The Weber SmokeFire Pellet Grill is the first pellet grill Weber has ever made...but it already stacks up quite well against Traeger. See it sear a steak, smoke a brisket, and bake a pizza.

Pricing is going to be $1000 for the smaller version and $1200 for the 36 inch model.
Sweet! I was fearing that they would make the same mistake as Traeger and be closer to $2K
No real shelf room & those wheels are a joke. How even is the temp across the cooking area? I guess with that large cover over the fire pot there is no need for a blank pan???
Weber sent out a pre-release email yesterday which includes video. Thanks for this preview, Justin. www.weber.com/US/en/grills/wood-pellet-grills/smokefire-series/
$1200 for 36" is very reasonable.
TY, for the info. Now to convinve SWMBO I need rather than want one. Wink Wink.
I'm so surprised that weber still doesn't have a museum at their headquarters. They can attach it to a restaurant, have production line tours, a souvenir shop. And spice it up with educational exhibits like bbq from across the globe and history of bbq
Oh that would be cool!
Oh My!!! When he opened the 36" and revealed the pizza. DAMN!!!
I know, right?
Malnati's pizza is my personal favorite, been eating it for 43 years although never quite like this. Going to have to look at this grill although my wife and I love our Weber Spirit gas grill. Weber makes outstanding grill products!
OMG that looked good
I'm actually really excited for this grill. I've talked to lots of pellet grill from a variety of manufacturers owners and they all complain about the same thing: They don't get hot enough, so they feel like they need a second grill. One grill added a propane side burner to solve it. This will be a real hit if Weber solved that problem and they back it up with their warranty.
While yes I have a second grill just for the ease and save on pellets but if you get a set of grill grates you can sear with a pellet grill. I grill on my gmg with no issues.
Hey Ryan,
Yeah, that was what they were trying to solve...but actually, there are SO many issues with pellet grills and most people just work around them without even realizing maybe they shouldn't have to. They were SO thorough in their research and did their best to get rid most of those inconveniences.
Properly searing is definitely the most obvious. If you are happy with the sear you can get on a gas grill, there is no reason you wouldn't like this. There is so much more to this than meets the eye.
I’m so glad I held back from buying a traeger. I’m getting this!! Weber Baby!
My gut feeling is it's going to be worth the wait.
After many years of Barbequing I bought my first Weber kettle and I could not be more pleased. Its flexible, accurate, consistent, and easy to use for an old man. And, there is a lot of after market and original accessories to make things fun and useful. I suspect, in a short time, the pellet grills will be as popular.
Very cool video Justin! Loved seeing those old kettles, especially the one that started it all. First time ever seeing that!
Thanks bud. It was a lot of fun to see that. Appreciate you watching Rus
Thanks for the sneak peek Justin. I look forward to hearing more about the SmokeFire in the near future. I'm so excited for you getting to go hang out with the Weber crew. And Harry was there!!! Yee-Haw!!!
Wish you were there with me buddy
Glad I waited on getting a pellet grill till Weber hit the market. I don't consider myself a brand snob but I love my Weber kettle and Smokey Mountain and think this will be a winner.
Same here. I’ll wait until the final details are out to decide, but I’m more interested in this that any other pellet grill on the market.
I think I whatches this video 4 time today.
I appreciate you keeping us posted on the SmokeFire. I seen you on Kevin Kolman's live video! Although I personally don't know you, through UA-cam it feels like I do. I said out loud "Hey Justin is there, I know that guy ." My wife said, "You don't know him, he's the guy you watch on UA-cam all the time." Lol
Cool video Justin!
That was amazing and informational! Thanks Justin!!!
I like it. I have been to Webers Restaurant in Chicago and have seen them cook on those big ranch grills. It was fun......good time 9 years ago. Glad to see they are still there. Hope you had a good time man.
I have been using my kettle for 20 years. All of my friends and relatives have gone for a more expensive alternative. While they're alright, my kettle requires very little maintenance and cooks awesome food. I have to confess though I want an offset smoker. You can keep the electronics, ceramics and the crazy expensive stuff. Simpler the better.
I have Weber Kettle and Weber Genesis. Had my eyes on the Yoder Smoker but after seeing this, I'll be sticking with Weber for pellet smoker/grill. Glad I stayed patient.
Won’t go wrong with that yoder
I think this is going to be a big win for Weber because they really did their homework. I'm glad you are taking a look at it.
I like how the entire bottom is the heat source, not one little firebox on the side. Now if you can control that to do indirect as well...I'll be buying one.
Exactly. There is literally no transition from the smoke rings on the Brisket and the steak to the middle. Just two layers - well done and medium rare. Running hot with no real defined indirect zone. Still a smoker at heart, even though it is capable of higher heat for direct heat grilling, but without clearly defined indirect zone, its an either/or shot (low or high).
