Product Description
In 1990, founder Ty Measom found himself both frustrated and inspired with the size and quality of the outdoor cooking equipment available. He set out to create a product that was both portable and powerful. After countless hours of brainstorming, engineering, and tinkering, the Pro60 was born—and along with it—a company to pioneer the camp-cooking industry. The simple, yet durable design was applauded by outdoorsmen everywhere. Since then we’ve added griddles and grill box attachments, a variety of cast iron pieces, and more recently—pellet grills. Over the past 30 years, our product line has expanded, but our objective remains the same—provide a better way to cook outdoors.
We’ve raised the steaks in the outdoor cooking industry. So, we challenge you to ask yourself if your cooking equipment is tough enough for the task. Whether you’re barbecuing on the back patio or backpacking in Bolivia—delicious food is attainable despite your coordinates. So, get out there. Make memories with the people you love. Experience the beauty of nature. Feed your outside however you want with the durability, versatility, portability, and power of Camp Chef.

After a bad experience with the thermostat of my brand new Masterbuilt electric smoker not working at all I decided to go low tech. The only thing "electric" is the built in piezoelectric igniter. So short of using charcoal this is as simple as it gets. That should increase the reliability of the unit.
The smoker it made out of sheet steel that is reasonably thick while allowing the smoker to still be easily picked up. The metal should last several years, but I expect that it will get rusty fairly soon. Note that the smoker has no insulation at all. The outside will be VERY hot when you are smoking so keep the kids on a leash so that they can't touch it. The wood chip pan and the water pan appear to be porcelain coated steel.
There are, however, a couple of things that I don't like. The lowest temperature that I have managed to get is 250 degrees. That is considerably hotter than what is recommended for the starting temperature for smoking salmon. I think that this problem can be mitigated by leaving the door slightly open, but I wish that there was a lower temperature setting available.
The other issue is that the regulator ends up just laying on the ground when it is not attached to the propane tank. A plug to close off the inlet to the regulator would have been nice to have as would be some way to hang the regulator up when it is not in use. I think that I can jury rig something to do this, but it seems to me like I should not have to do so.
I got this a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. For the most part it is quite easy to keep temps regulated. However I've had the flame go out a handful of times in the three times I've used it. I've smoked some jerky and a tri-tip roast. A two door set up like a Masterbuilt also may have been nice to be able to check wood and flame without losing smoker temps. Made some salmon candy yesterday with a tri-fold plywood wind break around it, yet it still blew out twice while set on medium. I find it odd too that the gas valve when at its lowest setting reads halfway between medium and low according to the indicator arrow.
I've called Camp Chef with questions a couple of times and their customer service is very good.
I have installed a needle valve to be sure I can keep low temps once the weather turns warmer. I've not needed it so far as I've been smoking low and the temps have been in the 20°-25° range.It is a Bayou classic valve and I had my local lumberyard press fit the hose with brass ferrules that I use on my compressor hoses. I can dial it down very low, but as the larger flames are blowing out, I am not sure the needle valve will ever come into play. I just wanted the option for very low.
I also made a skid for it that ties all the legs together. I have a gravel drive and this makes it easy to put under roof once it cools without having to lift it. I can grab one of the handles to slide it along and it moves well as a unit with the legs secured together.
I love the wood tray and am glad to say chunks work very well in it. Easy to clean. While I've done a lot of smoking on a charcoal smoker, this is new to me. I am a very savvy shopper and did exhaustive research into buying this smoker. Next up - a 14# belly will be turned into bacon soon in this smoker.
