    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    I finally decided to break out my ole trusty machinist rule and measure the gap on my lid. Lower left side is 9/32". Needless to say the .125 or 1/8" FireBlack won't do a lot but maybe slow the draft down a bit. I now have some of the FireBlack 220 on order which is .220" in an attempt to slow...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    Sarge, your rate is about right from my smoke two days ago. I did a 16 hour smoke and ran out of pellets at 101 meat temperature while heading for 203 on a Picnic Roast. My recovery was to do the feed bypass to reload pellets, and back to set temperature which cost about 30 minutes to get...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    Doing my first long smoke on a 9# Picnic today. There is no doubt we all are cheating in one way or another by not having to babysit the smoker temperature control. This is just far too easy. So...since cheating is acceptable, I'm also using a remote dual probe temperature monitor for smoke and...

    If the Woodwind is anything like the LUX with optional Sear Box added, you'll love it. Turn it on, keep the pellet box full enough and forget it. I feel left out at times for not having to babysit the temperature control.

    In my warranty question to CC asked about the gap on the lid and suggestion to add a gasket. Here is their reply. "The gap around the lid is normal & was designed that way, so that there is better air flow, creating the perfect cooking environment. The grill needs places for the air to flow, or...

    Thanks for the reply. This agrees with Camp Chef who stated design for plus or minus 20 degrees. I'm still asking the question to them about the 3/16" gap on the lower left side of the grill. I hate to add the gasket material but physics will allow the exchange of air with even a slight breeze...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    The LUX with sear box and 36" front shelf arrived. Started assembly and was missing four bolts and locknut for the shelf brackets. I drilled the shelf mounting bracket holes with the supplied template and had no problems. I installed temporary bolts until Camp Chef provides the correct ones so...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    Great discussion on the lid gasket. I have the LUX with a sear box on order. Looking forward for some reverse sear filet mignon. I went with the larger smoker due to occasional family and grandkids coming over for dinner here and there. I also have on order a roll of FireBlack for the lid...
