Grills great, but still needs refinement.

I owned this grill for 2.5 months before eventually returning it. The primary reason was that I found that without modification, it cooked more like a grill than a smoker. I was also running into issues with the fire going out and connectivity issues with the Weber Connect app. I also disliked that front shelving wasn’t included with the grill.
All that aside, I made some of the best chicken, burgers, and beef roasts that I’ve ever made on the EX6. When it functioned as it should it was a great cooker. It just wasn’t a great fit for my needs and the other frustrations eventually became overwhelming.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes great food. Easy to use. Not so easy to clean. We love pork ribs and family friendly boneless chicken off this. I got the smaller one and the grill has lots of room for a family of four.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 80 lbs of pellets, here is my beginning of a longtime review. Love it! From the (semi)capable app., to the awesome smoke boost setting, this thing rocks. I have long smoked ribs, chickens and bacon, and hot grilled steaks and chops. All of which turned out great to fantastic! I am hoping this is a long term smoker, as the price and Webber name should support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After deciding to buy this grill couldn’t wait to do a pulled pork. It turned out unbelievably good. After that I couldn’t wait to do some ribs, they turned out better than I expected. After that I was glad I bought this grill. It makes slow cooking effortless and delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned the Smokefire for 3 or so months now and have been very pleased with the smoker. It has plenty of room for foods in the grill but I have found that it doesn’t quite have enough shelving to stage food or hooks to store accessories while cooking. I have to have a separate table, which isn’t a deal breaker, but would be happier if it had a shelf in front that wasn’t an additional cost to attach. As for the functions it has met or exceeded all my expectations in all cooking aspects of the smoker. Low and slow or fast and hot cooks have all come out as expected with very little adjusting of temps once it is pre heated to desired temp. I have had a few minor issues when switching from one temp to another in the middle of cooks but overall worked as expected. The hopper size is amazing but it does still need to be checked 1-2 times while in a cook to prevent low hopper error and I would prefer the lid to be able to swing all the way down in the open position rather then stand straight up. I think it would allow a little better access to filling the hopper when needed. I am completely glad I went with this smoker even with the troubles it has had from release date and couldn’t be happier with the quality of smoke and cooking range the unit provides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great grill! Love what I can cook at the pace I want to cook it. Ive slow smoked briskets and steaks and they come out full of flavor. Ive also done weekend cook outs and everything comes out great. Plenty of room for everything in this big boy.
