Took the plunge and bought a Weber Smokefire. My local Ace had one on the floor and they gave me a couple of hundred off and about half off on a cover. I immediately contacted Weber and requested the pellet hopper ramp and the new auger assembly. They sent them no questions asked so I installed them before firing it up. On burn in it went to 600 with no problems. I'm optimistic they've gotten the bugs worked out. I've heard the flavor it produces is great which is why I bought it. Had a Grilla Silverback but just wasn't happy with the end result. Looking forward to testing it out and comparing the flavor produced to my other grills.
