    Pellet Smokers - are these really concerns?

    Get a Woodwind and you wouldn't have to. ;)

    Pellet Smokers - are these really concerns?

    The sear box is part of the Woodwind, not an accessory. Yes, some models can add a sear box after the fact but the Woodwind comes with it so it's not an accessory. It's part of my Woodwind. You can't buy a Woodwind without a sear box. You're right, most pellet smokers/grills can't sear or at...

    Pellet Smokers - are these really concerns?

    Nowhere does Camp Chef mention you're searing using the pellets. That's what the sear box is for. Hence the name. A Woodwind is made up of the grill/smoker and the sear box. I own a Woodwind, not a Camp Chef grill/smoker AND a Camp Chef sear box or "gas grill."

    Pellet Smokers - are these really concerns?

    Many an animal has met its demise on my Woodwind and no one has ever mentioned a "lack of smoke flavor." And as far as searing, the sear box on my Woodwind hits 900 degrees. If you can't sear on that, there's no hope.

    THERMOPRO, NOT GOOD

    "Thermopro, not good"....Not true. I've always considered emailing someone's customer service as being passive aggressive. If a phone number is given and you have a chance to actually talk with someone, take advantage of that and do so. I had issues with my probes weeks after receiving my...

    thermo pro tp20

    Love my TP-20. Granted, my probes started reading erratically a few months after I received them so I called ThermoPro and told them what was happening. The CS rep asked a couple of questions and then asked for my address. Two new probes in the mail only a couple of days later. Still working...

    Should I be concerned about oil coating?

    My Woodwind came with a manual and it instructed a "break-in" as Geebs described.

    Big sale Camp Chef Woodwind at Home Depot today only

    You're missing out if you're not using both for steaks and burgers. Reverse sear is the only way to go for both. That said, the main grill/smoking chamber of the Woodwind can reach temps of 500+ degrees so you can grill in there as well. But again....REVERSE SEAR!!!!

    a(nother) help me choose thread, $500-800(ish) budget

    You can. It's essentially a small gas grill with cast iron grates. You can grill on the main grill itself too. It reaches temps of 500+ degrees.

    Woodwind, all the way. Plus, Home Depot is running a sale on them. Love mine so much, I sold my BGE and haven't looked back. The fact I can smoke (low and slow), grill (up to 500 degrees), bake and sear all with one cooking apparatus makes the Woodwind the best all around fit for me.

    Big sale Camp Chef Woodwind at Home Depot today only

    Could not be happier with my Woodwind. Love it so much, I sold my BGE because, once I started using my Woodwind, I never used my BGE anymore.

    Smoked meatloaf

    Mastercaster, righteous doesn't do it justice. It's so good, I feel like I'm doing something illegal when I eat it. I go full blown fat kid when this stuff hits my plate. And of course lets not forget about the meatloaf sammies with the leftovers. I just drooled on myself. LOL!

    Smoked meatloaf

    I couldn't agree more that the available food a deer has to eat greatly impacts its taste. I grew up hunting in central MD where we had a lot of agriculture but we would also hunt in the mountains in Western MD (Garrett County) and the meat from the deer in western MD had a different taste than...

    Smoked meatloaf

    Correct. I brown them first before adding to the meatloaf. A buddy of mine suggested smoking the onion and garlic and then adding it to the meatloaf. I might give that a try.

    12-14 lbs turkey Pellet grill/smoker temp?

    I'm going to do a 14lbs turkey on my Camp Chef Woodwind pellet smoker for Thanksgiving. I'm going to spatchcock it and then inject it with Cajun Butter and let it set, uncovered, in the fridge over night. Then, I'm going to smoke it @ 250 until IT hits around 140. After smoking, I'm going to...

    157 it is! Thanks Al! I'll report back with the result, and pictures of course.

    Turkey recommendations

    Al, I am doing two turkeys (both around 14 lbs) for Thanksgiving. One is going in the oil-less fryer and the other is going on my Woodwind pellet smoker. I was planning on doing as you described (spatchcock, inject with Cajun Butter) but I was thinking about starting out by smoking it around 250...

    Smoked meatloaf

    I can't say I've ever tasted a difference between deer I've killed DRT and ones I've killed that ran after being shot. I do a lot of bow hunting so DRT shots only occur if I make a poor shot and hit one in the spine. Otherwise, they all run off after I run an arrow through them and I haven't...

    Smoked meatloaf

    I thought about that and while it would cure the "sticking" issue, I still wouldn't get the all-around bark I'm looking for. I appreciate the tip though.
