I’m curious, can you use the Drive without the special adapter cable to drive the Pit Viper like you can with the Fireboard fan or does it require the adapter cable plus an additional power source?
PID is a term used for a few different manufacturers controllers, it doesn’t refer to just Weber or anyone else. PID controllers are more accurate than the older generation of controllers that dumped pellets on a timer vs actual feedback from the grill. I wouldn’t get too hung up on the...
I can't speak to the table version but I just picked up the "old" version of the Summit & it has the gas ignition which quite frankly I didn't think I would care about but love now that I have it. The deflector is different in the old vs new, the old deflector is a two piece hinged design vs a...
I recently decided to switch up my cookers due to a new move with a different lay out. I wanted to pair down to a more streamlined set up, flat top, smoker & a big grill for daily cooking but no propane. I have a few kettles & a Performer which did my main grilling duties but I always ran out of...
I have the SnS version for my kettle & it is hard to manage whatever is under it plus it’s a similar shape as the SnS so it’s not real big. When I was researching the WSC I found a post where a guy was raving about the Ceramic Grill a store version for the Big Joe. It’s a smarter design where a...
Thanks guys, I'm super excited for it. The other motivation for getting it was that we have a fall seasonal camp site & I'm thinking that I can bring the E6 there so I can do some overnight smoking that my current 22" with a SnS doesn't allow me.
I have to admit when I finally found one to see...
Yes, I got sucked in & bought the E6 as well as the new Masterbuilt 1050. The MB is a great smoker that can also grill (pretty good too) but not having a Weber grill handy for different cooks made my OCD kick in. Once I priced a 26' with the XL SnS I figured I was half way to the E6 price then...
Ok, you guys are terrible! I have the 1050 & it’s really nice, can sear for real, smoke & is totally hands off like an EZ bake oven when necessary BUT something inside me was telling me that I still need a Weber in my life. There’s no possible way that the MB will last like a Weber & every time...
Oh well, it’s sold & gone. Always happens to me, I find something for a good deal right before I have to leave for a work trip & when I get back it’s gone. It is what is, moving on & keep looking.
It’s an EX4 listed locally for $275, I wanted the EX6 but honestly at the asking price for the EX4 I could make it work. He’s the original owner selling it after owning it for a year, he’s just not pleased with it so he’s selling.
I found a used Gen 1 Smokefire for a great price & while I’m not sure if it was ever registered I’m assuming that I need to pay for upgrades to get it to Gen 2 status since I’m not the original owner? Any idea how much for the upgrades?
Wow, thanks for all the reply's & fantastic information! The negative is that now my decision is even harder, the positive is that I'm going to end up with a great cooker once I make my mind up!
Thank you, I appreciate the perspective. A typical meal for us is steaks or chicken, the kids want potato’s, the wife wants grilled vegetables so it would be great to have protein cooking with a tinfoil pack of potatoes & some vegetables on the grill. With a kettle I always have a SnS so it’s...
