When it works it’s hard to cook anything bad on it. However I’ve had it less than a year and it will no longer light. Temperature probes are spotty in their accuracy. This product tarnishes the good Weber name I’ve trusted for years. I wish someone could fix it or replace it for me
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Grill! I bought the Weber Smokefire for its ability to smoke, sear, grill, bake.
Its been 4 weeks since I switched from my Weber propane grill to the SmokeFire. I wasn’t aware of the maintenance that goes with pellet grilling. It took me a couple of weeks to understand this grill needs to be cleaned every few uses to keep it from flaming out. I am now beyond the learning curve and I love this grill.
Meats cooked so far: filet mignon (twice), ribs (smoked) (smoked), chicken, brisket (smoked) and pork loin (I used a recipe from my Weber App). Everything turned out great! I will definitely refer friends and family to the Weber Smokefire.
The upgrades made in version 2 are amazing! The app is really easy to use and manual operation is easy as well. Food has been amazing and I’ve already cooked burgers, steaks, brisket, ribs, and chicken thighs. Everything was perfect! The ability to sear is top notch and the low and slow with an added drip pan to prevent grease fires is very good. For the price I think the added low and slow drip pans should be included but I’ve been using a cheap deep sheet pan that fits just fine. Pellet use seems to be average with all other smokers and smoke ring and flavor on par with my Smokey mountain. I also own the summit series grill and sad to say it’s been under used lately. Worth the purchase for sure and I would def recommend it! Happy grilling and smoking!
Maintains temperature well. Difficult to keep clean as until exhausts onto pellet hopper. Unit cannot be programmed for custom cooking program. This is my first pellet grill. I’ll look at other brands before I buy again.
