People have loved Weber grills for generations, and with proper care a Weber grill may last that long. But there are a lot of other grills out there, many of them with the same features, at a much more reasonable price. What makes Weber grills so expensive? And are they worth it?

About Weber

Weber grills grew out of Weber Bros. Metal Works, a family business started in 1893. In 1952, co-owner George Stephen Sr. had been cooking with a brazier at home, and used some old sheet metal to build the first Weber grill (then called “George’s Barbecue Kettle”) and bring it to market.

Until then, outdoor cooking was typically done over an open flame or in a brick oven, and this “kettle” was the first grill of its kind, designed for improved performance and consistency when cooking outdoors. The product became so popular that Stephen soon led the newly formed Weber Barbecue division.

In the late 50s, Stephen bought out the Weber Bros. factory, renamed the company Weber-Stephen Products, and devoted the new business to barbecues and grills, developing new materials, new techniques, and new ways to cook outdoors.

Weber remained a family firm until 2010, when BDT Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company.

There are a few factors that set Weber grills apart from other, less expensive grills. The most important features are:

Design and Engineering

Weber is not only the inventor of the backyard grill as we know it today, but the company has continued to innovate over the years. The company continues to develop new technologies, file patents, and innovate more and better grill techniques, and pays attention to customer feedback. This means that even classic Weber designs often get thoughtful upgrades like self-cleaning systems, grease channels, and other improvements over their own and competitor grills.

Materials

Weber grills are made with porcelain-coated enamel or stainless steel, cast iron, and other high-quality materials. The company uses welds instead of fasteners when building grills, which takes more time and labor, but creates more durable, rustproof seams.

Testing and quality assurance. Weber grills are thoroughly tested to meet company standards. Each model is tested to simulate 10-15 years of use, and make sure that they stand up to touch conditions.

Easily Repaired

Weber makes grill schematics and replacement parts easily available. This makes them easy to repair at a wide range of service centers, or to order parts and repair them yourself, without having to ship the grill anywhere. This also means that you may be able to find an older model Weber at a garage sale and rehab it with new parts, to bring it back to life.

Support

Weber has world-class customer support that takes the time to make sure you are satisfied. They help you with questions, problems, and repairs, and have excellent response times and follow-up.

Warranty

Most Weber grills have a 10-year warranty, and the company stands by their product. They will even refund the cost of shipping if a return is necessary. Even when a Weber is out of warranty, as we’ve already mentioned, it’s easy to get replacement parts and keep a Weber grill in great condition for decades.

Weber Grills Decline in Quality?

Even the most devoted Weber fans may have noticed a decline in quality in recent years. There are a few factors at play that may be at the root of these issues.

International Assembly

For decades, Weber grills were made entirely in the US. Over time, they moved production of parts overseas, and only assembled their grills in America. Today, although the company is still headquartered in the States, most of them are manufactured abroad. While all their grills still meet Weber’s rigorous testing, some people feel that there has been a decline in overall quality since production was outsourced.

Lower Grade of Steel

In recent years, Weber has switched from 304 stainless steel to 430 grade steel. While the thick-gauged 430 currently used by Weber is durable and holds up, it is a lower grade of steel than the original Webers.

Behind the Curve

While Weber has a well-deserved reputation for innovation, they aren’t currently adapting well to a new generation of smart grills.

While competitors have technologies that allow you to monitor and adjust your grill from a smart device, which can be incredibly useful if you are smoking a brisket overnight or have to run to the store for missed ingredients, Weber’s foray into intelligent grilling leaves a lot to be desired. While the Weber Connect system and Smart Grilling Hub are great ideas in theory, in practice the technologies are prone to glitches and connection issues, and even when they are working properly, they are inaccurate and not very useful.

Since we are living in increasingly connected homes, and can get smart connections to ovens, coffeemakers, and even light bulbs, this is a pretty serious oversight. It would be better to not have these technologies at all, than to offer them to consumers when they don’t work properly.

Are Weber Grills Worth the Money?

Despite these drawbacks, for most people the answer is a resounding Yes — Weber grills are still worth the money.

When used traditionally, without any smart tech, these grills give you fantastic results, convenient features, and incredible durability. That being said, some of the Weber models launched in the past couple of years aren’t worth the investment and seem to have been rushed to market.

