There was a software update that came out on 8/1. I know because I happened to be talking to a Weber SF specialist about my controller seemingly randomly restarting a few days ago. My SF wasn't cooking at the time. The Weber guy said he thought there had been a software update. I was...

I should have been more specific. The regular price seems to be 1/2 of the same weight in BM brand. The BOGO is for 40 lbs of their Hickory Oak blend.

Now I'm hooked. I want to see the finished product. Are you cooking at 225?

Has anyone used Smokehouse pellets? I see that they are now under the Bear Mountain umbrella and Bear Mountain has a BOGO on them. What I can't figure out is if BM makes them, and I would think they do, how can they sell them for 1/2 the price of the BM brand?

I had heavy rain roll in for about an hour straight where there was supposed to be none when I was in the middle of a cook. I took the cover and covered the controller with it. I then stayed nice and dry inside. There were no issues at all with the pellets getting wet or the temperature...

We love smoked food. The Smokefire is so good at what it does and easy to use often that I can see that I might want to tailor the pellet mix to a milder "everyday" mix and pour it on for longer brisket or pork butt cooks. I've never had a pellet grill before where the pellet choice actually...

I'm looking for boneless, skinless turkey breasts about 5 lbs each. I can't get them from any of the supermarkets or farms around me in my neck of the woods because it's summer. In addition, bird flu devastated a lot of turkey farms last fall so that makes it even harder to find now. Can...

I agree completely. My family likes the food, which is a big win for me, and I'm really impressed with what the Smokefire can do. I can always go to the barrel cooker or Genesis, but even the things I'm grilling taste better and often get a real wood fire taste. I'm still learning the ins and...

The joke might be on me. As soon as I said something nice about the ELX 6, I switched the controller on while I was getting the grill set up to smoke a pork loin. I didn't set a temp or anything. About 5 minutes later the controller displayed finishing shutdown and restarted itself. It was...

I've done my first few cooks on the ELX 6. My initial experience has been superlative. It's like Weber has found the missing link in pellet grills. They should be shouting it from the rooftops and taking credit for it. I know that can change with further use and I wasn't one of the stalwarts...

This might be the biggest way I adapt to the SF for cleaning purposes - clean the grates right away and hope most of the bbq sauce gunks up on pellet ash or hits a flavorizer bar. I also think I'm going to go for it and do a HH burn off every now and then if I need to and cross my fingers...

I'm going to be cooking up some chicken breasts and thighs and saucing them. On my Genesis I would just start to layer on the sauce and flip and repeat and continue several times until the breasts hit done temp. The BBQ sauce (Heinz) holds up well to the heat, but still it's a messy process...

Great news Lew!

I did my first cook and then grill (burgers) with the EXL6 this evening. It went pretty well. I seem to have that hotspot on the right hand side of the SF. I used a Weber temperature probe plugged into the SF in the spatchcocked chicken. I set the alarm for 162. After double checking the...

Time for some thread necromancy. Is there any way to save a session in the app (iPhone)?

I live in a rural town in the NE and my local True Value / Agway has them in the box and on the floor (EX and ELX). I think they just started stocking them, but have had a large room dedicated to Weber grills, smokers and accessories for years. Admittedly, it doesn't look as robust as it did...

Thanks Lew!

It's the gap along the edge. Given previous pellet problems with the design I was wondering if it would cause a pellet jam as the pellets were depleted and didn't have as much weight on them pushing them down. When I run these pellets down I'll remove the slide door and readjust. For the life...

Sorry for the lousy pic. I zoomed in on it. If that's the pellet dump, and I think you are correct, should it be flush with the chute?

Well, I just took delivery of my ELX6 and it looks good. I saw this gap in the hopper chute and was wondering if it would be a problem for me?
