    Memorial Day Tradition - Pulled Pork Q View

    Now featuring the Weber SmokeFire EX4 I picked up a couple months ago. Started out with some Killer Hogs BBQ Rub, then wrapped and into the fridge overnight. On to the SmokeFire at 225, running with Kingsford Hickory pellets. Here's a look about 5 hours later, temp around 160 and close to...

    Wagyu Short Rib on SmokeFire EX4 - Should I do a liquid/braise step?

    These short ribs were better than any I had before - but not all the way through. What I mean is there were a few bites/sections that were possibly the best short rib I've had, but it wasn't that good consistently. But given my history with short ribs, I don't find that unusual. These cost me 22...

    Wagyu Short Rib on SmokeFire EX4 - Should I do a liquid/braise step?

    Sorry, forgot a final pic, but they looked exactly like the last one - they only took about 3 1/2 hours to cook in total. It made for a great lunch!

    Wagyu Short Rib on SmokeFire EX4 - Should I do a liquid/braise step?

    So here's something odd - these guys have only been on about an hour and I'm already getting temps over 180 on them. Does Wagyu just smoke a lot faster? This temp comes not just from the weber probe, but I also temped them with my thermapen, which I find very reliable. Here's how they look now!

    Wagyu Short Rib on SmokeFire EX4 - Should I do a liquid/braise step?

    Just going with the easy plan. SPG, on the smoker at 250, let it ride. Here they are in position!

    Wagyu Short Rib on SmokeFire EX4 - Should I do a liquid/braise step?

    Hey all-- I was shopping for a pork butt for Mother's Day, and I saw my store had some Wagyu Short Ribs. I decided to pick them up and give them a shot. Now I have cooked beef short ribs, but only once. My intention is to hit em with my Kosmos SPG, throw em on my SmokeFire at 250 and see what...

    First cook on the Weber SmokeFire EX4 - Super Bowl Sunday!

    Love LOVE how the wings and thighs turned out. Smoked at 225 for about an hour, then juiced the SF up to 400 degrees and got true crispy skin. Wow! It really acts like a real grill when you want it to!

    First cook on the Weber SmokeFire EX4 - Super Bowl Sunday!

    I'm starting it off a little simple and slow, as I just got it put together and seasoned yesterday. I'm going with a few wings, a few thighs, and a couple trays of ABTs. My ABTs today have ground pork seasoned with Kosmos Q Honey Killer B, grilled onions, whipped cream cheese and sharp cheddar...

    Best place to buy the Weber SmokeFire EX6?

    This is one time I didn't mind paying full price. We just picked up a travel rewards card that we want to hit a spend threshold to get a whole mess of bonus miles. I told my wife I'd take one for the team here. :)

    Best place to buy the Weber SmokeFire EX6?

    I just pulled the trigger on this, decided in the end to go with the EX4 instead, and also added the front shelf. I did order from Ace and will assemble myself, but having it delivered. I should have it in the middle of the week!

    Yeah, I don't have any problems assembling myself. That's what I'll probably do.

    Best place to buy the Weber SmokeFire EX6?

    I think I'll go the Ace route. I just signed up for their rewards and the points, free shipping, and free assembly work for me! I grew up with Ace, too... So there's that! Used to buy NES games there back in the day.

    Best place to buy the Weber SmokeFire EX6?

    That's what I'm hoping for out of this, an all rounder that can work in a variety of ways, so I don't need a separate smoker for this and a grill for that so much.

    Weber EX4 pellet grill

    How is the size of the EX4? I sadly don't have a local place where I can get a close look, and measurements/dimensions just don't do it for me. Would you prefer the larger EX6 taking price out of the equation? I think I'm sold on picking one of these up, but I need to decide if I want to shell...

    Best place to buy the Weber SmokeFire EX6?

    I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a pellet grill for ease of use, and I've done quite a bit of research over the past couple months. I think I've landed on my choice in the Weber SmokeFire. It seems they answered a lot of complaints in Gen 2, and I've always liked Weber products...

    The WSM 22, Signals, Billows and the Cold!

    I did use the minion method, and used a full chimney of coals to get it going. It is now holding around 240 or so, which is just fine. I think it may have needed more coals to get going.

    The WSM 22, Signals, Billows and the Cold!

    Thanks Justin! I think we do some of the same stuff! I did also upgraded to the steel door from Cajun Bandit when I did the gaskets this summer, forgot to add that. I was thinking that maybe insulation is what I'm missing in the cold. I should look into getting a welder's blanket like you...

    The WSM 22, Signals, Billows and the Cold!

    Hey all! I was just wondering if anyone is running a setup like this. I have a WSM 22 that I've had for a couple of years, and recently added Thermoworks Signals and the Billows to try to make temp management simple. Does anyone have this setup, and if so, how successful has it been for you...

    Looking to retire my MES 40 for a Pellet Grill

    I think I may ultimately decide that I don't need anything new. My MES is fine when I want more low effort cooks, and the WSM is a great go-to when I can afford to put in more effort. As I researched the various pellet grills out there, I found out I couldn't find one that was a slam dunk for...
