## What reviewers say

**Weber SmokeFire EX4 Wood Fired Pellet Grill (2nd Gen)** — Only one whitelisted tester, Reviewed (USA Today), yields a real hands-on body. It calls the SmokeFire a genuine smoke-and-sear all-rounder that makes excellent brisket, but flags grease-fire risk, inconsistent searing heat, and temperature swings. Important caveat: Reviewed's hands-on second-generation unit was the larger EX6 (their EX4 test was the first gen), so no whitelisted tester bench-measured this exact 2nd-gen EX4 -- measured figures are therefore not attributed to it.
