I have a Camp Chef grill that I haven't cleaned yet and this video was exactly what I needed. You didn't cover cleaning products that could be helpful but this covers the physical cleaning necessary. Thanks bud.
JdK 52 This one covers that part. I typically only use the mechanical part.

Great video, but I have a couple of additional items for you to mention. I have been cooking with my DLX Pro model for just over 3 years without any problems. Lately I keep getting a "flame" out and it made my smoker worthless. I followed all the instructions in the manual that came with it and it only casually mentioned cleaning the grate that exits into the chimney. Make sure to clean that grate off regularly or the smoke won't be able to escape the grill and it will smother the flame. ALSO, a quick call to Camp Chef and a young lady told me to not only clean off the chimney grate, but to clean the temperature control arm also located inside the cooking grill area. It is located on the left side and it is about 10 inches long. Mine was so cruddy I had to scrape the gunk off it. Once down to the original silver color, the grill is working like new again!

Thank you for your info and reply... suddenly my temp has been swinging wildly... like + or - 50 to 60 degrees and won't heat higher than about 250 degrees max. I've had the Camp Chef about 1 1/2 yrs and it was Great the first year... then about the end of the year (with regular cleanings about ever 5 to 10 cookings)... Augur Quit! I replaced the augur but that didn't fix it. customer support was very good and gave me the help I needed and I upgraded the Controller to the Dual Thermometer Controller... it worked great for about 4 cookings and then started this problem with temp. it will heat up to about 300 degrees hold that about 10 minutes then go down in temp to about 160 degrees... then up to about 250 degrees and back down to 120 and up 200 down to 120 up to 220 and so forth... I just received a new inside thermometer but have not installed it you... I've cleaned (like you showed, each time I've tried a new) I've cleaned the inside thermometer but the customer service suggested I clean the Chimney but not sure how to go about it.... the way it is made... sorry for the lengthy comment but I'm getting desperate... Grill Not Usable and now spent almost as much and new grill... kdb
I would hit up Customer service again. I can't see how your chimney could be so clogged as to cause this problem. No Way! People cook a lot on solid fuel grills and cookers all the time and never clean the chimney. Probably need to replace the controller. If you don't get a decent answer from the person on customer support, i'd politely ask for a supervisor.
Did you ever get your problem solved? I have almost exactly the same problem on my Camp Chef. I had a fire in my CC and the auger motor was bad. Camp Chef sent me a new auger motor which now work fine but I can’t seem to get it past 255 degrees. If you had any success I’d be interested in what you found. Thanks.
Just want to say you are a scholar and a gentleman for this video. Had no idea what I was doing. Also never put foil on the drop tray so it's absolutely caked with grease. With this video I now know to put foil on it to make cleaning easier. As an aside, any idea how to clean the drip tray caked with grease? Anyway great video!
@unsoldado03 Yep, Putty knife! (Metal one not plastic) and little elbow grease haha. an easy off oven cleaner soak might help if it's really baked on.

My husband has his 2nd broken pellet stove. If he does not empty all pellets from the box after each use, the humidity in FL makes them wet. Very frustrating. Actually, he says they crumble and can become a cement. He is switching pellets, but the newest pellets he tried were worse. He uses his grill every weekend. This is not after non-use.
marybeth browder the grilling pellets are different than the heating ones for sure. A lot of humidity over time can still hurt them but not if you are using them up pretty regularly.

Not clean enough. I just came across this video after having a grease fire in mine. The parts of the grill in between the drip tray and grease bucket need cleaning too! The channel which right side of drip tray rests in and tube that goes from this channel to grease bucket must be cleaned. Mine backed up with grease, caught on fire really good and now I have to also clean fire extinguisher chemicals out of my heavenly Camp Chef pellet grill.

Gary Eyten I have not seen that one. I don't understand how the drip tray could guide the grease to the bucket with slots. If they are raised I guess it would work. Try it and see.

Thanks for the tips Scott! I just ordered the Grill Grates for my Sear Box and love them. I am going gung ho on the Grill Grates wagon and have a question for you. For the Smoker, would you recommend doing a full Grill Grates install or do you prefer the partial coverage method that you show in this video?
Joey Fletcher I have the entire "cookable" surface covered. You don't want them hanging over the grease tray on a pellet grill! otherwise you'll end up with grease in the grill and big mess.

Great video how about the pellets our sales guy said we need to empty them every time we use it. We did and it was so slow we are sorry we bought the grill
Nah. If you keep the grill in a dry place they'll be fine. No problem. If you are going to store it for a long time, (months) then yes put them in something sealed.
@@scottnra I am new to the Camp Chef (Christmas 2020) and have kept my Wood Wind outside mostly uncovered and have never emptied the hopper. I have not had an issue yet.

