Weber SmokeFire EPX6 STEALTH Edition 36-Inch Wi-Fi Enabled Wood Fired Pellet Grill - 23611501

I love the grill, This grill makes long, slow, low temp cooking a breeze

Really like this grill a lot. I've had it for about a month now and have 6 smokes on it. A few minor things I would change, but the grill itself works awesome. As far as the pellet hopper box, being located in the back of the grill is not very convenient and makes it hard to access it when the grill is up against a wall (or close to). Also, the flavorizer bars don't seem to sit very well inside of the grill. I'm not sure why it was designed this way, as the bars easily fall off their supports with any kind of movement of the grill. The grill is designed with wheels, so clearly they flavorizer bars should be able to stay in place if you move it. Lastly, the other major competing pellet smoker on the market offers drip pans etc, which makes cleaning and maintaining the grill much easier. Weber should consider offering similar products. It's a hassle to clean this grill and I can see how this grill can be more easily susceptible to grease flare ups, etc. I bought this grill, because of the Weber reputation and my good experience with the brand. Make these improvements and I can see a bigger market share for Weber in its future.

Poor packaging and grill has scratched and dents on it before putting it together. For the amount I paid for this grill should not be getting a damage item.

Huge Weber fan and when I saw the Smokefire when I started my pellet grill search, I was drawn to the Stealth, even at the hefty price tag. I was able to put this together solo; my only complaint is an insert used to attach one of the handles on the smoker had a stripped nut. I was torn whether to request a replacement part but the second screw held firm so it wasn't a big deal overall. Love the "black out" look, the addition of the light, and the capacity of this grill. I've smoked about five times so far and the end product has been great. I've only used the top shelf to smoke a few briskets, pork butt, and ribs and used trays on the main shelf to catch any drippings from falling down into the bottom of the grill. The grill creates quit a bit of ash and I've made an effort to clean the smoker twice so far. Super easy to clean, but I haven't allowed the drippings to make a mess, which was a cause for the flame issues of past models. Will have to see how things go once the honeymoon is over and I start getting messy. Overall very happy with how this smokes! What I am bummed about. 1) temperature is not even from left to right; right side runs hotter. Not sure why as the burner is dead center. 2). Temperature spikes quite a bit if opening the smoker (for example to spray a brisket). Once opened and the temperature drops, it seems the smoker gets lost trying to bring itself back to temp and generally over compensates and goes pretty far beyond the set temp. This wasn't a problem when I smoked a brisket and didn't open it at all. 3) the pellet box needs a redesign; it is not steep enough as I've had pellets above the auger feed fine, but created a crater where the pellets on the far side didn't slide down. Received a low pellet error but there was still plenty in the box, just didn't slide down. Adding pellets puts you right in the line of fire of the smoke exhausts. 4). The light was awesome, until I smoked some meat. The light cover has itself become "stealth" as it is basically black and emits a dull, orange light. Safe to say it is worthless after my five smokes. 5) the grate could be better, heavier quality. They work fine, but feel a bit thin and flimsy, especially the top, removable shelf. Aside from the "bummers", I'm happy with this as my first smoker. The build quality is solid and it just looks great and it's smoked some awesome meats thus far, which is its main purpose!

At this point I consider this grill a danger to myself, my family, and my home. I am afraid to walk away from it as it may burn down my house. This is my third major fire and I have done it with and without a water/drip pan. Unfortunately, I gave this grill too much "benefit of the doubt" not realizing that Weber caps their satisfaction guarantee at 100 days, so they are unwilling to do anything about it. Fire Hazard (see pic) The pellet hopper at the rear of the grill vs the side is very inconvenient. Despite the V2 changes the hopper routinely ends up with pellets stuck on the chute Grease management is terrible. It just does not work – Dangerous Your chances for fire increase every time you use this without cleaning between every cook The app is limited to a single device for some odd reason. The app routinely hangs especially when trying to adjust your temperature timers. Also stops working mid-cook often and cannot be trusted. The side shelf the grill comes with is flimsy The temperature probes it comes with are too short to reach all the way to the opposite side of the grill. The grill cannot reach its advertised 600 degree temperature unless its warm outside and you use Weber brand pellets (they are smaller than other brands). This would be less of a problem if anywhere near me sold Weber pellets, but I have to mail order them. The grill is basically not insulated at all and struggles to get into the 400's when its cold out. Once you tell the grill to shutdown it goes through a 15-minute process which and you cannot turn it back on until the end of that 15-minute shut down. Disappointing that Weber (whose products I love) has failed in so many ways on what is the third release of this product.

Very Happy with the stealth pellet grill, have cooked some of the best barbecue ever.

Let me start by saying I've been grilling and smoking for years and consider myself to be a backyard BBQ pro. I've smoked everything from brisket to suckling pigs and everything in-between. I've owned and grilled on a XL Big Green Egg, a Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Mountain Charcoal/Wood Bullet Smoker and have owned plenty of gas BBQ Grills as well. I preordered this grill in January of 2022 and received it just before Father's Day, which I thought was great. I was so excited to get this grill, talked everyone about it, I preordered it, all the features I was reading about and the look, how cool was this grill going to be in my back yard!! What a disappointment. While the look of the grill itself is impressive, that's the only thing great about this grill. The bad news, 1. The grill only heats up on one side, for me it's the right side of the grill, the left side is nowhere near temperature of the right, which I've been reading is a common problem. The 3 grill vents are on the back of the grill pointing down, right down onto the pellet hopper grill lid. The lid gets very nasty with only a few cooks and must constantly be cleaned, and it's not easy to do. I have my grill next to the back of my house, the other thing that happens with the grill vents being on the back of the unit vs. the top is the smoke billows out onto the side of the house turning my siding brown from the smoke. And speaking of the hopper, it's very narrow and along the back of the grill, filling it isn't really that easy. A minor thing but all of these things start adding up. The temperature reading on the display is inaccurate, or my Meater Smart Thermometer is wrong. The grill itself is large but remember, one side is much hotter that the other so cooking a lot of food becomes difficult and you're constantly moving food around. And by the way, the upper grill grate is too low so flipping food or moving it around is nearly impossible. I'm so disappointed.

This is my 1st pellet smoker bbq combo and I'm impressed by its performance. This replaced my 13 year old genesis gas grill and WOW. Grills food amazingly and I'm on my second smoke already. The only down fall for the Smokefire Stealth is the plastic light lens turns yellow from all the smoke. I can't clean it. Other than that it's a great product and I look forward to many more cooks.

Was amazing for about a week. Then the power failed completely. Now the grill will not turn on and blows a fuse everytime I try to start it.

My primary goal was to up the flavor and grill a great steak but I wanted the convince of a gas grill but I was still looking for the flavor and searing abilities of wood or charcoal. I've had burgers and steaks that were cooked on other smokers and they were all missing that charred taste that is a big deal to me. I fell in love with the concept of the smoke fire but was scared by so many of the reviews so I did a lot of research. Once I understood this grill, I basically learned that for a long, slow smoke I just need to put a water pan under the meat that doubles as a drip tray, it gives extra moisture, catches the grease and makes clean up a breeze… something I'd want to do anyways with any smoker. Everything I've cooked has been a home run, even when I was unprepared and just seasoned and cooked stuff on the fly and the probes are great for getting the temp just right. When I bought this unit I was prepared to have to do regular cleaning but I've had no fires and have found that the cleaning has been easy and way more monomial than I came to expect after reading all the bad reviews! I love my smoke fire!
