The Weber SmokeFire Series grills are a premium range of barbecues for chefs who are looking to optimize their summertime cooking capabilities with some of the latest technology. The grills will deliver a heat range of between 200 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and are each powered by wooden pellets that are fed into the system through a hopper. The system will automatically push the wooden pellets into the fire throughout the cooking process to ensure it's kept at the optimal level required for grilling or smoking recipes.
The Weber SmokeFire Series grills are set to be available for preorder starting on Cyber Monday, and will start shipping in early 2020 to have them ready for spring and summer use next year.
