DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION statements
are used throughout this manual to emphasize
critical and important information. The
statements are defined as:
mDANGER!: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
mWARNING!: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
mCAUTION!: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
mDANGER! Keep flammable vapours and liquids
away from the barbecue. Never use petrol,
petroleum lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
’freshen up’ a fire in this appliance. Keep all
such liquids well away from the appliance
when in use.
mWARNING! For outdoor use only. The pellet
barbecue must be located such that flue gases,
including smoke, will not enter any building.
Consult with the local fire or building codes for
additional requirements.
mWARNING! Creosote – Formation and need for
removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly,
they produce tar and other organic vapours
that combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
mWARNING! The ash and grease system and
cookbox should be inspected before each
cook to determine when grease and/or
creosote build-up has occurred. When grease
or creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of fire.
mWARNING! Disposal of ashes – Always wait for
the barbecue to completely cool after proper
shutdown. Do not dispose of any grease or ash
until they are fully cooled.
mWARNING! Use only WEBER SMOKEFIRE

grounded plug, suitable for use with outdoor
appliances. The maximum length for the
extension cord is 4m (13 feet). Keep the
extension cord as short as possible. Examine
the extension cord before use and replace if
damaged. To minimize the risk of property
damage and/or personal injury, do not use
an extension power-supply cable unless it
conforms to the specifications listed in this
manual.

to avoid these hazards.
mWARNING! The food temperature probes are
very sharp and can become hot when in use.
Use care when handling the probes to avoid the
risk of injury.
mWARNING! Do not allow the hopper to empty
during operation of this barbecue.
mWARNING! The power cord supplied with your
barbecue has a three-prong (grounding) plug
for your protection against electrical shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into
a grounded three-prong outlet. Do not cut,
remove or modify the plug in any way.
mWARNING! WEBER recommends that you
regularly check the burn pot, auger and
cookbox for any obstructions that might
block and prevent proper air flow. See the
RECOMMENDED CLEANING section for more
details.
mWARNING! If the barbecue is stored outside
during periods of non-use, rain or high
humidity, the wood pellets should be inspected
within the hopper to ensure they are dry.
Hardwood pellets, when wet or exposed to high
humidity, can expand, break apart and clog or
obstruct the auger feeding system.
mWARNING! If using the WEBER CONNECT app
to monitor the operation of the barbecue, make
sure that all safety precautions otherwise
applicable to the operation of the barbecue
have been observed prior to using the
barbecue. Someone familiar with the operation
of the barbecue must be in close proximity
of the barbecue in order to address any
emergencies that could arise. Do not leave the
barbecue unattended.

A Porcelain Enamelled Lid and Cookbox
Built to outlast the competition, SMOKEFIRE’s shine goes far beyond looks.
Theexclusive WEBER Porcelain-Enamelled finish withstands the elements and helps
prevent rusting and cracking over time.
B Large Hopper
The large capacity hopper holds an entire 9kg (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
barbecues 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 channelled into a
contained drawer for a quick and easy clean-up. This means not having to look at
all that nasty grease in a bucket hanging from the side of your beautiful new pellet
barbecue. This unique system also prevents ash from blowing up into the cookbox
and onto your food.
E Large Barbecuing 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 barbecue, similar to a
heating element in an electric oven.

Shutting Down Your Barbecue

1. When your food is cooked to your desired internal temperature, using
heat resistant barbecue mitts or gloves, open the barbecue 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, barbecue handles and barbecue surfaces
will be hot. Always use heat resistant barbecue mitts or gloves before handling,
cleaning, moving, or storing the barbecue or its parts.
NOTE: For food temperature probe cleaning instructions, see the MAINTENANCE
section later in this manual.

Changing Pellets/Purging Hopper
There may be times when you want to change the WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL
NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLET flavour for your next barbecuing session, or
purge the hopper for a thorough cleaning or maintenance.
1. From the rear of your SMOKEFIRE barbecue, 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 barbecue. 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 barbecuing.
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 barbecue.
BARBECUING METHODS
Your Weber SmokeFire is capable of many dierent cooking methods such
as barbecuing, searing, smoking, baking, braising, and roasting. Part of the
excitement of pellet barbecuing is that you get to enjoy all of your favourite
recipes infused with real hardwood flavour. This element of flavour can
elevate your average meal and make it something extraordinary.
NOTE: When barbecuing 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 cooking programmes, there
are more reasons to love your WEBER SMOKEFIRE barbecue. Explore and
