very heavy-duty cover and helps protect your grill from the elements helping to keep your grill in great
shape for many years since this is not a cheap grill. Retailing at $999.00 on the website. With that said
they currently give you free shipping, cover and bonus pellets. The grill comes in all black or with a
stainless-steel grill door and handle. Below I will list the features and specifications. I find the 24” grill to
be perfect size for family and guests. If you are a large family and host larger parties than the 36” may
be a better choice for you.
Now to review the searing box. I decided to add this on for three reasons. To begin with, not only was I
receiving a discount, but mainly because it allows me to still grill when there isn’t any power. Then, I can
use propane to still cook and the last reason is, to reverse sear any meat I cook locking in juices and
making those great grill marks. The searing box is a 16,000 BTU stainless steel burner and reaches a
temp of 900 degrees Fahrenheit. This unit works great, and you can use your old propane tank. The tank
hangs on a hook that mounts to the back of the grill. When assembling I was concerned about hanging a
large propane tank on the back but once I hung mine on the back I realized how secure it was. The cover
does accommodate the tank also. The searing box was very easy to install and weighs 34 lbs. The total
surface area is 184 square inches.
Overall, I feel I made a great choice and have enjoyed smoking and grilling more than ever. I did have an
electric smoker and it required so much of my time to put in wood chips. Now with the auger it
dispenses pellets as needed and makes my smoking more effective. I haven’t baked in it yet, but I have
bought a pork loin and will be giving it a try soon. While comparing to CampChef’s closes competitors I
found they ran close on hoppers and that but sometimes the little things give you the edge such as,
wheels on all four legs, can opener, two meat probes, customer service is awesome, website and the
plethora of information for the beginner and competitor just made them my overall choice.
*Note: One thing I do want to bring to your attention! This goes for ANY pellet grill. Do not keep your
pellets in the hopper for extended periods of
time. I found that if the pellets are moist the
ignitor may not light the pellets and will feed
more in and soon you have a potential issue
on hand as I did. The pot filled up began to
smoke big time and when I opened the grill
cover moments later a flame shot out once
oxygen hit the smoking pellets. So, it is
recommended to dump the pellets out and
that is very easy with the Woodwind by
pulling the hopper lever it auto dumps the
pellets into your bucket. Also, store the
pellets in a dry place. Humidity/moisture is
your worse enemy. Otherwise, grilling and
smoking on a pellet grill is fun.