Because of their durable materials, quality builds, and readily available parts, many people choose to continue upgrading an older model Weber or finding a used one and rehabbing it.

In almost every case the smart choice is to buy an older Weber model if you can, or to wait for honest, unbiased reviews of new models before rushing to upgrade. The best Weber grills are worth every penny.

Traeger has long been the industry leader in wood pellet smokers, ever since Joe Traeger invented the technology in the 1980s. But barbecue legend Weber has just entered the pellet grill arena, launching their SmokeFire with Weber’s patented Flavorizer bars. Is the original still the best? Or has Weber brought something new to the world of pellet grills? Let’s find out.

Traeger Ironwood Overview

The Ironwood is Traeger’s mid-range pellet grill, placed between the Pro and Timberline grills, but it has a lot of advanced features first introduced with the Timberline. The Ironwood has Traeger’s new D2 Direct Drive system, where the redesigned fan and auger work together to create more wood smoke flavor, even at higher temperatures.

The D2 drive enables Turbo Temp, which lets the grill get hotter, faster, and recover more quickly from temperature drops.

The Ironwood has Super Smoke mode, so you can get extra smoky flavor in your foods. The Traeger Ironwood has durable construction, with double side-wall insulation, a stainless steel side shelf with hooks, locking casters, and a brushless motor.

The Traeger Ironwood is a smart grill, with Traeger’s WiFIRE technology. WiFIRE allows you to use the Traeger app to adjust the grill temperature, monitor internal food temperatures, set alerts and timers, and more. It has over 1500 recipes, along with demo videos  and tips and tricks.

You can also set up a profile so you can get recipes, follow your favorite pit masters, and shop online with Traeger.

Traeger Ironwood Standout Features

Traeger Ironwood grills have a few standout features that are incredibly useful:

TRU Convection  Downdraft Exhaust and Traeger’s TRU Convection optimize cooking times and improve temperature consistency

D2 Drive  The D2 drive may not speed up temp times as much as claimed, but it does help the grill recover temperature rapidly after being opened.

Keep Warm  The Keep Warm setting is very convenient.

Initiate Shutdown Remotely  You can use the Traeger app to start the shutdown process, burning the remaining pellets and cooling down the grill from wherever you are

Weber SmokeFire Overview

The Weber SmokeFire is the first wood pellet grill from Weber, designed to allow you to sear and smoke on the same grill. It has a shorter auger path, with drive technologies that improve speed to temperature and reduce jams.

Of course, the SmokeFire has Weber’s famous Flavorizer bars, which direct heat straight to the grate without diffusing it, and direct grease down into the easy-clean drawer, reducing flareups. Like the Traeger, it has a Smoke Boost function for extra smoke flavor.

As you might expect from Weber, it’s made from incredibly durable porcelain enamel, which resists rusting and peeling, and it’s backed by Weber’s famous warranty and customer service.

The Weber SmokeFire is also Weber’s first smart grill. With the Weber Connect app, you can monitor cooking times, get a notification when it’s time to flip foods, access recipes and video instructions, and more.

Weber SmokeFire Standout Features

The Weber SmokeFire has some great features that pit masters are looking for in a pellet grill, including:

Fast to Temp  The shorter auger, direct pellet delivery, and absence of a diffuser tray  allow the SmokeFire to come to temperature very quickly.

Wide Temperature Range  With temps from 200-600°, the SmokeFire can smoke, sear, and reverse-sear to perfection

Flavorizer Bars  As always, the Flavorizer bars do their job, getting heat directly to the grate while preventing flareups

Traeger Ironwood vs. Weber SmokeFire

Both the Ironwood and the SmokeFire grills come in two different sizes, with all other features being identical. Here’s a head-to-head comparison of the SmokeFire EX4 and the Ironwood 650.