Can't wait to get an unbiased review on this thing.
Deal breaker for me is seeing all of those flames. The thing I love about my Traeger is that I have NEVER had any flames, just heat, so I never have to worry about charring my food. Like they say, if you’re lookin, you ain’t cookin!
Wow Awesome video Justin.....can't wait for you to get your hands on one and do a comparison with the Summit Charcoal!!
Another great product from Weber. Love the restaurant footage too. Great stuff, Justin!
Hey, aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon? Are you out on the deck with a tape measure trying to figure out where this new bad boy from Webber will best fit ? Looking forward to seeing you're return.
@@victorbenner539 Ha! I just got back to the cold yesterday. Back to life. Back to reality.
@@GallaghersGrub I don't know about reality,we all just watched the new Webber pellet and I'm kinda living in a land of fantasy, damm it just all looked so wonderful. Now get back to work and put out some vids. And welcome back.
So far the Weber pellet grill looks promising, wonder what they will be priced at! No doubt it will be a higher price point that most consumers won’t be able to afford, seems like they have taken care to make it a true grill and smoker! You did an awesome job showing us that steaks will be grilled over the entire surface of the grill, something in my opinion that other pellet grills have failed to do! Thank you Justin as usual great job🙏👍🇺🇸
Wow, that is so awesome and cool 😎
Thank you for showing us something I would never ever get too see. Fantabulous!!!
Big thumbs up 👍
Thanks buddy.
They definitely look like they did their homework. It's nice that they can go up to 600 degrees
Wow, I have been eyeing pellet smokers for a while. Always use my weber charcoal. These look like they might be the winner with the high heat. Awesome. Me wants!!
Awesome content... I've got no doubt these will be a quality product....
I was excited to see this video. I have a bad taste for Traeger. It is exciting to see Weber enter the Pellet Grill game. Only problem I have with this, in an earthquake... with no power... you can not use this. I can however use my Kettle without electricity.... I am concerned on how much the Weber pellet will cost, however it looks like a cool machine. Those huge 36 inch kettles are rad!!!!!! Great video Justin.
Yeah, that is cool! I didn’t think I needed a pellet cooker, but a bunch of my friends have Traeger, and the benefits were obvious. Then Weber started teasing one and the desire to have one started to grow. Now that it is revealed, it looks awesome! I am digging the 24”. It looks like it could accommodate any brisket out there, do you think it could Justin? It looks like it could handle a giant turkey and a ham at the same time, would you agree? The 36” seems huge, like it could handle 4 briskets at the same time.
I think Webber is going to be hard to beat with this new addition. It's not much more for the 36 and a much better value then any Traeger price wise for what it appears we will get.
Weber has the money, they have the resources, and the engineers to put out stop notch pellet grill. My question is, are you gonna see this in every store???
They will be in several. Lowe's and (I think it was) True value for sure.
He tried to close the lid and failed and made the cook do it quickly, LOL! Those 36" kettles are awesome! Cheers
Like I said when we first got wind of this thing, I think the pellet grills are getting a piece of the gas cookers business, including Weber. Glad to see they just didn't release the same old grill and created something different!
Very cool. It looks like they’ve thought of a handful of new ideas you don’t see in other pellet cookers. Can’t wait to see one in person!
What a great video. What an amazing capability for searing, it’s like a pellet smoker that acts as a gas grill as well. Very interesting
I can only hope that it has a PID controller, easy hopper & burner cleaning and easy pellet changing, and is made in USA!
WOODYxWOOD it is made in the USA. Kevin was on the BBQCentral show and this was asked.
Weber does make some nice grills. But these guys cooking are top chefs working these demos and have some of the best cuts. I wanna pull the trigger on one the smokefires but I'll wait to see an everyday joe cook on one first
Justin, thank you for another excellent video. I remember when you mentioned this a few months ago, we discussed Weber needed to create a great pellet grill. So far, it looks like a winner, but only time will tell. Amazing Ribs folks were impressed too. I ate at their restaurant in Lombard years ago. Food was good, plus I remember the giant kettle outside at the entrance.
Your living my BBQ dream life brother! That’s so cool!
NICE,I was wondering when Weber was going to jump in the train.👍. Out of reach for me. But my 18 year old 22 kettle never disappoints. 😋. Best 20 bucks I ever spent at a yard sale.😁 Now I want Brisket!
oh and I totally added you to my favorite channel list on my page!! hands down my top 3 fav channels on all of youtube!
Buckeye Backyard BBQ honored! Thx
This was in my feed. The internet knows I love grilling.. LMAO.
Weber should sell the charcoal grill they use in the restaurant! Love your coverage of this event!
