Weber smokefire shipped - Page 3

mcyork28 · 02-06-2020, 11:57 AM

I understand it's a big product launch but I am a little disappointed with the lack of any type of firm ship dates.

rwalters · 02-06-2020, 12:06 PM

Did anyone else see these briskets that Kevin Kolman (Weber’s Grill Master) smoked on his Smokefire for this past Sunday’s Super Bowl? He posted them on FB. Man, these new Smokefires turn brisket to gold... [emoji39][emoji39]

Rather, it will ship tomorrow for mid/late next week delivery at best. Boy, I sure hope Weber starts tightening up a few things around there.

I'm fine with next week arrival though. Gives me time to find a good brisket and some other stuff. I won't be cancelling my order like some others I've seen.

Must have been a counterfeit $20... [emoji849]

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It's like auto-tune for brisket!

Edit: I actually laughed out loud when I saw these pictures. Thanks Robb! Gosh... I wonder what exactly happened in these pictures for that to happen.

No idea... but they sure did catch my eye as “different!” Definitely some type of filter being used... and perhaps Big Poppas Desert GOLD rub... lol.

I’m guessing it’s Weber steak and chop.

JiveTurkey · 02-06-2020, 02:34 PM

It looks like a dusting of rub right before wrapping. Add a cool filter and you're an instagram star! Cool pic though.

You know relative to what they will sell in total their "influence" is closer to 0 than it is 1 right?

Maybe it’s just me, but that pic isn’t selling me anything. It looks overexposed and processed to my eyes. Maybe they’re trying to impress us with their cool post-smoke rub, but it doesn’t make me want to hit the order button asap to try & duplicate it.

looks like mustard bleeding through and someone getting too crazy with the HDR toning in Photoshop

SmoothBoarBBQ · 02-06-2020, 07:16 PM

I'm glad that people are seeing through the effects and rub-touch-up after the cook in that brisket picture. Things like that always throw up red flags...if this thing is cooking as well as you say it does, then why the need for these kind of effects?

Anyways, I'm happy for the people who are about to get their new cookers. I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks of videos and posts about the SmokeFire. While I'm not really interested in buying one my curiosity has gotten the best of me.

Umm....it's Instagram, everything is filtered and misrepresented

Hinds15 · 02-06-2020, 08:06 PM

It's a pellet smoker/grill nothing will change that. I just don't see how it will be drastically different than others as far as smoke and flavor profile go.

4ever3 · 02-06-2020, 08:29 PM

Did anyone ever buy a PG for the “flavor profile” though?
