I've been smoking in this grill since the deal last august. Had some issues with the board on it (twice) but got replacements from customer service without much hassle.
Don't recommend, or see purpose, of wi-fi control of a smoker.
Now a wifi or bluetooth temp probes, yes!

I got a "Govee Bluetooth Meat Thermometer with 4 Probes" last december and have used it a bunch of times... including some 20hr cooks. Done well. Paid $16 from govee direct on a sale.

WiFi would be nice... but for $16 it works!

I have a Camp Chef Woodwind that's just over 5yrs old... NEVER a flameout, NEVER a fire. I do basic cleans occasionally.... been solid.

If you're considering a Pellet smoker, check out the FB group "Camp Chef Smoker Smokers" It's an excellent group, well admin monitored, and VERY helpful.
I joined weeks before buying... learned a lot, helped me make a decision.

My $.02!

Had a similar higher end model of Camp Chef…

And here is the list of issues I had with it.

Yes they offered to send me a replacement auger pin, (takes 30 mins to get to it) but for the love of almighty God how can so many things fail so quickly?

The very first day we noticed two serious issues with the grill.

1. The selection wheel itself is almost impossible to actually depress without hitting it hard with a finger or knuckle, otherwise it will not recognize the press.

2. The included app was and still is very touchy with its communication to the grill. It's 50/50 at best, despite being 10 feet from a router.

3. A few months in we noticed that despite the sound of the auger turning, in fact it was not.
We dismantled several major pieces only to find out the metal pin connecting the auger to the drive shaft had snapped, which left the shaft spinning freely, unable to support any feeding of pellets into the fire cup.

4. We had to cut a small piece of wire clothes hanger as a pin to work as a makeshift pin, reassembled the pieces and it started working.
This cost me approximately 6 hours of my time.

5. The main thermometer inside the unit constantly reads 32F for some reason, despite the grill being hot and in operation, which requires us to use the temperature probe instead.

6. The hopper itself has an angled design that contributes to piles of pellets hanging out on the side, not going into the hopper, causing the auger/fire cup to not be fed, which eventually turns into a flameout situation.

Altogether this has turned what should have been a smart-automated device Fathers Day present into a machine that needs constant babysitting to operate correctly, despite us buying the recommended Camp Chef Pellets.

Not sure about them, but I have a friends sister that her work offers employee discounts on Camp Chef items. Not sure if the companies are affiliated somehow, or just a "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours" kinda deal. She works for Federal (ammunition)

I have a discount with them as well. It used to be 40 percent but now it's been lowered to 20 percent.

Had to return mine back to Amazon few days ago. Received a total beat up package that I did not have a good feeling to open. My suspicions were confirmed, the grill and smoker were pretty dented. Besides the delivery, there was missing hardware and the grill itself seemed like a returned and repacked piece that was sold off as new; super greasy face plates.

I'll have to wait for a pellet grill deal for local pick up. Anyone else came across delivery issues from Amazon on this grill?

This deal has been around for awhile, it would be a great deal if it had a sear plate, but even without it not bad. I passed on it cause of no sear ability.

Any deals on the side kick / sear box? These pellet grills are a smoke oven otherwise without it.

I have the woodwind 24 that i've been using for the last year or two. So far, pulled it out of the box, set it up and been trouble free to date. One time i had to reset the wifi connection, but otherwise fine. Some comments:

1. Not sure what yours is like, but it needs some pressure, it's a button? Because it twists and well as depresses it can be a bit tricky but hardly anything worth noting? Sounds like a defective item?

2. My app has been solid to date, rarely have an issue. Is yours iphone or android?

3-4. I've had something similar happen to an old traeger and it's a pain

5. Sounds like a defective unit, have you cleaned it and it's connections or looked into a replacement?

6. They all do this honestly, no design seems like it fixes this issue. My traeger did it too, but worse with its rectangular design, this angled one helps, but doesnt eliminate it by any means.


To the other people who say wifi isnt necessary.....have you actually used one with wifi? It's fantastic. I dont use it from miles away, but being able to control and monitor temps/status from around the house while watching the kids or fixing other parts of dinner is fantastically helpful. I used a bluetooth probe for my traeger and as soon as you go one room away it loses connection, so wifi is the way to go for me. You cannot start or shut down the unit from the app which is unfortunate, but probably for the best, safety wise. Some of the other features I thought I'd love I havent really used but the wifi is my absolute favorite feature. Different strokes for different folks.

Control from work while someone is home I hope? I definitely wouldn't leave it unsupervised. Wifi/internet can always go down.

Good deal. Ive had this same model for a couple years now and although I haven't used it as much as I would like, it's been extremely reliable when I have. I've done tri tip (probably easiest and my go to), pork spare ribs, brisket, and chicken on this and they've all come out better than expected. I highly recommend the sidekick attachment if you can find one and you don't have a separate gas grill outside.
Smokefire from Weber has a great app that lets you do exactly what you want, with the ability to have 4 meat probes to monitor. Can seat temp alarms too, so you can start before you go to bed and have your phone alarm at you once a temp point is set so you can wrap if needed. Also has a low pellet alert.

This is a great entry level pellet grill/smoker. Mainly a smoker, keep your Weber kettle for grilling. I've had mine for several years now in the northeast with just the camp chef cover and it's still in great shape. It's been reliable and I haven't had any problems with it. I bought it at dicks sporting goods when they do the 25% off at Black Friday and it was around this price, maybe a little cheaper. FYI this isn't as tall as the woodwind series. The top shelf is lacking headroom. A full packer brisket will fit on it but if it's a good size one it will overhang the heat shield. For the money I'm not sure this can be beat with all the features it has. If you want WiFi, buy a WiFi version. It's not worth the $200 upgrade from camp chef to add WiFi to this model. For everyone saying just use a WiFi thermometer… it's not the same. People have stuff to do and lives to live. So yes we leave the house while the pellet smoker is smoking for 12+ hours. Don't leave it one foot from your house when doing so. A WiFi version will let you check the temp of the meat and lower the temp of the smoker if you are not home when you hit your target temp. So you can keep your meat in the safe zone without over cooking. If your just getting into bbq this is definitely a recommended purchase at this price. If you already have a kettle, or WSM and are looking for something to make you're bbq life easier. I highly recommend saving up and buying a higher end WiFi version. You get more room and WiFi. I bought mine before I knew anyone with a pellet grill. Now that their much more common and known to be dependable and make good BBQ, it's worth spending a little more to get a higher end one if you want to BBQ often. I'm currently and saving to upgrade to a camp chef woodwind pro or Lone star grillz pellet. I also have a 26" Weber kettle, 22" WSM with Cajun bandit extra shelf, with a original FireBoard and drive fan, and a blackstone, so I do know my way around outdoor cooking.

I was interested in the Bullseye back when it was intro priced (I think $349). I went with a larger camp chef and really wish I had just gotten a RecTeq. My Camp Chef has a failing internal temp probe and tons of rust on the grates despite being covered through the Northern California winter (no snow). It's just not a quality piece of equipment.

Looks like quite a few controller issues according to posts here, but good to hear that the CS is very good.
