- Just a quick set up guide and overview compared to my 3-4 year experience with a traeger. I am super excited about this thing!
one flaw I have noticed is that the door handle gets really really hot, I needed a hot mat to open it. Also even on a 95f day in Texas the grill only could get to 460f on the highest setting. wouldn't even break 450 when set to 500

Thank you for taking the time to do this review.
Thanks for the review,it was very informative.Looking to purchase soon . Researching Traeger,Green Mountain, Pit Boss, Camp Chef and Cabelas.Thought your review was excellent and helpful !
Walter Sweeney you should check out Rec Tec as well. That will be my next one.
thanks for the review. Plan to buy one. Did a lot of checking on pellet grills and these seem to be the best to buy . For the money. And cabelas is only 20 minutes away.
mk phelps p
Nice pick up my friend and review!
Thanks... Gr8 review...
B M**se we have used it about a dozen times so far,all great!
The long fork is for moving pellets around in pellet hopper through HOLES WHERE YOU DUMP PELLETS IN. & i had same temperature problem ,Start with lid up till fan starts to get loud. if problem like you had ,turn off power button & unplug from power a few min. plug back in , power on , let start with lid up. good to go.
This is basically a camp chef pellet grill
I feel like the window will be "fogged" up with smoke in no time at all. I have the Magnum pellet grill from Cabelas, which is actually Camp Chefs deluxe model. I may be adding the searing station soon. The only problems I've had is the probe went out (which Cabelas replaced for free) and the heating element went out (which Cabelas refuses to replace even though they say lifetime warranty on everything they put their name on) I'll have to replace it myself soon. For now I just get them going with a small torch, lol
We bought that pellet grill also and I can't get full heat with it is there a way to program the auger to speed up?
My brother just picked his up from Cabela's and I forgot to ask you, how long would you say the hopper will last on 225 degrees for Non-Stop smoke
A year later, how is it holding up? About to buy the same model today. Do you happen to have a part number for the jerky racks? Cant find on Cabela's website.
Thanks for reviewing this. I'm going to pick one up in few days. Do you think after a year of use the window will still be usable? My Traeger i had was covered in smoke residue and grease on the lid.
M Malsam that is a good question, time will tell. I can say that it hold tighter temp variances than traeger by far. + - 6 degrees when I did jerky this week
What model number is this one?
Its a Camp Chef with a Cabelas name on it.
Scott Campbell correct, a few changes like the window. Also a lifetime warranty
cooked a pizza tonight, turned out perfect!
Really similar to Camp Chef features. Nice grill. Enjoy it!
Lee Setzer it is a camp chef
Yep, I was wondering as I scrolled down through the comments if anyone would have noted this. It is interesting how Camp Chef makes slight mods for each of the companies that they make store brands for. Makes it a bit tough to comparison shop.
Hey Cameron, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I subbed to your channel for what it may be worth. How do you like it? Any pros or cons? My brother is looking to buy a pellet grill and this is the one I've mentioned to him. I would think having that easy ash cleannout would be so nice. How is the quality of this compared to your old traeger? I know the traeger failed you but I'm asking in terms of over all quality. Metal thickness etc. Thanks in advance and hope you make some bbq videos using this one day. Cheers
Rusty KC build quality seems slightly higher than the Costco transfer little tex. The higher end traegers are equal or at least feel sturdy. I'm still pleased with it. The thermometer stopped working, the window does get hazy after a few uses. I am still very glad that I got it!
good luck trying to get one. there isn't a cabela's in north america that has one. they are backordered and they can't tell you when they will ever have any.
Norman Divine Typical Cabala's, customer service is NOT their forte'. I was in their store in Columbus, Ohio trying to buy a $4000 safe and couldn't find a employee that was willing to help us. I complained to "corporate", never heard a word from them. That's why I would be suspicious of buying ANYTHING from Cabala's over $20. 😐
Norman Divine Sorry Cabala's, couldn't wait on your "fix". We went ahead and bought a GMG Daniel Boone. Had additional features we REALLY-LIKED! Out-the-door w/o taxes for $499.99
These are made by Camp Chef. I have the Camp Chef version. Exact same but with a bottle opener. EXCELLENT grill.
Just bought the camp chef version as well. Did you get a sear box with yours? If so was it easy to install?
Daniel Udrija I did not but the same holes used for the shelf are the ones used for the sear box so you would just bolt in place of the shelf
Have you ever gotten your grill over 500 Degrees ? / Can't seem to hit that temp
Do you know the model name or number for this grill? The link doesn't work anymore.
Sorry, I don't think they sell it anymore. I have since switched back to traeger. The window stayed gross and eventually it stopped getting above 300 degrees
The tool is not a grill cleaner ,it is to push pellets to the auger, when they are about gone.
