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

each cook to determine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When
grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of
fire.

COOKING SYSTEM
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 off 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.

(B). Alternatively, you can push the main menu button . Using the 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.

Changing Pellets/Purging Hopper
There may be times when you want to change the WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL
A
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
B
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 different 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.

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 off 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.

required after the completion of low & slow cooks, before beginning a high
temperature cook, to remove fatty deposits not burned off 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 off 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 diffuser are in place, brush or scrape
them clean, then remove them from the cookbox and set aside.
5. Hold the heat baffle 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.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE ASH AND GREASE SYSTEM DRAWER WHILE OPERATING THE
GRILL, OR IF STILL HOT AFTER SHUTDOWN. Frequently replace the disposable drip
pan before igniting the grill to reduce the risk of a grease fire.
9. Reinstall the heat baffle, heat diffuser, FLAVORIZER bars and cooking
grates inside the cookbox.

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
off 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 different
flavors of pellets. Explore the possibilities.
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.
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
baffle, FLAVORIZER bars, heat diffuser, and cooking grates. Wearing protective
gloves is recommended when handling these parts.
m WARNING! Do not clean the heat baffle, FLAVORIZER bars, heat diffuser, 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
