    Paint issues on Camp Chef Woodwind 24?

    No paint issues at all. I have my current Camp Chef WOODWIND WIFI 24 for more than a year and all is fine. However I have noticed that there is a new version of same that is now sold by CC. More Money ($1K vs $800) and supposedly "updated".

    Weber SmokeFire

    I was considering one of these grills a while ago and discovered that there are forums/discussion groups that discuss only the Weber Pellet Grill. One web site is https://www.weberpelletgrills.com/threads/holy-cow.737/. There may be others.

    Do I need sear plates?

    I'm not familiar with sear plates, but for cooking steaks/burgers on my Camp Chef 24" Woodwind Wi Fi I use GrillGrates. They substantially increase the surface cooking temperature; and leave excellent grate marks. That company's Web site is grillgrate.com

    Hey There ... I have a Camp Chef Woodwind 24" Wi Fi pellet grill, and have used many different pellets.

    Last smoke of the season....maybe!

    Living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in northern Georgia means smoking and grilling all year round. I love it. I may use more pellets in the cold months; but that averages out in the warm ones. Grilling dinner in the dark is more challenging; but I have lights for that. Glad that...

    Help choosing pellets

    JC mentioned above that some like the the Lumber Jack Maple/Hickory/Cherry blend. That is what I use in my Camp Chef. It is called the Lumber Jack Competition Blend; and it is excellent.

    I have the same grill; but 24". Here is the drill: "BREAKING IN THE GRILL We suggest turning the grill to 350F for 1⁄2 hour before cooking on the grill for the first time. This will burn off any manufacturing oils and cure the paint. Make sure to follow the instructions for filling the auger...

    PIT BARREL COOKER -Something ain't right

    I had a PBC a few years ago; and only used lighter fluid to start it. At that time they did not have (or recommend) the chimney starter that they now tout (or any chimney). Never had a problem with the dreaded "lighter fluid taste". Also, again at that time they recommended Kingsford Original...

    Grill Grates (https://www.grillgrate.com/) . Some questions for owners

    I could be mistaken, but I think that most all GrillGrates come with holes in the part (bottom)/(flat side) that fits on your existing grill; or replaces the factory grill. That is how mine are; and I can just flip them over. and use the bottom/flat side to cook burgers, etc. They work great...

    What is your favorite Lumberjack Pellet flavor for all meats - if you had to choose one??

    I'm with dubob. Competition Blend is best; and that is what I always use. If you want a hickory/southern pellet I can also recommend 100% pecan. ... Note: it is about 25% more expensive!
