Love it!

This is my 3rd CampChef smoker. I keep coming back because of the quality of the products and the top-tier customer service. This new iteration of the Woodwind absolutely blew my mind. I've now smoked pork ribs, beef ribs, brisket, pork shoulders, and a Thanksgiving turkey. Everything came out fantastic! I control the amount of smoke with added wood chunks with the ease of the temp-controlled PID. My bark is now comparable to most offsets. This grill is a powerhouse and an absolute game-changer in the pellet grill landscape. I would go as far as saying it's in a category of its own. Bravo to the CampChef team for constantly innovating their game and pushing the limits of what we expect from a pellet grill. This is the best grill I've ever owned hands down.

I really wanted to be in love with this cooker but for me, it's a hit and miss. Starting from the beginning, assembly is advertised to be a snap but even though i'm quite handy, I disagree. If i'd put together several I guess i could do it in about an hour. However, this being the first one, it took me more than 3 hours. I was super excited about the "Bilt" video app but it leaves out a lot of details which cost me more time in the long run. Honestly, I needed to watch some YT videos to get it fully done and adjusted. That was a miss. I'd stick with the paper directions rather than the Bilt app in the future. As well, some of the screw and nut placement is super tricky to get done as they are blind location. I also cut my hand a couple times on sharp metal i couldn't see. So assembly and install, honestly i'd give it a 2 star rating. Durability and quality - Thins are good fit and function. The door seals pretty well, the sidekick additions are fantastic and this is a great looking grill. However, the stainless steel is very poor quality. There is not a specific cover even offered for this yet as they only offer the woodwind covers with a built in stack - the first night of rain put surface rust on the SS surfaces and all of the SS screws have rust in them. One rain! I'm a little concerned on this. The black enamel surfaces look good but not the supposedly stainless steel. They also should have made the casters much larger - they are some of the smallest i've ever seen which will make moving it a bit harder. Why not offer oversized or pneumatic? Would be so much more functional. Jury is out on durability but right now, feels like 3 stars. Function- This is where it shines. I'm totally impressed with the PID in this and how much smoke it puts out just with pellets. The temps maintain near flawlessly so far for me even when i'm running 7-10 smoke levels. I've had Yoder, Mak and others - nothing compares here. The app is also very good. Adding to that the ability of augmenting with wood chunks is a killer feature. So much more smoke is present when using this though - i sure wish it was bigger. the chunks burn up super quick even though the door is "closed" during the cook. There's gaps on the door so i'm guessing it continues to get flames. I'll try soaking the chunks longer but so far, this part even though awesome does require attention every 35-45 minutes if you want to keep getting that extra smoke. Function, I'm giving this 5 stars. Overall, I'm putting this at 4 star rating but I could have left it a 3 with the build quality. I'm definitely concerned long term about the "stainless steel" and how it holds up. Sure hope they offer a cover soon as i really don't want to buy an ill-fitting generic cover at the local hardware big box stores.

I'm loving the woodwind pro 36 so far. Still trying to get the hang of how best to use the smoke box, particularly how to get good smoke consistently, but I'm getting better at it each new cook. I love the space, I love the controller, I love the ash clean out, and I'm really enjoying the smoke box.

I absolutely love this smoker. The only reason I am not giving this a 5 star is because it does not come with a cover. I don't even mind paying for a cover, but there is not one made for this model. The recomender one is for the woodwind which has a chimney, but the pro does not. That aside, this smoker gives me everything I have been missing since going to a pellet smoker. I get the smoke flavor I have been looking for, while still having the convenience. I also get to go out and tinker with the wood/charcoal and keep it up, but if I do not have the time, the cook is not impacted.
