My New Weber Smokefire EX6

Got the front shelves put together and installed. Was the only thing left to do before doing the initial burn in. Definitely need a pair of needlenose pliers to put that hitch pin in.
The wheels are the replacement casters. Each wheel has a brake on it and the grill rolls like a dream. When you look at the hopper picture, you can see the slick acrylic tape I applied to the ramp.
I took a few pics before lighting it up, Cleanest it will ever be. I ran a Fireboard ambient probe on the grill very close to the Weber ambient probe. Interesting to say the least. During a blast up to 500 deg, there was at one time a 60 deg difference with the Fireboard showing higher temps. As the cooker approached the 500 deg target, the temp difference started getting smaller and smaller until there was a 4 degree difference with the Fireboard showing slightly higher. So I'm pleased with the temps the cooker will have once it starts to stabilize at the target temp.
After that, I began a Smokeboost session. Temps ranged from 130 deg to around 160 deg. during this session as shown on my Fireboard.

I bit as well during the Weber sale that started on Cyber Monday. How was assembly? Any tips? Mine gets here Sunday!

Also curious if Smokefire owners keep their grill covered? I bought the cover, but it will live on a partially covered patio, and would prefer to leave it without the cover as I grill a lot!

Assembly took place over 2 days as my schedule didn't work out right. I also did a few slight mods during assembly. The acrylic tape laid down on the pellet ramp to make a slicker surface. 5" wheels to replace the smaller factory wheels. Makes a lot of difference when moving the grill. And the Weber side and front shelves which are a month.

And I got the cover also. I'll use it when rain is forecast.
