My first reaction with this was a huge eye roll, but as I've read more and more about this, Weber would be foolish to not participate in the pellet grill space. As a respected manufacturer and innovator, Weber should have some market share here. While I'm not interested in purchasing one these outdoor ovens, I'm interested in seeing how they differentiate themselves from the competition.

Agreed with everything said here .

A vertical auger? Any pictures of the auger?

This is an interesting side view of the unit...

It has been confirmed there are two models - 24" and 36"

- Vertical Auger
- GBS Compatible
- Flavorizer bar setup
- iConnect (iGrill) w/Possible add-on accessory to connect to Alexa etc

Ballpark $1000 USD for the smaller unit, $1200 for the 36"

Not a pellet guy myself but this certainly has me curious... if its a quality unit they could have a big seller at that pricepoint IMO.

Nice pellet grill. For the price I’d rather buy the charcoal summit.

I think most of us would, but if money and space were not an issue I think a lot of us would have one of these on our deck or patio.  I love to use my charcoal Webers, but they do require more set up time and clean up time.  Because of this I am limited to using them mostly on the weekends (especially after the time change has it dark and cold before 5 p.m.).  Not to mention my wife refuses to use a charcoal grill because of all it entails. 

If this truly does hold up and work well with the clean up and usage I imagine it will be pretty popular.  Plus, I imagine about anyone (including the wife) would be willing to use it because of it is set it and forget it until the timer goes off just like the oven. 

If they ever introduce one of these things with a side burner I will really be tempted as it would probably complete my grilling needs that isn't satisfied by a charcoal grill.

Even if I had the money and desire, I wouldn't buy the first generation as they'll be working out the kinks. Second generation, maybe.

I probably wouldn't buy the first generation unless it was a hell of a deal.  I would also be a little afraid to buy used in case the electric panel, auger, or heating components were damaged or malfunctioning.

The kettles and gassers are fairly easy to figure out if something is wrong.  This is a totally new animal that doesn't have a wealth of DIY videos and experienced WKCers to rely on if something happens.

Baby Back Maniac posted a new video review.  However, it won't be complete until the App/Interface is live.  I hope they nail the app and this starts to take a good chunk out of the Pellet grill market.

With no pellet experience this may be a stupid question.  This says it holds 20 something pounds of pellets.  How much pellets get used for an average cook?  Is this like 5 cooks worth or not even close?
