Jon, that Smoke Daddy diffuser looks like a great way to get that stick burner flavor. Barb and I are completely happy with the flavors we get from the pellets and occasionally using a pellet smoking tube. We are not big fans of a heavy smoky flavor.Rich,
You have a great, rock solid pellet grill. I decided my “fix” for now is the special deflector made by Smoke Daddy costing about a hundred bucks. It holds wood chunks, or even a whole smaller stick, and burns them slowly to add smoke very similar to what the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro does with that push in box.

I hope to try out soon. Let me be the guinea pig. If it works well, you can do the same on your Camp Chef.
As for the Camp Chef it is getting upgraded to a new PID controller, picked one up when Amazon had their big sale for $50 the exact same controller CC sells for $150. After a couple of hundred cooks the old controller was acting flaky so a new controller and temperature probe it will be good to go.
