Looking at Camp Chef Woodwind


 
If no one here has experience with it perhaps you could look at reviews from Amazon. Take this with a grain of salt but if I were considering a pellet as a first smoker I would have a concern that I would soon want to migrate to a more conventional method such as that demonstrated by the WSM. Two years ago my first smoker was an electric unit and within two months I realized I wanted to learn and experiment with the WSM lineup, so I began purchasing their trio over many months (including Kettles). During this calendar year I used the electric only once and that was a few weeks ago when I smoked pecans for less than an hour. For my personal taste, I just thoroughly enjoy the experience of what goes into using charcoal; I like that it is relatively simple but also requires--on occasion--a little bit of intervention. I will confess, however, that during certain occasions of entertaining guests I fret that I carry the scent of charcoal, lol. But if I were an avid WSM/charcoal user and still felt a strong desire for a pellet smoker then the Woodwind would certainly be worthy of my consideration.
 
No experience with the Woodwind. I do however absolutely love my pellet grill (I have a Rec Tec). It provides me the ability to maintain precise temperatures while using a real wood fire as both the heat source and the smoke.

I still fire up my WSM occasionally just a lot less often.
