@littlejigga I don't have the heat riser, in fact they didn't offer it when I purchased mine. It runs great! The only thing I have had to do is get a new heavy duty stainless heat shield, the long one that runs the entire length. Mine eventually burned up, but thats a zgrill part. I found a replacement on Amazon.
I have the Pellet Pro 1st Gen and the Heavy D. My 2 issues with it is the temp spike when the wood starts burning and you can only add wood at the beginning of the cook. The Woodwind Pro allows you to keep adding wood throughout the cook and they said it can keep the set temps even with burning wood in the smoke box. My experience so far is the Heavy D does add significantly more smoke than burning only Pellets but it is no where near a stick burner. I am hoping a 980 will get me closer.
Thanks for Watching Trey! Appreciate the feedback! In this video there was no temp spike because the PID adjusted, you are correct that you can only add wood once during the cook. What we all forget is that this is a great way to add additional smoke especially on higher heat cooks
THE HEAVY D is what convinced me to get this smoker. I saw the new pellet grill that came out with the box for the wood chunk and first thing I thought of was thats not new LOL (Like some youtubers would claim)! I would guarantee that this is a better quality smoker as well. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this grill for making jerky. put the baffle plate in turn the low smoke featcher on and turn that fan on. I also will never get rid of this smoker just due to the fact for making jerky.
Tom nice video. I have a small rectec 340 so the product you are reviewing will not fit. I did add the smoke daddy cold smoke and use it along with the grill smoke setting of 180. Using wood chips I get a lot of smoke in my food. Now wether it is good smoke I’m not sure. You can get the smoke daddy to burn very clean by adding wood slowly. Or load it and get lots of very white smoke. There is a learning curve but feel it is a nice alternative to those that do not want to upgrade to a woodwind pro. O
I own one, built like a tank. I use it on my recteq 590. It makes a pellet grill into a true hybrid stick/pellet. Best of both worlds. Suck It, stick burner snobs!
I have a Camp Chef Woodwind 36 WIFI with the slide and Grill feature. So there's a metal plate you can slide over to cover the burnpot. Can this fit in those or will this diffuser interfere with the built-in slider?
I’m wondering if this works In the expert grill commodore? Seems like it would fit in there but I haven’t bought one yet to test it out. Since you have the expert grill, have you tested out the smoke daddy heavy D in there?
I’ve never had to go through this effort to make a pellet grill more like a stick burner. The Rec Teq and lumberjack pellet do just fine on their own and provides plenty of smoke.
I wish I could use this in fact I bought this but unfortunately my pellet grill is too small. I’ve contacted the company to see if they’d consider making one to fit the smaller pellet grills. 🤷♂️
Thanks for Watching Vincent! As I stated in the video, if you have questions as to whether or not it will fit your particular pellet grill, give them a call or email.
Can you use this on the King Chii grill you reviewed from Amazon? Currently using a Spider Venom on my Weber Master Touch 22" but have been wanting to try a pellet grill, but dont want to break the bank and sacrafice the flavor of my kettle. Can you do a video to see if it would work on the King Chii please? Just curious.
Thank you for letting me know! You've got a beautiful collection of grills it's amazing to see just how many different types and brands there have been over the years. Do you think the box would work on the King Chii or do you think there isn't enough room?
Tom, I'm considering a new smoker. My old Camp Chef ZG (from Dick's) is kinda dead. So was looking at the Woodwind Pro and saw this video. 2 questions: 1) seems that the idea is similar, but that with the WWPro you can keep adding wood/charcoal, but here you only get to add it once. Seems like you only got 2 hours of smoke? Is that right? 2) Did you find that the extra smoke you get using this method makes a difference versus just a pellet grill? Bonus question: would you go pellet or the Char-Griller Gravity 980? Seems that the CG is a better deal than say a WWPro or even just a WW or Traeger 780. Thoughts?
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Tim, I reached out to BBQHQ and they actually said they dropped the MB because of quality issues and poor service. I know MB and CG are the same company, so should I be nervous? MB only offers a 1-year warranty. What’s been your experience with the brands?
@ggruber66 I haven’t had an issue with either one. I’ve heard all the stories from others that have. The design of the CG is better than the MB. If it makes you nervous just stay with the Campchef
Thanks for Watching! Good question,,, I don’t have a good answer for you,,, too many other gadgets in the land of grills. I’ll be making sure to use more often
There’s been a lot of talk about “dirty” smoke since the Camp Chef came out. TH-camrs claim if you use a smoke tube with wood chips or pellets, it’s dirty and bitter. Can’t figure out what the difference would be. I could just set a wood chunk on my Smokefire burn pot heat deflector too. Maybe even make a steel “box” to set on top. Thoughts on dirty smoke?
Thanks for Watching! Haven’t tried the Woodwind pro yet, unfortunately most don’t completely understand that the best smoke is the smoke you barely see, as I showed especially at higher temps where the Heavy D works very well. The marketing aspect of lots of visible smoke is what sells
Check out Jirby BBQ's channel. He is Co-owner of the #1 Texas BBQ joint. Many of his videos he talks about dirty smoke and it not being that big of a deal, especially at the start. Check out his channel too, well worth it.
I use a smoke tube and a smoke maze with my pellet smoker, and have never had a problem with dirty smoke, or bitter taste. I'm getting very close the the results I used to get with my offset.
Hey Tom. Great video and pretty excited to see this mod to get more smoke flavor from my pellet. I have the ZGrill 11002B Multitasker. Does this mod fit on your Z Multitasker?
Thanks for Watching! I did put it on and yes it does fit, although it doesn’t fit into any ports on the side of the grill. In my opinion it would work, just need to be careful with positioning it
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ I mean it! I was about to beg my wife for that new Woodwind Pro that's been all over, but this looks much more like something she'd go for lol
Why don’t you just get those $100 bucks, plus whatever you can get from your pellet smoker and buy you a decent back yard smoker that you can get real smoke flavor from.
I tecently ordered one of these SmokeDaddy stick burner upgrades after using one at my friend's house. The flavor was very, very close to an offset. Don't think about meat coming off a pellet grill with one of these, the same meat from a typical pellet grill alone.
I have used my smoke daddy kit for my zgrill for a few years. Probably over 200hrs so far and it rocks! I use it EVERY time!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback
Hello, I have a zgrill 1000 series. Which diffuser did you buy? Standard or Pit Boss? Is the 3" risers needed?
@littlejigga I don't have the heat riser, in fact they didn't offer it when I purchased mine. It runs great!

