Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 Grill

{"reviews":[{"id":6549830,"locale":"en_US","rating":3,"title":"Does the job","text":"This is a decent grill and puts really good smoke on anything you cook. The smoke box is the best part of it. It is fairly well built and I have had this over a year. I enjoy the ease of use. It is fairly easy to clean with one caveat I will list below. The stainless exterior has held up really well and I cook with it all the time. The 36 inch model has enough room to do 6 pork shoulders at 9 lbs each. \nNow the issues. First, the box looks like it has been through a war zone when you get it. Many others have lamented this. It really needs better packaging. Second, it gets really bad buildup where the lid touches the seal. Warm water and soap does not take it off. It becomes like sticky epoxy. This is within the span of one long cook. The seal already needs replacement but that is a moot point until I can figure out how to take this gunk off without damaging it.If you do short cooks you may not see this problem. I do a lot of cooks on it in excess of 14 hours.\nWould I buy it again, yes. I will eventually figure out a way to get the tar off it. Then I will likely look for a better seal. The tar formed because the seal is not tight.","textLength":1147,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"DVD777","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Illinois","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-04-24T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"ease of use","score":0.78},{"name":"grill temperature control","score":0.51},{"name":"smoke flavor","score":0.55},{"name":"cooking performance","score":0.56},{"name":"assembly quality","score":0.4},{"name":"build quality","score":0.51}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Camp Chef","siteUrl":"https://www.campchef.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2357_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"33246-PG36WWSB","title":"Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 Grill","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/33246-PG36WWSB","category":"pellet-grills","reviewCount":31,"ratingCount":31,"averageRating":3.8,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":3,"3":2,"4":4,"5":17},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6486475,"locale":"en_US","rating":2,"title":"missing part","text":"I bought this smoker in December 2024. I bought it from Lowes. I paid them to put it together. Lowes had inform me that there were 2 missing parts. I had emailed camp chef and they would mail me the part. I never received it. Even after calling and emailing they told me that it was back ordered. I needed the heat shield and the handle for the wood chips. Unfortunately I got tired of waiting and after 10 weeks I went to Camp Chef and order the part and PAID for the part. I ended up spending additional 40 for the 2 parts. Funny thing was that I got the part 5 days later but still have not received the part that I was told was on the way. The smoker is amazing but Paying for a part that should have been in the box was annoying. Waiting 10 plus weeks for it was bad enough. After spending 1500 I wished I would have gotten the traeger. Their customer service was much better.","textLength":898,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"kd14","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"wichita ks","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-04-02T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"smoke flavor","score":0.48}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Camp Chef","siteUrl":"https://www.campchef.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2357_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"33246-PG36WWSB","title":"Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 Grill","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/33246-PG36WWSB","category":"pellet-grills","reviewCount":31,"ratingCount":31,"averageRating":3.8,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":3,"3":2,"4":4,"5":17},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6486474,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Extremely Versatile","text":"I purchase this last month over other brands for it versatility as well as the smoke box feature which allows me to cold smoke or add more smoke flavor during my cook.

It gave me many years of reliable great Smokey food. Unfortunately it finally wore itself out and needed replaced. I decided to go with the bigger 36” pro coming from the original 24. I love all the cooking surface I have now no more crowding. It looks beautiful as well. The smoke box is a game changer no more need for smoke tubes. Coming from the original with one probe having 4 is so convenient and has simplified my cook. \n\nAs for the cons the app leaves a lot to be desired and was a major selling point for me. That being said the app is not good. I can see my temps change the temp but using all the features would be nice. However it’s impossible because trying to register the grill is impossible which you need to do to use all features it will never fully register and you can see negative reviews all over the App Store and apparently camp chef don’t care because they have done nothing to resolve it. I also question build quality my door will never close fully on its own. There is a noticeably larger gap from one side to the other and if you done manually force it closed I have a very large gap so it doesn’t seal well. These are disappointing considering how well built the original was. \n\nWill I be able to make a lot of good things with this grill absolutely however I would like to get everything I paid for and build quality should be better at the price point.","textLength":1462,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"BFMO","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Missouri","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-02-01T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"grill temperature control","score":0.5},{"name":"smoke flavor","score":0.54},{"name":"cooking performance","score":0.51},{"name":"temperature probe","score":0.54},{"name":"assembly quality","score":0.45},{"name":"build quality","score":0.6}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Camp Chef","siteUrl":"https://www.campchef.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2357_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"33246-PG36WWSB","title":"Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 Grill","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/33246-PG36WWSB","category":"pellet-grills","reviewCount":31,"ratingCount":31,"averageRating":3.8,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":3,"3":2,"4":4,"5":17},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6083496,"locale":"en_US","rating":3,"title":"Rust on the top rack","text":"Overall I like the unit, but the top rack is rusting after 4 months.","textLength":68,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"David777","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Los Angeles","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-01-30T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Camp Chef","siteUrl":"https://www.campchef.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2357_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"33246-PG36WWSB","title":"Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 Grill","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/33246-PG36WWSB","category":"pellet-grills","reviewCount":31,"ratingCount":31,"averageRating":3.8,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":3,"3":2,"4":4,"5":17},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6013077,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Damaged grill","text":"Product came in a terribly damaged box from fed\nEx.
