    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    My experience is not the same. The cookie sheet does nothing but collect grease and burned on food that you continue to burn and burn and burn that emits a burned stink, not a sweet smoke smell. Even when you clean it or use foil to cover, the first time you use it again, the grease and...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    They did not ask and I did not tell. I was a previous registered user, they sent me parts before for my old Genesis Grill. Re this grill.... They had the serial number and they sent the previous owner new parts too before he sold it to me.

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    Motherboard came in and resolved my glow plug/igniter issue. All works as it should now. I just CANNOT believe the other guy sold me this grill for $40 and how Weber sent me a boatload of free parts to get it going like NEW AGAIN. Even free parts like meat probes and pellets were sent. I...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    I got my parts on Friday and Saturday, got if fired up and did my first attempt at a steak. Next time need more sear, but was still impressed with this unit so far. Found out the MB is on back order so the glow plug igniter still stays on constantly. The flavor bar bracket is one per... I...

    So far all is well. I connected per the instructions and I am getting notifications and monitoring temps miles away now. I dont know how that works. Apparently the app has some cloud/cellular connection now. I am using an android phone.

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    I turned it on and immediately the glow plug goes on. Ran a test at 300 then to 340 for about 45 mins. Shut down from the app and it worked (When I am with in BT range of the grill ) The grill properly shut down but the glow plug was still on. I am very impressed at how the burn pot is...

    SmokeFire - Weber App - connection drops when I am outside of bluetooth range but connected to wifi

    Hi New owner of a Weber Smokefire ex4 and recently installed the Weber Android app. I connected via wifi and was able to update temps and shut down the grill, no issues, being fairly close to the grill. I am getting mixed functionality today ... When I go outside of the assumed Bluetooth...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    Is it normal that the glow plug is on/glowing soon as the unit is powered on? Glowing before temp start cycle? Also, I was told on a different forum that during shut down mode, it is normal that the unit will dump more pellets and continue to cycle the fan as to get the fire box cleaned and...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    The igniter housing was bent a little and the igniter was inner electrode was touching ground side causing a direct short. For anyone reading this ... a good igniter measures about 9 ohms. I fixed the ignitier/housing and used a clamp to keep it all tight. I reassembled it all and the unit...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    I will pull out the igniter and check it later. I don't understand how it works though, I guess just dc volts across an almost dead short and it gets hot? There are 2 wires coming off the 24v PS going to the igniter. When the igniter is plugged in, it holds down the whole PS/Control board...

    Smokefire ex4 problems - bad power supply or igniter?

    I bought a 1st Gen ex4 used. It supposedly it gave the guy no issues for some years but then it would not work recently and he just gave up on it and sold it to me cheap. Weber sent him a new motherboard and igniter. I believe that made it the display come on and work until the motor or igniter...

    What model Summit is this?

    I brought it home for 200 and there is no rust in the fire box. Frame is essentially rust free. Burners, flavor bars and grate are in great shape. The unit was not registered with Weber and is in good shape overall. The frame is in great shape and just needs a quick spray of black paint. the...

    Silver C quick refurb

    Yes. I have read a few blogs/articles about the "right way" the grates are to be. So yes... I know weber recommends fat side up.... Not sure I always want fat side up depending on what I am cooking. thanks Kevin

    Silver C quick refurb

    The left side I used the donor end caps that were in good shape and just used a bit of simple green, steel wool and paper towels. Getting the old left side end cap out caused me to break the old one off as it was seized up in the tube and pull out a section of the rusted frame. So I had to cut a...
