Hey guys,
For those that don't know, I got invited to Weber to see the new pellet grill (Weber doesn't sponsor me, but Weber paid for my travel expenses so I could go.) I got some great info about how the cooker was made and what all went into it. It was fun to see the mothership and all the people who were there. I got a chance to meet the often mentioned "Weber engineers" and see where they do their thing. It was very eye-opening.

For those that don't like watching videos, here's the 50000 foot view. I think Weber did exactly what they needed to do. The grill isn't perfect...but for $1199 I think they hit a home run. They did a lot of homework on the front end, and it really paid off. They engineered a lot of the problems common with pellet grills out of this one while retaining what people love about them. One thing they said that stuck with me was they tried to make a cooker that could "Sear like a Genesis and smoke like a Weber Smokey Mountain" and I think they got really close on both ends.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you guys.
