Ratings & Reviews for Weber SmokeFire EX6 Front Stainless steel Shelf kit

Nice Shelf!!

Great addition to my smoker and I like that I can hang the second smoking shelf from it for storage.

FRONT FOLDING SHELF

NICE SHELF EXCEPT VERY FLIMSY WILL NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING OVER 10LBS ALSO BOUGHT SIDE SHELF ITS EVEN WORSE

EX-6 Front Shelf

Easy, step-by-step instructions. Assembly of the shelving couldn’t have been made more simple!

Great add-on feature, but some small issues.

While the folding front shelf is an amazing add-on to the WSF EX6, it's function leaves a little to be desired. I do like how it folds out of the way, but it's a bit tricky to disengage the folding table when you're ready to stow it in the down position. I'm also concerned with how long the plastic bushings at the pinch point are going to last with the constant opening and closing of the shelf in normal use. I could see those failing relatively quickly, but we shall see. I'm giving this 3-st...

Great addition to my Smokefire EX6 smoker !

The front stainless steel shelf added some much needed space to an already awesome smoker. I also really like the ability to hang my upper smoking rack when not needed.

SmokeFire Folding Front Shelves

Easy easy installation. Great flip-up design and the hooks to hang the top rack when not in use is a wonderful feature. Sturdy and strong - just like the smoker. And looks good, too!

Great addition

I love the convenience of the split shelf.Installation was easy and the storage hooks for the upper rack get used all the time. My only issue is that when storing the upper rack it blocks the ash drawer.

Shelf

I only wish it was like diamond plate it texture Rather than smoth

Pretty OK, but very usesful.

Pros: The grill really needed these, and the shelves give me some place to put trays, sheets, and other things when moving items around or taking them off the grill. The hooks for the upper grate are inspired. One of the better features. Cons: I wish the shelves were sturdier and deeper. Since they fold down, I would guess how deep they are wouldn't matter when stowed. With the grill handle coming out as far as it does, there always seems to be a contest for space between the handle and whateve...

Must Have

I really love having a front shelf to sit my tray on when putting food on or taking food off the grill. Also love that I now have a place to hang my top grill rack when not in use. Only inconvenience is the handle on the grill sticks out over the shelf. An empty tray/cutting board slides easily under the handle, but when you are taking food off the grill you have to then move the tray out of the way before you can close the lid. Otherwise the handle ends up hitting the food. Just a minor inconve...

Good table

Good sturdy front table. Like that it fold down a d also holds the upper grill rack behind it.

Look Great, Leave Something to be Desired

They look great, but they’re a little tough to secure in the horizontal position & release to fold down. That should get better with use based on the design. They are not as deep as I thought they would be so you really can’t put a serving platter on them while you open & close the lid. Not as sturdy as I hoped for either, but better than not having them.

SmokeFire Shelves Overview

The manufacturing and packaging of the product was very good. However, the attachment of the shelves to the body of the grill is potentially problematic. Also, the shelves grate of the attachment surface when moving the shelves into place. Insertion of the shelves into the secure upright position requires too much force, which in turn will affect their attachment to the main body of the grill. Once into position, the handle of the grill lid hits on anything sitting on the shelves.

Awesome addition to the Smoke Fire Series

The shelf is the perfect accessory to the grill. It is definitely something that was missing, but for it to be a two sided folding shelf, home run Weber. As always, great quality. I love it!

SmokeFire folding front shelves

The folding front shelves are wonderful! The make a huge difference in loading and unloading the grilling surface! They fold down easily and the cover still fits nicely. I would recommend this product to any with a SmokeFire grill!

Okay but not thrilled.

I liked the concept of having a front shelf but would prefer to have had just a fixed shelf. I am disappointed in the method of how this split shelf folds away and anticipate that I will always leave it up. Also, information regarding the shelf indicated that the Weber smokefire cover would still work. Although it does somewhat work for the front shelf, it does not work if you install both the front and side shelves.

Engh.

Flimsy, could be better the split setup makes it look weak in the middle. Cheaper than the custom custom single shelf, for now

Almost Useless and Very Over-Priced

The Smokefire desperately needs more shelf space, but this new folding front shelf is a major disappointment. The design has some fundamental flaws. Most noticeably, the shelf simply does not have much strength to support heavy trays of meat. You could not trust it to hold your brisket, ribs, or pork butt. Second, it is too shallow, meaning if you have a tray on the shelf you cannot open or close the lid because the lid handle will interfere with what is on your tray. Third, it is very diff...

Flimsy shelves - I don’t recommend them.

Assemble is ridiculous. Why is the ex6 split? Installation is easy but finally results are flimsy, won’t fall off, but a lot of movement. Wire shelve hanger is worthless if you want to empty the ash tray while grate is hanging. Just a disappointment!

SmokeFire front shelf

The new front shelf works fine. It is more flimsy than I expected but will do the job. It’s rated to hold 20 lbs so I expect there will not be any problem.
