The Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24 is a pellet grill built around a feature most competitors skip: a built-in Smoke Box that lets you burn real wood chunks, chips, or charcoal alongside the standard pellet feed, delivering richer smoke than a pellet-only system. The Sidekick propane side burner adds high-heat searing up to 700°F+, making this a true all-in-one outdoor cooking station. Available on Amazon.ca (ASIN B0BL1WT3MK).
“"The Smoke Box is a game-changer. I threw in some apple wood chunks alongside cherry pellets and the smoke ring on my brisket looked like it came off an offset. This thing punches way above what I expected."”

“"Smoke number control is brilliant — I run it at 6 for ribs and 3 for chicken and the results are consistently better than anything I did on my old Traeger Pro. The Sidekick means I don't need a separate burner for searing anymore."”

“"Only complaint is the WiFi drops if I go more than 30 feet from my router. Not a dealbreaker since I can monitor via Bluetooth but the app loses connection more than it should."”

WiFi connectivity issues are among the most frequently reported problems in Camp Chef owner communities, including Smoking Meat Forums and r/pelletgrills — the antenna placement inside the metal hopper is widely cited as a design flaw that causes dropouts and connection failures, especially at range.

Owners in r/pelletgrills consistently raise that the 811 sq in stated capacity is misleading for the 24-inch model because the upper rack limits usable height — large cuts like full briskets or tall items require careful positioning, and some owners report the Pro 24 is smaller in practical terms than the spec sheet suggests.

Auger jams are a recurring topic in Camp Chef owner threads, particularly when using lower-quality or damp pellets — the reported fix requires clearing the jam manually, and a recurring theme is that the issue appears more frequently in Canadian winter conditions where pellet moisture levels vary.
Source: Reddit r/pelletgrillsOwner sentiment in r/pelletgrills consistently positions the Woodwind Pro 24 as one of the most versatile pellet grills available — the Smoke Box and Sidekick combination genuinely expands what a pellet grill can do, and the PID controller delivers temperature precision owners notice. The WiFi connectivity frustrations are real and recurring, but owners who accept that limitation — or position the grill close to their router — report high long-term satisfaction.
