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

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.

It’s beautiful!!! A work of art.

Great smoker for all occassions

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.
