Grill, smoke and bake with the Saffire Grill & Smoker Kamado

Great upgrade to my grill

Absolutely superb grill and smoker, best one I've ever owned. After some practice I can now get it stable at temperatures around 200F for hours without having to adjust anything. Perfect for smoking brisket and other delicacies that takes a long time to finish. The salmon recipe on the Saffire Grills website is also something that I have made many times when we had guests visiting here in Sweden where we moved due to work, and of course brought the saffire grill with us since we can't live without it...I can tell, the neighbors are jealous... Many people here in Sweden wonder where we bought the grill and they get a little disappointed when they realize they have to go to the US and buy it and check in a 250 pound piece at the airport :) Buy it, you won't be disappointed but rather fascinated by the possibilities you have acquired to make extremely fine high end food :)

I purchased the Saffire grill as a birthday gift for my wife to replace a small smoker that just was too small and took a lot of attention. I have only used it 3 times so far. The weather is too hot to smoke during the summer and I just use the gas grill for quick meals. I finally figured out how to regulate the heat and knew that it would take me a couple of days to cook everything I wanted. I cook a lot when I light up a fire because of the heat and will not do it unless it is really necessary. I used the lump charcoal they recommended and was glad I did. They cost more but burn a hotter and longer fire. I decided to purchase the second grid which made it easier. I cooked 2 briskets, 2 pulled pork, 2 slabs of pork ribs and smoked sausage after the fire was cooling down. It took all day each day, but I got it done and was very pleased with the results. I've never been able to smoke a brisket in the past and had given up. Now I will do them more often. I plan to smoke a couple of turkeys for Thanksgiving and expect them to be great. The grill is very easy to clean and I recommend you clean it after each use. I figured out how to catch the grease and that made the job even easier. If you are thinking about a smoker, you may want to consider the Saffire grill. It was worth the money to purchase it and I just wish I'd done it sooner.

I purchased my first Saffire grill soon after I retired from the Navy in 2008 as I wanted another competitor's grill, but I did some research and found the best on the market. I can't tell you the exact year I bought it, but it was before the serial numbers were placed on the hinge. I drove over 50 miles to the nearest dealer, and I have to tell you, he really tried to sell me the grill, but I didn't tell him my mind was made up before I even got to his store. I purchased the black 19" Saffire with a granite-top table, and he was so proud to make the sale. I let him think he made the better sale to me. I've used the Saffire at least once a week when I'm not traveling for work and the weather permits (just rain because I'm in Pennsylvania), and we grill out year around. I love my Saffire so much I recently bought another one. Why? Because of the new features.

It's easier to clean the ash out. I searched forever to find a small metal shovel to fit the access port.
The wood chip insertion. So much easier now with the round port.
The new fire box. Why? I just wanted to try it.

My grill is all original. The only thing I had to replace is the cover. I'm on my 3rd cover just from weather and the sun's rays. Some day I'll build a pavilion for my Saffire collection, smoking and grilling what I need to survive. I'm diabetic and grilled food helps me maintain blood sugar.
