Offset Smoker Ribs VS The Camp Chef Woodwind Pro | Is The Offset Quality HYPE True?

The Camp Chef Woodwind Pro smoke box CLAIMS to merges the flavour of an off set with the convenience of a pellet grill... I test them side by side to find out if the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro can compete with my Oklahoma Joes Highland offset smoker. Camp Chef provided this grill at no cost.

As always excellent controlled test James. I so enjoy these comparisons. Thanks.

[maxarrow]

This is a great break down. Something I never see in these type of side by side reviews is a breakdown on fuel used and that cost. It's definitely something to consider and I appreciated getting that in this video.

[eskimofoi]

Love your videos! Detail, honesty, pros/cons and dedication to accuracy help immensely as i am trying to choose my next smoker/grill. TY

[CoolJay]

Top notch video. I am often bewildered by those who don't appreciate the flavor advantage generated by stick burners. You have invested a great deal of time with the different types
of smokers, which makes this very convincing and valuable. I will share this as a reference with friends who are on the fence, just like I share your 101 cook videos for solid references.

Wow that was a lot of testing and information! Thanks James for explaining what you are doing and why as it allows me to understand more what is happen. Your details really do help me learn what are the strong and weak points to each grill. I hope youtube allows this to post because my post have been failing to post for months now.

[GavM]

Thanks for using the OJoe for the test. I’m getting great results with mine from watching your vids. The smaller splits have been a real game changer. Super clean smoke. Thanks as always!

[StephenBoucher]

I love everything about this series: host, production quality, and valid data to back it all up. Thanks for creating all of these great videos! Quick suggestion (I think you can do it post post) is to add a text overlay at 17:47 highlighting which rack is which (offset vs woodwind pro). Again thanks for this awesome content!

[Boscoh_]

Nice to find the Canadian version of me on YouTube. Thanks for the well researched, educated, informative review. Really appreciated and you got a new sub!

[jordanseitzinger]

Amazing review and comparison!! Thank you! Finally an honest and non biased comparison between the two styles. I’m still going to buy the woodwind bc I want to be able to spend time with the family and not be 5 steps from the grille all the time. But I feel so much better with the realistic expectations you gave.

[trito]

Great video, you have an amazing ability to translate what you are tasting into words!

[roberthyman]

Still have my KJ Jr. But stepped into a Recteq 380 pellet intro pellet smoker this past year and love their PID controller. Extremely tight temp control

[corycourtney]

Great info throughout. I enjoy the videos you post

[BrisketMedic]

Outstanding video. So much good information and well produced video.

[BBQ_Beto]

Great video James! I’ve owned every generation of Camp chef pellet smokers since 2015 and the WW Pro is by far the best pellet grill I’ve used and the best smoke flavor from a pellet.

[mike_adams]

Appreciate including the fuel cost comparison .. great episode!

[goodashbbq]

I would love to see a head-to-head-head of the 3 smokers you mentioned falling into the same category. MB1050, Camp Chef, and Konnected Joe. All have the WiFi connectivity, all will be about same level of effort, all close enough in price. I think it would be a unique and informative video!

[umakegoodcookies]

Very informative James... especially for the offset work issue. I was considering one but perhaps when I retire. :)

[Wakeywhodat]

I had no idea you were a Canuckian! Awesome video, I subbed. You do an excellent job conveying info.

[Pilot]

Outstanding comparison!! You are doing Great 👍 👍

[BabyDiego]

I'm thinking about getting this Camp Chef, thanks for this comparison. I was hoping you would say the smoke flavor was closer to the OK Joe but unfortunately that's not the case. I do own the Ok Joe Bronco and the Highland. I have a pellet grill and it works great for what it does but I think it's time for an upgrade to my pellet grill and the Camp Chef seems to be the ticket for me.
