Got an email about this today.  Seems like a great price.  Not sure I like the design for the drip pan.  I don't know if the front opens up to pull it out or if you need to remove racks to lift it out.  If I was in the market for something with a lot of capacity, this may be an interesting option.

As stated, seems like a lot of capacity and an excellent price!

They have a good capacity. There is at least one place that gas it for 599.00 There is a few reviews on the Camp Chef smokers smoker Facebook group.

I have a xxl coming and should be here weds.  My first pellet smoker.  I wanted a tec tec but never could pull the trigger because I have a number of cookers that do the same thing kind of. But the xxl peaked my interest and ive been waiting for it to be released. Just hope it can hold up full of food in 20-30 degree days.

Welding blanket time, Bigtoot.

I like the capacity of this cooker as well, looking forward to seeing how this performs for the price it's going to be a touch act to follow.

I must admit that I really like this initially. The footprint being #1.  I have little deck space, and this would fit quite nicely.
If they could only make a door that opened to the right. I'd be sold on that alone.

A lovely young woman named Milissa who runs a Camp Chef user group on Facebook,  got one a week or so ago.  I haven't heard anything about it yet from her, but then I wasn't specifically looking for anything either.

If I didn't have so many grills already, I would like into buying one of these grills.  The amount of cooking space per $ spent is off the charts and if it can get down to 150 that would be great for jerky.

What he said...   if that thing will get close to 150F and stay lit... it'd be great for jerky,  bacon, ham...   if it'll do at least 300F it'd be great for lots of stuff too... temperature variation top to bottom would be my other concern...

But... well I do have enough pellet grills and rarely fill my PG500.

What are your thoughts on this smoker?

Myself and another person has looked into these and have emailed camp chef about it.

Simply stated, they "sold out" unexpectedly fast and won't have any until January at the earliest. The other fella said his email said the same.. but also added to his email from camp chef was the point that they were "making modifications" to it.

With the lack of reviews (found 2), and modifications coming, I'd wait on it if someone found any currently in stock.  I'm also wondering if it has issues with getting even heating from top to bottom.

I noticed Cabelas has a knockoff of this made by Masterbuilt, but there aren't any reviews on that one either, nor can I find it on Masterbuilts site at all.

I am interested in as it appears to have more space as I currently have a 40" masterbuilt that I'm used to that space. I'm just not so sure how well it will do and will probably opt for the cabelas magnum pellet grill, which is made by camp chef.

Just so you know, I picked up the Masterbuilt one last Friday and have been using it. I love it. If you have any questions, ask away. I think Masterbuilt has a winner with this one (especially for the price).

Post some pics of the unit.  If it is like the Camp Chef, I would like to see the interior shelves and drip pan/burner area too.