This is a must have! Definitely buying one
Man oh man is my wife going to be mad at me.
Better to ask for forgiveness than permission
I am just going to blame Justin ;)
😂😂 my first thought exactly
Yeah Just show your wives pictures of all the my cookers on my patio and say "See, it's not a problem!" I'm willing to take it for the team. lol
@@BabyBackManiac thank you Justin. You are the real MVP
Thanks Justin and I can't wait to see a more in depth video from you.
Awesome Justin!
I have seen the Weber Restaurant in Shaumburg , IL but never ate there.. This pellet grill looks awesome. they really did their research in the design of this and it should eliminate some common problems that plague other pellet grills for sure..
Your one lucky guy Baby Back Maniac.
Looks like I'll be getting company for the 22" kettle and 335 Weber gas grill:)
One thing I really like about the SmokeFire pellet grill versus others is the pellet auger feed system/tube is it's separated from the fire box. This should reduce or eliminate auger feed tube/pipe fires.
This probably allows for more air/fuel=more heat.
My aunt was just there this last weekend. She said the restaurant was pretty cool! Great video brother
It's really cool, Kenneth. Has a great vibe and lots of cool Weber history. Like they guy that used to make the wooden handles for the kettles is the key who did all the woodwork in the restaurant. Fun fact, huh?
A couple of those weber guys were judges at a comp I competed in this past summer. Great guys! Nice first peek bro!
How much fun was that . You and Harry are my heroes right now. I do like the new smoke/fire pellet grill. Was there any talk about a line of Weber pellets? Hate to date myself but The Weber Restaurant is on the ole bucket list. Thank you for sharing
I have seen on Weber’s social media and their website that there will be a line of Weber pellets available. Supposedly made with 100% hardwood and zero fillers.
Awesome! I've been a Weber guy all my live... 3rd generation grilling with Weber.
I am looking forward to seeing it in-person! Looks good! Thank you for the post! Best wishes to you and family!🧧🤙🌺
Super video Jason... can't wait until your full review
I'll be purchasing the small SmokeFire. I can not wait to smoke up ribs, beef+brisket burgers, chicken legs, pork belly burnt-ends..my first pellet experience and to think I almost bought a damn Traeger! lol
Ironically, the ad for Traegar preceded BBM's review.
At some unknown point in time, I plan on adding pellet cooking to the patio. Can't wait to see more. Lots of pellet cookers now in the marketplace competing. Those 36 incher kettles were amazing.
Great video. Thanks for bringing it to your subscribers. The grill looks great as well as the pricing. With that said I’m not a big fan of pellet grills/smokers but I am a Weber fan. I’ll have to check it out when it hits the stores. Thanks again.
Justin glad they got you out there for this. I'm hoping to see you do a up close and personal use of this rig if you can. This might be the pellet grill that I have to make room for at home. Never thought I would say that. Those steaks looked great.
Hi Justin. i'm truly going back and forth with this cooker. sleepless nights. lol
Lots of great options. Can’t go wrong
First like and comment... and now to watch!
SDSBBQ lol goofy
Dash you know I'm not a huge fan of pellet grills but I see their place amongst our many cooking devices but Webber might just have made me a believer, damm that looks cool.
@@victorbenner539 Man I tell you pellets are the new propane and are going places... this one seems like a paradigm shift with the way it gets hot. I am looking forward to figuring out how to get one.
@@SDSBBQs damm,I really need to get to bed but what the hell. The problem for me ( I have already seen the suggested retail price for these wonderful toys) is this creates a diversion from my goal of getting little bubba ( yeah I already have a name for that Lonestargrillz 30" ×70" cabinet offset , it's about $5,000. ) But wow, this Webber looks VERY promising. Now dammit, I mean it ,goodnight.
That was cool to see the restaurant behind the scenes
Looks good so far. Cool restaurant too, the big kettles are cute, haha!
I’ve been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned it in one of your videos. Very exciting.
Very nice, Justin. Always enjoy your videos. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay area.
Live that leather Weber apron!
Man it all looks great. I know that they will do well on the market. I've heard of the Weber restaurant but have never been to one. It's definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing bro. Have a great rest of the week.
Weber just sent all the pellet grill companies back to the drawing board.
Good vid...I feel Weber should of left the pellet grill market alone...their too late to the game. Weber would of been better to focus on a gravity fed charcoal grill like the MasterBuilt 560. It appears to be a game changer. Look forward to your review of that grill.
I have been wanting a pellet smoker, and now that Weber has one, my mind is made up. Glad i waited on buying one until they announced theirs. Still blows my mind that the Summit Charcoal is more than this.
Freeze frame @5:05 serving steaks at 103.3................ Solid guys.
