    Longevity......

    So this is where it gets tricky for me. I received my replacement controller two weeks ago. Today I received a new motherboard, but so what ??? Look at these pics ... On all Weber parts they have a manufactured date, on these two packages the bottom half of the label had been removed before they...

    Longevity......

    Jon, I have looked through many Traeger and Rectec forums as well as other brands. There are horror stories on each forum, this one says stay away from this brand and then the next guy says the exact opposite....I love the SF results, just wish it was a little more stable. I am a Weber fan and...

    So like I posted inner a diff thread on this board, last week was find a $50 brisket and had to run out for an hour. Controller froze and SF shut off. Was today cold when I got home and had to restart the grill.Bridget wasn't so good. I guess coming off totally and restarting hurt it. So I said...

    E6 or EX6?

    I love the SF. Food tastes great, easy to cook UNTIL yesterday. Put up a $50 brisket for last minute guests for Fri night dinner . Everything was going well and I was going to take it to 160 then wrap in foil to 200. I had to run out and like it's done before, I lost my wifi connection (on my...

    Jon, I have no doubt the RT makes great food. I love the way my SF food tastes. No buddies with an RT for me to compare to. I just wish the warranty was longer, although I do believe that with the Gen 2 they made significant changes to parts and theredore has less issues.I do have the pellet...

    Checked out a few other Forums today. Seems like complaints on all of them . Always have people who are upset. One guy was debating a EX6 vs Pro 575. He went with the Pro. Posted today that he returned the Pro SAME DAY IT WAS DELIVERED, due to temp swings of 30-35 degrees. I'm keeping the EX6...

    Thanks for all your replies !! I spoke to Weber today . I actually misplaced the cleaning tool, which said they'll send out a new one to me. I asked about maybe extending the warranty due to issues people are having. Rep told me we stand behind it products and will still help you at least 6...

    True, I did that with my other 2 Webers. Being the model is only 2 years Old, it's still hard to tell how it will hold up. Replacing parts before the three years doesn't show what will happen afterwards

    I have one month to decide if I send my EX6 back. I actually love the way it cooks !! Great Smoky flavor. Clean up is a PIA, did it twice only, no great fires or other issues with anything I cooked. Use the water pan for bigger meats, not my chicken , burgers/hot dogs. I'm still getting low fuel...

    Controller issue ??

    More controller issues again, or maybe Wifi. Put Smokeboost on , left the house , checked in on the app about half hour later and all was good. Boosted to 275 as I had in chicken thighs and Turkey drumsticks. About a minute later checked in again. , Or should I say tried to check in. No...

    Controller issue ??

    I agree. I'd settle for five years. I mean the auger and hopper angle were overlooked and I guess fixed with the Second Gen. However I really wonder about the electronics in here. We don't even know what a controller/motherboard etc... Cost out of pocket to replace. I'm sure they're a pretty...

    Controller issue ??

    Took less than 10 minutes to swap controllers. Did my update to the current correct version. Bluetooth and wifi now showing up on EX6 screen and my Connect app. Hopefully was a fluke. I really want to keep this but worry about longevity. My S670 served me very well for 12 years. Weber sent new...

    Controller issue ??

    Hi, Really love my EX6. Smoked ribs, roasts. Really into smoked chicken now (Doctor's orders : less meat...) But I'm having issues with Wifi !! My grill is showing the wifi symbol as if it's connected to wifi but not the Bluetooth connection symbol, while my Weber connect app shows the...

    SmokeFire’s back on sale! 🔥

    Looks like the 100 day return policy still stands.... If you go to Weber and click on the Smokefire in the details still shows the 100 Day !!! EX4 is out of stock. Between the Sale price and return policy, I think they're moving well

    Smokefire Mod - Not Mine

    I hope Weber sees the video, I think it's a awesome mod and should easily be able to be retrofit into the Smokefire using existing screw holes to mount. Should also be able to be plugged into the controller to shake ..... Would solve the pellet Hopper issue . I only have two cooks so far, and...

    EX6 just delivered. Initial impressions

    I agree with you Charlie , sensor should be on long side, and it should also be FLUSH with the hopper metal. Any protrusion will cause pellets to stick on top of the sensor and not drop down properly.

    EX6 just delivered. Initial impressions

    Got to do my second cook and was really impressed. Threw a rib steak , 2 lamb shanks and 2 sausages on. Started it up to 300, which took only a few minutes to get to. Then turned on Smokeboost for about an hour. I then took it back up to 275. Raised it and lowered it a few times to 250. Always...
