Hi all. Fairly new to posting here. I’m normally a stick burner ( Lang 36). I just purchased a Weber ex6 for our summer place. Thought it would be a little easier. Smoking a brisket on it for the first time Monday 4th. Any recommendations with this grill? Should I follow my same cook that I do on my Lang? Appreciate any input. Thanks all Dan

Generally with pellet grills for the most smoke you want to do 225 cooks, or a variation of 150-200 (whatever the low smoke temp is) for a period of time and then 225-275. But the Weber from what I've seen generally likes to smoke better in the 250 range? glitchy had one and may be able to provide much better first hand experience. I will say that I very rarely wrap or spritz on my pellet grill, and I find some of the methods of non-pellet grills (such as water pans or foil boating) to produce results not as good as just going no wrap the whole way for my tastes.

Welcome to the pit! I smoked packers on the second shelf on the SmokeFire with a big foil pan under them on the main grate. 200-225 overnight, then bumped temps 250-275 in the morning. I’d recommend Lumberjack MHC or Weber Grillmaster blend pellets. If you don’t have a stealth, you probably want to remove the finger guard and use a remote thermometer to make sure it doesn’t flameout overnight.

Hi Glitchy, Thanks for the info. I saw something online about removing the finger guard. I noticed when I did some burgers on it that the pellets did not slide all the way down and it gave me a warning of low pellets.
So 2nd shelf No wrap after stall? I was thinking putting it on at 3 but I’ll try late evening low temp.
Thanks again! Dan
