Weber engineered the SmokeFire to perfect wood pellet grilling by expertly combining low-and-slow cooking and hot-and-fast searing into the same package. Each SmokeFire will be built with Weber’s signature porcelain-enamel construction to prevent rusting and cracking. You can go from 200°F to 600°F using Weber’s new engine that delivered precise temperatures. Take a look at some more innovative features:

SmokeFire will also debut a revolutionary new cooking technology from Weber called Weber Connect.

After one use of the June Oven, Jim Stephen, chairman of Weber-Stephen Products LLC, knew that the JuneOS had to be brought over to the BBQ world. Of the partnership, Matt Van Horn, June co-founder and CEO, had said:

“Our mission has always been to use the power of technology to make cooking accessible for everyone, and taking that smart technology from the kitchen to the grill was an ideal evolution for June, especially with a leader like Weber as a partner. Together, we’ve created something truly innovative in the Weber SmokeFire pellet grill, which will give anyone from a novice to an experienced griller the guidance to unlock their full grilling potential.”