	Traeger Ironwood 650	Weber SmokeFire EX4
Grilling space (square inches)	650	672
Size (lid closed)	47”H x 46”W x 27”D	47”H x 43”W x 33”D
Top grate size	22 x 10.5 inches	24 x 10 inches
Bottom grate size	22 x 19 inches	24 x 18 inches
Temperature range	165 – 500°	200 – 600°
Hopper capacity	20 pounds	22 pounds
Meat probes (included + capacity)	1	1 + 4
Keep warm mode?	Y	N
Extra smoke mode?	Y	Y
Pellet sensor?	Y	Y
Locking casters?	Y	Y
Warranty	3 years	5 years for cook box, 3 years electrical components, grates, etc.

Traeger App vs Weber Connect

There really is no comparison here, because the Weber Connect app has so few functions, and is unreliable at the functions it does perform.

It does not allow you to remotely adjust the temperature of your grill, or give you a graph or trendline to indicate whether the temperature is rising, falling, or holding steady.

It has an existing library of foods, and when you select your cut of meat, it enables a timer that tells you when to flip, rest, and serve the food.

However, the library is extremely limited, and many users report that the app’s time estimates are very inaccurate.

While the Traeger App isn’t perfect, it does function more as you would expect it to, with the ability to adjust the grill temperature from your mobile device, set timers, get notifications, and has the basic functions you need for a smart grill.

Winners and Losers

Time to Heat  SmokeFire heats up faster

Temperature Range  SmokeFire gets hotter for better sears

Size and Capacity  SmokeFire is larger

Warranty  SmokeFire’s warranty is longer, and covers labor and shipping, which Traeger’s does not

Consistent Temperatures  Ironwood’s convection and downdraft exhaust give more consistent temperatures for more consistent results

App Functionality  Traeger app may not have all the features people are looking for, but Weber’s app is barely useful

The Ironwood Advantage

You might think that, with all these wins, the SmokeFire would be the pellet grill to buy. But the SmokeFire has disappointed a lot of grillers, and not just because of the app.

Some people report wide discrepancies between the display temperature and the actual temperature inside the grill.

The pellets don’t always feed properly. The app can give wildly inaccurate time estimates. It produces great, smoky flavor in the food, but does not live up to what most people expect from a Weber.

The Ironwood has a few flaws, but it’s a reliable workhorse with a lot of useful features, an app that is genuinely helpful, and imparts deep smoky flavor.

The inconsistencies of the SmokeFire don’t live up to what we would expect from a grill in this price range, and Weber needs to work out consistency issues with the grill and the app before we would recommend it.

How Do Pellet Grills Work?

While other brands have already been successful in this arena, Weber has finally launched both a wood pellet grill and a smart grill, with their much-anticipated SmokeFire.

The Weber SmokeFire is a wood pellet grill designed to give your grilled foods an authentic, wood-fired taste. This grill sears, smokes, and everything in between, backed by Weber quality and engineering. Let’s take a closer look at the Weber SmokeFire pellet grill.

Weber SmokeFire Overview

The Weber SmokeFire is designed to be a single grill that can both sear and smoke, allowing you to cook low-and-slow or get a fast hot sear, with natural wood fire flavor. With temperatures up to 600°, you can cook any meat to perfection.

The innovative auger drive system inside the SmokeFire feeds pellets directly over the heating element for fast pre-heating, with a short auger path and responsive engine that prevents jams. The SmokeFire has two large grilling grates, giving you plenty of room for all your favorite foods.

Flavorizer bars deliver high heat directly to the cooking grate without diffusion or hot spots, while reducing flareups and directing ash and grease into an easy-to-remove, and easy-to-clean drawer. The porcelain-enameled finish is exceptionally durable, and it’s also backed by the Weber warranty, so you know it will last.

The Weber SmokeFire is compatible with the Weber Connect app, which allows you to remotely monitor the temperature of your grill from your phone, and notifies you when it’s time to flip foods, and when foods are ready to serve. The app works with the SmokeFire to give you perfect results every time you grill.

Weber SmokeFire Key Features

Sears and Smokes:The SmokeFire has a wide, 180-600F temperature range that lets you achieve the perfect results on everything from brisket to steak. This temperature range lets you both smoke and sear with one grill.

Flavorizer Bars: What would a Weber grill be without the patented Flavorizer bars? These bars help the cooking grate reach high, searing temperatures, without collecting ash and grease, so you don’t have flare-ups.

Smoke Boost: Selecting Smoke Boost adds an extra smoky flavor to your food, by smoldering your pellets at 165-200°.

