    Pellets on sale at Lowes

    No prob. At my location, many of the bags were taped closed because they were busted. Not sure if they are getting rid of them for good or what.

    SmokeFire’s back on sale! 🔥

    A couple of weeks ago they were having a "Weber Event" at the local Lowes. It was basically a Weber rep standing next to a display of products. I asked him about the Smokefire and the fact it is hard to find pellets and accessories in stores. I let him spew some marketing BS, then asked a few...

    SmokeFire’s back on sale! 🔥

    Just my .02. I was extremely hyped for the SmokeFire, then after the rough debut, I decided to wait. I ended up buying an EX4 during a sale last year. The same $200 off as now. I have had a Performer and a Smokey Mountain for over 10 years. As I have gotten older, the effort it takes to use...

    Smokefire no longer at Lowes

    This makes the cover and other accessories sale makes sense. I went into Lowes yesterday and didn't see the Smokefire anywhere. They had pellets, but no smokers or covers. I didn't think much of it until I looked online and saw a message saying "this item is not available on lowes.com". I...

    Giving an update here. It has only been a few weeks, but I have cooked all kinds of things. Beef ribs, pizzas, whole chickens, chicken wings, etc. I have not had any real issues. I think on one cook, the pellets stopped falling, but that was it. I do clean it after every other cook. I am a...

    I guess I am the only slob that just blows his /her leaf blower into the SF to clean out the ash???

    I did my first cook tonight. Beef ribs. Cooked them at 275 until they reached 203. Obviously this was the first cook, but it things go this smooth the rest of the time, then I definitely will be in love with the SmokeFire. The meat turned out so good, my other half was shocked because I...

    Almost, but,,,,,

    Good post. I do think that you and other early adopters provided feedback that helped get the SmokeFire where it is now. Design, software and firmware updates have improved it big time.

    I finally got to fire up my EX4 today. I put it together a couple of days ago, but because of weather I didn't really have a chance to even do a burn off until tonight. It was 44 degrees outside and windy. The unit got up to 475 in about 13 minutes. I kept it going for about an hour and then...

    I wonder why it is only Hickory that is on sale. Maybe they are re-formulating them? Regardless of the reason, I have 5 bags so far. Thankful for the sale. But the covers are on clearance as well at Lowes, so not sure what it going on. Might be just a matter of them having too much stock of...

    I ordered my SmokeFire EX4 today. We got an unexpected bonus at work and instead of saving all of it for a rainy day, I put a portion towards a new grill. The fact that people here are alot more positive about it than at launch and this is the gen 2 with all the upgrades made me take the...

    Update on the SmokeFire problems

    I have been following the progress on reddit, social media and other boards. Definitely not as much negativity going on and we are getting more stories of people who are happy with it. But it seems to be alot of inconsistent experiences still. People who had issues got replacement parts and...

    SmokeFire issues on YouTube.

    An interview with Kevin Kolman. Asked the tough questions, but responded with alot of spin. The bottom line he hit on a few times is that Weber is still learning about the grill and have planned updates. One thing that he kept doing was kind of blaming users for issues but then saying, "in a...

    SmokeFire issues on YouTube.

    But that is how these companies get reviews on YouTube. They give out product. Now it is up to the influencer to have integrity or not, but getting a free product doesn't automatically make the reviews tainted. Greg Lampe gets free stuff all the time, but his reviews are legit. He will give...
