    Distinguishing different wood flavors?

    Nice to see this Link back up again. I just went to the Website you mentioned. I could not find where they sell the wood chips. But I might purchase a small order of Ham steaks or Sausages to try the flavor. Thanks the site. Back to smoke flavor. I still had the best distinguished smoke...

    Which brand name Wood Pellets to buy. Plus adding a Smoker Tube to your grill.

    Hello all, I went through some older articles talking about wood pellet brands. Seems like many of you like Lumberjack. I have been using Camp Chef & Traeger but after reading here, not the best brand to use. I just don't seem to taste or smell the wood flavor like Hickory. So that leads me...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Hello again, I am back to update my Oily Residue story. First thing, you guys were right, it had to be a bad fan. Second thing, Camp Chef has great customer service, they kept helping me and it is finally working as it should. They sent me a new Hopper. Once I installed the new Hopper, it...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks again. This sure sounds like the issue, you are spot on I believe. I will wait for their reply after all I sent them today. I never posted on You Tube, that should be interesting. Is there a reason they won't video post here? If they gave a limit on file size, that would fine...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks for the reply. I agree and have not eaten the oily food. I said the same today when I sent them all the pictures and videos. This is unacceptable and want to return the grill if not fixed. They have been cooperative so far. Received the new drip pan, PID controller plus when I had...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks to bregent & BigW, you both saw that similar problem of half burnt pellets. I sent both pictures that you saw to Camp Chef this morning. Being email, I sent them the videos I wanted to show you also. They are quick to respond and said their engineers are looking at them now. Previous...

    Distinguishing different wood flavors?

    I like your comparison of wood taste to wine. I think of those wine experts, Mmmm I can taste those Hickory Notes with a dash of Mesquite and Apple fragrances. I had a Masterbuilt smoker for years using wood chips. Now I have a Camp Chef using wood pellets. To be honest, I really could...

    Advice on adding smoke

    I mentioned earlier Home Depot has free shipping and many choices. Well, that changed due to the Virus. They are now charging $25 shipping fee. Plus with everyone being at home cooking, they have many that are sold out. But still, I will not pay $25 shipping. I will go to local Ace Hardware...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks Bregent for the video. For future use, is there a way to post my own video? I guess I need to shorten the time for smaller file, then zip it? For your video, my burn on the Camp Chef looks as good if not a larger more flickering flame. Meaning good airflow?

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks for the reply, I did most comments below for all the recommendations. But I forgot one, your burn in. Yes I did the burn in, hitting 500 degrees. So hot in fact, it warped the drip pan. I commented to camp chef who I feel has excellent customer service. They sent me a new drip pan, no...

    Black oily residue on meat

    Thanks. I posted more below for all the comments. For pine mix, understand. But not happy these name brand companies would do this, can see a fly by night place, you know those Non American sites.

    Black oily residue on meat

    I found two pictures, one was the oily chicken last week. Today's was better off indeed. Also a picture of the flame once startup sequence was completed. I hope you can tell by the flutter of the flame, seemed to me the fan was working ok. I wish I could post a video though.

    Black oily residue on meat

    I want to thank everyone on this link that has replied, really appreciated your ideas. Thought I would reply here and add my pictures & videos. First thing I did today after all your ideas mentioned below: I did empty all the pellets from the cooking last night. I did the Feed option to clean...

    Pellet smoker

    I also have the Camp Chef woodwind 24. I will need to start doing what recommended of cleaning out the auger with humidity soon coming. My problem is the slide out to empty burn pot into the cup. After the first use, between heat and buildup of crust, it won't slide. I have to loosen the two...

    Advice on adding smoke

    I have found the best place to order On Line is Home Depot Website. They have free shipping and very little tax. It takes several days though to receive. But they have many name brand choices and flavors. Cheaper then Amazon and better selection.

    Black oily residue on meat

    I had a Masterbuilt smoker for years, great smoked food until it gave on me. Now have a Camp Chef Woodwind pellet smoker, enjoying the new featured toy. But it leaves a black oily residue. I have used their Camp Chef pellets plus tried Traeger pellets. Being a new grill, I don't have a...

    Black Residue on Meat in Smoker

    My first time here, thanks for being here to help. In Jan. 2020, I just purchased the Camp Chef Woodwind Pellet Smoker. For several years I used a Masterbuilt smoker until it finally died, The Camp Chef works really well with good Temp settings, smoke level settings and wifi monitoring. But I...