I am developing a major inferiority complex just seeing how clean and well maintained all of his smokers are!

Jeremy Yoder did a review of the Woodwind Pro. Looks like it has promise, but I think there are a few design flaws that need to be addressed.
Yeah I think I'll just roll with the 980
Thanks for Watching Shaun!
What is the "980"? Please.

Pro Tip... pack lava rock in with wood chunks or splits to vastly reduce flare ups and temp swings.

Reminds me of the Jen-U-Wine Jerry kit Smoke Daddy sold years ago. This looks like a better mouse trap though.

Does the heavy D fit in traeger ironwood?
Thanks for Watching! I’m not sure, you can contact smoke daddy to find out. smokedaddyinc.com
Will it work/fit on ALL pellet grills?
Thanks for Watching Mike! Email them and they’ll let you know
To avoid flare ups anyone considered soaking the chunks with water? Any thoughts?
Thanks for watching Eddie! Wet wood makes sooty smoke not the best for smoking meat
Would love to cooked food comparisons with this device.

Can you show the wood chunks completely burned up and how long it took?
Thanks for watching! It all depends on what type of wood, how dry it is and what temp your set at
You sound like Bob or Brad, the two most famous physical therapist, on the internet.
Thanks for Watching Marky! Have no idea who they are
In their option of course.
Great video video Tom

Anybody know if the standard version will fit a Grilla Grill Silverback ???
Thanks for watching! You can email or call Smoke Daddy inc, they will know
Have you tried this on the Zgrill multitasker?
Thanks for Watching, I have not
Great video. Just wondering where you get those wood chunks that fit so nicely in there. Thanks…
Thanks for Watching Wade! They are oak cut offs that I got, usually I’ll use splits and cut and split to make fit
Have you seen the new camp chef that has a wood tray built in? I may need to get one of those.
Thanks for Watching! This video is to help those that think they need that…
Have you seen the grill that's gonna use wood chips as fuel? Really curious what that's gonna be like
Thanks for Watching! I have! Pretty interesting…
Would be interested in a comparison between auto komado, and one of these pellet grills with the extra smoke feature
Thanks for Watching Jason! Yes it would! Great idea, Thanks!
Anyone know if this work for a Traeger 575 pro?
Thanks for Watching Mike! Contact Smoke Daddy Inc and they will let you know

My pellet grill gives plenty of smoke. Anymore and food will taste like a burnt stump. Enhance the meat with smoke...not the smoke with meat.

If you like the smoke flavor from your pellet grill then you haven’t tasted a real wood smoke flavor or you just don’t like a strong smoke flavor.
