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 o for the remainder of the cooking session.
The grill’s fan provides oxygen through the burn pot to fuel the fire throughout
your cook.
Grilling Recommendations
• Use a large WEBER drip pan under the cooking grates when smoking or
cooking food at low temperatures to catch grease and food drippings, and
also add moisture to your food.
• Always keep the grill lid closed during preheating and cooking for best
performance.
• Download and use the WEBER CONNECT app with your SMOKEFIRE grill to
automatically get the latest and greatest software and feature updates.
Pellet Quality Matters
Using high quality WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS
is essential for optimal grill operation. The pellets should have a crisp snap
when broken, instead of easily crumbling apart, to avoid grill performance
issues. Good quality pellets should give o minimal dust and should not
appear faded or white in color. They should also always be stored indoors
inside an airtight container to prevent the absorption of moisture and
humidity.
Recommended SmokeFire Maintenance
• Empty the grease and ash drawer before every cook.
• Remove the grates, flavorizer bars, and heat deflectors, scrape the cookbox,
and clean the burn pot of any ash or debris every 20 hours of cooking or 12
cooking sessions, whichever comes first.
• Scrape out the cookbox before transitioning from a low-and-slow cook to a
high heat sear.
• Always run a full shutdown after each cook to ensure grilling success the
next time.
• Purge and empty the hopper and auger tube every 4 weeks with regular use.
Every 2 weeks without regular use.
