Wood naturally produces ash while
burning; therefore, all pellet grills
produce ash.

Pellet Grills 101:
Industry
Standards
» Receive alerts when food is ready to flip
and the perfect temperature to serve.
» Track food progression based on time & temp.
» Select food doneness (ex. medium-rare steak)
and get an alert once it’s ready.
» Guidance on everything from grill setup to
when it’s time to eat.
» Check food status, such as doneness,
time & temp, and readiness countdowns at
the grill or on your phone.
Porcelain
Enamel Finish
FUN FACT
SmokeFire was built to last with
porcelain-enamel finish. Some pellet grills
have a painted steel lid and cookbox. Over
time, painted steel will rust and peel.
» Porcelain enamel retains heat.
» Withstands the harshest of elements.
» Helps prevent rusting, cracking, and
peeling over time.
» Easy to clean and quickly shine up so
that your grill is always looking like new.
Smart Grilling
Technology
FUN FACT
Weber is able to enhance your grilling
experience with over-the-air features,
updates, and even safety alerts. Just always
make sure that your software is up-to-date!
» Ever evolving technology with
over-the-air updates.
» Step-by-step grilling assistance
– perfectly grilled food.
Flavorizer Bars
FUN FACT
Some pellet grills have a built-in diuser
tray (not to be confused with a drip pan)
blocking the flame. It prevents direct heat
from reaching food and also collects ash
and grease.
» Direct, consistent heat to the cooking area.
» Promotes more even heat across the
cooking grate.
» Flavorizer bars are angled just right to
catch drippings that smoke and sizzle,
adding even more smoky flavor to food.
Open Flame
System
FUN FACT
Small flareups are normal in any
grill. In the rare case of a thermal
event, your grill will automatically
shut down.
» 200-600 degree temperature range.
» Ability to sear and smoke.
» Heat is not blocked by a diuser tray.
» Ability to see the flame.
Rear Venting
FUN FACT
Weber Engineers specially designed the
SmokeFire auger to accelerate ignition
and preheat; so that you’re up and grilling
as soon as possible.
FUN FACT
Quite a few pellet grills are built
with a chimney that pulls hot air
out of the grill, preventing it from
heating quickly enough for optimal
grilling and searing.
» This helps adjust the fan and auger
speed to reach set temperature.
» The unique location of the fan and
vents help prevent ash from blowing
up to the cooking grate. Instead, ash is
blown down toward the internal
Ash & Grease Drawer.
» Promotes a more even airflow and
is the ideal amount of airflow for
convection cooking.
Low Maintenance
Ash & Grease
Drawer
FUN FACT
Most pellet grills catch grease in an exposed
bucket that hangs o the side of the grill. Not
only is it the perfect height for a dog to drink
out of, but it's also unsteady and easy to spill.
» The majority of ash falls through the fuel
grate. The remainder can easily be
brushed down into the drawer with the
provided scraper.
Short, Inclined
Auger
» Short, centered, DC powered,
variable speed auger helps prevent
burn-backs and pellet jams.
The temperature range of all pellet grills
vary, depending on design. While many
pellet grills have a limited range, SmokeFire
reaches 600 degrees for the perfect sear.
Temp Range
It is normal, in any grill, to experience
variability across the cooking surface -
SmokeFire was designed to minimize
variability.
Temp Variability
All pellet grills require regular
ash & grease maintenance.
Cleaning
It is normal for any grill, whether it
be gas, charcoal or pellet, to produce
small flareups.
Flareups
All pellet grills have an electronic
temperature display. The unique location of
SmokeFire's ambient probe was designed
to give the most accurate readout.
Electronic
Temp Display
All pellet grills require the use of
food-grade, wood pellets – however,
they’re not all made the same.

Technology
Weber Pellets were perfectly crafted, and tested,
for use in SmokeFire - from the diameter of the
pellet, to only using all-natural hardwood with no
oils or fillers for the best burn.
TIPS FOR ANY PELLET BRAND
» Store pellets in a waterproof, dry location.
» Always check the condition of pellets
before grilling.
» The best way to judge the freshness of pellets
is to break one in half. Pellets should break with
a snap, not crumble in your hand.
» Pellets that start to crumble can also cause
system feed issues.
