Camp Chef 4+

I usually do not write about nor give bad reviews. However, camp chef app seem to been unreliable for me. Maybe it has something to do with connection issues. During my long over night cook I was not getting probe notifications nor did the probe seem to be working correctly. Had to pull out the ol’ reliable thermo pen. Just not happy with how notifications were not coming through when setting a probe for doneness.

My woodwind pro 36 does it all? Between the Wi-Fi connection the versatility of temperature control, smoke control, and being able to do it while I’m walking the isles of a grocery store with my wife is phenomenal.
The smoker has been well engineered. Well thought out and is the perfect addition to any backyard barbecue enthusiast. I absolutely love this smoker! I went from a Walmart brand Traeger to a Camp Chef and never regretted a minute of it. I know every opinion is open for debate. I’ve been smoking for quite some time and love the additions that Camp Chef has made to the woodwind pro series! I’ve done two turkeys at a time. Six chickens at a time, multiple racks of baby back ribs at a time, 2 briskets at a time, and much more. This thing gives a perfect flavor of smoke, convenience, and versatility that I was looking for. well done Camp Chef your engineers need a pat on the back! Thank you for some of the most memorable family get-togethers I’ve ever had! Love your products!

My first cook was an overnight pork shoulder. The smoker seemed to start connected to both WiFi and Bluetooth pretty reliably. But about 20% of the time I'd open the app to check on temps, the app would just close suddenly. No big deal, reopen and try again. Small annoyance.
The real annoyance was the prone temp display in the app. When I hit about the 140s (and stall), the temp in the app read "1..." as if the font was too large to display the digits. I would have to open the graph (nice feature though) and scroll to the most recent reading and see the temp there. Major oversight on the app creator to not test the display to make sure all digits fit on the screen.
Those are my two gripes with the app. Otherwise, I'd call it maybe too simple. There's room for improvement for sure. Such as if you're not using the second probe, don't display the blank data that just takes up screen space. I'm nitpicking, but this is an honest review. The smoker works great otherwise!
