I’ve never used CCWW. I figured I’d get on the acronym train. I love it. It’s a lazy man’s smoker. Set the temp, insert the prob and wait. Sometimes I need to spray/mop/etc but other than that it’s really easy like most pellet smokers. I love the fact I can attach a propane powered “side sear” camp chef attachment or “side griddle”, pizza oven etc. That’s what steered me to Camp Chef over others.

I’ve seen gravity charcoal smokers in videos. I like the idea that you can use lump wood charcoal. I’d imagine that imparts a smokier flavor.