Any idea who builds this for Cabelas?
Camp Chef
Does it have even heat throughout the grill and does it sustain a perfect temperature or what I'm trying to ask how much are the temperature swings once you set your temperature ?
Super020469 hotter on the very edge of the bottom grate where the heat deflector isn't covered. It will keep within 10 degrees
Kameron A that's not bad especially with a lifetime warranty and it seems to work okay ?
Super020469 works great so far, the window does get dirty
Kameron A I'm glad to know it works great and as far as the window goes just a little bit of Easy-Off oven spray takes 2 seconds to clean it probably
Was Traeger unwilling to replace your Lil Tex? Or was it out of warranty? Awesome review thanks
T Sowell didn't confirm actually, would have to disassemble and send in to see if that was the issue
Thanks for the info. They always tell me at Costco how awesome the warranty is. I'm always skeptical
Costco has the best warranty, i took it back to them and they gave my money back! they closest traeger model available was $200 more than I originally paid so that is why i looked at the cabelas model
Is the Glass Black and impossible to see through yet?
haha yep...

Never Buy a smoker with a glass window. When I started researching which one to buy immediately I marked all the ones with Windows off the list
I bought the same Grill as you have and it won't get over 375 degrees and it never ever reached 500 Degrees from when it was new I was just wondering if you would know what the problem is
Super020469 bummer, no clue. Have you called cabelas?
Kameron A no I haven't called them yet, that was my next step I just don't get it I've only cooked on it five times and clean the fire pot out each and every time ,vacuum the ashes out in between Cooks
Kameron A thank you though for your reply
I was thinking about purchasing this same grill, just wondering if your still happy with it and if you have had any problems. Thank you for the review good work
Joe Brancato I still recommend it. I think I got some saw dust in the hopper and last time I grilled I couldn't get it above 330. I called the campchef customer service line and they gave me instructions for how to fix it. Excellent service
Good just what I wanted to hear and thanks again
Sorry to bother you. Did you ever find out who makes the cabelas pellets. Thanks
Joe B no
I did end up purchasing the grill, I'm very happy with the decision. Thank you for this review it was the deciding factor.
I got on fir 75$ use it every day
Camp Chef woodwind
So how do they not get sued for stealing what appears to probably be patented design from woodwind? The campchef is nearly identical, some small stuff that's different and what not but how much for this unit? Money talks
Camp Chef makes this version for Cabellas.
A camp chef with a window.
Camp Chef Magnum but labeled as a Cabella
that sucks u couldn't grill out
If the window on the lid is like the Masterbuilt windows...it will be a "FUN" item to clean after each cook...will never buy one with a window again, not worth the effort to keep scrubbing it after every few coos.
It looks tiny
ega0117 more surface area than the little tex by traeger. Fits a pretty good size Turkey.
WOW, WE FINALLY GOT TO SEE ONE OF THESE IN A CABELA'S STORE AND I WAS SHOCKED! COMPARED-IT TO OUR GMG DANIEL BOONE, NEARLY 1/4 SMALLER IN SIZE, IT COST MORE AND HAS FEWER ACCESSORIES. MAKE SURE YOU COMPARE BEFORE YOU BUY...
B M**se I don't know what you're talking about? What model, what price, what size, what accessories? It's bigger than my old traeger lil tex
Poor lawn. Only got as far as mowing it but no trimming
That Cabela grill is a Camp Chef DX pro DLX - the only difference is that a window was installed in the hopper and grill lid. That honey comb hopper protector should NEVER be removed! That little rake that you thought was a grill grate cleaner, is used to move pellets in the hopper to the clean out chute, and to remove pellets that get caught in the corner of the hopper and auger. I pays to read the instructions before doing a YOU TUBE video, so you don't look foolish when trying to clean a grill grate with a hopper rake. I found it amusing how you were giggling and criticizing the company for including a rake that doesn't even fit the grill grates, when in fact, it is not supposed to fit those grates. That rake does a great job of doing what it was intended to do.
Thanks for the info. Glad I could amuse you with my "foolish" comments on the hopper rake. PS you should have counted my "ums" and "ohs" its much easier to make fun of how often I use those verbal "crutches"
I didn't mind the "ums and ohs". I just don't want to see someone removing the auger guard, I almost foolishly lost my finger on a Traeger auger, because there wasn't an auger guard.
Thanks dad
Curious if the camp chef sear box would work with this thing considering that this is a rebadged camp chef.
It’s actually a Camp Chef Magnum just with a rebadge.
Worst grill I owned. Never get over 350 degrees, paint peeled 2nd summer, glass window sucks
Pellet grills just keep getting worse and worse