You will still need to vacuum once in a while. I do it about every 20 cooks or so. basically when you have to clean the grease tray, might as well vacuum too.
Hey Scott, thanks for the videos. Couple questions for you. Do you think the new Camp Chef SG is worth the extra $$$ over a SmokePro with Sear Box? How do you like the Slide and Grill feature? Does it work? Does the new drip pan with louvered slits get dirtier? Can you cover it with foil? If you have Slide and Grill, Sear Box, and GrillGrates is all that overkill? Looking to get into pellet grilling and value your advice. Thanks!
I don't have the new one so I'm not sure how to answer those specific questions. Seems to me if you use the slide & Grill thing, you'd REALLY want to add grill grates to it. www.grillgrate.com I use them anyway and it makes "grilling" on a pellet grill at higher temps work a lot better. With the side Sear Burner I don't know if it really makes a difference but again I don't have one. I can tell you the Woodwind I have quickly became my favorite grill to cook on. I love the clean outs and have gone untold numbers of cooks in between "cleanings". I think it's well worth the investment. Thank you for watching.

My camp chef pellet stove has been covered for the last few months. I just uncovered it and noticed that the SS Hood is showing rust spots on the top as well as my sear box which also has a SS top. How do I clean that or get rid of the rust spots without damaging the stainless steel or scratching it. Thanks
K Kay You're going to scratch it up some to remove rust. Use a scotch bright pad, and once you have it cleaned up try to make the scratches go the same way as the original and it will look a lot better than rust. I do the same to clean my kitchen sink.

Good Question. It dumps the burn pot. you don't have to vacuum the inside very often. I probably go up to 15 - 20 cooks in between. If you don't dump the burn pot it won't even light after the 2nd or 3rd cook due to ash build up there. So less cleaning!
Kenneth D. Bryant I have a video on my cleaning process here: ruclips.net/video/EAYzOfllS2o/видео.html I have not had to get into the chimney yet but the inside of lid gets scraped with a putty knife and that's about it.

Stewart Adelman You have to put it on the "Feed" setting until you run them all into the ash cup with the ash dump door open. Or just run it and let them light.

Russ Stoker YES! If your grates overlap the drip tray you'd get grease past it into the barrel of the grill and past the grease management system. Good Question. Pellet grills really should not be cooked on on all the way to the edges for this reason with or without Grill Grates. Thank you for watching!

The grill Grates concentrate the heat to the surface of the grates giving better searing and grill marks. (Something pellets grills are not really good at) They also make meat grilled at higher temps more juicy. I have them on all of my grills and have for many years now.
@@scottnra thanx. I have the camp chef sear box companion with my pellet grill. So I will smoke my chicken / pork / steak then put them on the sear box for the final cook. I enjoyed your video and cleaned mine the same way
Grill Grates concentrate the heat to the raised rails giving you a better sear. When the juices drip into the valleys they sizzle off creating the flavor infusing smoke of grilled food you just don't get when it falls down into the grill! They heat up much faster than steel or Cast iron and also give a bit of an infrared cooking effect. The camp chef, like most pellet grills struggles to get the grates "HOT" for searing or even making good grill marks. (Marks are extra texture and flavor as well as just appearance) The grill Grates sure that. Also the Grill Grates on the sear station heat up way faster than the CI grates and do a much better job on those reverse sear steaks! (Check that video out too!) This is why I say Grill Grates make every grill BETTER. It's also why all of my grills have them. Hope that helps.

@@scottnra Thanks Scott! Happy Thanksgiving!
Great video how about the pellets our sales guy said we need to empty them every time we use it. We did and it was so slow we are sorry we bought the grill
Nah. If you keep the grill in a dry place they'll be fine. No problem. If you are going to store it for a long time, (months) then yes put them in something sealed.
@@scottnra I am new to the Camp Chef (Christmas 2020) and have kept my Wood Wind outside mostly uncovered and have never emptied the hopper. I have not had an issue yet.
How do I shut off this smoker after a cook
I just bought it used .
Tom Varga turn off the switch, close the lid and walk away. The pellets on the burn pot will go out and it will cool down.

