that it will smoke, grill and roast. I also bought the searing grill as well and will explain more in a bit on

this. I will advise you I did receive a discount in return for an honest review after using it for some time. I
received the grill, searing box and optional shelf surprisingly in less than a week. It all came in three
boxes and assembly was cut and dry and within about 45 minutes I had the grill assembled and ready
for a test run. Which they do recommend burning any oils off the grill. So, when you initially lite your
grill it will smoke for a bit. Afterwards, I went to the store to purchase pellets. When I got to the store I
was overwhelmed by the choices. Mesquite, cherry, apple, charcoal, Jack Daniels and the list goes on.
So, I chose the competition blend and have not been disappointed. There is a lot of information on the
web on pellets and I suggest spending a bit of time reading up on them as well.

We know the Woodwind SG smokes, but you ask, how does it grill? Well the new SG model has the new
Slide & Grill Technology. This means you pull a lever to slide the plate off the fire pot and now you are
using direct flame and that is what grilling is. Also, setting your temp at 300 or above on the grill will
allow for this. The temp range on this grill is from 160 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows you to low
and high smoke, grill and even bake. Yes, you can even bake a pie in your Campchef Woodwind SG

Pellet grill. Smoking does not occur at
high temps, so you do not get a smoke
flavor. Smoking occurs at 250 and
below. You can learn more about this
on their website. I tested the temps
with a good oven temp gauge and
found that if you set the grill to 300 it
will hold pretty good right at 300. Take

note though, that opening the grill
cover and colder temps will make the
grill work harder to hold temps.
Campchef does offer a blanket for the
smoker/grill for cold temps.

Now you ask, what about clean up that

must be a mess? It isn’t and Campchef
has made it very easy. When you are
done simply pull the lever to dump the
ash into a small bucket that is supplied
and occasionally dump it into your
garden or flower pot. Then after a few
cooks simply vacuum the grill out.
Cleaning the grease slide and racks are

recommended and turning the grill up
high to bake it is off works as well
occasionally.

The SG has two large wheels and two
casters which makes moving the grill
very easy. The cover is optional and is a
