Finally a pellet grill that can actually grill! Weber SmokeFire Stealth Review

In this Weber Smoke Fire Stealth Edition review, I share my experience cooking on this pit and talk about the changes Weber made to this model.

I've been cooking on Weber Stealth for about a month and have smoked a full-packer brisket, St. Louis ribs, and even pizza. Everything has turned out fantastic. Weber Stealth does a great job smoking meat, but I was really impressed with how this pit can grill. In fact, grilled shrimp on Weber Stealth turned out to be some of the best I tasted.

While there are a few things I think Weber could improve in the future, I've had a very positive experience running the Stealth Edition.

The assembly process on the Weber Stealth is pretty smooth, but because this pellet grill weighs around 200 lbs, you might want to have someone to assist you. It is also important to ensure that anything you're putting together around the fire pot is installed correctly.

One thing I noticed during the burn-off is how much smoke does the Weber Stealth produce. This goes the same for every next cook I did since the initial start-up.

I cooked on this pit 7 times before cleaning it. And while there was some build-up, I was happy to see that the grease ports never closed up. The overall cleaning process is the same as with any other pellet grill. The only difference is that with Weber Stealth you have a lot more separate pieces to take out and clean.

With over 1000 sq. inches of cooking space, you can easily cook for a big family or host a BBQ party. Plus, there's an option to add some Weber-crafted grillware such as a wok or a pizza stone in case you want to expand the cooking possibilities of this pit.

The controller features both Bluetooth and WiFi, so you don't have to babysit your food. Instead, use the app to control the temperature or set a timer.

There are a few things that I wish Weber made differently on this pellet grill. For instance, the pellet hopper could be wider, as it was a bit tricky to maneuver around the back of the grill to fill the hopper. I also think the top rack could be a little wider to be able to put a brisket on it and a drip pan underneath.

Overall, if you do a lot of grilling but also want to get into smoking, Weber Smoke Fire Stealth Edition can be the answer. Plus with a 100 days return policy, this pellet grill really seems like a great choice.

Great review on a nice pellet grill. Earlier versions had grease fires and bridging pellets. Weber is making some great pellet grills these days.

Good review Jeff! I'm really liking the SmokeFire! Looks like a well constructed pellet grill. It produced some really good looking food and those shrimp had my mouth watering!

As a previous Qstoves+ user, I have to say I'm impressed with the switch to Asmoke. The precision temperature control and the smart design have made grilling easier and more enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the ASCA™ technology that not only improves cooking results but also simplifies the cleaning process. The portability of the Asmoke Essential is a game-changer, allowing me to take my grilling adventures beyond my backyard. It's also great to see how Asmoke is committed to sustainability with the use of wood pellets as fuel, reducing waste and adding a unique flavor to the food. I'm excited for my future grilling sessions with Asmoke! #Asmoke

Nice job! I’ve had a Smokefire for a couple years now and it’s my favorite grill that I own to cook on. As you said it actually grills plus puts more smoke on the meat than any other pellet grill I’ve used. It also heats up quicker. I’ve had zero issues with mine and use quite often. The pellet hopper isn’t the best design they should move it to the front and use the lid as a shelf it would be easier to check and add pellets there plus it wouldn’t get all greasy from the exhaust.

I love Weber grills but my large pit boss I’ve had for a couple of years grills, smokes, bakes and broils. It does a good job too. I have done a lot of cooks on a Weber kettle and I loved that grill.

Glad to see Weber making some improvements

Nice review Jeff. I agree with you on the probe port and hopper. I like the rear design in theory but hate filling it in reality. The probes should have longer wires as well, they seem short. Other than that, I've had my EX6 for 2 summers now and have had nothing but good to great cooks. BTW, I also notice the dryness of the proteins on it when I use the lower grate. I bought an aftermarket custom top grate and have been smoking everything on that. It seems to have helped with that as it is further from the heat source. Wish Weber made a useable top shelf from the get go.

I've been a longtime Qstoves+ user but recently made the switch to Asmoke and I'm genuinely impressed. One of the main reasons I prefer Asmoke over Qstoves is the level of control I have over the cooking process. The digital controller allows me to set and maintain my desired cooking temperature with precision, which was something I struggled with using Qstoves. The different flavors of wood pellets available have also added a whole new dimension to my grilling experience. I've particularly enjoyed the distinct smoky flavor imparted by the pellets. The Asmoke Essential is not only lighter and smaller, but also provides remote temperature adjustment and food temperature monitoring via the app. This has made grilling much more convenient for me. I'm excited to continue exploring more features and flavors with Asmoke. #Asmoke

I switched to the Smokefire from a Rectec and holy smokes. My BBQ increased and versatility is amazing. This thing puts a smoke ring on meat like a stick burner. Love this, it’s a sleeper due to Gen 1 but Weber offers a 100 day trial. They are standing behind the product and it shows.

Excellent video I own the 1st series had some major issues but there is a learning curve going from gas t pellets

[dennisg.]

Weber must watch your made in Wisconsin videos. The new 2023 SmokeFire Sear has some of the improvements you asked for. Maybe it's finally worth getting one !

[judgewepbbq]