Ok. Dumb question. Sorry. Is there any vacuuming necessary or does all of the ash just come out into that cup?
You will still need to vacuum once in a while. I do it about every 20 cooks or so. basically when you have to clean the grease tray, might as well vacuum too.
@@scottnra thanks for getting back to me! Ease of cleanup has been one of my concerns. Glad to hear it has an easy way to dump most of the ash
Hey Scott, thanks for the videos. Couple questions for you. Do you think the new Camp Chef SG is worth the extra $$$ over a SmokePro with Sear Box? How do you like the Slide and Grill feature? Does it work? Does the new drip pan with louvered slits get dirtier? Can you cover it with foil? If you have Slide and Grill, Sear Box, and GrillGrates is all that overkill? Looking to get into pellet grilling and value your advice. Thanks!
I don't have the new one so I'm not sure how to answer those specific questions. Seems to me if you use the slide & Grill thing, you'd REALLY want to add grill grates to it. www.grillgrate.com I use them anyway and it makes "grilling" on a pellet grill at higher temps work a lot better. With the side Sear Burner I don't know if it really makes a difference but again I don't have one. I can tell you the Woodwind I have quickly became my favorite grill to cook on. I love the clean outs and have gone untold numbers of cooks in between "cleanings". I think it's well worth the investment.

My camp chef pellet stove has been covered for the last few months. I just uncovered it and noticed that the SS Hood is showing rust spots on the top as well as my sear box which also has a SS top. How do I clean that or get rid of the rust spots without damaging the stainless steel or scratching it. Thanks
K Kay You're going to scratch it up some to remove rust. Use a scotch bright pad, and once you have it cleaned up try to make the scratches go the same way as the original and it will look a lot better than rust. I do the same to clean my kitchen sink. I hope that helps.

How do you clean the outside?
JCGood Question. Mainly simply wiping it down but the SS takes a bit more if you want it to stay nice. This video covers that part. ruclips.net/video/Wl8l5u4kwgs/видео.html

Whats the use of the ash cup when you still got to vacuum inside
Good Question. It dumps the burn pot. you don't have to vacuum the inside very often. I probably go up to 15 - 20 cooks in between. If you don't dump the burn pot it won't even light after the 2nd or 3rd cook due to ash build up there. So less cleaning!
what about degreasing the sides and especially the chimney?
Kenneth D. Bryant I have a video on my cleaning process here: ruclips.net/video/EAYzOfllS2o/видео.html I have not had to get into the chimney yet but the inside of lid gets scraped with a putty knife and that's about it. The bottom of the grill should not be getting greasy. A putty knife is the best grill cleaner I've found yet haha.

the ash cleanout on mine sticks really bad, ive only had it a month and havent skipped any days cleaning out the ash cup. suggestions?
James Rowenhorst Mine stuck some too when I first got it. Once I used it a bit it freed up and works great without any adjustments on my part. I think it just needs to "Break in" a bit.

I have a new Woodwind. If I want to change the pellet wood how do I empty the feeder tube so I can start with the proper wood pellets?
Stewart Adelman You have to put it on the "Feed" setting until you run them all into the ash cup with the ash dump door open. Or just run it and let them light. You'll probably burn up almost all of them just getting it up to temp. I hope that helps.

Thx!
I ordered the Grill Grates for my Woodwind 24”. Why is there gaps on both the length & width? Is there a benefit?
Russ Stoker YES! If your grates overlap the drip tray you'd get grease past it into the barrel of the grill and past the grease management system. Good Question. Pellet grills really should not be cooked on on all the way to the edges for this reason with or without Grill Grates.

I have a Camp Chef Pellet Grill DLX. What does the grill grate do for you? I just have the regular bar type grate
The grill Grates concentrate the heat to the surface of the grates giving better searing and grill marks. (Something pellets grills are not really good at) They also make meat grilled at higher temps more juicy. I have them on all of my grills and have for many years now.
@@scottnra thanx. I have the camp chef sear box companion with my pellet grill. So I will smoke my chicken / pork / steak then put them on the sear box for the final cook. I enjoyed your video and cleaned mine the same way
What is the point in the grill grate?
Matt Benson wondering the same thing.
Grill Grates concentrate the heat to the raised rails giving you a better sear. When the juices drip into the valleys they sizzle off creating the flavor infusing smoke of grilled food you just don't get when it falls down into the grill! They heat up much faster than steel or Cast iron and also give a bit of an infrared cooking effect. The camp chef, like most pellet grills struggles to get the grates "HOT" for searing or even making good grill marks. (Marks are extra texture and flavor as well as just appearance) The grill Grates sure that. Also the Grill Grates on the sear station heat up way faster than the CI grates and do a much better job on those reverse sear steaks! (Check that video out too!) This is why I say Grill Grates make every grill BETTER. It's also why all of my grills have them. Hope that helps.
