[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weber has gone and done it again. Built the best pellet smoker on the market today. I have always been drawn to Weber because in today's disposable world Weber prides itself in offering products that stand the test of time. The EX6 is no different, from the quality craftsmanship to a customer service department that's second to none I'm assured my Smokefire will be handed down to many future generations. I can honestly say I just purchased my grandchildren's grandchildren's smoker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a Generation 2 EX6 for about two months now. Although not without a few glitches, overall I am very satisfied, especially with the quality and responsiveness of Weber's customer service. I purchased the grill because I wanted an "all in one": a device that could smoke as well as grill. I realize that this usually requires compromise in that it would not be best at anyone one thing, but that was ok with me. I have not been disappointed. Grilling and smoking experience so far has yielded great tasting food. Although I have experienced a few issues with the grill controls becoming unresponsive, each time I was able to quickly correct the situation without a significant interruption. I am hopeful that Weber will continue to make improvements, especially in software which appears to the the root of most problems, and roll them out to owners. In all, very satisfied and 4 stars only because of the few issues that have occurred.
The temp control is not consistent. Half the time it stays at temp set and half the time it drops and won’t recover. I have to watch it closely to make sure it’s not dropping temp. When it does I have to reset another temp then watch constantly because more than likely will have to continue to reset temps to keep it at the desired temp.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, we are very sorry to hear about this issue. We have passed your information and our support team will reach out via email. Thanks!
A great Grill. Heats to 200 in 12 minutes, 500 in 18 minutes. The Smoke boost rocks! The first starter was faulty, installed a new starter. No problems since then. A Bit of a flare up, but I know the problem(Grease Build up). This will be my full time grill from now on.
When it works its great. Ive had numerous flame outs when using smoke feature. Had a flame out during a long cook because pellets captivating in hopper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
