Weber Complimentary Ramp Accessory

[BarreBQ]

Just got an email from Weber and they are sending a complimentary accessory to improve the ramp feed. Has anyone else gotten this in? Any reviews?

First I have heard about this.

This is on Weber website (I see they have created a SmokeFire FAQ link at the top of their webpage

That said, we’ve heard the feedback on this – and we have developed a fix to improve the user experience when it comes to the pellet flow in the hopper. These will be available beginning March of 2020.

Just took a look, thanks

This is encouraging... my alternative to this grill is a decked out Yoder YS640 so I’m going to give it a full trial before shelling out $2600. Id love them to fix the pellet feed and temp variations. I’m not as concerned with the grease fire because I am a drip pan fan and a clean freak. Hopefully I don’t regret that.

Between the ramp, potential auger replacement, and software updates... we should be good to go.

Agreed. Mine is working well. I just don't trust the pellet feed on a long cook and that's why I bought it.

Same... I value my sleep... otherwise I’d stick to an offset stick burner

My interpretation of the troubleshooting section is they are blaming non-Weber pellets as causing problems, which is a little disappointing on their part IMO. Also I noticed that they say the glow plug needs to be replaced every 150 cooks. I doubt that's a warranty item or know what the cost is.

 

[BarreBQ]

150 cooks? That seems low... that’s a year or less the way I do it. Seems like it should be by hour as well.

Right, still have my offset but as you say I like to sleep.

I’ve only used Weber pellets and I’ve had the feed issues with the hopper

Just saw a person posted that they would send them a ramp too. Wonder if this is for both EX4 and EX6.

Be sure to post some pics once you receive it. Interested to see what it looks like.
