PELLET GRILLING 101 How Does the WEBER SmokeFire Work? The WEBER SMOKEFIRE works by delivering WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS to the burn pot via an auger tube system. Once the pellets are gravity fed into the burn pot, a glow plug ignites these pellets. This starts up your grill, and will reach and maintain the temperature you set on the attached WEBER CONNECT Controller. Once the glow plug ignites the pellets, it will remain off for the remainder of the cooking session.
