Awesome Tips Weber's smart pellet grill holds its own against Traeger
We obviously had to grill and eat lots of delicious food for science. Witness our noble sacrifice.

The Weber SmokeFire EX6 is a $1,200 pellet grill. We make a variety of foods to see if the price is worth it, even for a novice cook. We also compare it to the standard-bearer of pellet grills, the Traeger Timberline 850.

Your green BBQ skills show.
Your top grill grate was installed upside down and reversed. It should have the "lip" or raised portion towards the back and pointed up to prevent food from falling down the back.
lol I quit watching as soon as the burger probes made an appearance lmao
I am a huge weber fan. Have had a Genisis for the past 8 years and it's still going strong. I was going to buy the weber pellet grill to get into some smoking fun but I saw one thing that turned me away. Why would weber mount the Pellet hopper right outside when the hot smoke goes out of the smoke. Not to mention, that is a VERY narrow channel to pour a bag of pellets into a hopper. If and when weber changes this, mounts the hopper on the side away from the heat, I may look into buying one of these.
Weber had to take my (and a bunch of others) smokefire back after choking itself out on pellets at random times. A real shame – loved the look and when it worked it was great – but if you are constantly worried about your food – whats the point?
Traeger is an ugly grill. Weber's grill looks so cool, it looks like its cooking when it just sitting there. its beautiful
EZ bake over….get an orginal kettle …some beer and grow some balls
im almost positive he had a grease fire on the steaks. I could be wrong but pellet grills dont flame up like that.. and i know this unit in particular has that issue if not cleaned properly.
Why is the upper rack upside down and backwards… actually why is the upper rack in at all?
This guy has no idea what he’s doing. 🤦🏼♂️
The probes go through the top of the unit so you don't get any smoke escaping from the front.
Did you have any problem with the right side being hotter?
I prefer getting barbecue equipment information from someone that probes a hamburger…and still under cooks it. Geez dude.
Traeger can't hold a match to the SF, No smoke flavor…outdoor oven
Traeger or weber? Which is better?
Have fun pooping blood when you get ecoli
is it me or is the warming rack UPSIDE DOWN?

Treager is over rated and over priced
Love Weber but I'll stick with my kettle.
Just something about charcoal.
