    Glow Plug Holder Fried, not working

    I agree - I wish I had some insight as to why some people have issues with the glow plugs - I'm on my original as well...and it is stored outside all year long in the rainy PNW with just its original Weber cover over it. So sorry you're having issues - trust in Weber customer service...which is...

    Nightmare over... Now what?

    “I am absolutely DISGUSTED…can you believe Weber customer service told me to “go buy your own damn fuse!” Instead of offering to send me one?!?!”” Not much winning here. Especially when nearly all companies have at some point experienced shipping delays of parts and products at various times...

    GMG SmokeFire Friday night pizza.

    Those look amazing! Can I ask what temp and how you did them (on a pan or no, if so, did you take them off the pan part way through, etc.)?

    KZL fabrication sliding grates

    Same boat as ROCKEWEHARD - I bought the lower (only) split grate for my EX4, and I am a huge fan. He was also wonderful to work with and the craftsmanship was great. I would be concerned with a slider of 1) the mess - good call, jpsBBQ, but also 2) the sliders getting gunked up with...

    I can tell you from personal experience that the little bit of money you may save buying off-brand probes is not worth it. The off-brand ones I have tried worked for a bit, but quickly started getting "fussy" at the connection into the unit and losing connection. My experience with the Weber...

    Weber cast iron grates FTW

    Hey, Bruno - love that top grate...where did you get that? I have an EX4 and would love to get that style of grate to help keep food from slitherin' through the cracks...

    Temp Probe Connection Issues

    Yeah...the issue is I have one Weber and one not. They appear identical, but to your point, with small ends like that it would be easy for the contacts not to align perfectly. Not the case since one is Weber and there has been no forcing of ends into ports. Thank you all for the input! I will...

    Temp Probe Connection Issues

    Hi there! I've had an EX4 now for almost a year (Gen 1). I have almost from the very beginning (but now getting worse) had issues with the temp probes not plugging in solidly into the controller. I have one Weber one and one after market, and I experience the same exact issues with both. You...

    HELP! Problems with auger and now glow plug ex4

    I agree with abmet. I actually have a 1st gen EX4, and while Weber sent me the parts, I have yet to install the new auger or any of that. Once I removed the finger guard, no more flow issues at all, and that was probably eight months ago. I will say that ever since the last software update I...

    Anyone have plans to use SmokeFire for Christmas meal?

    What's your preferred method of cooking the rib roast on the SF?

    Worth The Plunge?

    You're spot-on, Bruno....this is my second pellet smoker (had a Louisiana Grills previously), and the SF puts out a MUCH better and more consistent smoke - especially on low temps. I have the SF4, and I love mine.

    Exterior Cleaning Tip!

    Hi, Everyone! I accidentally made a great discovery and wanted to share it with anyone who may be interested... I have the EX4 (though I'm sure this would apply to either model), and noticed that the pellet lid and back of the barrel where the smoke comes out get really gummy...
