This pellet grill is really amazing. If you have a busy schedule and want a grill / smoker that is easy to run, clean and cook amazing food the SmokeFire series is for you. I have never cooked such consistent steaks, chicken and smoked meats. I am really impressed by this grill so far! (1 month of ownership)
There grill is hottie in the right side. I recently had the grill turn get unplugged accidentally - after turning back on it and starting it did not ignite the pellets and instead just kept feeding them in the bottom of my grill which was a wasteful and also a huge pain in the butt. Also the ribs were messed up. The knob when setting temperature is annoying how slow you just turn it to adjust the heat. Going for 80-600 degrees is not nice. If you turn to fast it glitches out.
Other than that it’s good. Only done 4 cooks on it. It looks nice. I will tell you this it does not feel quality when you touch it, the materials are too thin for my taste. I mean it works good, like I have no problems holding heat (I’m in Florida) but I feel nice heavy stuff would give people more confidence
As with most things there is a bit of a learning curve and I learn something each time I use it as I did with my previous smoker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Faulty wheels and customer service was sub-par.

The rear caster wheels for the smokefire had the wrong threading on them. (The front wheels went in fine) They would not screw in so obviously the grill will not stand level. Customer service response was to email me a copy of the instruction manual. Kind of insulting because I'm pretty sure I'm capable of screwing a caster wheel in unless the threading does not match.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that the casters had an issue and we see the replacements shipped out on 7/19, so you should have them shortly. We will have our team look into your interaction with our agent, we are very sorry for the experience that you had. We will reach out to you to follow-up. Thanks!
Burgers, sausages, and veggies are all smoked to perfection with the EX4’s “smart” temp+timer system. I consider grilling to be an old-school art form, so I was hesitant to utilize some new app...but drinking cold beer with my buddies without having to hover over the grill made me a Weber convert! Strongly recommended to anyone who wants GrillMaster-level results & a backyard feeding frenzy *without* the dedication.
