Pros
- A tester's thermometer held within 5 to 10 degrees through a long low-and-slow smoke
- Two meat probes included, and Weber Connect app control
- 5-year warranty on the cook box
- A clean Amazon owner base: real purchases, no free-unit reviews
Cons
- Fell 30 to 46 degrees short of a 450°F set point in Men's Health's test, and two owner reviews say it would not get hot
- Smallest main grate here: 385 sq in
- Weber's app showed the set temperature, not the measured one, in Popular Mechanics' test
- Weber does not publish the hopper size; testers report 20 lb
It may not reach high settings: owners say it would not get hot, matching a tester whose probe read 260°F when the app said 450°F.
