In this video we look at the repair of a Weber SmokeFire EX4 Gen1 pellet grill. I bought this grill off of Facebook Marketplace. It was reduced from $100 down to $40 due to the bad motherboard. I think it was a come get this thing out of my way deal. It was an awesome buy and ended up being a fun quick fix. I also spend time on video troubleshooting the grill issues with hot surface igniter (glow plug) and the pellet feed bridging by adding a repeat timer and vibrator to the hopper as well. I can also upload a video of replacing the parts to make this a Gen2 grill if needed. I know this issue has been around for some time and it may not be needed any longer. Hope you find the video helpful and thanks for watching!
