The 14" upper grate really adds capacity. It was a good upgrade.

Great question. Only Weber knows the answer so we can only watch them and wait.

I see a lot of flameouts with the EX model Smokefire but the hopper design changed with the Stealth version. I haven’t seen any flameout reports on the Stealth and Sear+ so I don’t know if the redesign fixed the problem. I have no clue where Weber is going with their pellet grill line. I’m in...

It's a side hopper. Every description I've read puts it there.

Good question. We’ll see.

Sounds like you still got it. How big is the Brisket? Prime?

Monday dinner was a 6 lb. Spatchcocked Chicken. I only got 1 picture. Roasted Garlic Potatoes and Broccoli were the sides. I dry brined the bird for 8 hours and smeared it with herb Butter before putting it on the top cooking grate. I cooked it at 400° F using Cabela's Cherry pellets. The...

Funny, mine was ready for the taste test after dinner. Yours looks great.

My son and I did our first cured Pastrami. I used the recipes and process Chris Allingham has on The Virtual Weber Bullet site in his Beef section. I got a choice 6 lb. Brisket Flat from the Publix butcher and last Sunday we put the cure on. Pastrami Dry Cure TVWB 1/4 cup Morton Tender Quick...

I retired from the Navy 34 years ago and have had to ride out the economic ups and downs. Consumer goods have risen steadily through those years so I didn't experience the bubble you're talking about. During the recent inflationary surge I have seen prices rise more quickly. That's what...

If you go the $750 route then know that the food will taste just as good as the Sear +. The controller and software plus the open cook chamber design are the same for all models of Smokefire. You won't have the accessories but if you're a little handy you can make a 14" or 15" deep front shelf...

My Gen 1 EX6 is 39 months old and I'm very happy with it's performance and especially the taste it imparts to food. If I were going to replace it I would get the Sear + because I think the upgrades are worth the increased cost. You cannot upgrade a Gen 1 or Gen 2 EX6 to make it a Sear +...

I don't think so because I've been tweaking it for almost 2 years. Here it is in it's latest form. ingredients 2 pounds lean ground beef 2 teaspoons salt ½ tsp. Prague Powder 1 tsp. Sugar 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons ground mustard 1 teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon Black Pepper 1...

Once smoked it holds up real well. Until then, the strips are fragile.

I use a cure.

Sunday I finished off the last bag of Jerky. Today I reloaded. To give my teeth a break in my old age I've switched to ground beef Jerky and todays batch came out pretty tasty with a little kick. I mixed the 4 lbs. of meat and seasoning yesterday and let the flavors meld for 24 hours. Using...

Yup, it's always about family. Brett, my wife and I are having a bad health year. At 82 things pile up. Sara and I are blessed with caring kids and grandkids. We have had constant support since my health went south in February but I seem to be on the mend and I like being able to give a...

Yesterday I grilled New York Strip Steaks. Three were cooked medium rare and 1 was medium. Our Daughter, Son, and Daughter iin Law each got a steak and my wife and I split one. I brought them up to about 110° at 300° pit temp, removed them, and brought the grill up to 550. Then I seared the...

Bob, that's the way it works. I got 12 hours at 250 and the last several hours I saw exactly what your picture shows. The object is to avoid pellet bridging and if the low fuel warning is annoying just push a bunch of pellets down to cover the detector. On some of my test burns I taped an...

Nice upgrade. That reinforcement of the legs is on my to do list.
