Jeremy looked so defeated haha. The way he just sat and stared at the briskets after the decision. 😂
Every time you and Bradley get together it's a good time! I'm so happy the inner scientist let the data show the results as they are and not let your preferences shine.
It would be great to see a video where 20+ participants with varying levels of BBQ knowledge and experience, who don’t know the variable ahead of time, do a blind triangle taste test to see if they can pick the odd one out and then, if they can, ask them which they preferred. This would still be a single data point, but I think would be more interesting than a side by side comparison because you’re already biased to “what’s the difference between these two,” and especially if you know the variable.

Great video guys. I've come to realize that if you're really in the game, having both (offset and quality pellet grill, I have the Yoder) is the conundrum we love to have, because it's the game of figuring out which one is the 'right' one for the situation that keeps us watching these vids and running our pits. Our loved ones doing the sampling get the benefits while we ponder the results. These are the kind of sleepless nights that I enjoy :).

For long cooks I start on my offset then move to my Weber Smokey Mountain with temp controller, for lazy cooks I used Weber Smokey Mountain and my pellet grill is like my outside oven.
Hey Jeremy and crew! You're the reason I own the Woodwind Pro. I have followed you for nearly a year now and very much enjoyed the content. I think having the Woodwind Pro on the market is amazing because my weekends are packed and I don't have time to watch over a grill right now. I love running the pellet at night and trusting it will keep things incredibly consistent. Just know that I still think and practice a lot of your preferred methods of smoking that you use on the big offsets. I started with a little PK Grill and made great stuff there as well. Thanks for the comparison and the videos over the last few years.
Such a great comparison, pretty amazing for camp chef to be able to stand up to an offset. I wish there was more detail in the video about the process on the camp chef, type of wood chunks, how often we're they out in, what kind of pellets, was there a water pan, ect. Would love to hear about those so we could try and replicate those results!
I love the fact that Brad left the blind fold on as long as he did. That was hilarious. I'd be curious to see a comparison between a gravity fed with wood chunks in the ash bin and an offset.
I plan on buying a kamado grill soon, and this motivates me to figure how best to smoke briskets on it. Because it’s clear you can still get really good smoke with a little wood. Although the bark on the pellet wasn’t as strong in this video. Brad even stated the offset was barkier in the blind test.
Man I love this… I love smoking meat. Cool to see all the guys I follow in bbq! I’m in San Antonio love to catch you guys in action.
Drop the mike! Great video that clearly allows your viewers to decide for themselves what approach will best fit their needs (especially the time/hassel demand) to make great Texas Style Brisket! My only question is (in case I missed it in the video) is what type of wood pellets and chunks were used in the Woodwind Pro? Thanks to all y'all!
I don’t know why it’s so hard to come over to the pellet side. It’s so easy and the results are consistently awesome!

Great honest review. This ought to be repeated on shorter cooks, such as smoking pork ribs. The brisket was left unwrapped for long hours in the pellet smoker. I wonder if the pellet grill will rival the offset on a shorter time of exposure to smoke.
I love these type of videos!
Definitely agree on the paper wrap, best with tallow, it has produced the best brisket for me, either in camp chef or wood and charcoal barrel
Thank you Jeremy for doing this.. So many folks slam a pellet smoker. A lot of times it is so much easier convenient to throw any protein on one and just go about your day instead of having to sit and "baby sit" an off smoker. They are both great at works best for you. I love them both...

I have done about a half dozen cooks on my Camp Chef Pro and they have all been successful. When I re-heat the leftover frozen meat in the microwave my kitchen smells like a campfire. It's crazy how much smoke it retains. I use all purpose Pit Boss Competition pellets and then experiment with different flavor B&B/Weber wood chucks/chips based on the meat. I really throw a lot in that smoke box for as long as I can because it does end up tasting great with good bark, and it's just more fun that way.

I have the woodwind pro as well. Yeah its not a offset smoker but still gives of really good smoke. I noticed when you added the wood chunks you turned the handle right off the bat, i always let mine burn about 5-10 minutes first then turn it so it can smolder. Im still pretty new to this smoker, i was just under the impression to leave the lever down first so the chunks can catch fire
I use a Cookshack FEC100 and there is an accessory called the PA026 that lets me put wood chucks on top of the fire box. I also use a Pitts & Spitts smoke cage and throw on wood chunks here and there when I remember. I think the smoke flavor is indistinguishable from an offset smoker.

