I love my Smokefire, used it probably twice a month and after two years started to malfunction. Reached out to Weber support and they wanted me to dismantle it and send different photos which is impossible for me, I like to cook but I am not a mechanic. So after two years it’s just sitting there.
They are already on their 3rd g generation of pellet grills. That should tell you something. I fell for Gen 2, and I am telling you to avoid the mistake I made. Even when you keep it clean, replace all the parts they tell you to replace, it is a headache. Steer clear and Weber, stay in your lane. Stick to gas and charcoal.
Nice product but complicated. Difficult to properly clean. Had problems with faulty components. Good for cooling for large crowd, but is overkill if cooking for 2-4 people on a weeknight.
Beautiful, well built machine, holds temperature like a champ and reaches a temp at a decent rate. The cooking space is fantastic as well but the app is terrible, constantly disconnects and asks to re-pair with phone. As far as the grill, make sure you have more than enough Weber branded pellets otherwise you are very prone to other pellet brands clogging and causing the flame to go out if you’re doing a longer cook. Additionally, the shutdown process takes quite awhile to finish. And finally, I wish there was more prep space included with the actual base grill. Understand there are additions available but for the price, I would have enjoyed an extra side table to prep from. Overall, I enjoy the grill but would probably look into something different if I had the choice.
