First used Smoke Fire?

[Mike in Roseville]

Why would you buy a weber instead of a MAK, GMG, Yoder, Rec Tec, or even a Traeger? Those are all proven.

Or Grilla Grills my personal favorite.  I own 2 of them. 

Lol I knew I forgot a few. Lots of good options these days for the pellet game.

I love my Traeger. All this talk about the SF inspired me to fire it up again today. I really hope Weber gets the SmokeFire sorted out. It seems like hardware and software will be required to do so.

That Traeger is awesome Lawrence

Grilla makes a fine pellet grill.  We used 2 Grilla's for  a grilling class with Malcom Reed and Mark Williams couple weeks back. Smoked wings and grilled 2 ribeyes  with perfect grill marks you would swear came off charcoal. I prefer the Grilla over my traeger timberline 1300

That round Grilla is a sexy pellet grill. Do you use the pro mode or pid mode more?

I haven't tried the pro mode yet; it's been cold here in Chicago since I got it so I've just been using the PID. Will definitely be trying out the "more swing, more smoke" mode when it warms up a bit this spring & summer.

For the chimp that has the alpha I prefer pro mode, little more swing but produces really good results.

Just watched a couple videos on the smoke fire. I don't know anything about pellet grills but the open design of this one looks like a nightmare for grease management and clean up. Definitely does not look easy or convenient.

Agreed.  I saw a few today and it's not looking good for this model.  One guy had a video of a ton of grease mixed with pellet ash that went on forever.  I would not like to deal with that!

Disappointing news for sure. If you're late to the game, you better arrive with a superior product that does the brand proud. Everything I've read on this makes it seem like the issues are design-related, which is inexcusable, really.

Your are spot on here, when I first saw it in the youtube pre-product release videos I thought the design was a "game changer" and thought that weber was going to take over the pellet community.  Having grease fires is not something to just brush off.  I hope they fix this, I love weber grills.  I also have my own personal favorite pellet manufacturer and in my back yard they can coexist nicely.

I have a spider adapter and it works great. Doesn't have any bells or whistles. The temp control goes in 50 degree steps.  But all and all for $200 it's worth it!

talk to me about the flavor profile?  Charcoal v pellet

[nitis]

I'm still going to get mine kind of irritated it's not here yet to be perfectly honest

Observation by me is they designed this as a grill first even when they did their demos they were grilling not smoking

The flare ups and fires are nothing I haven't seen in my genesis

Also even though they say the design shouldn't need drip trays or pans. I don't want to clean that up anyway so I'm going to use something to catch those drippings anyway

Now maybe it'll work better for me because I have other grills to fill the needs I need but maybe this goes to show that a one size fits all grill is more of a unicorn than we thought
