    The Smokefire Has Arrived

    I upgraded the casters to 5" from the stock 3". The burn in went off without a hitch. We have been dealing with snow here so weather hasn't been cooperative for cooking. I plan to cook today and this weekend. I will post results.

    The Smokefire Has Arrived

    One of the cost compromises Weber made with this new grill was to sell it without stainless steel grates. Here is a link to a company that is making stainless steel grates for the EX4 and EX6. These grates are made with 3/8" rods. They should last forever!!! https://progrates.com/

    The Smokefire Has Arrived

    The Weber Smokefire has arrived. I will be assembling it today. I have already purchased new 5" casters which are due to arrive today. I will try to cook on it this weekend but as it is due to dump snow on us today and tomorrow, it may have to wait until early next week. I have a shelf mod that...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    I read that same post as well. He said that he heard from a friend who has a friend that he thinks works at Weber say there was an issue with temperature swings on the Weber PID controller. Weber allegedly delayed the release to address this issue. I don't know how much faith I have in a rumor...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Here are a couple of additional points: I read where Weber will be adding a Smoke Boost option on their controller (https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/18/weber-smokefire-wifi-pellet-grill-announced/). This just further boosts my confidence that they have addressed the issue of smoking meat...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Congratulations!!! I looked at the Cyber deals and they don't appeal to me as I wasn't looking to add most of the accessories. I just wanted the cover and GrillGrates. They don't offer that package. I am going to take a leap of faith that the Weber will perform to expectation. Look forward to...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    As I haven't purchased yet, I will definitely take a look at the Rec Tec deals tomorrow. BTW according to Rec Tec the military discount only applies to the accessories and not to a grill. Lowes is participating in the Weber SmokeFire Cyber Monday pre-order launch and Lowes will honor the...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Rec Tec will obviously win this survey as there are infinitely more Rec Tec owners than there are Weber Smoke Fire owners (exactly 0). I do not own a pellet grill yet so all of this is IMHO... but I have been researching for months on a perfect solution and have not yet pulled the trigger. I...
