freddyjbbq Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like a pretty sweet grill. What is the port in the side and the wand for? I've never seen that before. CharlieB_DE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB_DE Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like a pretty sweet grill. What is the port in the side and the wand for? I've never seen that before. that the chip feeder...lets you add smoke chips and chunks w/o taking the grill apart or smoking yourself adding them and putting all the deflector and stuff back in.... plus adding any extra coal at any stage...and the best I found after you have dished up a pizza and added another the escaped heat you can get back in 2 seconds by feeding small wood chips inot the running fire to stoke up the heat again for teh next pizza..... it really is so cool, I cant believe that no-one else has got anything similar...despite many saying not needed I can say I woudl miss it so much if I didnt have it....

andyscalzo Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Saffires have been around for a while. I have seen them over the years at BBQ shows and they are a decent looking kamado. Saffire's V-Rack and Expander is almost identical to the original Kamado Joe's set-up before their Divide & Conquer upgrade; I am not big on the "chip feeder port" as (1) I don't like using chips, and (2) I never have to add wood chunks during a cook. That feature reminds me a lot like the hinge rack on the cooking grate that Kamado Joe use to feature. It looks good in the show room, but nobody ever used it. You can buy Saffires off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Class-Saffire-Model-Grill/dp/B00YT4IKZ0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449250952&sr=8-2&keywords=saffire+grill http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Class-Saffire-Model-Grill/dp/B00YT4IHEE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_86_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41DnzEvki-L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1KQ71XD4RJBX3YJ5DTR9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
