Weber Smokefire ex4 Review after 15 cooks

Honest review after 15 cooks on my weber smokefire ex4 after 15 cooks

[@RobertStokes-vb5lg]

Great video, you restored my faith in Weber Pellet grills. You really understand the backyard barbecue cooks, keep making your truthful videos, we’ll be anxiously waiting for the next one.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

thanks. i appreciate it . i put the webersmokefire gen2 up against any pellet grill.

[@maille5243]

Scotty have had the EX6 since they came out over 2 years ago. Have only replaced glow plug in it. The thing is a beast ...never had a grease fire...it just doesn't happen.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Nice. Thanks for watching. Love my smoke fire

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I’ve never used a pellet grill. Is it any better than charcoal or propane? You have a serious collection of grills though! Drip pan!! :-)

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Thanks. Charcoal better then pellet..I try to show folks u can make good bbq on any type of pit.

[@richwells558]

Great video. The drip pan is indespensable. A must for easy cleanup 👍 Great idea on using the shop vac for cleaning. Blessings 🙏

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Thanks for watching

I know you prefer WSM for briskets, but how does the EX4 do with brisket in comparison.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Ex4 does an amazing brisket.. just lacks the great wood flavor. But not by much.

[@oistein74]

EX4 is on sale here in Sweden for 600usd. So tempted but I read mixed reviews. Any advice?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Buy it.if its the gen 2 model. Keep it clean . It will turn out the best food.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Use lumberjack or bearmountain pellets

[@oistein74]

@@ScottysBackYardBBQ How can I tell what generation it is?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

@oistein74 If you're buying it new at a store, it's gen 2

[@oistein74]

@@ScottysBackYardBBQ I just bought online it from a retailer (not Weber) in Sweden and all warranties are good. I did compare the part number to the one at Weber website and it's the same so it should be gen 2. Tnx for replies sir and bon appetite 👍

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

Great review and easy clean up and that drip pan is a must Great review my brother

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

thanks 805, i just love this pit. to bad newbie bbq guys gave it a bad wrap. but in the hands of this pitmaster i make it sing lol

[@user-et3kk4tn4s]

Thanks man. Was the master built charcoal next to it? How does that compare?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Close to the same. The master built burns more fuel

[@bobbicatton]

I am definitely team drip pan! Your shop vac made quick work of that cleanup👍

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

yes i been using drip pans since 1981m mum get mad at me i used here good cake pan lol

One year later and Weber has a clean sheet new design in early 2024. Let's hope Weber learned to do better R&D before selling us junk.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Seems. They are doing better.

[@thollingsworth4910]

Mine failed after 3 1/2 hours into its first cook. Prior to that it had inconsistent temp readings and difficulty accepting software updates

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Sorry to hear that. I never updated any apps yet. I don't use my phone. Try it with out the app.

[@thollingsworth4910]

@@ScottysBackYardBBQ It's going back and getting my 1200 dollars back. Weber should stick to propane grills with manual burner knobs.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

@@thollingsworth4910 ok. sorry it didnt work out for you

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Very nicely done. great pit. A little pricy for what you get but she makes good food!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

[@daviddore-smith5978]

How is your Smokefire? Still running good?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Still going strong. No problems. Love it.

[@chrisbinder2580]

How long did it take to get to 600 from start up?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

[@chrisbinder2580]

Wow that is rediclously fast, thank you!

[@ChrisHansenBBQ]

[@jayjones2929]

Looking to buy one. Waste of time here. Not a review of a smoker but a review of cleaning it. Time I’ll never get back and have no more idea of what to expect out of the smoker.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

It's good smoker. Over 200 cooks no problems

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Thank you. Yes i see what your tslking adout. I am doing this over. Thanks. Bideo be up soon

[@rdrnr033]

Where do you put your drip pan. Watched a couple of your videos but didn’t see where it’s at. Thanks.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

i place it right under the meat. i do not always use a drip pan. depends on what i am cooking. some times its a water pan..
