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 siffiregrills.com 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 :)

Great smoker for all occassions

My second Saffire. I have had the first one for 9 years and its still going strong. The new one is for 2nd home. I love them especially the front feeder

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.
