The Weber Connect app is your secret ingredient to Smart Grilling! Weber Connect is the companion app to Weber smart grills and devices. When paired to a Weber Connect grill or device, the app becomes your sensor dashboard, remote control, and recipe book all in one! Track temperatures from anywhere The temperature of your grill is important. Weber Connect grills and devices can track your grill's temperature and alert you when it drops below your target temp due to a flameout or spikes because of a flareup. With the Weber Connect app you can follow its temperature and get alerts for important events. Even more important is the temperature of your food! A few degrees are all that stand between perfect and overdone. Weber Connect grills and devices let you track your food's internal temperature precisely with connected food probes and transmit them to your app. Watch the temp rise on the graph so you know when it's almost time to head back outside to take the steaks off, or set a target temp and get alerted when it's done no matter where you are. Adjust the grill without getting up from the couch Some Weber grills, like the SmokeFire, can have their cook temperature and mode changed by the app. That means you can turn the heat up, go into SmokeBoost mode, or shut down your grill without taking your eyes off the game. Never wonder what to make for dinner again The Weber Connect app has over 800 recipes built-in, with more being published every month. Every recipe has been crafted and tested by Weber Grillmasters, and many are fan favorites, so you know you can't go wrong with any of them! And almost half of our recipes are Smart Recipes, which walk you through, step-by-step, with short looping videos and clear instructions so you know when you're doing it right. Grilling has never been easier or more fun! The new Weber Connect 2.0 app has the important features of the original app: • Remote temperature monitoring • Temperature limit alerts • Temperature range alerts • Timers • Remote cooking control for grills that support it • Smart Recipes • Classic Recipes • How-To videos for Weber Connect grills & devices • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE connectivity Plus some new tricks: • Live graphs • Graph sharing • Graph data export • Grill naming • Recently-cooked recipes • Recipe bookmarks • iPad support • Improved accessibility • Dark mode

Summit Smart Grill
3d ago

The app works pretty well with the new Summit smart grill, but some things could be better. Suggestions:1) allow broader indirect and direct cooking ranges. You cannot set the grill to temperatures less than 450 in direct mode or above 400 in indirect mode, so you have to try to manage manually. If I can get it manually, so could the grill which would be much more pleasant. 2) haven’t tried newest version of software, but older version didn’t indicate when to flip by temperature. 3) add better control of temperatures with rotisserie (indirect, with inflated burner)Thanks.

The app started out pretty strong, but more recently I’ve seen lots of problems. 1) Connecting to the grill at all feels hit-or-miss. Half the time it works, the other half it doesn’t. There’s no clear rhyme or reason. 2) Even when it’s connected, the app doesn’t always give you the most current information on temperature or timers. Not sure how or why this happened but now you need to tap around to force the info to update. 3) The notifications and alerts went from being useful and descriptive to being something generic like “Weber App needs attention”. This is just terrible for the overall experience. Instead of being informed that the grill is at temperature or that the timer has been completed, there’s a moment of anxiety where the full range of potential problems is on the table because of this poor messaging. This app was good at one point. It can get back there, but it needs some love from Weber’s design and dev team.Update:Revised down to 2 stars. This most recent mid 2023 update is really bad. The app isn’t as clear or as useful as it was before and feels like it’s lost a lot of personality along the way. Please consider rolling back this most recent update. The previous version was a better foundation from which to iterate vs this one.

Your grill the sear wood 600 xl is phenomenal. Perfect heat, most smoke from pellets are terrible but the sear wood has figured out how to use pellets better than any smoker I’ve ever used. Now that’s the pro onto the Con. Your app graph is useless. It doesn’t zoom in to see temp fluctuations. It doesn’t store the info so we can take notes on how the smoking went, and if I accidentally swipe up on my iPhone it loses the history from the start of the smoke and starts over again which is the worst out of all the problems. When I wake up and smoke at 5am and check my smoker at 9am and accidentally swipe up while I’m groggy in tha Am after an early AM I need the App to hold my data and provide it back to me when I want to review my results. Also for 1200$ I should get a shelf and not have to buy it cause that’s just ridiculous for that kind of money. Overall the grill is great but when I tell my friends I don’t focus on the positive just the weak parts when they also are deciding if they want to invest in a $1200 smoker grill combo. Thank you

When it actually Connects . . . .

Buggy. 1. Start up is painful. Will not automatically connect. Doesn't show a connection but shows the option to Disconnect. iPhone shows a Bluteooth connection but the app shows Offline. Will not recognize my wifi although the router is only six feet. Must manually connect.2. After finally connecting all probes, Bluetooth and wifi, a temperature reading is displayed momentarily. Then Connection Lost message appears although my iPhone shows a Bluetooth connection and a router connection too.3. After another repeated connecting effort, it may last for a while, until Bluetooth is lost showing Offline yet transmitting over wifi.Definitely not Plug and Play easy although apparently accurate when all steps are shaking hands.
