Camp Chef Woodwind

[Kathleenmelissa]

Hi all -- I'm a total newb and just started diving into pellet smokers. I was leaning toward a Camp Chef Woodwind and just thought I'd get some real-world feedback on top of my review reading, youtube video watching, etc.. Does anyone have one? Let me know what you think. I like the sear box feature of it actually and am gravitating toward that. Would that be good for a first timer?

Welcome from Wisconsin.

I know nothing of the rig you are using but I am sure someone will be along to help you straight away.

I have a Camp Chef Woodwind with the sear box. I updated mine with the PID WiFi controller Camp Chef introduced on their most recent models. Mine works great and Camp Chef's Customer Service is second to none!

If you choose to go with the Woodwind you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy,

John

No experience with but I think the Camp Chef would serve you well. I would also lean towards the PID controller, It keeps your temperatures in check.

Hi and Welcome KM. I don't have one, but I agree the CampChef Woodwind looks like a winner.
I believe they also make some of the Cabela's models and it might be a bit cheaper buying one that route.

CC no longer makes Cabela's smokers. I have the Woodwind w/ Sear Box. I used the Sear Box about 4 or 5 times and decided a hot fry pan with butter does a much better job. I ordered the WiFi/PID upgrade a week ago. I love the grill, just not the Sear Box. Wasted money for me.

I am totally pleased with my Camp Chef Woodwind 24"WiF Grill; and can recommend it highly.
I've had Webers, Weber gas, Pit Barrel Cookers, Kamados etc and the Camp Chef is excellent.
I do not have the sear box; but when I want to grill hotter I use GrillGrates designed for that grill. At 400 degrees on the Woodwind thermometer my GrillGrates are at 525 degrees. You can remove them from the grill when you do not want higher temperature cooks.