Weber Connect: With Weber’s mobile grilling assistant, you get notifications when it’s time to flip and time to serve.

Porcelain-Enameled Finish: The high quality finish on the SmokeFire resists rust, cracking, and peeling, for exceptional durability and great looks over time.

Internal Cleaning: The SmokeFire has an internal cleaning system that directs ash and grease into a single, easy-to-clean drawer.

Pellet Hopper Sensor: The grill gives an alert if the pellets are low, which is a nice feature to have.

Weber SmokeFire Models

The Weber SmokeFire comes in the EX4 and the EX6. Here is a comparison of both models:

Feature	SmokeFire EX4	SmokeFire EX6
Dimensions (lid closed)	47”H x 43”W x 33”D	47”H x 55”W x 33”D
Total grilling space (square inches)	672	1008

Wood pellet hopper size	22 pounds	22 pounds
Porcelain-enameled lid and cook box	Y	Y
Porcelain-enameled heat distribution plate	Y	Y

The only difference between the two models is the size (and the price).

Weber Connect App

With the Weber Connect app, you can:

• Use Bluetooth to remotely monitor your SmokeFire foods
• Estimate time until your foods are finished
• Get step-by-step instructions and video demos on how to prepare foods
• Get notifications for when to flip foods or when they are ready to serve

Unfortunately, the app doesn’t have a number of features that users want, and that are offered by competitor smart grills. The Weber Connect app does not allow you to:

• Remotely adjust the temperature of your grill
• Monitor the grill with more than one device
• Show a temperature graph to indicate whether the heat is rising or remaining steady
• Temperatures and recipe measurements are in Fahrenheit and US measurements only
• Recipe and food library is fairly limited, which means that notifications and instructions may not apply to your specific recipe or cut of meat
• Time estimates on the app can be extremely inaccurate

While no smart grilling app will allow you to remotely start a grill (for safety reasons), other apps allow you to adjust the target temperature, have more options, and are more accurate. Weber is taking the negative feedback seriously and is committed to improving the app and making it more useful.

Weber SmokeFire Bottom Line

By itself, the Weber SmokeFire is an incredible grill if you want true wood smoke flavor. It creates beautiful flavor, gorgeous smoke rings, and sears and smokes quickly and consistently. This grill gives wonderful, light smoke and imparts fantastic flavor. That’s the good news.

The SmokeFire also has a number of problems, and they are the kind of unforced errors that are difficult to accept in a grill in this price range, from a brand with this reputation. At launch, the Weber SmokeFire had a pellet “bridging” problem, where the pellets would stop feeding, showing the hopper as empty when it isn’t. This is currently being addressed by a small hopper accessory, but it’s an inconvenience.

The SmokeFire isn’t as easy to clean as Weber claims, or as some other pellet grills; ash and smoke and grease mingle inside the grill, and make it tough to clean. The temperature display on the grill itself can be inaccurate, forcing users to manually calibrate the grill, and the Weber Connect app is a disaster.

The SmokeFire has all the makings of a fantastic grill, and the ability to smoke and sear on the same machine is a game-changer. It also feels like it was rushed to market, lagging behind competitor pellet grills, and not quite delivering on the product. Weber is hard at work addressing these issues, so we hope to see a more polished SmokeFire on the market soon.

 

Pellet grills are taking the grilling world by storm, because they are a fantastic way to grill, smoke, and sear, with excellent consistency and control. Pellet grills were invented by Joe Traeger in the 1980s, but to understand how they work, it’s best to take a step back and understand the underlying technologies. Let’s explore how pellet grills work.

Wood Pellets

In the early 20th century, most American homes used wood fire stoves for heating and cooking. During the Great Depression, when fuel became more expensive, many of these homes started burning scrap wood and sawdust.

In 1930, the first Presto-log was introduced, where scrap wood and sawdust were compressed into a log shape and packaged for fuel in the home.

These “logs” burned more efficiently than hard wood logs, because they have less moisture content, and produce less ash. In the home, these logs were safer because they do not generate dangerous creosote in the chimney.

