m DANGER!: Indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

m WARNING!: Indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

m CAUTION!: Indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

A Porcelain Enameled Lid and Cookbox

Built to outlast the competition, SMOKEFIRE’s shine goes far beyond looks. The exclusive WEBER Porcelain-Enameled ﬁnish withstands the elements and helps prevent rusting and cracking over time.

B Large Hopper

The large capacity hopper holds an entire 20 pound bag of pellets, and then some perfect size for all day smoking.

C Responsive Incline Drive Engine

This DC powered engine was built to heat hotter and faster than most pellet grills in order to reach a 200º-600°F (93º-315°C) temperature range. This gives you the versatility to sear steaks, smoke BBQ ribs, bake pizza, and everything in between.

D Easy-Clean Ash and Grease System

With superior ash and grease removal, the ash and grease are channeled into an external, contained drawer for a quick and easy cleanup. This means not having to look at all that nasty grease in a bucket hanging from the side of your beautiful new pellet grill. This unique system also prevents ash from blowing up into the cookbox and onto your food.

E Large Grilling Area

Two large levels of cooking space will hold enough food to feed everyone at the party.

F Glow Plug Ignition

The glow plug provides ignition for the fuel in your pellet grill, similar to a heating element in a electric oven.

Shutting Down Your Grill

When your cook has ended, your WEBER SMOKEFIRE must be properly powered down to clear the auger and burn pot of any remaining pellets and ashes. This helps your grill be ready to go the next time you want to start it up.

Please follow these steps to properly shut down your WEBER SMOKEFIRE:

1. When your food is cooked to your desired internal temperature, using heat resistant barbecue mitts or gloves, open the grill lid, remove and unplug any food temperature probes from the food and cookbox, and remove all food o of the cooking grates (A).

WARNING: Food temperature probes, grill handles and grill surfaces will be hot. Always use heat resistant barbecue mitts or gloves before handling, cleaning, moving, or storing the grill or its parts.

NOTE: For food temperature probe cleaning instructions, see the MAINTENANCE section later in this manual.

2. With the grill lid open, push and hold the dial to shutdown your grill

(B). Alternatively, you can push the main menu button dial on the controller, scroll through the main menu and push to select “Shutdown”.

CAUTION: Always engage the shutdown procedure with the grill lid open to properly shutdown your grill when ﬁnished cooking. Frequently interrupted cook cycles could cause component failure.

3. Your SMOKEFIRE grill will run through a series of steps in order to properly and safely shutdown your grill. Once the shutdown procedure is complete and the grill has cooled, power o your grill (C) and unplug from the power source.

4. Close the grill lid (D).

Changing Pellets/Purging Hopper

There may be times when you want to change the WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLET ﬂavor for your next grilling session, or purge the hopper for a thorough cleaning or maintenance.

1. From the rear of your SMOKEFIRE grill, set a large container underneath the middle of the hopper (A).

2. Pull the hopper slide door located on the rear of the hopper to release the pellets into the container below (B).

WARNING: Before ﬁlling your hopper with WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS, visually inspect the hopper ﬁnger safety guard to ensure it is in place and not damaged (C). If damaged, immediately contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website for a replacement.

We recommend using WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS with your SMOKEFIRE grill. For best results, store your pellets in an air tight container to prevent moisture from impacting pellet performance. Always check the condition of your pellets before grilling. The best way to judge the freshness of pellets is to break one in half. Pellets should break with a snap, not crumble in your hand. Pellets that crumble in your hand may impact the performance of your grill.

Grilling Methods

Your WEBER SMOKEFIRE is capable of many dierent cooking methods such as grilling, searing, smoking, baking, braising, and roasting. Part of the excitement of pellet grilling is that you get to enjoy all of your favorite recipes infused with real hardwood ﬂavor. This element of ﬂavor can elevate your average meal and make it something extraordinary.

NOTE: When grilling or smoking over a longer period of time, WEBER encourages the use of our large WEBER foil pans between the FLAVORIZER bars and cook grates to catch drippings and grease for easier clean up.

Explore Your Settings

There are many more features to be explored on the controller and the WEBER CONNECT app. From programmable timers to cook programs, there are more reasons to love your WEBER SMOKEFIRE grill. Explore and experiment with all of the possibilities.

Fuse Replacement

If your SMOKEFIRE grill is non-responsive even after securing all electrical connections, it is possible that the grill’s fuse has blown. The grill’s power supply utilizes a 5 Amp, 120 Volt Cartridge Fuse. This simple and inexpensive part can be easily replaced with the following instructions:

CAUTION: Only use the properly sized and rated fuse when replacing. Failure to do so will void your warranty. The correct fuse is:

1.6A, 250V

1. Make sure that the grill is completely cool, then power o and unplug the

grill from the power source (A).

2. The fuse is installed inside the fuse holder located on the underside of the hopper. Use a ﬂathead screwdriver to gently pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse (B).

NOTE: WEBER recommends replacing the fuse if there is suspicion of failure.

