I love my new CampChef WoodWind SG, and had an issue with sear box - was it too close to the grill when mounted? i had to shim it with a washer. no issues with the grill it's really nice and works very well

Dick's sporting goods sells for 14.99 per #20 bag - no shipping costs https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/lumber-jack-hickory-pellets-18wtpuhckry10020lcfp/18wtpuhckry10020lcfp

no price difference might as well. only reason.

I've pulled the trigger on the Woodwind SG with sear box - cannot wait for it to arrive!

yes we have friends who have made ribs on a traeger and they were very good. i'm thinking i'll get the CC, seems a bit more convenient for day to day - and then reset the wheel of funds and see about a kamado in the future.

I'm in same boat so I can appreciate this thread. i've only got an old offset cheapo smoker i had someone give me, and i grill on the firebox - which works, but isn't ideal. I've been struggling with either buying a pellet smoker/grill - specifically the CampChef SG 24 with searbox, or going...

How do you like your Pellet Pro? i don't see too many reviews on that brand, although they look to be upper middle tiered pellet grills?

thanks for the link! now i have to research the Pellet Pros - they look like they are good and well priced as well.

will check them out!

was the Yoder 640 worth the $$$$s? be interested to hear if it is THAT much better than these others.

is the YS640 worth it?

Thanks for the feedback this is helpful. i see myself changing between hickory, cherry and pecan, and mixing for briskets.

very helpful on the SG feature thank you! i will rethink my strategy...

do you have one with the slide and grill? interested to hear how that works for basic steak grilling/searing.

yeah i'm not focused on searing, but for what the decent pellet grills cost i'd like to be able to - even if i have to get grill grates to heat up for it, i'm fine with that, but i don't want to have a propane attachment. so your traeger cooks well, but you don't use it for high temps yes?
