Weber Smoque review: A simplified smart grill that’s still a workhorse

Weber built a more affordable option, but it didn’t cut corners on performance.

With the Smoque(pronounced "smoke"), Weber wants to give prospective pellet grillers access to reliable performance and basic smart features for less money than its more versatile Searwood series. This isn’t a problem if you’ve got the Weber Connect app handy, but you’ll want to be mindful of which item you leave on the screen if you’re planning to glance at the progress from across the deck. This means you still get the effect of infusing flavor back into foods when grease and juices hit the hot metal and sizzle, albeit on a smaller scale.