3. Install a new fuse into the fuse holder and reinstall the fuse holder into the power module (C).

CAUTION: Make sure the fuse holder is fully installed and closed before operating your grill.

4. Plug in, power on the grill, and begin a cook to allow the controller to run diagnostics.

MAINTENANCE

Recommended Cleaning

In order to keep your WEBER SMOKEFIRE grill running smoothly for years of barbecuing and smoking, WEBER recommends a thorough cleaning of the grill after 20 hours of cooking or after every 12 cooks. Additional cleaning may be required after the completion of low & slow cooks, before beginning a high temperature cook, to remove fatty deposits not burned o at low temperatures.

WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOLED AND UNPLUGGED FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.

CAUTION: NEVER SPRAY THE GRILL WITH A STEADY WATER STREAM SUCH AS FROM A GARDEN HOSE OR POWER WASHER. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS COULD BECOME DAMAGED.

CAUTION: WEBER recommends the use of barbecue mitts or rubberized gloves to protect your hands while cleaning your grill.

Please follow these steps for cleaning your grill:

1. Once your grill has completed a proper shut down and completely cooled, power o the grill and unplug from the power source.

2. Open the grill lid and brush or scrape the lid clean with a grill brush or the included scraper.

3. While in place, brush or scrape the cooking grates clean, then remove them from the cookbox and set aside.

4. While the FLAVORIZER bars and heat diuser are in place, brush or scrape them clean, then remove them from the cookbox and set aside.

5. Hold the heat bae steady with one hand and brush or scrape clean with a grill brush or scraper with the other hand. Then remove from the cookbox and set aside.

6. Brush or scrape the interior of the cookbox with a grill brush or scraper. Direct all of the grease and debris towards the vents in the bottom of the cookbox, and into the disposable drip pan.

7. Using the included scraper or a soft bristle brush, clean out the burn pot, pushing any remaining ash or debris through the pellet grate at the bottom of the burn pot.

8. Remove the ash and grease system drawer to clean out ash and replace the disposable drip pan. In addition, clean the inside of the ash and grease system housing to prevent a buildup of ash that could stop the drawer from fully closing. Once the drawer and housing have been cleaned, reinstall the drawer.

9. Reinstall the heat bae, heat diuser, FLAVORIZER bars and cooking grates inside the cookbox.

Annual Engine Cleaning

Cleaning the Exterior of the Grill

The outside of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surface type.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and grills. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.

CAUTION: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide ﬁlm coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and Plastic Components

Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water and a soft, lint-free cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, lightly rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the Outside of Grills that are in Unique Environments

If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a light rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust. Use only as directed.

GRILLMASTER TIPS

Cleaning the Temperature Probes

Your included temperature probes should be cleaned after every use to ensure safe cooking practices. However, the temperature probes should never be submerged in any type of liquid because it could damage them. WEBER recommends gently wiping the temperature probes clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or paper towel.

Wear Gloves

Always wear heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when using your WEBER SMOKEFIRE grill. Vents, handles, ash and grease system, and cookbox will all get hot during the grilling process and can cause severe burns. Be sure to keep your hands and forearms protected.

Preheat Your Grill

Preheating your grill with the lid closed prepares the cooking grates and internal cookbox temperature for grilling. The heat loosens any bits and pieces of food hanging onto the cooking grates, making it easy to clean them o with a grill brush or wood scraper. Preheating your grill also gets the cooking grates hot enough to sear properly and also helps prevent food from sticking to them.

CAUTION: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, be sure to check for loose bristles. Replace the brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

Put A Lid On It

It is important to remember to always cook with your grill lid closed. This will keep your internal cookbox temperature where you want it to be and throughly cook your food.

Mix It Up

There are many varieties of WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS like Hickory, Apple, Cherry, and more. You can experiment by mixing dierent ﬂavors of pellets. Explore the possibilities.

m WARNING! Always unplug the grill from a power source and

wait for the grill to completely cool before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

m WARNING! Never spray the grill with a steady water stream

such as from a garden hose or power washer. Electronic components could become damaged.

m WARNING! Over time, the development of rough surfaces can

form on the heat bae, FLAVORIZER bars, heat diuser, and cooking grates. Wearing protective gloves is recommended when handling these parts.

m WARNING! Do not clean the heat bae, FLAVORIZER bars, heat

diuser, or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher, or self-cleaning oven.

m WARNING! Do not place any grill parts onto the side table as

they may scratch the stainless steel.

m WARNING! Do not use any of the following to clean your grill:

• Abrasive stainless steel polishes or pastes

• Cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene

• Oven cleaner

• Abrasive cleansers or pads

Cook Time and Temperature

If you are grilling in a colder climate or in windy conditions, the cooking times could be longer. These conditions will lower the grill’s temperature, so always monitor your grill and use food temperature probes to ensure safe food temperatures. Remember to keep the grill lid closed as much as possible during cooking so the heat and smoke do not escape.
