The grill is heavy, high quality and a proper Weber version of a pellet smoker. I have owned three other pellet smokers from other major brands and they have all ended up in the landfill. I am so happy to be back with Weber grills again. I had 20 years with Weber pre-pellet and so glad to be back. The quality the ability to clean and replace any parts will make this my grill for a decade ahead minimum. All three previous pellet grills never made it more than 2 years before falling apart.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hot spot! The right side burns a lot hotter than the left. So everything you cook you have to keep an eye on so that you are not burning it! This is my first pellet smoker so not sure if this normal? But I will say all in all I am really liking it👍

I love my EX6. It was my first choice when I decided to buy a smoker in Feb 2022 but it wasn't available in my area so I bought a competitor's top model which was recommended by a friend. It was a disaster. The control board went out after 4 smokes and it took 6 weeks to get a replacement board. I returned the inferior one and bought my EX6 online. Now I smoke and grill at least 3x a week and the results have been nothing but outstanding. I rarely give anything 5 stars, but I will give my EX6 4.5 stars!

So far so good ... not so happy with the app.. if you have a Alert... It should continue to go off until the operator stops it. All night cooks.
And get a flame out.. you only get i little notice.. if you miss it then your screwed..

I’ve only done two cooks on this smoker so far. One was about 4 hours, the other about two hours. Both cooks went flawlessly. The smoker maintained temperature very well. I haven’t had any issues lighting but the smoker did come with 2 extra glow plugs which I appreciate. Contrary to some of the complaints about the glow plug, I’m not experiencing that issue. Glow plugs are a common issue with all smokers in my opinion. A friend has a competitor’s smoker and his glow plug went out after a year. This isn’t a deal breaker for me anyway as it’s still possible to manually light in an emergency. I love the huge cooking space. I have 3 other Weber charcoal grills. One is a performer that’s 27 years old and still going strong! Love Weber!!

Got this smoker because it’s a Weber and have all other Webber grilling products, gas and charcoal. Tried it out with a brisket. Go big or go home! Had some issues with updates to the grill when I was “seasoning” the grill but I think some of that was user error.
The two issues I have with the grill happened when I was cooking said brisket. 1) I got a flame out, I had notification set on the app but it didn’t register. And I lost a lot of temp. Plus it is a PITA to clean it. If I had a full grill of food, it would have been miserable, to have to remove everything. Plus all the steps to clean it? My food would have went bad before it was fixed. If you have that happen in the middle of cooking that alarm/notification should be screaming at me!!
2). Temperature probes. They worked great, but how do you get them INTO the grilling area?? If you put them in under the lid, won’t they crimp by the lid? So I had to run them in the vents in back. Saw some charing on them but the steel braid coating was good.
Have a hole to run them through on the side, that is sorta covered.

Other then those two issues, worked good and enjoyed the grill, can’t wait to use it some more!!