Over time, these compressed wood products became reduced in size, down to the pellet shape we know today. Instead of being burned one at a time like a fire log, pellets could be fed into a fire from a hopper, maintaining a fire more consistently for longer.

Pellets are bound together by the natural lignin in the wood, and shaped by intense pressure, rather than by being bound using an adhesive or additive, making them an environmentally-friendly product.

The Rise of Pellet Stoves

During the energy crisis of 1970s, domestic pellet stoves became a popular way to heat American homes. The industrial hopper technology was made more compact, suitable for domestic use.

Pellet stoves work by storing a large quantity of wood pellets in a hopper near the stove. A motorized auger connects the hopper to the fire, delivering a steady stream of pellets to the fire.

The auger feeds a set amount of fuel to the fire, while also preventing smoke and fire from traveling backwards into the fuel hopper.

Pellet stoves typically have two fans: a combustion fan that keeps the fire supplied with oxygen, and a convection fan that circulates heat within the stove. This air circulation eliminates the need for a downdraft from a chimney, instead relying on exhaust systems for ventilation.

These stoves are, therefore, extremely well-insulated, retaining heat for longer, and can be used in small homes without a chimney, or where traditional wood stoves might be dangerous.

How Do Pellet Grills Work?

Once you understand how pellet stoves work, it’s easy to understand how pellet grills work.

• A hopper is filled with wood pellets. When the temperature is set and the stove is ignited, the auger begins to turn, delivering wood pellets to the fuel area of the grill
• The pellets are ignited
• A fan circulates the air inside the grill, providing a consistent temperature
• The insulation of the grill maintains temperature regardless of outside weather conditions

The amount of fuel delivered over time is controlled by the thermostat, which will deliver a measured amount of pellets to maintain that temperature. Food is cooked with radiant heat, like an oven, rather than by direct heat, like a grill.

Pellet grills require electricity to operate the auger motor and the fans, feeding fuel and oxygen respectively to the grill as needed to maintain the set temperature.

Difference Between Pellet Stoves and Pellet Grills

The primary difference between pellet stoves and pellet grills is the nature of the pellets. Wood pellets used for home heating may contain hardwood, softwood, and scrap biomass that burns well and affordably for heating, but the smoke can lend an unpleasant taste to foods.

Wood pellets used for grilling are food-grade, burning more cleanly and without other biomass additives.

In addition, food-grade wood pellets can be chosen specifically for their smoke flavor, available in hard woods like mesquite, maple, apple, hickory, pecan, cherry, and other popular grilling flavors. It’s important that a pellet grill use high-quality, food-grade pellets, and not pellets designed for other purposes.

Common Features of Pellet Grills

While every pellet grill has slightly different features, here are some of the most common:

Low Hopper Alarm

The grill will give an alarm or notification when fuel is running low, so you can add pellets or adjust the temperature accordingly.

Standard Fuel Consumption

For most pellet grills, the rule of thumb is that you will need 2 pounds of wood pellets per hour of low and slow cooking, and 4 pounds of wood pellet per hour of cooking hot, at temps above 400°F.

Versatility

Pellet grills offer the convenience, consistency, and control of a gas grill, with the flavor and smoke of a charcoal grill. They are more versatile than a smoker, and easier to clean up than a wood fire. They have a temperature range that is perfect for low-and-slow briskets, or hot enough to sear a steak, typically ranging from 140°F to 500°F.

Advantages of a Pellet Grill

As you may have noticed by now, pellet grills offer several distinct advantages over other kinds of outdoor grills. The reasons everyone loves pellet grills include:

Precise and Consistent Temperature Controls

Pellet grills use fuel and air to create a perfectly consistent temperature inside the grill, and maintain it for hours, just like the oven in your kitchen. This allows you to “set it and forget it” for foods that require long smoke times at low temperatures or boost the temperature for a precise and perfect sear.

Low Ash for Easy Cleanup

Wood pellets cook down to less than 1% ash, so cleanup is fast and easy, and there are fewer problems from ash buildup over long cooking times.

Real Hard Wood Smoke and Flavor

The convection fan inside a pellet grill creates an even circulation of hot, smoky air, so you don’t need to position vents for optimal smoke flavor. The ability to choose a wide range of wood pellets made from real hard wood without additives imparts a ton of smoke and flavor to food, naturally and without additives or chemicals.

