Every time I open or close the grill the second layer of the grill falls off, did you have the same problem?

What brand pellets are you using and what your smoke setting at. And are you using the smoke box at the same time.

In your video, I noticed a gap in the back of your burn pot. It may not be sitting flush, recommend checking it as that can cause Temps to fluctuate or even a flameout. Congrats on three years of ownership. Love my elx6. Weber added a metal heat deflector to the front area on their last model. Suppose to help even out Temps. See if you can find one to add to your cookbox.

I had many smokefire grills and all have the same gap. Idk if it is intentional or a defect.

Great deal. 20yrs ago I bought 6 burner JennAire Propane grill listed at $2250 and paid $500 Dent & Scratch (I've replaced the grids and manifolds twice, but it still runs great!) Yesterday I was at HD and got a Masterbuilt 1050 listed at $978 paid $475. Summer is gonna be Awesome

Sad to see this as that’s generally considered a higher quality product than a Pit Boss or Traeger. I’ve had my Traeger 7 years and have only replaced the hot rod and it runs perfectly. I also have a small Pit Boss that runs very well.

The Pit Boss 850 Competition Series Pellet Grill will out smoke it two to one for less than half the price. And you won't have as much ash encroachment on the Pit Boss either.

I have a Gen 1 EX4 purchased in 5/21. Every working component (controller, igniter, auger chute, auger 2 times, temp sensor) was replaced during the first two years of ownership. A Weber employee replaced the temp sensor at my home. So basically I have a Gen 2 smoker now. I use it several times a month. I believe it puts more smoke on the meat than most if not all other pellet smokers due to the lack of a smoke stack. It’s interesting that many newer models have copied this feature. App is also much improved. I agree, it’s a shame they rushed it to market.

I also have an early gen 2 no problems and still all original parts. Too bad they rushed them to market with so many issues. I believe Weber really killed their chance of being a brand in the pellet grill game.

I just received my XXL Pro last week. They are now shipping the box on a pallet, with shrink wrap around it. I had no dented or bent parts. I smoked 8 racks of babybacks 2 days ago. They had the biggest smoke ring I've ever seen on ribs. They came out great, with very little effort compared to my offset. I ordered it from Amazon btw.

The wood chunks that you put in there are meant to slowly burn and smolder. Those pellets are burning way too fast and in my opinion putting out way too much smoke.
@SweetHavok
@SweetHavok Жыл бұрын
Pellet smokers do smoke but nothing compared to traditional smokers. Now you have a hybrid of sorts, its main heat source are the pellets but it aso has a small firebox for wood chunks that gives off a lot more smoke. That I know of only the camp chef Woodwind pro and the model you show here the XXL Pro have that fire chamber.
