$170 Weber Smokefire EX4

[dwnthehatch]

I was alerted by @Firemunkee (thank you again) about Smokefire EX4 listed on Craigslist 5 miles away from me. It was a local scrapper that was selling it as-is for $190.  I went and took a look at it and was able to get it for $170 including the cover and manual. It was missing the meat probe but I have 4 already.

I talked to the hardware store it was scrapped from and it was a demo unit. They kept having an auger jam. The replaced the auger chute assembly and still had issues and trashed it.

I got it home and plugged it in and it fired up. I have to admit that it seems strange plugging it in... The auger was dropping pellets everywhere but the burner bowl. That is when I noticed the feed ramp was blocking the auger.  I removed two screws, positioned the feed ramp correctly set it to 350 and ran it for 2 hours, then I ramped it up to 600 and burned through all the pellets that were left for about an hour. It only got to 550 before I ran out of pellets.

I gave it a good clean out and just bought 40 lbs of pellets. We shall see if it continues to function.

For that price, seems like a fun project.  Have fun with it!

I'm glad it went to a good home! You got some nice new cookers for a nice holiday cook(s)

Great buy.  I picked up mine back in October for a song at a charity auction.
I did all the upgrades before ever firing it up for the first time.  I have about
8 cooks on it now, all flawlessly.  It is a very welcomed addition to my stable.
