Hi Backers,
All of our grills are currently warehoused and being shipped out. Marinade injectors have also shipped out. We apologize as we have been unable to make a spreadsheet based on order as we have split the last few batches up among multiple warehouses, all of them third-party. Many backers may be surprised to find their grill arriving without any notice. Thus we advise that remaining backers register with Fedex for updates as your package is shipped out.
Unfortunately, we are experiencing slight delays with our Texas warehouse, due to shipping capacity, only 300 units can go out a week. Once all grills are sent out, the rest of our accessories and sets will follow up. Due to logistics and priority placed on grills, the remaining orders will not follow contribution number order.
We have made a preliminary spreadsheet for everybody's reference in the link below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1do_BqjzIPl0cXE1L0LXXcRmo00y_qmF-CO-E1ivyM2k/edit?usp=sharing
Please note that not all orders may be listed on this current spreadsheet due to shipping issues that we're facing. Rest assured as all backers will receive their remaining items, all in good time.
As we are finishing up the last of our campaign, we will be moving to our official site www.asmokegrill.com as well as on our social media @asmokegrill. For those who have ordered a grill, you can register through our official site. Grill backers can be expecting their digital voucher code in their mail this week! Use the digital code during checkout to redeem!

Hi Backers!
As mentioned in last week's update, we are currently preparing to arrange shipment of marinade injectors to everybody in our previous US batches that didn't have it included within their grill package.
We understand that some time has passed since the initial crowdfunding campaign has started and many may have moved or opted for an address change. We wish for everybody to receive their marinade injector at their desired shipping destination, thus if you have had an address change or will be changing addresses, please email [email protected] with your contribution number as well as your new desired address. This will ensure that your marinade injector goes to the right place in a timely manner. This will give us sufficient time to make sure all shipping addresses are correct and have them shipping within 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of address changes we receive.
We recommend everybody with an address change to reach out to support promptly so we can get everybody's marinade injectors out as soon as possible!
Thank you all for the support and help!

Hi Backers,
Our Canadian Batch orders and US Batch 8 orders are sent out! If you are a US backer with a grill contribution up to 7740, please refer to the following tracking number spreadsheet for your items.
Our Canadian orders have gone out. If you can't find your tracking number on the spreadsheet it may signal that there has been an address / shipping issue. In which case, there will be an email sent to you to notify you of any changes to be made in order for our warehouse to send it out ASAP. As we shipped all CA orders through UPS, we recommend registering an account for updates to get the latest whereabouts on your package on their site.
The rest of our grills (Batch 9 + 10) will be shipping out before the end of the month, as they are expected to arrive at our warehouse. Batch 9 is shipping out next week, containing approximately 1050 grills.
The remaining grills (Batch 10) will all be arriving on the 20th and shipping out then.
Canadian Tracking Number Spreadsheet
Please check on the spreadsheet below if you are a part of the Canadian batch of orders. If your order is not listed, please check your inboxes as there will be an email informing you of a potential address update in instances where shipping isn't fully supported by UPS.

US Batch 8 Tracking Number Spreadsheet
If you're a US backer with a grill contribution within 7740 or still have accessories. Please check on the following tracking number spreadsheet. If your accessories aren't found on the current spreadsheet, please wait as we have another 1000 grills and accessories going out next week and the week after! Many of you may be surpised to find your marinade injector as a part of this batch! Likewise, you may register for tracking updates directly from Fedex on their site as all US orders have been fulfilled by them.
https://bit.ly/33PWxwl
We would like to remind everybody that earlier batches that didn't receive their marinade injector, we are in the process of warehousing all of them and will be sending them individually out to everybody next week! Thus, there will be two different spreadsheets scheduled for next week. One for Batch 9 and another for marinade injectors.
As majority of people will have received their grill by next week, we would like to remind everybody that our vouchers will be sent digitally to everybody by email and to be redeemed on our official website. Our official website is currently under construction, where a lot of the functionality is limited, thus we recommend to wait until mid-October to register your grill and to redeem your voucher. An official notice will be sent out to inform everybody of the official launch of our site!
Thank you to all of our backers, and we wish everybody a great smoke!

Hi Backers!
ASMOKE's Core Mission And Philosophy
We would like to share with everybody our core mission and goal when starting ASMOKE. We believe that in order to get superior flavor out, we must put superior ingredients in first. As a grill is only a tool that delivers smoke into our meats, the catalyst for true flavor comes from the quality of the pellets used for superior smoke flavor.
We have yet to see a brand utilize 100% pure mesquite, hickory or applewood. No fillers, no blends, no additives, no flavoring oils. Yet the main reason why we choose these types of pellets is for the unique flavor that comes from these woods. Every brand out there utilizes a hardwood blend containing only a small percentage of the actual wood that provides the core flavor behind the pellets.
In light of Traeger's class action suit that revealed there was 0% of mesquite wood in their pellets, instead opting to use mesquite flavoring oils infused into alder or oak, while claiming to be pure mesquite pellets. We knew something had to be done.
(More info found here: https://trofire.com/2019/10/22/lawsuit-claims-traeger-pellet-grills-selling-fraudulent-wood-pellets/)
That is why we started ASMOKE as a way to transform and evolve pellet grilling culture, and provide everybody with an all-natural, 100% pure fruitwood alternative. We refuse to utilize any blends, fillers or additives in our pellets. Instead, we wish to provide only the freshest and most natural applewood so that everybody can enjoy authentic smoke flavor direct from nature's finest ingredients. We owe it to ourselves and our meats to use only the purest of pellets to achieve that rich applewood taste.
Not All Pellets Are Made The Same
Although flavor speaks for itself, we've even put other pellets to the test against ours. We would love to share with everybody our findings and challenge everybody to taste the ASMOKE difference. Afterall, nothing beats authenticity.
Flavor-wise, we chose the best pellets on the market, and opted to compare Pitboss competition blend pellets against ours in a side-by-side test.
The Results:
Throughout the burn, we found that hardwood blended pellets experience greater temperature fluctuations and had a harder time maintaining temperature. This is most apparent in any PID temperature control system like the one found on the ASMOKE grill. Making it harder for PID control to adjust its algorithm correctly to maintain proper temperatures.
As a result, it uses an average of 20% more pellets to achieve the same temperature against ASMOKE's 100% pure applewood pellets. Consistent and steady temperatures are critical in providing our meat an even distribution of heat throughout each cook.
Can you guess which is the competition blend and which is our pure applewood pellet ash?
A clean burn doesn't necessarily mean 'less ash' but instead the results from the whole burn process itself as well as the potential health implications. The competition blend pellets, when burned, revealed oils and alcohols within the pellets causing it to burn more similar to charcoal. Leaving behind a black resin-like residue, whereas our 100% applewood pellets will burn clean with only pure ash from all-natural wood.
Your Health Matters. Why Do We Wish For A Clean And Complete Burn?
Technically speaking, incomplete burning of the competition blend pellets produces benzo(a)pyrene, a carcinogenic gas found in the burning of coal, tobacco, and tar. We would never want such carinogens to be infused into our smoked meat. Good health and authentic flavor is priceless. Thus, we need to put good in, to get good out and ultimately feel great at the end of the day.
Our flavor is tried and true and we challenge everybody to taste and feel the difference when using pure all-natural ingredients for their next cook! After all, the reason why we choose pellet grilling is for a traditional and authentic wood-fire cooking experience. Plain and simple.
As always, happy smokin'!