Either way, it’s reputedly in a league of its own in terms of smoke flavor on a pellet grill (before the Camp Chef one that takes wood chunks came out, anyway, I haven’t seen the two compared), you can easily remove the ash without having to take all the grates and such out unlike all the other ones, you can cook with charcoal in it with an insert they sell, and the whole thing is 1/4” steel, so it’s just built like a tank compared to most on the market.

WW Pro owner here. I have found that using an Activated Charcoal Rub helps create the bark that an offset does, and using the foil boat method works wonders on leaving the fat cap exposed longer and rendering it better. The other trick that works best for a pellet smoker is to trim the fat more than you would with an offset. It helps the bark set up easier as well. I also smoke it longer and lower temp, then rest it over night in the cooler. My brisket are coming out spectacular with very minimal effort on my part.

Gotta use mesquite pellets on a pellet grill. The extra richness of mesquite really helps on a pellet grill versus an offset.

Hey Jeremy! If you use the Cuisnart Woodcreek pellet grill, you can add wood and charcoal inside the cooking chamber while running pellets. This actually makes the Woodcreek MORE versatile even for searing and cooking kebabs. I don't think they intended for it to be used this way, but it works and I also don't think any manufacturer is going to repeat this type of pellet cooker versatility that the Woodcreek has ever again.

@matthewlblair just put a few lit lump coals and some wood on the charcoal tray and set it to 225 or whatever you like. Let the wood start burning. You can put bricks as a barrier between the fire and the meat. You can also get the wood started just setting the temp to 350 or above and giving it time, but I usually only do that for reverse sears, having the Woodcreek already fully loaded with charcoal and wood during the smoking process.
@14:06 Jeremy looks absolutely CRUSHED! Questioning a lot of life choices. Don't neglect, Chud said the offset did have better bark and classic offset flavor.

From what I’ve seen on you tube the Woodwind Pro burns through the wood chunks in their smoke box every 30 to 40 minutes which then requires you to refill the box to keep the wood chunk smoke flowing. Sounds like the same baby sitting as an offset. The Lone Star with 50% wood chips/ 50% pellet blend truly allows you to get close to offset flavor in a true set it and forget it mode.

There are also different settings on the camp chef to allow more burn or less. I think the first few hours of smoking are the time to truly pump the smoke flavor into the meat. So for me, the set it and forget it nature of the Camp Chef shines after the first handful of hours. Like overnight. Or start early in the morning and just cruise through the rest of the day. Cool note about that other grill though!

@@cablebfg I was able to finally do an overnighter without waking numerous times throughout the night like I did with my ceramic. I loved my ceramic, but I could not set alarms on it, nor could I monitor it nor could I add more wood during the cook easily. As I stated before, my wife liked the ceramic products, but she absolutely loves what the camp chef is putting out.
Awesome video! On the fence with the woodwind pro. What smoke level setting was the woodwind set to? 10? Also what type of wood chunks did you use?

Pretty sure it was set to 7.. it's my usual "go-to" setting.

@@SmokeAndVine that’s good to know! Is 10 “too” much smoke?

I have both! I cook in my offset to 165 After wrap it goes on my camp chef to finish it off
Jeremy, do one in a smokein it smoker. It will blow you away. I do briskets all the time, and people can't believe it.
Thank you for the honest feedback. As usual excellent content. Please review the Recteq 700. I really want to know. I have a very small back yard. I am seriously considering an offset. The problem is there isn’t room for both. Anyway thanks for another great video.

Can you get a reliable wood source (not $$$ store bought)? If so- Get the Stick Burner!

I'd be curious to see if something like this would be possible with another pellet smoker if you used a smoke tube or something with chunks/chips to see if that helps or if it's more that little wood chunk chamber the Woodwind Pro has. Very interesting they're that close.
I drove 6 hrs each way to go pick up a woodwind pro 34 as they aren’t available in Canada . Found a store in Kingston ON that had a few on hand ( brought in from the US I guess )
Very solid and reflects my own experience. WW Pro is such a game changer. Weeknight briskets are a thing of the now! Great video! Loved that music! ✌️
