Good points on the grease issues. I'll keep updating on how mine is working. Hoping more fixes are on the way.That's the good thing with it being a Weber, you know that their support will be solid and the issues are worked through.
On the ash and grease, if the ratio is right then yes, it probably could just carry it down. I'd be surprised if that's always going to be the case though. Again, completely different design and pellet brand matters too but on a long cook my Rectec generates a decent amount of ash. I would think I'd end up with a paste on quite a number of cooks. I do think Weber tried to minimize the ash by the design of their fire pot. On mine, the only place for the ash to go is to be blown by the fan into the barrel. Whether it's enough or not, not sure.
The other problem I would think with testing the design is how much variation there is with the amount of grease even when cooking the same item. I'll have five cooks in a row with a pork shoulder and not much seems to accumulating in the drip pail, Then on cook six, I fill it half way up suddenly. No idea why some of them are that much more "juicy".
Good luck with the smoker though, it is a cool design if they can get it all sorted out.
