I love the smoker for the exception of the hopper. It has feeding issues. An over night cook needs attended to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Glad to hear that you are enjoying your new SmokeFire EX6! We certainly would not expect any feeding issues with this unit. We recommend using Weber pellets, but the key is that you want to make sure that the pellets you are using (including Weber pellets) don't have dust or have broken down, which can happen if you or a dealer are storing them in a humid environment, handling them roughly, or if the bag has been left open for some time. The pellets should have a crisp snap when broken instead of tearing or ripping apart. We will contact you shortly to ensure your grill is working as it should. Thanks!
After going through the shut down procedures when having the grill at 600 it seems to not get rid of all the pellets in the auger. So when restarted again the firebox gets clogged and doesn’t start until all the pellets are removed.

Thank you for leaving a review for the SmokeFire EX6. There are a few factors that might go into why the pellets are getting caught.

Very happy with temp control and how well it has smoked a brisket. (Accessories) Not happy with the side shelf it's not what I expected from weber, shelf is flimsy and a couple a gauges too thin(poor design). The front shelf is a bit better feels stury but I don't like the two piece design. Also the handle is really close to the shelf and needs to be raised up. I will be repositioning the handle a bit higher. Would recommend to a friend but would also let them know about the shelves.
Just love it. I’m a guy, this is a machine… So easy, set it from your phone if you want. Start it up, set temp, add food, wait…eat. It holds your temperature from low and slow 200, up to 600 plus. Who needs 600 degrees? Want that steak now? My wife and I assembled it over a couple of beers, added our pellets and started cooking. Weber Smokefire E6 is fun. It’s just so cool to use it. We added fold down shelves and just lovin it. Did I mention it’s fun, oh, and very easy.
This is a beautiful, very impressive grill. This is our first pellet grill coming from a charcoal grill, and I LOVE the ability to control the temp, use built in thermometers, and control the smoke if I want. I have 4 stars because the right side of the grill probably cooks 50 degrees cooler than the left side, but with so much cook space that's okay. The fuse blew the first week we had it and had to be replaced, but other than that the second Gen works perfectly. All our neighbors are jealous!
I've been very pleased with this grill so far. Assembly was straight forward and all the parts fit well. It gets up to cooking temperature very quickly. I've cooked BBQ and grilled steaks an burgers so far and all have been good. It seems to do a good job holding the cooking temperature, and the phone app is a definite plus.
