Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36-in Pellet Grill Starter Bundle

I upgraded from a standard pellet grill. I was not happy with the lack of wood smoke flavor. I tried smoke tubes and smoke boxes, but nothing provided the wood smoke flavor I wanted. The woodwind pro with the new smoke chamber works and provides the smoke flavor I have been looking for. Awesome smokey flavor on ribs, chicken, wings and pork shoulder. Brisket is next.

We received our Woodwind pro 36 unassembled, the packaging was beat up bad, torn, and re-taped by the shipping company. The Woodwind pro was undamaged. Our first cook was four racks of ribs. They were perfect. Full of flavor and a beautiful smoke ring. The temperatures stay really close to what you set and hardly varies at all. Second cook was ribeye steaks reverse sear done perfectly. Well-built, easy to assemble, easy to use. I highly recommend.

I bought this grill after searching and do research and man let me tell you the smoke box really enhances the smoke flavor I was kinda skeptical about it being so small but throw some wood chunks in there and let it light really good flavor that you can't get on other pellet grills! I'm really happy with the purchase.

I bought this over a year ago. I have had about every type of smoker and this is by far my favorite. I have cooked just about everything on this bad boy: steak, burgers, turkeys, chicken, pork butt, brisket, ribs, etc… I love the wood box integration. I do see some flux in temp if there is too much wood or the dampener is too far open. Other than that this thing just runs. It has its own flavor profile. It's not a true wood burning smoker but you get the convenience of the pellet grill with the smoke all others are missing. Three things I don't like though is that 1) mine has a defect in the roof where metal was not meshed up properly. 2) The lid has to be pushed to the left a little so it completely closes. I contacted customer support and their suggestions did not fix it. 3) They don't make a cover specifically for this which is a little lazy imo for a 2k+ grill. I also sprung for the sidekick and I use the gas setup for searing and sometime just a quick burger or something like that. It works beautifully. My wife and I are looking forward to getting the pizza oven. I didn't dig the gas hanger on the back at first but it is great. Move the whole grill no problem now. The app is great as well.

I bought this two months ago and I'm very satisfied. The investment is worth it imo. Custom smoke box gives you freedom to add flavoring, app and wifi allow to be hands off if you just want the pellets to cook it while you do other stuff.

We bought this grill 6 months ago. We smoked all our venison sticks and summer sausage on it. Turned out great. Great flavor.

I bought this grill a couple months ago. It kept selling out and I'm glad I was finally able to get this game changing grill. I was hesitant and spending the money on this grill at first, buy once cry once is what I'm hoping for. The grill is well built and should with stand the rest of time (stainless and well designed). Digital controller for this grill allows you to control how much smoke is created during the cooking process. When cooking burgers I choose a lower setting, when smoking I choose a higher setting and use the smoke box. The smoke box is a complete game changer for this grill and is an amazing innovation. The smoke box allows for next level flavor in smoked meats. The ease of ash disposal makes this grill very easy to maintain. I wish the grates were stainless steel but they have held up just fine so far. Overall this grill is amazing and well worth the investment!

Had the 24" Woodwind pro for a year and used weekly at a minimum, when this came out I had to upgrade for 36" and that extra smoke box. Owned 1 month now and have 7 cooks on it already.

I have cooked on smokers ranging from electric cabinet smokers to traditional stick burners. I desired something that has the convenience of pellet smoker with more traditional smoke flavor and this product did not disappoint. The sidekick is a huge step up from the average gas grill side burner from a BTU perspective. Future enhancements would include, (1) more secure fire pot cover (sliding in and out smoke box can dislodge the cover), (2) top grate should be a single piece, and (3) pellet feed "funnel" causes a loss of feed even when there are plenty of pellets in the hopper.

This woodwind pro 36 is an amazing pellet grill! But with everything there is good and bad. The good is the grill look amazing inside and outside. The stainless steel really compliments the black powder coating! I heard about the horrible experience that users had with the connectivity with the Wi-Fi, mine was very easy. The unit connected then updated with no problem.The app kept me up to date with my initial start up. The seasoning was very easy. The interface that Camp Chef uses is very user friendly and easy to use! Very self explanatory! I really enjoyed the feature like the selectable smoke level! The probe that are color coded so that the guessing of what probe is what is what is amazing, Now the not so good!! It not many. Let's start with assembly. The direction could of use a little more information! Though it come with a brochure for BILT, but if you don't have a smartphone then you would have to rely on the picture instructions. Like all the YouTube videos and blogs the bottom screw on the hopper was very difficult to screw in and to tighten. If you don't have a 24 inch screwdriver then this will be a difficult task! My hopper ce damaged! The tap on the left was bent up severely! I was able to bend it back down to put the screw in but it was disappointing to see a brand new grill that came damaged. Also on the front of the hopper it was discolored by the pellet level view! Also the lower shelves were not labeled front or rear. Overall this grill is a fantastic cooker. The sidekick searer works flawlessly! This pellet grill is highly recommended for all levels of users!
