Rated 7.6/10 from 173 buyer reviews and its specs. Made for set-and-check smoking with a real sear at the end.
The Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
The classic pellet grill weak spot is the sear. This one lets the flame reach the food, so steaks and smash burgers get a real crust.
Check the pit and the meat from the couch, and on most apps nudge the temperature too. Gold on a 12-hour brisket that starts at 5 a.m.
A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.
The big change is the leash: with the WiFi app you start the brisket at dawn, go back to bed and check the pit from your phone.
Steak night stops being the weak spot: the direct-flame option lets the fire reach the meat, so you get a crust and not just smoke.
After the cook, the cleanout system makes the ash and pellet swap a two-minute job.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.
Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.
Cook day. Per the listing, you can set the temperature and watch it from your phone, track the meat with the probe in the box and finish with a direct-flame sear.
Buyers give it 4.3/5, a solid record, slightly below our ranked picks' 4.4 average. 173 reviews is a fair sample, enough for the average to mean something.

What we'd buy the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 for is a direct-flame sear option, with WiFi and Bluetooth control as a bonus. 173 buyers give it 4.3/5, which is a solid sign. The one thing that bugs us: no stated cooking area, while most grills here give one. We'd pick it if you want steaks with a crust, not just smoked meat; otherwise, put it next to the Traeger Woodridge Pro first.
Before the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 lands on your porch, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.
No cooking area is stated. Ask the seller for the main grate size, then lay out your usual cook in our grate area planner.
It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.
No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.
The listing mentions an easy cleanout. Still plan to vacuum the fire pot every few cooks and change the grease bucket liner.

Pick the Traeger Woodridge Pro if you want our higher-rated option (7.8/10), with more cooking space (970 sq in); stay with the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 for a direct-flame sear option and a PID controller.
We rate it 7.6/10 (very good). It is based on 173 buyer reviews averaging 4.3/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.
Its listing states a direct-flame sear option, WiFi and Bluetooth control, a PID controller, a meat probe in the box and an easy ash or pellet cleanout. Those are the seller's figures; how it holds temperature in your own wind and weather can't be read from a listing.
How much you really cook: no cooking area is stated. Ask the seller for the main grate size, then lay out your usual cook in our grate area planner. Power at the spot: it plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord. Pellets and long cooks: no hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then. Cleaning: the listing mentions an easy cleanout. Still plan to vacuum the fire pot every few cooks and change the grease bucket liner.
