    Not yet. But I am leaning that way rather heavily.

    Howdy, I fill the tube and use a propane torch to light the open end, let it burn for a minute or two blow the flame out and place it in the smoke on the far left side so the air from the fan will keep it going. It puts out a great TBS for about 2 hours. Hope I explained it correctly, PaPaGrizz...

    I have a large wooden Pizza Peel. When I'm ready for my final forming of the dough, I put a bit of cornmeal on the peel and then stretch it to the shape I want, put my toppings on out to the smoker it goes and slides on the stone like it has ball bearings under the stone.

    I'm a bit late to the Party, I just found this thread. After living in Arkansas for the past 25 years I moved back to "The Peoples Republic Of Illinois" to get closer to my family before I take a Dirt Nap. Living the dream and smoking in Oglesby, Il.

    Howdy BK, If I need more smoke at a higher setting other than "Low Smoke" or "High Smoke" I use one of these: As far as pellets go, I am using lumberjack I can get from my local Rural King for 8.99 per 20 LB bag. They have 100% Oak and Hickory and several other "Blends" apple, cherry, pecan...

    I was told by CampChief that the gaps in the lid help to circulate the smoke in the chamber for maximum coverage for the food being smoked. With that being said I have built a stick burner and a UDS and sealed the lids as tight as I could. With adequate airflow coming into the pit to feed the...

    IBVAS, Howdy Brother, I am into a 13-hour smoke ( 8 pound Boston Butt) as I write (1730 CST). I filled the hopper to the top and have been watching it. After 13 hours I would say it's a little more than half full. I have more on standby just in case.;) I am also looking at the FireBlack to...

    Howdy BK, I have about six Smokes on the WoodWind now, and depending on how cold and windy it is, I get about a 15* temp swing. I don't think it a good idea to throw pellets directly into the pot if you run out of pellets, use the Feed setting. This is done by turning the dial to FEED and...

    Congrats on the new Pellet Pooper. If it's anything like the woodwind, you're going to love it.

    Hey wahoowad, My swings seemed to be no more than 10 to 15 degrees. I also had my Maverick hooked up and put the probe on a holder and attached it to the center of the grate towards the back. The Maverick read about 3 degrees higher than the readout on the WoodWind. Happy? :) Yes, I am! When I...

    Only had mine a week with three smokes on it. I too feel a tiny bit guilty not having to babysit this, but with the rib cook for the grandkids and family last Sunday, I had more time and fun with them. PaPaGrizz

    I reckon with that said I will leave it alone for a while and try different foods to smoke. All in all, I am happy with the smokes I have done so far. Thanks for the info, PaPaGrizz

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    Hey Mark, Thanks for the reply. How many cooks have you done since the gasket mod, and how is it working with the temps, smoke output on the food and pellet usage? I probably should send an email to Camp Chief to see if the gaps are there by design. I will attach the pic and report back with...
