Works well, love how it gets hot fast. I never cooked on a pellet grill before. I thought it would really punch the smoke into food at low and slow like a box smoker. It does not. But I am Still happy with my purchase.
Very nice grill. I like the control board and the fact it comes with temperature probes. The Weber Connect feature is also nice. I have only used the grill once so far to smoke a pork butt and experienced pellet bridging (pellets in the hopper but not being picked up by the auger). Would be nice to be able to set custom temperature alerts like Meatstick or Meater which I submitted to Weber as a feature update. Larger wheels would also be nice as an option for those of us without a concrete or wooden patio / porch / deck. The small wheels would sink very easily into soft turf.
I’m stating to get used this grill but the right side is way hotter and burns food compared to the left.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about your experience. We are happy to help. It is important to make sure your grill is fully preheated with the lid closed before adding food.
After preheating, the heat will start to even out. When you open the lid, the Smoke Fire engine will start running harder to keep the temperature up. When the lid is open, especially for extended periods of time, outside factors such as wind can redirect the flame and heat.
It sounds simple, but keep that lid closed for best results.
Our Care team will be reaching out to follow up. Please look for our outreach soon. Thank you!
This thing is great. I was worried about the issues with the first gen, but Weber has fixed those and really knocked it out of the park with this one. I used to have a pellet grill for smoking and a gas grill for grilling. I gave those away now that this has proven itself to be great at both. This is a pellet hungry machine, buy in bulk if you can.
Easy to use. The App is great. Love the temperature probe. Holds the temp perfectly. Easy to move around on the four wheels. Pellets get hung up sometimes otherwuse five stars.
I bought this because my previous pellet grill broke down every time I used it to cook for others. So far no problems. The grill warms up quickly and will reach the advertised 600°. I have cooked steaks and chicken so far, nothing low and slow yet. The right side cooks quicker than the left side but I think that is by design. You sear on the right side. I bought this grill because of my experience with my 15 year old Weber Genesis as well as expert reviews.
Exactly what I was looking for! It sears steaks and burgers perfectly. It smokes all meats where they are tender and juicy. I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a smoker that can act like a grill too.
