I love this pellet grill. The best flavor I have ever had absolutely amazing. Does it all steaks in 10 min perfect. The only downfall is a couple glitches that weber takes care of with a phone call.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This grill is really great for the most part. My only gripe is that there is a lot of ash on the bottom of the cooking chamber which blocks and absorbs grease drippings. This I think can lead to grease fires in the chamber. That is the only problem I can see so far with cooking. QC out of the box wasn't so hot either. As I had the Ash Tray housing all beat up, but the box it was in was not damaged at all, a wheel that wouldn't screw in, a dent on the outside of the cooking housing, and the lid doesn't close all the way on the right side. I was sent a new wheel which screwed on perfect, a new pristine ash tray housing, and was offered a new outside cooking chamber housing, but I didn't want to take apart the grill for it. So Customer Service is awesome here. Overall, this is one of the best grills around for the price. I love being able to switch to grilling after smoking steaks for a little bit (reverse sear) so easily. I love how even it is in the chamber when smoking. I dropped off one star for the ash and the QC. Otherwise this would be a fiver.

The SmokeFire does a great job with low and slow cooking/smoking. I am still struggling with getting hamburgers and steaks to turn out as good as on charcoal. It does maintain temperature well at both low and high temperatures.

This is a great smoker that uses heat from below to get the job done. The app in connectivity I have worked flawlessly. My only issue with this smoker is the top rack supports are very flimsy.

This is my second pellet grill. I came from a Silverbac which I was less than impressed with. But this is about the EX6. First and foremost, I actually get a smoke flavor from this grill. If you’ve had a pellet grill and didn’t like it then you know what I’m talking about. The Weber design is so much different all the way around and they’ve made good improvements since the first generation. Personally, I have not had any flameouts or grease fires but I maintain the grill like I should. And it’s easy to clean. There is no grease bucket which I really like. I don’t have grease running down the legs and staining my patio. The grease channels internally and empties into a grease pan that’s held in place below the smoking chamber inside a drawer. No mess and easy to clean and empty. What I really like is the hot spot on the right of the firebox. With upwards of 700° flames, it’s designed to let you sear or grill fast and hot. I don’t know the ins and outs of PID controllers. All I know is the temperature on my grill

Thoroughly enjoy EX6. Bigger than I expected. Pellet hopper could be better but overall like it. Also bought front shelf add on.

It cooks ok but it doesn’t add a ton of flavor to grilled foods
