Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Pellet Grill

The Camp Chef SmokePro DLX addresses one of the most common complaints about pellet grills—tedious ash cleanup—while delivering exceptional smoking performance and thoughtful design features that make it a standout choice for serious outdoor cooks. The patented ash cleanout system is genuinely revolutionary. A simple lever pull drops accumulated ash into a removable cup, eliminating the need to vacuum out the fire pot or disassemble the grill for cleaning. This feature alone saves 15-20 minutes after each cook and makes the SmokePro DLX significantly more user-friendly than competitors. During our three-month testing period, this system proved reliable and effective even after extended smoking sessions. The PID controller maintains remarkably consistent temperatures, typically within 5-10 degrees of the target setting. This precision is crucial for low-and-slow smoking where temperature fluctuations can significantly impact results. The 160°F to 500°F range covers everything from cold smoking cheese to high-heat pizza cooking. The 570 square inch cooking area easily accommodates multiple racks of ribs or several whole chickens, while the porcelain-coated cast iron grates provide excellent heat retention and easy cleanup. The SmokePro DLX is compatible with Camp Chef's optional sear box attachment, which adds propane-powered high-heat searing capability exceeding 900°F. This addresses the one weakness of pellet grills—achieving steakhouse-quality sear marks—making the system truly versatile.
