    Interesting that Weber would send the new model sear+ to be reviewed with a completely new design in the works. As a side note, my order was confirmed Saturday, however I haven't received additional shipping information. There site now shows the unit is not currently available. Hmm...

    Looks like my gasser when searing steaks.

    RJHokie You should be good. They’ve had 3 years to improve the software and firmware which were the biggest problems. They also reworked the hopper on the Sear models which was the next weakest point. Now the bad news, they’re coming out with a whole new pellet grill which is why the current models are $400 off. It will be called the Searwood. However, depending on how they’ve redesigned it, the bad news could be on them for abandoning the design that made the Smokefire unique. You’ll enjoy being able to grill and smoke well on that Sear+

    With many cooks on my Smokefire v2, I haven't had a grease fire issue. Of course, I do take off the grates and wipe out the bottom every couple of weeks.

    Whether it gets one star or five, thanks for stepping up and taking one for the team 😉. Congrats!

    I couldn't wait for the review. Pulled the trigger on the smokefire sear+ Saturday. ($400 bucks off.) Should be here in a week or so. I'm guessing that the product design/engineers folks at Weber have made improvements based on reviews on sites like this one. I'd be surprised if this model doesn't rate "gold."

    Look at the date on those videos. Original version. Problems have been addressed and that horse seems to be dead.

    BabelBBQ I've seen Sear + in action. It can smoke and sear and everything in between.

    Max, I'm looking forward to your review. I have a Weber Genesis 320 and a pit boss 820. My hope is to learn if I can get away with selling those two and buying a smokefire sear+. My wife would be very pleased if I did a 2 for 1.

    I too once had a grease fire on my Grilla when I turned the temp up to 450 from 225 to char some peppers. Moral of the story? Veggies are bad 🤪

    Ok, what about these?

    I got a grease fire in my Grilla, once, from doing a load of wings, and admittedly I hadn't cleaned her out when I should've. I think it's like complaining a certain car or truck can go in the ditch on a wintry day, it's more user error than the machine itself.

    Folks getting grease fires are doing something wrong, like not paying attention. Cooking comes with responsibilities.
