Hey Folks! First post here and I'm turning to the experts! I did do a search to see if my questions could be answered but didn't find what I was looking for
Looking into adding another pellet grill to the stable - I'm working with a Pit Boss 700 and I really like it - I ran into an issue last week of wanting to cook multiple items at different temps and times so I want to add another pellet grill for those multiple temp / time cooks to avoid guesstimating with wrong temps and times - I was originally looking into upsizing and getting rid of the PB700 but then ran into the above issue and decided another mid-sized grill would probably make more sense
The Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 looks to be a dandy - I'm drawn to the features...WiFi / PID / Smart Smoke / Ash Cleanout System / the possibility of direct flame grilling
My questions that I can't seem to find answers to after watching many of the YT vids and other places on the interweb are...
1) If I decide that this will be my main cooker...I'm usually cooking for between 2-6 people and primarily just the meats so let's say up to 4 racks of ribs or a pork butt and 2 racks of ribs...is it big enough and if full-ish is the heat pretty even
2) I'm seeing some people are cooking on the mid-level shelves and avoiding the bottom shelf...on my PB I've only cooked on the bottom shelf...so is the bottom shelf too hot for longer cooks?
3) Does the direct flame grilling set up work? Most videos show them turning to the sear box or side kick to finish off the meats - The slider on the PB works great but on the CF does the flame actually reach up to the grate through those small slits or are you hoping for a grease fire to get the flames?
Thanks for sticking to the end and thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
