Camp Chef Woodwind 1236-Sq. in Stainless Steel / Black Pellet Grill

Top racks are rusting in 4 months.

Overall I like the quality of the Woodwind 36, but the top racks, which appeared to be stainless steel, have rusted just by sitting outside in a cover. I have never used these and was a bit shocked. By the way, I've only had this unit 4 months and used it 5 times.

One of the best

Great smoker, huge upgrade from my DLX! The area is huge so you get a nice even smoke.

Frustrating

Bought a couple of years ago.i love it when it’s working! However, I have had to work on it repeatedly. First, was the the auger shear pin. You have to take it completely apart, and I follow the instructions on emptying the bin. This has happened more than once. Second was the thermostat. Not a difficult part to replace, but still should have failed already. Last now, 3/4th through cooking a thanksgiving turkey the fan goes out. Shouldn’t have to work on a grill this much for this price point. I...

Good product, could be great w/small changes

Pros: Cooks and smokes as I would expect from a Camp Chef product. Cons: The drip tray is smaller than the cooking area so grease can accumulate at the bottom near the fire box.

I chose this model for the ability to flame grill if wanted. The first cook was using the Side Sear grill with some chicken breasts. Worked great and they were delicious....

I have a smoking problem!

several items have been made in support of my smoking problem. I would highly recommend this smoker. set it and forget it!

Pure perfection with none of the work

The Most Important Cooking Item in the House

I bought mine over two years ago. In the beginning the Wi-Fi would drop but an upgrade about 6 months ago solved that. I use an average at least twice a week. The side kick allows the griddle or the grill box. All on one. I will never be without my Camp Chef.