Simple Operation

With many traditional hard wood smokers, it’s necessary to manually monitor and adjust the air to fuel ratio, adding wood chunks and shaping the fire the way you need it. A pellet grill automates the optimal fuel to air ratio, so you don’t need to maintain the fire.

No Flareups

Provided the pellet grill provides a drip pan to catch grease, these grills have virtually no risk of flareups.

Drawbacks of a Pellet Grill

Despite all these great features, pellet grills aren’t perfect. Here are a few drawbacks.

Need Extra Care in Wet Conditions and Wet Climates

Because the pellets are, after all, made of wood, they will not burn well when wet. Wood pellets in storage and in the hopper need to be kept dry.

Requires Electricity

Depending on your use, this can be a pretty severe drawback. The need for a constant electrical connection makes these grills less friendly for portable uses like camping or tailgating. Most standard-sized pellet grills need to be powered by a generator, or a car or boat battery, so they can’t simply be powered by a car adapter.

May Require More Significant Repairs or Maintenance

If you are comparing a pellet grill to a standard charcoal grill, that can be another big downside: If something breaks or needs repairs in a pellet grill, like an electric wire, a motor, or the drive train, then the entire grill is non-functional.

Likewise, with a digital grill, if there is a technical glitch or error, the grill won’t work. With charcoal and even many gas grills, if a particular part breaks down or needs repair, you may still be able to use the grill, even in a more limited fashion.

Less of the Pit Master Experience

This aspect won’t matter to many people, but to some, it is important. Cooking on a pellet grill is more like cooking on an oven, where you set the temperature and the timer and then walk away. You do not need to open the grill to flip or move food. There are virtually no flare-ups.

There are virtually no grill marks. There’s practically no reason to put on an apron, break out the tongs and spatula, and stand around the grill with a beer. For some people, what is summer even about if you aren’t standing around a grill with a beer?

What to Look for in a Pellet Grill

If you are considering buying a pellet grill, here are some of the key features to look for to make sure you are getting good value for your money.

Hopper Design

Most hoppers are gravity-fed, where pellets naturally slide down as fuel is fed into the fire.

Some hoppers are prone to “pellet bridging,” where pellets get clustered against each other and don’t fall down the hopper, making the grill think it’s low on fuel when the hopper is full. This is a design flaw in the hopper, and manually minding the hopper will always make using such a grill more cumbersome than it needs to be.

If you plan to get a lot of use out of your pellet grill, choose a high capacity hopper for fewer refills.

Drivetrain

In a pellet grill, the drivetrain moves the auger. While such motors don’t need to be particularly powerful, since they are only pushing pellets, it’s important that they be accurate and reliable, ideally for years.

The drivetrain ensures that the right amount of fuel is delivered at the right time to maintain the desired temperature and needs to be the most reliable system in your pellet grill.

Smart Grilling Features

Because pellet grills are ideal for set-it-and-forget-it grilling, they are the best candidates for integration with mobile devices. Smart pellet grills will allow you to remotely monitor and adjust the temperature of the grill, receive notifications about fuel levels, set timers, and more. These apps are perfect for low-and-slow grilling and smoking, allowing you to monitor the grill for hours from anywhere you happen to be.

The most common pellet grill problems are feeding jams, where pellets get clogged in the auger, or fans and sensors not working properly. In most cases, those problems are not issues with the grill; they are just a question of maintenance. High-quality pellets, when kept dry, are much less prone to clogging and jamming.

Cleaning ash and grease from inside the grill keeps the fans, fan motors, sensors, and exhaust systems working correctly. As with any type of grill, peak performance requires regular cleaning and maintenance.

Pellet grills are incredibly versatile, able to cook and smoke all kinds of foods to perfection, with more simplicity and accuracy than other types of grills. They are easy to use, easy to clean, and give natural, smoky hardwood flavor to everything you grill. There’s a reason that these grills have become so popular in recent years, and why so many people swear by them.

Now you know how pellet grills work, what their common features and drawbacks are, and what to look for in a pellet grill, you’ll be able to choose the pellet grill that is perfect for your needs, and enjoy a pellet grill for years to come.
