I put this Wi-Fi-controlled grill to the test by simultaneously smoking 7 different types of meat from my couch. Everything cooked evenly and tasted great.

A pellet grill is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to smoke, grill, or even bake outside, and Camp Chef's Woodwind Wifi grill expands your options exponentially, thanks to its bevy of accessories.
With cooking temperatures from 160 degrees Fahrenheit to 450, you can perform any task you would on a charcoal or propane grill, but with more control and less hassle — all from the comfort of your couch.
We've been putting Camp Chef's Woodwind Wifi 24 to the test for nine months. Here's why we think it's your best option if you're in the market for an outdoor grill.
Camp Chef is in its 30th year, but the brand, best known for its camp stoves, has finally ventured into the pellet grill market with its three-in-one Woodwind, which functions as a grill, smoker, and oven. You can also buy add-on accessories like a pizza oven box, a high-powered 28,000-BTU side burner, a searing box, and more.
Suffice it to say that with this grill, your outdoor cooking endeavors are only as limited as your imagination. Yes, dear reader, that does read exactly like a shameless QVC plug, but please read on, and let us extol the virtues of this remarkable piece of wood-fired equipment.

Grilling and reverse-searing with the Sidekick
The Sidekick is sort of the piece de resistance, at least when grilling (as opposed to smoking) bigger cuts of meat.
