I just watched a bunch of the videos. He said he did ribs first, then burgers, both without incident. It started going haywire on the brisket.
He's definitely not a happy camper. I can't say I blame him at all.
I was trying to be funny and referring to me, I’m nervous as hell about my EX6 showing up tomorrow. I might not even open the box at this point.Bruno, I'm not sure I follow the title of this posting, why "DO NOT WATCH"? Shouldn't we want to watch them all, no matter how bad, to learn from others experiences?
Where did you see this? I didn't find anything on bbq brethren?As to the SmokeFire ........ even Baby Back Maniac has had trouble with his ......... seems to be common.
Ok, I misunderstood. Yeah, I watched the videos from "Matt PPC" as well and can appreciate his frustrations and return questions. The repeated startup failures alone would push me to the edge too let alone the other issues.I was trying to be funny and referring to me, I’m nervous as hell about my EX6 showing up tomorrow.

i‘m actually going to reach out to Amazon regarding returns. Can I roll in a dirty built smoker to Kohl’s and be done with it? Weber asked a guy on YouTube who may want to return his if he had used it and they haven’t gotten back to him.
I wouldn’t either. I wish I would have waited to see what guys like BBM and Amazing Ribs have to say.As for the videos I've found, I'm seeing Way too many problems at this point I'd be canceling an order if I had one on the way. We were all hopeing and expecting Weber to nail it. But that doesn't seem to be tied the case at this point.
Agree! Negative news in general gets more attention than positive but it seems like there is almost nothing good to report so far. I've been in tech for almost 30 years and can tell you that the majority of these initial issues are software related and can be corrected in time. Version 1.0 of ANY new software is rarely as good as expected no how much it is tested internally. I'm holding my gift cards and waiting patiently for what I hope is a timely and aggressive response by Weber to instill much needed confidence back into the market.As for the videos I've found, I'm seeing Way too many problems at this point I'd be canceling an order if I had one on the way.

Baby Back Maniac does have the SmokeFire EX6, he bought one at Lowe's. He's posting about his experience on Instagram, not on YouTube.Baby back Maniac doesn't have the Smoke Fire. I've been looking forward to his reviews on it. Has he made a video with another youtouber o haven't seen?
****update- @kevin_kolman Got a hold of me and showed me what the problem was. A void of pellets formed in the hopper In front of the auger which prevented it from loading up with pellets properly. Hopefully we are back in business.**** OK, I’ve spent about four hours playing with this and this cooker is not working.
Ran great for about two hours then flamed out. Put it in shutdown mode tried again, won’t start. Went through shut down mode again and tried again and the auger isn’t even feeding pellets into the fire pot.
Definitely not happy...at least not yet. Will call customer service tomorrow and see if I can get it going. #webersmokefiregrill
