A Close Look at the Weber Smokerfire Pellet Grills

As we mentioned in the previous section, this Weber SmokeFire pellet grill takes a lot of pride in its new grease management system. Weber managed to pull an impressive 2-in-1 construction by embedding the ash and grease drawer in one place, the design choices were pretty poor in the original model.
The Weber app has received a lot of significant updates from the initial version, with features such as smoke boost (creating high smoke environments inside the grill) and additional meat options in the cooking section of the app. Regardless of the pellets used, the grill can now reach 600° F each time you’re looking to sear meats to perfection.
As mentioned before, the app has clearly improved from its initial version, which is really important for a line of grills that built up a lot of hype around its launch, only to disappoint a lot of experts that were excited about the initial testing of either of the two grills in the SmokeFire line. The grill is also equipped with an LCD display that’s weather-resistant and offers information that’s easy to read.

Weber SmokeFire Overview

Cons:

• The SmokeFire grills have eliminated the use of a grease bucket, claiming that this could be messy and unstable. The ash-removal system comes with an internal cleaning system that makes it easier to clean the grills after each cooking session.
• Another problem that the SmokeFire line was looking to solve is the problem with grills that smoke but lack a searing feature. There is actually quite an impressive number of pellet grills that lack in the searing department, so these two grills promise to help your meats reach temperatures of 315° in next to no time. That means that you can smoke your briskets and also sear a steak without any problems.
• The SmokeFire line wants to break the wheel by replacing the traditional painted steel finish that you see in similar pellet grills with a porcelain-enameled finish, which promises to be more resistant in the face of the elements, making sure it doesn’t peel or rust in the long run.
• One of the things that Weber grills are known for is the introduction of the flavorizer bars. As you may already know, grills usually have built-in diffuse trays that block the flame and keep the heat from properly reaching your food. The role of flavorizer bars is to redirect heat straight to the cooking grate, which is ideal for moments when you want to reach searing temperatures.
• These grills are designed with a chimney because Weber believes this will pull out hot air from inside the barbecue, something that would prevent proper searing and barbecuing.

Cons:
The pellet hopper has the same 22-pound capacity as the EX4, feeding pellets into the auger that operates at variable speeds. The incline will make it so that the feeder never experienced any jams, offering a seamless cooking experience that we admire. The 1,008 square inches of cooking area are impressive, to say the least.
Some of the notifications that the app can receive include grill temperature reach alerts, cooking temp completion, or low pellet warning. One of the downsides is the fact that the app is clearly still a work in progress, since most of the errors that you receive are very vague so you might not know what the problem is once you’ve received the alert.
There are a lot of things to be said about the Weber SmokeFire line of grills, and one of the most things to mention is that what started about as an overly-hyped launch that quickly led to disappointment is now finally living up to the original hype. Both of the grills in the lineup have pros that completely outweigh the cons, delivering a high-quality grilling experience at temperatures that can easily reach 600 degrees.

The Weber SmokeFire Pellet EX4 Gen 2

Even if Weber is a pioneer in the grill-manufacturing industry, it’s one of the last ones to adopt smart grill technologies. Thanks to the SmokeFire fire, the company is looking to compensate for lost time, offering a unique approach to what smart grills are all about. Promising to have put decades of expertise into the two grills that make up the SmokeFire line, we were very interested in discovering what these two Weber grills had to offer.

The easy cleaning system makes sure that grease and ash flow down into a removable drawer, so messy grease buckets are completely eliminated from the equation. The grill is placed on top of casters, two of them being movable and the other two, lockable.

Pros:
However, it is also important to note that the app has been significantly improved compared to the version tested at launch, and it’s pretty clear for everyone that Weber will be adding even more cool features.
That being said, let’s look at some of the most important characteristics of this grill. The temperature range of 200 to 600 degrees is impressive, especially since recent updates make it easier to reach the highest temperature mark.

Conclusion

The full-coverage heat bafflers were replaced by the company’s flavorizer bars, an improvement that was needed in order to hold steady smoking temperatures, but also cook at high heat when needed.

One of the two products that are part of SmokeFire’s lineup is the SmokeFire EX4 Gen 2, an improvement from the old version of the same product. This Weber SmokeFire pellet grill was clearly aimed at solving the problems that people reported with the previous model, so let’s take a deeper look at what it has to offer.
