What Reddit Says
"Switched from a Traeger Pro 575 to the Woodwind and it's not even close. The Slide and Grill alone makes it worth the jump. Actually searing on a pellet grill now."
"Love the grill, hate the app. Camp Chef Connect crashes constantly and loses connection mid-cook. Just use a standalone thermometer and save yourself the headache."
"Dollar for dollar Camp Chef beats Traeger every time. Same PID controller tech, better features, lower price. Traeger is paying for marketing."
