My step dad has a pit boss smoker and we use it almost every weekend! He smoked about 5 pork shoulders and briskets for his employees for Xmas. They were thrilled to say the least!! He just recently got a Blackstone griddle and we've used it for breakfast and supper for the 2 days we've had it. My 14 yr old daughter especially loves it!! Shes done all the cooking. Pancakes and eggs, Hibachi, Home fries, and tacos.

Great review Thank You

Thanks for watching

As a previous Traeger+ user, I must say my switch to Asmoke has been a game-changer for my grilling experience. The precise temperature control feature of the Asmoke grill, paired with its portability, has significantly improved my cookouts. The convenience of the Asmoke Essential's battery power allows me to grill wherever I want, from my backyard to tailgating at games, without any hassle. I've also been exploring different flavors with the variety of wood pellets available. The smoky flavor it imparts to the food is truly unbeatable! I appreciate the thought put into the ASCA™ technology and the new FlameTech patent, it makes cooking more efficient and cleaning much easier. And the app's remote temperature adjustment and recipe sharing features are just the icing on the cake. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade in their grilling game. #Asmoke

Anyway, thanks for reviewing the Weber pellet grill. They finally may have caught up to the rest of the pellet grill products.

The real issue with pellet smokers is cleaning/maintenance. Would be great if you made a video showing the reality of this process. Thanks. Subbed.

I do not own one of these (yet) but from the tons of reviews I have watched, cleaning on this one doesn't seem bad at all, at least compared to my traeger. I mean, yes, cleaning is annoying, but this one seems to be less annoying than what I have experienced. I will be interested in a 6 month review, when these have been out a while.

@@c5jp904 I'm not sure since I don't have one yet. I do most of my cooking on an Oklahoma Joe Bronco and a Big Joe kamado. The 'cleanup' for each is about 2 minutes, no grease management, no disassembly and no shop vac. A FireBoard controller gives me 100% automation. The kamado will hold 225 for 12 hours on about $3 worth of lump. Because of all this I'm still trying to see the benefit of adding a pellet smoker in my case.

FYI, I have the Smokefire and it absolutely can hit 600F without even breaking a sweat. So that’s not an issue”issue” it had. I have grilled many steaks on it with major success. My steaks get that charcoal grate sear every time.

you are probably keeping the cover closed until the last moment of putting the steaks on? The cover will help bring it up to 600 degrees?

Thank you very much for the review! Great job! Seems a little finicky like to power down y is there just not just one button to do so? Same with the sear y not just be able to set a temp? Anyone know how that compares to a traeger? Lastly seems like you can’t zone cook very easily but I guess it would be relatively easy to reverse sear those steaks

What’s the lowest setting it can go for temperature? Just wondering so if you wanted to use it for a long rest/hold if it would be able to do that job?

FYI: You will get those charcoal grill marks with the Pit Boss models you don't get from the Weber XL.

How's the grease management been changed vs last gen unit? That was a real issue with bad fires.

I’m a SmokeFire EX6 Gen2 owner, lucky to not have the issues of other users. Family and friends love the cooks I have done with the SmokeFire including grilling at 600+ degrees. I believe the Manual Mode is intended for when you open the lid, not leave the lid open the entire time. I do not have Manual Mode on my SmokeFire, so when I open the lid the temperature drops quickly. I would set the temperature to 600, wait for the grill to get to temperature, then switch to Manual Mode at 10 to grill, with closing the lid when you don’t need it open. The reason for 1 - 10 is to match the temperature you are looking to maintain. So I would imagine Manual Mode 5 is equal to 300 degrees. Also the quality of the pellets and other techniques give an amazing smoke flavor. If you want I could give you tips for a brisket or pork shoulder to get great smoke flavor. You could use charcoal pellets to get the charcoal flavor

Same. I too have the 2nd gen Smokefire and absolutely love it. The grease fire “problem” never happens because I keep mine clean.

i would like to have the griddle included in your review however; your presented the grill very well.

Always an informative video! Hoe do you get your oven to 150 degrees! 170 degrees is my lowest!

I wish i could afford a pellet grill ive wanted one for years. But i just cant afford one. I really enjoyed the video

I heard using the charcoal pellets is the way to go. Also I would get a full cover for your Gozney dome. My wood (bambo) got toasted leaving it uncovered. I used milk paint oil to bring it back to life. Their new cover is heavy duty and great quality. Love the content! 🍻

I’ve had my 600 for two months and I agree the manual mode could be better. Grilling is not its best feature but overall it’s been an amazing pellet smoker. 8.5/10.

@@joerizoz1125 it’s ok to use manual mode for these but don’t expect to get same results from cooking on a gas grill. Sear marks aren’t the same. However I found a hack that can produce great results. Use temperature setting to 600 degrees then cook your meat as usual with lid on but constantly keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook.

My understanding is that the key for proper searing is to set the temp to 600 degrees, and once up to temp, THEN switch to manual mode 10

When cooking the steaks, your grates are covered with ash! Is this typical?

How was the smoke flavor compared to a charcoal smoker?

It’s a much milder taste.

Searing with the lid closed is the way to go. I have reverse seared 2 tri tips so far at 600 with the lid closed between turns and got an excellent sear. Ive posted a KZread video with the results under my account.

I agree, and that sear plate from Weber makes all the difference. I did some ribeyes with smoke boost to 110 and reverse seared after rubbing them with wagyu tallow, phenomenal!

I don’t think you can compare this to charcoal for grilling. Would you rather grill with this or with gas if charcoal isn’t an option?

1000% the outer thirds are the sear zones for sure.

Too bad didn’t use probes n show us if it alerts & cuts off at temp

I think your sear would have been better had you closed the lid. Get high temp and then put steaks on.

Correction: my Pit boss x2 have a center ports you can open for direct searing and hits about 500 + degrees!

Weber dropped the ball on this one, there should be two front wheels for ease of moving.
