Excellent smoker but some corrosion issues
I've had this smoker for about a year and a half. I love it. Great temperature and smike control, either at the grill or on my phone via the Camp Chef app. I love the fact that there's 4 probes so that you can track 4 separate items individually with alarms for each.I got the side propane grill which i use a lot for smoking then seartng my steaks. If you haven't tried this you're missing out on some incredible flavor.The app and bluetooth controls aren't the best but work pretty well... most of the time.My biggest issue is the corrosion in getting on the front of the grill. It started within the first year and i can't ignore it any longer without real damage setting in. I'm going in on it today after purchasing an expensive can of high temp paint to use after i clean it down to bare metal.I'm not sure if this was from seepage from the cover or what, but a little more R&D into that issue would go a long way towards this being a 5 star all around unit.

Well Thought out Product
This Campchef Woodwind grill is very, very good and has exceeded my expectations. It was easy to assemble, is easy to use, and produces great results. The ability to quickly clean up the ashes by removing the ash cup is a time saver and an example of how well thought out the product is. There are several video reviews out there that can explain how good this grill is, it's key features, and comparisons to other grills much better than I can.A few key points: The grill holds temperature and the smoke adjustments give the meats a great flavor and smoke ring, the ash clean up takes a few second and no vacuuming out or disassembly is required, changing pellets from one wood to another is quick and simple. A few reviews here have said they had issues with Wi-Fi connectively, I have had no problems. I set it go back inside and let it cook until the meat reaches the desired temperature. The only thing I have to do is occasionally go out spritz the meat to keep it moist. The side box sear feature allows steaks to have the prefect sear whether you are doing it at the beginning or end of the cooking process.I was fully expecting the grill to be damaged when it arrived. I took photos of the box in anticipation of having to send it back when I saw the condition the box was in. It looked as though someone had beat the box with a baseball bat. To my surprise, when I unpacked it, the grill had absolutely no damage at all. Campchef did a great job of padding and protecting the grill to survive the abuses of shipping.

Perfect even temps
I love this grill/smoker. It's my second smoker and this is well worth the money. It's built well. Very solid. It looks good, if that means anything. But for me is the steady heat. You can set the smoke setting anywhere from 1 to 10. 10 gives you the most temperature variation. At 10 the temp only varies 8 to 10 degrees for me. I cooked a 12 lb brisket the other day and it came out perfect. It was a 12 hour cook with the smoke setting on 10 and it turned out perfect. I'm not going to go over all the features. That's for the sales people. I'm just telling you that if you want steady consistent temperatures this is the smoker for you.

Well built
Works well ! Only used 3 times so far . Had a issue with the WiFi but I moved my router closer 15 ft. And that made the signal much better. The temperature seams to fluctuate a bit 15–20 degrees up or down from target temp Not real happy with the shipping , the box was pretty beat up ! Fed ex. Other than a few scratches on the shelf and had to straighten the upper housing where the hood closes just a touch it survived. Wish I could send pictures.

Used once...Auger and fan no longer working.
Received the Camp Chef 24 in. WIFI Woodwind Pellet Grill & Smoker with Sear Box on June 10th. Used it once with good results and today, on June 19th, I was about to use it the second time when I discovered that the auger and fan motor no longer function. Power is on, fuse is good, nothing. It was stored inside a dry garage so the pellets didn't absorb any moisture so it's not a damp or wet pellet issue. It's Sunday and now I sit here with my seasoned and prepared meats and won't be able to get in touch with support until Monday. Thanks a lot Camp Chef. Should have went to a local distributor and bought a Pit Boss.Update...After disassembly and re-assembly of the auger it now functions. The auger was plugged and frozen with bone dry Pit Boss pellets. The process of research and repair was about 3 hours. If this becomes a reoccurring event the product will be junked.

Food turns out great every time!
My husband loves this grill! This is his second one. He bought a newer model and passed his other one down to his son. The food comes out perfectly! He can control the temp using the phone app. The searing grill is nice , too!

Woodwind pellet grill has been a breeze.
I bought this grill for Xmas and used it in mid winter here in Ohio. Setup and use are easy and the Bluetooth WiFi connection allowed me to stay inside and monitor my grilling progress while it was in the teens outside. I wish the side sear plate were twice as hot though. That’s my only complaint is the lack of BTUs in the sear plate
