A little inconvenient to have to plug it in to use the electronic ignition but it performs flawlessly. Typically the manual igniters are the first thing to go on other grills.
The “sear zone” is a flame thrower. Sear steaks and then shut down the grill to finish your cooking.
Haven’t used the meat sensor yet, it I’m sure it will be of equal high quality.

Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled to learn that you love your new grill.
Your electronic ignition system is powered by a AA battery located in the igniter module. Your grill can be lit without being plugged into a power outlet.
Your Weber Connect Smart Hub is powered through the power cord or via an optional rechargeable, USB-Certified power bank.
We hope you make many delicious meals and happy memories with your new grill. Thanks for being a Weber fan!
Really need to opt for a battery option that’s chargeable, rather than need to plug in. For the price of the grill, I would expect that alternative to what’s present. Yes I’m aware than an external power source can be used, but I would envision a better option being something that can natively hold a charge so I’m not trying to figure out a power source in addition to my NG line
Excellent grill but... while the Bluetooth themometer is nice the addition of a standard themometer mounted on the lid would be very beneficial.
I would recommend this to a friend!
