Wonderful Grill!

Excellent performance and I no longer need a clunky gas grill on standby to cook quickly. My SmokeFire does it all. Smoked and Stoked! Yeah Man!

Temp and grease collection system.

Temperature stays very consistent and varies little over the different areas of the unit. Overall, I have used this smoker for various proteins and have had greats cooks on all of them. The 4 probes makes for a wonderful experience with the app. The only issue to note is that the grease system does not have the grease go to the grease tray as it gets caked up with the ash. I have cleaned the ash and the ash grease mix after each cook. Not a huge issue but something to be aware of if you are looking to purchase.

Terrific Cooking Experience

Have used 3 times so far, and the SmokeFire has performed perfectly! I made the best chicken in my life! I'll keep trying new items, super exciting. Only minor negatives would be the low fuel alarm and connectivity range. You have to see the notice on the grill display. Couldn't you get an alarm on your phone if connected? Also, the connectivity range seems to be around 20 feet. So if you carry your phone into the house, you have no notice from the SF. Seems that would be something easy to improve.

Best Buy Ever

I bought the SmokeFire to replace a smoker that finally gave out. I had to give away my Weber Performer, which I had since 1997 btw, to make room on the patio. I use the Smokefire all the time for grilling and smoking! It will go from 220 F when smoking ribeyes to 600F for the sear. It was easy to assemble and so far, has performed wonderfully. What isn't cooked on the SmokeFire is done on the Weber Griddle! I have four Weber products and it is the customer service and quality that keep me coming back.

3 year review

I have had this grill for 3 years and it has worked flawlessly for me. I always get overwhelming compliments on how good the food tastes coming off it. Even the first time i did a pork shoulder and a brisket my friends were blown away by the flavor.

First pellet grill.

This is my first pellet grill. Very impressed with the construction! The grill is well built and easy to put together. Operation is super easy. We have done burgers, steaks and pork shoulder so far. Would definitely recommend the grill

Happy and still learning=fun

Simple and straight forward, replaced my 4 burner Genesis. Can smoke or grill now with precise temperature and smoke flavor. No flare ups, as there is no direct-close burner. Steaks, ribs, chicken, salmon, burgers, brats all perfect, today my first brisket!

Fantastic smoker/grill

I was leery about buying the SmokeFire based on the reviews of the original smoker. However, this Gen 2 model is fantastic. I have both grilled and most recently smoked 10, racks of ribs for a large gathering the results were great. I would definitely recommend SmokeFire

Everyone just wants their grill to work...and folks this one is the fantastic!! Couldn't be happier. Need one ...Get this one!!

Expert Review

The Skinny:
  • Our testing experience suggests that Weber has heard (and solved) prior flaws
  • Temperatures ranging 200–600 degrees Fahrenheit help you smoke and sear
  • 22-pound pellet hopper features low-pellet sensors and quick-change chute
  • Weber Connect app makes the grill compatible with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Back-vented barrel design creates high smoke circulation inside grill

In our experiences, the second-gen Weber SmokeFire solves the sorrows of the first.

The Weber SmokeFire aimed to be a one-of-a-kind machine that didn’t behave like any other pellet grill on the market. (Credit where credit is due — it succeeded.) Pellet grills tend to function like BBQ smokers, after all. But when Weber replaced the full-coverage heat baffles with its classic Weber Flavorizer Bars, it designed a pellet grill that, while capable of holding steady smoking temperatures, could also cook with high heat like a more traditional grill. Our original testing pushed the first-generation Weber SmokeFire to its rational limits — cooking immense amounts of meat within its full range of temperature capability while scrutinizing its ash output and grease management.

To speak delicately, the original run had its issues. Weber has tried to address them both publicly and through internal research and development. That’s why we put our very own Chef Tony on the case — while fading natural light and a spinning clock above our expert’s scrutiny of user forums doesn’t exactly make for exciting video footage, our expert spent countless hours researching user experiences and taking notes. Armed with those expectations, he ran this pellet grill through a new round of rigorous examination to stress-test its predecessor’s weakest links. His findings? The Weber SmokeFire Gen 2 made a worthy follow-up.

Quality:

Without any sacrifices in solid construction at this price point, Weber SmokeFire II blew through all our safety testing.

As far as aesthetically pleasing and well-designed pellet grills go, Weber SmokeFire II is a serious contender. We set the mad chef loose with a pair of calipers and an XRF gun — the lid handle, accent trim pieces, side shelves, and Weber Flavorizer Bars all proved to remain constructed from genuine 304 stainless steel. Weber retained aluminized steel in other components; the fire pot’s heat baffle and the interior paneling of the side walls come to mind. Galvanized steel-plating still comprises the cooking grids.

