The SMOKEFIRE, STEALTH Edition grill, which features a sleek all-black exterior, received a Red Dot in the coveted Product Design category for its innovative and high-quality design.

ABOUT THE SMOKEFIRE, STEALTH EDITION GRILL

The SMOKEFIRE, STEALTH Edition grill (available in two models: EPX4 and EPX6; available models will vary by geographic region.) is the best wood pellet grill for high heat searing and low and slow smoking, delivering exceptionally delicious wood fired flavor.

It also offers:

• Broad 200-600°F (95-315°C) temperature range, making it the best wood pellet grill for high heat searing, smoking, and everything in-between.
• Compatible with the WEBER CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection of grillware (sold separately) to open up the types of meals that can be made on a pellet grill, adding the ability to roast, steam, bake, and more.
• Integrated WEBER CONNECT smart grilling technology creates perfectly grilled food through real-time food temperature alerts, reminders, and flip and serve notifications at the grill or on the phone. With the WEBER CONNECT app, grillers stay connected to their grill while taking care of guests, watching the game, or enjoying a drink.
• Built-in interior grill lighting illuminates the entire cooking grate for those extended evening or early morning cooks.
• Top cooking grate provides a large, second level of grilling capacity.
• FLAVORIZER bars designed for direct, more consistent heat, unlike traditional pellet grills, which use a large diffuser plate that blocks the flame.
• Porcelain-enameled structure retains heat longer, even at cooler temperatures, and prevents the formation of rust and cracks.

The SMOKEFIRE, STEALTH Edition grill will formally receive this Award during the 2022 Red Dot Design Week, starting June 20 in Essen, Germany. As the Award recipient, the SMOKEFIRE, STEALTH Edition grill will become part of the exclusive collection of award-winning products in the Red Dot museum in Zollverein (Essen).