I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a Pitts and Spitts Maverick 1250 this week! Might have to hold off now and see what this bad boy can do...
super cool behind the scenes stuff!
I just have to wonder if this will last 20 years like the 3 kettles I own. Pretty hard to beat the Kettles. Great video, thanks for sharing that.
The body is built like the kettle. I didn't see anything that is a weak point. The electronics probably won't last that long but alot of it is built to be easily upgradable in the future and of course, weber will always be there in you need parts. They really thought this through.
Lack of stainless steel. It will rust out like a Traegar
the new weber kettles are junk!
Nice to see your face. Nice to see Weber stepping up th here game. I want a pellet smoker but just can't pull the trigger. This could be the one.
Those restaurant grills look amazing!! Thanks for all the info.
Just Awesome cannot wait to see more information on their pellet grill! Looks like the hopper is in the back with a short auger like RecTec...Interesting for sure! Thanks Justin!!!
I like the design of the original kettle and the 36". Any chance Webber wants to remake the original or start making the 36".
also I can't wait to hear pricing and a full review. Looked like the pellet grill can actually sear a steak.
Johnny Kratsas 1425.00 gets you a 36” kettle. They’re enameled unlike the ones at the restaurant. It cooks about 3X what a 22.5 does. Shock and awe your guests!
Thank you again, your videos are always awesome, this is why I subscribe!
I cant wait to get my hands on one! I also hear that Kevin will be live tonight on the BBQ Central show, would love to see you on Greg's show, you would be a perfect addition to his interviews
Enjoyed this. Thanks.
wish a more in depth look at the grill was available for us.
0:25-0:32, your concern is addressed
Kenneth Wanczyk I agree. I don’t like that there are no shelves either & those wheels won’t cut it for me.
@@4wolverines go blue!
Go Blue!!
I am on the road. This was all I had time to get up and I choose this over sleep. I'll have more in the future.
Food looked great Justin. I bet everyone ate well.
Oh wow, love the large kettles! Mean vid bro!
Looks great can’t wait!!!
Thx sir for the info,I've had thoughts about a getting pellet smoker after seeing this my thinking has just gotten a little more intense...🙎🏽♂️🤔😳. Now my head hurts....😂😂😂
I'm sorry. I tend to have that affect on people sometimes. lol. Thanks for watching, Steve
Can't wait until the full review comes out next year.
So cool. I can't wait. I love weber.
Great to see this video, seen you popping up on Instagram on several people I follow stories and feeds. Great to see bbq royalty like Harry and yourself involved in this! You inspired me to start bbqing and sharing @uk.bbq. Thank you for the great videos over the years to help me do it
Another awesome video! Looking forward to seeing more clips on the pellet smoker if possible :-)
I’m looking forward to the review. Webber does stuff right. My Webber grill is a cooking machine, but I fell in love with cooking on my Rec Tec!
My Weber kettle is my go to, but I sure hope they’ll have stainless grates available. The plated steel never last long enough.....this might have swayed my decision on another brand I was gonna buy! Well done Weber
Wooo beatiful video(again) regards from italy (you inspired me for launch the channel)
It seems to me that Weber is focusing on the SmokeFire's ability to grill - is it a smoker that can grill, or a grill that can smoke if you want? And from the video of the flame up on the steaks, the grillmaster should invest in a set of Grill Grates. It's an interesting product for sure, and no one can deny Weber's leadership in the industry.
How cool was that! what a treat eh!
The real question is...when are we invited to checkout the one you’re going to preorder 😂🤣
haha
Freaking Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to more info! At one point, I will get a pellet grill, but waiting for the right one to come along. Looks like this year could be the year!
Cool, glad you got to go to this...
WOW! That's all I can say right now,,,,,, WOW! I was surprised to see all the venting in the back of the cook chamber. I've been poo pooing mine for having those as they let all the smoke out. I don't get it. I bought mine before I was informed the seal is important. Still learning.
Great share.
Jay
The steaks on the pellet... Now you have my attention. That has been my biggest complaint about my Traeger Pro 22 since I got it, it doesn't get hot enough... this looks like it solves that problem.
Can't help but think SCA events,right?
When am I invited over for dinner!?
@@victorbenner539 Hmm...
@@DjWooPig To my house? Let me know when you are in the area. You know your always welcome.
@@SDSBBQs honestly, when you compare the price of a full tricked out PK grill to the new Webber pellet for a little more you get digital temp control that's hot enough to do steak properly. I can't believe I'm the only one who thought about this. But damm that messes up my excuse for getting the PK ! Oh what to do,what to do?🤔😁
So, it's like an auto show of the BBQ world. That pizza and those rib eye steaks looked great. Cheers! 👍🖒
Dwayne Wladyka I believe the steaks were New York Strips.
