I owned a smokefire. Had it 3 years. It was a tough 3 years with replacement parts, dropped temps, restarts etc but the flavor was incredible on everything I cooked. From burgers to brisket to steaks. The 600 degrees is what made me go back. I am not reverse searing like an idiot. Soooo I got it today. Put it together. Burned off the inside and made ribs. Not 1 issue. Set temp gtg. Ribs were fantastic as expected. The pellet box was great. A lot easier and no mess. Just did the shutdown and no issue. At this point, if it continues to perform as it did today…I’m incredibly happy. Saturday 20oz strips.
Glad to hear the first cook was a success! I'm tempted to pull the trigger on one of these grills soon.
