It has arrived!!

[SmokeMeister]

Just delivered!! Can’t wait to get it put together!

Came with a free bag of grillmaster blend pellets.

 

[BarreBQ]

Woohoo!!! What’s the first cook going to be?

 

[SmokeMeister]

Good question! Maybe a pork shoulder, something easy.

I have some Snake River Farms wagyu ribeyes that I want to try smoking until 120 and then searing to finish, but I want to get a little familiar with it before trying that. I’m anxious to see if I can get a good sear!

Congrats! Please share insights on packaging and assembly when you get a chance. Some of us are still waiting for bbqguys to send shipping info ...

 

[Brad S]

Wow Congrats! As the first recipient I hereby dub thee Weber Pellethead Prime!

 

[primeone]

Congrats!! Can't wait to hear how the first cook goes! Pics are a must!

 

[Brad S]

Oops sorry we already have a prime as in primeone.

Initial thoughts are that it’s packaged very well. The assembly guide is detailed and easy to follow.

@SmokeMeister - please post something, pics, videos, general love, impressions- for the rest of us. This has been the longest wait ever, I assume it is worth it. Super jelly right now.

So I guess I’m not the only one that checked this page all night waiting for some rib pics...

2:00am my wife sees me on the phone and thought I was searching porn... nope! Just meat.

Sorry for the delay! It snowed a couple inches last night and was about 20 degrees this morning. Assembly was pretty easy.

Paired with phone easily and did an update that took around 15 minutes.

First startup did not go as planned. Set to 600 to “season” for 30 mins per manual. Started smelling smoke, but 5 mins later temp had not gone up and it gave an E6 start up failure error and did a shutdown.

Currently waiting 15 mins for that then will power cycle and try again.

Hopefully this is just a fluke??

 

[Brian Vallotton]

Dang! I hope it goes alright for you! Let us know please.

 

[SmokeMeister]

Well, it's heating up like crazy now! The manual didn't mention it, but I wonder if I should have primed the firebox with a few pellets since it was completely empty? Been about 10-12 minutes and it's up to 490. I'll let it go for 30 minutes and then it's time to cook something!