  • Those calipers measured thickness for the Weber SmokeFire’s cooking grids at 6mm (a perfectly fine thickness for a pellet grill), the porcelainized fire box at 16-gauge steel, the porcelainized enamel lid at 12-gauge, and those trademark Flavorizer Bars at 17-gauge. By design, an air gap in the double side walls provides enough insulation to hold those temperatures steady — there were some scattered complaints with air flow apparently getting into the ash system, but we didn’t find any reasonable concerns in that area.

  • Chef Tony measures the cooking grates of the Weber SmokeFire Gen 2 Pellet Grill

On that note, it’s time to address the elephant in the room: the grease management system. Though it’s fantastic that a pellet grill would even offer a pull-out, full-width grease and ash drawer, there were some unfortunate design choices that presented problems with the original model. Chef Tony did not experience these problems with the Weber SmokeFire II’s grease management system. From his extensive testing, the grease management system worked like a dream — he personally witnessed no evidence of sparking, flares, or fires.

Performance:

Following up its already impressive performance, Weber SmokeFire II maintains an eyepopping temperature range while rethinking power and pellet management.

To say Weber SmokeFire II performed admirably here is putting it mildly. While there are some impossibilities in the physics of a thermocouple test on a pellet grill — recall that, by nature, they operate by completely different thermodynamic principles than standard gas and charcoal grills — Chef Tony’s findings fell in line with what he expects to see in this type of cooking environment. At its worst, he saw a disparity of 85 degrees Fahrenheit in one tiny spot; this was on the top-tier, screaming hot searing point of 600 degrees, which is a temperature point nearly unheard of on most pellet grills. (Thanks to the open body design, large air vents, and powerful variable-speed fans, he repeated hit that mark in 20 minutes.) In real-world usage, that sort of disparity isn’t just expected; it’s perfectly acceptable.

  • Speaking of real-world testing, Chef Tony bombarded the grill with wave upon wave of brisket, burgers, steaks, chickens, and enough meat to satisfy an entourage of medieval Vikings. On our test models, here’s what he found as a stand-out: whoever you want fed first, cook their entrees on the right-front quadrant of Weber SmokeFire II. That section of the grill runs hotter than the rest by a noticeable margin. While we won’t call that a feature per se, a little planning ahead can make it one.

  • Cooking burgers on the Weber SmokeFire Gen 2 Pellet Grill

Finally, Weber made a few positive adjustments to the grill’s performance. One recurring concern Chef Tony’s research unearthed was that the previous model allegedly suffered power issues. He intentionally ran every test on the same 40-foot extension cord; from beginning to end, he saw no electrical issues. Furthermore, Weber reworked the angled slope of the pellet hopper. On the higher end at 425–500 degrees, expect 2–2 ½ hours of prime pellet grilling before you have to touch the pellets. On the lower end, he saw that low-and-slow cooks would generally last 8 hours before requiring a pellet check. From his findings, Chef Tony concludes: “I’d say nearly all pellet grillers will be satisfied with these hopper revisions.”

Features:

Weber SmokeFire II keeps its excellent features with quality companion app updates and overall grill redesign.

Weber SmokeFire II still shines in its grilling output with its 22-pound pellet capacity and a rear trap door releases pellets to swap flavors at a whim. This continues to dazzle us. Equally rare for pellet grills is the direct flame access afforded by the main cooking area; with two hanging knobs for accessories and that 304 stainless steel side shelf for prepping food and holding pans, it’s clear Weber had the hands-on multitasker in mind in the design phase. A robust PID controller continues to supervise the DC-powered auger motor and fan (each of which boasting variable speeds). Throw in that pair of leave-in internal temperature probes and an innovative pellet auger design that provides larger cooking fire and higher heat…

In support of the original launch, the Weber Connect companion app released with limited functionality via wireless or Bluetooth connection. Compatible with iOS 12+ and Android 7.0+ and backed with the industry-leading JuneOS, recurring app updates have upped the app’s capabilities — monitor (and now control!) your SmokeFire grill’s temperature remotely, study readings from up to 4 temperature probes, set timers and probe temperature alerts, receive timely and relevant push notifications, and more. Registering a Weber ID provides in-app product and warranty information. Weber plans to roll out in-app recipes, guided cooking programs, and further quality-of-life updates. While we can’t comment on them (SmokeFire didn’t give us these problems), we’ve also heard of firmware algorithm changes to solve aggressive temperature overcorrection.

But we think the feature you’ll love most circles back to the grease management system. Chef Tony put the second-generation Weber SmokeFire through every test available — and his continuous pellet grilling experiences make the apparent faults of the original ash and grease catch a bad dream. While Weber doesn’t run their SmokeFire shipments through us (nor would we ever wish that upon ourselves), the ones we’ve tested proved to have ironed out the kinks from before. Between the assumed redesigns of the power delivery system and full-width pull-out tray, our resident expert Chef Tony expressed confidence in recommending this pellet grill to just about anybody.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
