Their site was helpful years ago when it was one of only a few BBQ/grilling sites, but there are so many more sources nowadays that I hardly ever visit them anymore. I still don't know what's going on with Meathead, but he seems to be having some kind of break with reality over the past few weeks.

IMO reviewers that secret squirrel purchase off the shelf items hold more weight than those that take review units and become beholden to the manufacturers for free loot.

They did claim in the review they purchased their SmokeFire.

That's interesting. I wonder what percentage of reviews mention how the reviewed item was obtained. When I looked at the Mak and BGE reviews I couldn't find a mention of whether they paid off the shelf, it was given to them or a UFO dropped it off.

I was at a Weber dealer today and saw my first Smoke Fire. Please accept my apologies if this has previously been posted. The pellet hopper (angle) was sealed with white caulk (both size grills) making it difficult to adjust. Nasty looking caulk job, curious if other folks had seen this. BTW, the grills were already marked down $200.00

I saw that also a week or so ago. Really left me scratching my head. I'm not a pellet guy but I don't get why the caulk was there in the first place. As noted above a very sloppy job - sad.

Big Weber Original Store Spring opening events coming up in Vienna later this month.
Apart from the season's new Gas grill presentation there are also the usual cooking demos and at center stage the new Weber SmokeFire will be presented / demonstrated in all its glory. A couple of things that I have noticed. No charcoal grills are used in the promo pamphlet that came with the post today. 6 x 20x30cm double side colour promo and not one kettle or WSM. Title page with a Genesis, followed by one page of Genesis models, one page Spirit models, one page SmokeFire, and two pages competitions, promotions, cooking courses, directions, etc., The big SmokeFire is retailing for €1,499.- ($1,671US) and the small one €1,199.- ($1,337US) Big hits in anyone's language. I wonder if any of the known problems will be addressed by anyone attending ... I've come to the conclusion that Weber is now a life style product. |

I’ve been a Weber user/fan. I was really hoping this SF was going to be a hit. I was skeptical just because they were coming to market without even having a side shelf. No Front shelf. Ok. I see that as an add on. But no side shelf & a controller that was still in a pretty much beta mode. I see little things possibly needing tweaked in a newer model. That’s normal. But the pellets not sliding down & the grease management system being an issue. Weber should not be selling these at all. Most would respect & give Weber another shot if they had just owned up to it. Call it a supplier error or whatever. I think they’ve probably lost a lot of customers with their whole attitude about this. Their service is usually pretty top notch but I’ve really lost faith in them at this point. Hopefully they take care of everyone involved. All they’ve done is push me into buying another brand’s grill.

I forgot all about the caulk. Maybe not a big deal, but wonder how it will hold up over time, outdoors.
