5 Best Camp Chef Pellet Grills – Best Products from the Leading Manufacturer!

The Camp Chef DLX 24 is a standalone smoker, and you’ll have to assemble it upon unboxing. At first, we were afraid the assembly process would take a long time, but you can easily do it without bulky tools, even if it’s your first time using a pellet grill. This Camp Chef grill has a rack surface area of 570 sq.in., which is enough to feed your entire family. The hopper capacity is 18 lbs, and depending on how long you plan on cooking, you may not even have to refill the pellets. This is because it has an automatic auger that feeds just the right amount of pellets into the fire, ensuring you don’t use more than you actually need. The DLX 24 also has a PID controller, which allows you to monitor the temperatures of your meat with ease.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this grill is that almost everything is automated. This makes it easy to use, even for beginners. The DLX 24 also strikes the ideal balance between price and functionality, making it a great buy.

Why did it make our list?
• one of the least liked elements about grilling is the exhausting clean-up process that follows. We were highly impressed by the ash clean-out system. There's a cup underneath the burn chamber that collects most of the ash. All we had to do was empty the cup, and voila! We were done. We also loved its compatibility with other side attachments, including side sears and the automatic temperature control. The DLX 24 is also great for all your outdoor grilling needs.

What is not ideal about it?
• while the Camp Chef grill tries to balance out all the important elements, you can't sear your meats without adding a sear box. Yes, this is simply a propane grill that you fix on the side of the grill, but this small addition would enhance your cooking experience. Even though we were impressed by the ash collection system, it doesn't collect all the ash. This is, however, a small price to pay because this system makes cleaning up a whole lot easier.

The Camp Chef Woodwind pellet systems are amazing and are some of the leading high-end grills. The WIFI 24, in particular, is as versatile as they come and is built to last many years. At 150 pounds, it’s one of the heavier models, but it also comes with wheels for ease of portability. This Camp Chef grill has a hopper capacity of 22 lbs which can last you more than 12 hours. This especially comes in handy if you’re planning on slow-smoking your meats. Its temperature range is 160º F – 500ºF, which allows you to cook a variety of meals, and the slide and grill feature allows for direct grilling.

One of the most impressive elements of the Camp Chef Woodwind WIFI 24 is the Artisan Outdoor Oven that allows you to bake your favorite pastries, including pizza. It also comes with a Deluxe BBQ Grill Box that comes in handy if you enjoy making burgers.

Why are we impressed?
• the Woodwind WIFI 24 has a beautiful design, but we were most impressed by the Wifi connectivity feature. Grilling is an intensive and engaging activity. You have to keep checking on your meals so that they don't burn. This is especially inconvenient if you have other house chores or activities to attend to. With WIFI connectivity, you can easily monitor the temperature of your meals without leaving the comfort of your couch. The 811 sq. in. rack surface area is also large enough to cook meals for a large gathering.

What negatives must you be aware of?
• the Camp Chef Woodwind WIFI 24 has a centralized heat source. This means that the grates heat differently compared to those that use a propane grill. With the Woodwind WIFI 24, the pellets don't burn all the way through, and the long smokes cause the drip tray to become dirty. We had to maintain a regular cleaning schedule which was really inconvenient. For such a high-end grill, Camp Chef should introduce a better clean-up system.

Have you ever wanted to buy a grill but then looked at the price tag and decided it wasn’t a priority anymore? The Camp Chef LUX 36 model is proof that you can get a quality grill at a budget-friendly price. This device has a rack surface area of 874 sq. in., which is more than enough to fit two large flat briskets. One of the most tiresome tasks of grilling is setting fire to the pellets. This Chef Camp grill comes with an auto-ignition feature that takes away all the hassle. The Chef LUX 36 model also comes with a dual LED temperature readout that enhances accuracy. It lets you monitor both the cooking and internal food temperatures at the same time.

One of the features that sets this grill apart from the rest is the automatic auger that ensures consistent heat management. You no longer have to manually fuel the grill as this feature automatically channels the pellets into the burn area. This, combined with the autoignition feature, are a major timesaver.

What are our favorite features?
• we were majorly impressed by the auto ignition and the automatic auger features. They eliminate 2 of the most exhausting aspects of grilling; feeding the pellets manually and setting fire to them. We also loved the large rack surface area and the durable meat probe that made it easy to test the internal temperature of the meat. The smart smoke technology feature won our hearts as it allowed us to enjoy freshly smoked meat.

What could be better?
• for a budget-friendly grill, the Camp Chef LUX 36 is one of the best compared to other models within its price range. However, after constant use, we realized that the paint was chipping. If you don't mind aesthetics, this shouldn't be a major issue, but we would have loved it if camp chef used a more durable finish. This grill is also bulky and not suitable for small cookouts, but overall, it's a great buy for that price tag.

The Camp Chef Pursuit 20 grill is relatively small but has highly impressive features. It’s made from high-quality materials, and the stainless steel lid makes it aesthetically appealing. This grill comes with wheels for easy portability, and while this means that you can use it for campouts, it can only be used in areas that have electricity. The Camp Chef Pursuit 20 grill comes with dual LED temperature probes that allow you to monitor the temperature of the meat as well as that of the chamber. It also has the patented ash clean-out system that makes the clean-up process easy.

One of the features that set this model apart from the rest is the lever-activated slide grill technology that allows you to grill and smoke at the same time.

What stands out?
• we were first drawn to the beautiful construction of the Camp Chef Pursuit 20 grill, but it's the functionality that got us hooked. This model has an autoignition feature that speeds up the startup process and is portable. We also loved the ash clean-out system that collected most of the ash, making the clean-up process easy and the simple temperature controlling system. The automatic auger feature made it easy to operate the grill.

What cons did we manage to find?
• even though the Camp Chef Pursuit 20 lived up to its expectations, we didn't like the finishing as it started peeling after a few cycles of use. This did not impact its functionality, but it became less aesthetically pleasing. The assembly process was also slightly challenging, but if you follow the manual, you'll have an easier time. We noticed that the direct heat area did not fully cover the grill area, so we had to keep turning and flipping some of the meat.

The Camp Chef STX 24 is one of the best entry-level pellet grills in the market and has a few extra features. This device has an 18 lbs hopper that guarantees up to 18 hours of smoking, which is highly efficient compared to other models within the same price range. The Camp Chef STX 24 also comes with an ash clean-out system that makes it ridiculously easy to clean. Messy grills are a thing of the past! Its grill plate is medium capacity, but it’s enough to feed a small party.

Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the Camp Chef STX 24 grill is the LED display that has an integrated temperature lobe. This allows you to monitor the internal temperature of your grill with ease.

Why are we impressed?
• we loved the fact that despite the Camp Chef STX 24 being an entry-level grill, it has several technological features that are only available in high-end grills. This includes an internal auger for moving the wood pellets and an LED display. We also loved how smokeless the grill was and that it has a utility rack. Since we enjoy grilling in the backyard, the wheels came in handy when we had to get it out of the house.

What negatives must you be aware of?
• the Camp Chef STX 24 has more technology features than most entry-level grills and still promises the same functionality as high-end models. We, however, wished that it came with more space for large gatherings. This grill also lacks wifi connectivity or a transmitter and only offers localized readings. While this is still convenient, you have to keep hovering around the grill to avoid burning your meat. This is highly inconvenient, especially if you have guests or have other activities to do as you grill.
