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

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.
Constantly babysitting this thing. Weber is letting me down.

This smoker has been perfect since purchased. Everything from hot and fast burgers, sausage,etc. to low and slow ribs and pork shoulder, the smoker has performed without and flaws, jambs, flares ups, temp fluctuations, etc. Brisket is next but so far it’s been absolutely awesome!
This was my first time using a pellet smoker (SmokeFire EX6) it cut off with ERROR 3 message. I did everything according to th manual and smoker was cleaned for first smoke, so I should have never gotten an ER3 message. I had to stop my smoking to clean out firebox and lift it to have everything empty into ash and grease area. Making my cook time to take a lot longer than I expected. I was shocked that I used a bag and half pellets 30 pounds. I thought I would be able to burn a pound an hour. I do like the Weber design. Having an ash and grease draw is great. Cleaning was a breeze. I also like that you can empty out the hopper to change pellets.
I would recommend this to a friend!
