Constantly babysitting this thing. Weber is letting me down.

The Smart Grill of my dreams

We love our Weber SmokeFire pellet grill! This grill strikes the perfect balance of convenience and grilling upgrades, without compromising deep, smoky flavors! Honestly, I don’t know whether it’s the large heating range from 200-600 degrees or the Bluetooth/WiFi connected app that allows me to control the grill from my mobile device that makes grilling almost every night possible! Whether we are cooking a brisket low & slow overnight (making sure to start with SmokeFire’s Smoke Boost function!!!) or getting steaks perfectly seared over an open flame, fueled by Weber’s 100% wood pellets, at 600 degrees, our SmokeFire grill constantly delivers delicious food, with ease and convenience.
I am a Weber partner; and I received my grill as a gift.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great when it works… which is half the time

I have had this grill a week or so and when it works it has made great flavorful and evenly cooked food. However just about every other time I use it there seems to be a nee and different issue, some not even covered in the troubleshooting guide. For example my auger once decided to just turn on and stay on and fill the bottom with pellets… the low temp alarm when the temperature remains too low for too long doesn’t seem to work, and occasionally the grill seem to heat up to way over temperature randomly…. I had hoped for morr

Not happy with the amount of pellets it uses and really upset with the igniter.
For the money I expected more out of Webber. Have had great experience with Webber products before this.

Hi! Thank you for being a long-time Weber fan and for taking the time to leave feedback about your SmokeFire grill. We see that our support team is working with you to help you love your SmokeFire, we will follow-up with you there.
Overall I really like this grill. I have a traditional competition style offset smoker, but due to my schedule on the weekends, it's difficult for me to constantly monitor the temp. With the smokefire, it is almost a set it and forget it. For that barbecue on saturday afternoon, I can start a brisket at 10 pm the night before, and have it ready the next day. And sleep through the night! The only problem I have had with the smoker is it has on occasion spilled out too many pellets, which caused and over temp. I believe this caused the plastic insulator on the mount for the igniter to melt, which caused the igniter to fail. Weber was quick to send replacement parts for this. I'd recommend maybe changing the insulator to silicone, as it can take temps into the 700 degF range easily, or just make it all ceramic.
Love it. Only negative is that I wish it came stock with more counter top space. You’ll likely want to get the front foldable accessory. But the grill is outstanding. I use it for both smoking and grilling. I find myself looking for reasons to use it.
The grill is great. The assembly of the grill was fun to do. The only disadvantage is that we lost precious time starting it the first time. The ignition starter I chose to install didn't work, and we didn't what was wrong so we spent more time exploring and found the issue. We replaced it with one of the spare ones and it worked beautifully. Happy with the quality as well. We're grillin'!
