Finally!

[SmokeMeister]

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this SmokeMeister. Let us know how it goes. I do hope you get treated well and that you are not too anxious about it. I hear that they do offer good service. God bless.

Thanks for the concern, I'll keep you posted how it goes.

I got an email back from Weber customer service, seemed nice and genuinely concerned and willing to get it taken care of, so we shall see. I'm thinking tonight I'll remove the grates, flavorizer bars, and heat shield and see how the flame looks when it is going. Maybe I'll be able to notice if it isn't getting enough pellets or air.

A mighty awesome smoke ring on those ribs MnLakeBum.

Mine arrived today and it exceeds my expectations. It took me 70 minutes to uncrate and assemble. A quick test with some ribs and they were a success! I'm looking forward to temps warmer than 25* so I can actually stand outside with a beer and tend the smoker, lol!

Assembly was pretty easy. Took a little less than an hour. So far I am pretty pleased. I am burning in right now. 37 degrees outside right now and raining. The initial temperature when I started said 45 degrees. The times in the pictures are from start up and spaced out every 5 minutes. It hit 600 in 19 minutes! I thought that was decent considering the weather.

Just received my EX4 this afternoon. Got home after work took about 1 hr to assemble. This thing is HEAVY.... Waiting for my pellets to show up tomorrow to burn in the grille. I placed the order on Dec 2nd as soon as you could pre-order. Shipped yesterday from Amazon and showed up today, can't ask for more....

Glad to report the initial burn-in went well. 600 degrees in about 18 min with a 37 deg ambient. Firmware update during the initial fire. System coded out E4 comm issue. Went thru a cool down and a restart and then it hit the magic 600 deg. I was hoping the smoke boost was part of the update but was not. Low end only goes to 200 deg. Hopefully ribs over the weekend if we do not get too much snow tonight.

Got mine from lowes today after realizing they had two listings for each grill. The box will not fit in a GTI, the opening is 2" shy. Lol. so I brought it home unpacked. Got it together and updated the app. Realized I don't have an extension cord so I guess tomorrow we'll see how this baby runs. Hoping to do some steaks first for my lady on valentine's day.
