    First Time Smoked Dino Beef Ribs

    I wanted to smoke a couple of sides of beef back ribs, but couldn't find them at a couple of my meat sources. So, I opted for Dino (Plate) ribs which are from the front of the rib cage and are very meaty. I used Jeff's recipe for these as a guide, but varied a bit -- maple syrup as a binder and...

    Camp Chef Woodwind 36 Conversion??

    The new Woodwind Pro with the wood burner seems to be the answer to getting smoke flavor to meat as I get very little from my Woodwind. Two questions: 1) is there something I can use to burn wood in my WW? 2) Is there a way to trade in my WW for a WW Pro. I've asked Camp Chef these questions --...

    Last Two Smoked Briskets

    I have smoked 3 briskets and am batting .333. My first packer brisket, a prime from Costco, was perfect. The second packer was also a prime from Costco, which ended up dry and not too tender. And the third was a prewrapped corn beef flat from Costco. It ended up not tender and with a rubbery...

    Screwed Up a Packer Brisket

    Would appreciate any comments on how I screwed up a prime packer brisket. I monitored 3 probes in the brisket: flat, mid and point (temp profile attached). At stall, it was put in a covered aluminum pan for the rest of the smoke. It finished earlier than expected, so it rested for 5 hours. The...

    New Camp Chef Firmware

    I've not seen anything published about CC's new firmware, but it's a great improvement. You can set target temps, view and keep temp profiles for the box and probes and set a timer. There's probably more, but that's what I've used so far. Haven't tried downloading the profiles to see if they can...

    Modified Cooling Rack

    To minimize clean-up, some time ago, I bought a pair of cooling racks with trays suggested by Jeff. The racks actually sit down IN the tray, which, is okay for the indirect heat. But with pellet smokers not too good on producing smoke flavor, maybe raising the rack above the pan might help...

    Camp Chef and Smoke

    I have a CC Woodwind which I got last July and have been smoking a lot of meat because it's so easy to use. However, I needed a lot of smoke for the bacon I just made from Jeff's recipe (10-day brine, 6-8-hour smoke). I set the Smoke Number to 10, and the temp to 180F. At no time did I see...

    Packer Brisket Temp Difference`

    Smoking a 15 lb prime packer brisket. The flat temp is running about 20 F behind the point. When the flat gets to the stall, do I cut and wrap the flat and let the point continue? Thanks

    My "Cockspatched" Turkey

    I say cockspatched instead of spatchcocked because I carelessly removed the breast bone instead of the back bone. Nevertheless, I was able to spread out the carcass so that the breast skin was up. the smoked skin was flaccid and on the sweet side, probably because there was too much mayo/rub...

    Double Smoked Ham

    I want to do a double smoked maple syrup ham. Watching Jeff's video, it looks like the ham is a 10 pound boneless ham. Searching online, I'm having problems finding a whole ham that's boneless and spiral. Was the ham on the video actually boneless. Thanks

    Smoking Database

    I usually follow a recipe pretty closely, but often modify it. The next time I do the same smoke, I wonder how it was smoked the last time, and did I like it. I'm too techie to write things down, so I looked around for a for a database. A possibility was a contact database like ACT!, but...

    Marinade Didn't Take

    I tried making jerky on my new 36" Woodwind using the jerky racks. I thought 6 pounds of eye-of-round would fill the surfaces. It didn't. I could have smoked over 12 pounds. However, I had a problem, not with the Woodwind that performed perfectly, but with seasoning the jerky. We (my wife and...

    Extra set of Camp Chef Jerky Racks

    I ordered jerky racks with my 36" Woodwind. As I mentioned in a previous post, all 3 racks had sharp ends, with one particularly bad one. I asked CC if they'd like to have the rack returned. They said no, that they were going to replace it. Instead of just one rack, they sent another complete...

    Jerky Racks

    Got the jerky racks and installed them. Cut myself really good on a wire-end that had not been properly welded and finished. Is there any way to file or clip them down without ruining the finish? Thanks

    Better Camp Chef thermocouple?

    I just got a CC Woodwind and compared meat temperatures between its thermocouple, a digital thermometer and my Smoke which I know is pretty close to accurate and agrees with the digital. The tips of the digital and Smoke are 3/32 while the CC is 7/32. Is there a thermocouple with a thinner tip...

    First Cook -- Help Please

    My first cook is beef ribs -- 3 slabs. Set the temp at 225 and a thermocouple next to the grate reads217. I dialed the smoke, first tow 6 and no smoke.Dialed it up to 9. Still no smoke. How come?

    Referencing my complaint

    I appreciate getting responses to my shipping complaint. I didn't realize shippers were so backed up. Also, didn't think about how the size of the shipment affects companies like FedEx. Probably more practical for a freight company to handle this kind of bulk. Anyway, got the grill, and set it...

    Disappointed in Camp Chef

    I've read nothing but good reports about Camp Chef in this forum. That's why I'm pissed about what's happened to my order. And I can't blame this on COVID! In April, I ordered a 36" Woodwind with Sidekick jerky racks and patio cover. Delivery was to be in June. The jerky racks and patio cover...

    Temperature in the CampChef Woodwind

    I've ordered a CC 36" Woodwind which is replacing my Daniel Boone. On the Boone, there is a big temperature difference between the temperature set on the smoker and what's actually on the grill because the thermocouple is down by the firebox. I wondering if I'll have the same problem with the...
