    Marinade Didn't Take

    I appreciate Third Eye's advice and can see that dry marinating has the advantage of applying spices, etc directly onto the meat. But I still wonder why the the marinades, which I tasted, didn't impart the same flavor to the meat? Yes, I made enough marinade for the 6 pounds, in fact I made...

    Marinade Didn't Take

    I tried making jerky on my new 36" Woodwind using the jerky racks. I thought 6 pounds of eye-of-round would fill the surfaces. It didn't. I could have smoked over 12 pounds. However, I had a problem, not with the Woodwind that performed perfectly, but with seasoning the jerky. We (my wife and...

    Extra set of Camp Chef Jerky Racks

    I ordered jerky racks with my 36" Woodwind. As I mentioned in a previous post, all 3 racks had sharp ends, with one particularly bad one. I asked CC if they'd like to have the rack returned. They said no, that they were going to replace it. Instead of just one rack, they sent another complete...

    Camp Chef Smoker group?

    I got the jerky rack. I think they're dangerous because some of the grate wires are not finished properly. I gashed my finger on one of the wire ends that was sticking up. One one grate, and I haven't tried the other two, there are more than 10 of these hazards. Do you have the same problem? If...

    Jerky Racks

    Got the jerky racks and installed them. Cut myself really good on a wire-end that had not been properly welded and finished. Is there any way to file or clip them down without ruining the finish? Thanks

    Better Camp Chef thermocouple?

    JC, I can't answer your questions. And Corey, I talked to CC and found that other thermocouples are not compatible with the CC controller.

    Better Camp Chef thermocouple?

    I just got a CC Woodwind and compared meat temperatures between its thermocouple, a digital thermometer and my Smoke which I know is pretty close to accurate and agrees with the digital. The tips of the digital and Smoke are 3/32 while the CC is 7/32. Is there a thermocouple with a thinner tip...

    First Cook -- Help Please

    These are back ribs. Three racks, each with a different binder: mustard, maple syrup and Pig's Ass BBQ sauce. Then Jeff's Original Rub. I can't believe how well the Woodwind holds temperature after my experience with my former pellet grill.

    First Cook -- Help Please

    I just lowered the temp to 200 and there's plenty of smoke. Will leave it there for about an hour and then take it back up. Really holds temp well.

    First Cook -- Help Please

    My first cook is beef ribs -- 3 slabs. Set the temp at 225 and a thermocouple next to the grate reads217. I dialed the smoke, first tow 6 and no smoke.Dialed it up to 9. Still no smoke. How come?

    Referencing my complaint

    I appreciate getting responses to my shipping complaint. I didn't realize shippers were so backed up. Also, didn't think about how the size of the shipment affects companies like FedEx. Probably more practical for a freight company to handle this kind of bulk. Anyway, got the grill, and set it...

    Disappointed in Camp Chef

    Thank you guys for setting me straight. FedEx said it'll be delivered today, so I can have it set up before the weekend. But your admonitions reminded me of a skit I was in at Y-camp while in junior high. My last lines were "Patience jackass, patience".

    Disappointed in Camp Chef

    I've read nothing but good reports about Camp Chef in this forum. That's why I'm pissed about what's happened to my order. And I can't blame this on COVID! In April, I ordered a 36" Woodwind with Sidekick jerky racks and patio cover. Delivery was to be in June. The jerky racks and patio cover...

    Temperature in the CampChef Woodwind

    Thanks. But is there any reason not to use a probe from the CC?

    Temperature in the CampChef Woodwind

    I wonder when Jeff, or I guess anyone else, specifies a temperature, is it at the grate or at the firebox? i have a Smoke with 2 probes. I use one for the meat and one for the grate on my GM Boone. It comes with a bracket that raises the probe off the grate.

    Temperature in the CampChef Woodwind

    The 36 has 4 probes. Can one be used to measure the temperature at the grill?

    1200$ budget

    I can answer that. I have a GM D Boone. I've always had trouble controlling temperature and the auger is growling quite a bit. These are the main reasons I'm getting a CC Woodwind.

    Temperature in the CampChef Woodwind

    I've ordered a CC 36" Woodwind which is replacing my Daniel Boone. On the Boone, there is a big temperature difference between the temperature set on the smoker and what's actually on the grill because the thermocouple is down by the firebox. I wondering if I'll have the same problem with the...

    New to the Forum but not a new smoker

    I'm new to the for but already used it for selecting a new smoker. I've been smoking (meats) for about 4 years with a Daniel Boone. I've not been able to control temperature, and now the auger is growling back at me. About a month ago, I decided to look for a new smoker. Jeff touted the Camp...
