Ratings & Reviews for Weber SmokeFire 648-Sq. in Black Pellet Grill with Smart Compatibility

Wired probe and internal probe!!!

I wish the weber probe temp was more accurate, that's why 4 star, otherwise great product!!!

Support? What support?

I love my Smokefire, used it probably twice a month and after two years started to malfunction. Reached out to Weber support and they wanted me to dismantle it and send different photos which is impossible for me, I like to cook but I am not a mechanic. So after two years it’s just sitting there.

Issues

Have had a lot of issues that should have been engineered out. Other pellet brand grills don't have these issues.

Pellet grill

Love the grill. The heat is not the same on each side.

Garbage

They are already on their 3rd g generation of pellet grills. That should tell you something. I fell for Gen 2, and I am telling you to avoid the mistake I made. Even when you keep it clean, replace all the parts they tell you to replace, it is a headache. Steer clear and Weber, stay in your lane. Stick to gas and charcoal.

Pellet grill good for crowd but complicated.

Nice product but complicated. Difficult to properly clean. Had problems with faulty components. Good for cooling for large crowd, but is overkill if cooking for 2-4 people on a weeknight.

Mostly good, some bad.

Beautiful, well built machine, holds temperature like a champ and reaches a temp at a decent rate. The cooking space is fantastic as well but the app is terrible, constantly disconnects and asks to re-pair with phone. As far as the grill, make sure you have more than enough Weber branded pellets otherwise you are very prone to other pellet brands clogging and causing the flame to go out if you’re doing a longer cook. Additionally, the shutdown process takes quite awhile to finish. And finally, I...

I waited for the 2gen in hopes

Should have known better when I thought the glow plug igniter would have been fixed.. now it’s not in stock and my investment is junk

Smokefire EX6 (2nd Gen)

I absolutely love my Weber Smokefire EX6 (2nd Gen) wood pellet smoker/grill! This versatile appliance has truly exceeded my expectations. I've put it through its paces, cooking everything from brisket to halibut, and it has delivered outstanding results every time. One of the features that I appreciate the most is the ability to turn it on and easily keep track of and control temperatures both on the unit and for what I am cooking. This has given me the confidence to experiment with different r...

Make sure you have spare parts.

I have trouble with this grill 7 out of 10 uses. Typically I get flame outs due to poor feeding, I have replaced the glow plug igniter at least once. The worst was a feed motor failure in the middle of a Boston butt 18 hour cook. The grill itself is well built and looks like it will last many years. The feed system apparently was designed by a 1st year engineering student as it is a total failure. I guess that’s why they stoped making it. By the way my grill is just barely 1 year old and it gave...

none

bought this in march keeps shutting downit says auger failure

One wasn’t enough

I own a gen 1 smokefire 4 and needed more due to my use or demand for good quality smoked food I expect to burn up probably around two pallets of master blend pellets alone this summer

Not reliable

Everytime I use this it shuts down. I wish I could rely on this because I like the concept. I use Weber Brand pellets and keep it clean but it doesn't help. Disappointed in the Weber Brand
