Camp Chef woodwind wifi 24 pellet grill

(no message)

I've had this exact model for awhile now with 20+ cooks on it. However, one change I did was get the Sidekick that comes standard with the griddle and I added the pizza oven.

Happy with everything, but as said above, you need to "learn" your way through some things. But each time I cook I get better with it.

Unit itself is built very well and the wifi is fantastic. Was a little bit of a hassle to put together, but very doable. I recommend 2 people to cut the time drastically.

Other thoughts:

- You do not get crazy heavy smoke you would expect from a barrel style, wood chucks smoke. It's a lighter burning, clearer smoke that puts out plenty of smoke aroma, but you will not get very dramatic barks on your meat (so yes, searing them on a screaming hot griddle or sear grates is a perfect finish).

- You don't need to use Camp Chef pellets. Other brands work fine. I find that Apple pellets produce the highest smoke output and best flavor combo.

- Highly recommend splurging and getting the Sidekick. Gamechanger.

- Make sure you clean out the pellet ash at least every 2-3 cooks. I have a simple cheap wetvac for this that does the job perfectly and quickly. If you leave uncleaned it too long you're at risk of all sorts of issues.

In short, I can't recommend it enough. Best value that allows for several upgrade additions that simply aren't offered with other brands.

Pizza oven attachment isn't as quality as like an Ooni or RoccBox but definitely does the trick and makes for a pretty cool set up for a pizza making party with kids, etc...

I love my grill grates. I use them for steaks and burgers.

There is a sliding mechanism that takes the plate off the pellet burning box and exposes the flame.
