Weber SmokeFire EX4 Folding Front Shelf, Silver

This extra shelf on our new pellet grill has worked out great. And following Weber's history of craftsmanship it fit perfectly and was very easy to install.And when folded down it fits perfect within the Weber pellet grill cover. As with Weber products, top quality and it appears that it will be durable like the grill itself.

Not as well built as the grill for sure. Not impressed with the quality.

The shelf was relatively easy to install. The only hard part about the installation was lining up the rod that runs the length of the shelf. If you have a second set of hands, which I didn't, it would probably take you a couple of minutes to complete the installation. I use it to put a baking sheet on it to take the food in and out of the smoker much easier—less chance of dropping it or dripping grease.I've seen some people complain about how the clearance of the shelf isn't much when the lid is closed. Just put the food on the side shelf. Open the lid. Now move the food to the front. Simple solution.I'm loving it so far. I just fold it down when not in use. I store the smoker outside in the weather so I do have a cover for it. I've had zero issues with the cover with the shelf folded down. I would recommend it of you want some extra shelf space.

This shelf came in today. It was a 5 minute installation with zero tools required ( there are a couple of youtube videos that show how to install this shelf). I see some think it's flimsy. While I wouldn't use it as a step ladder this shelf is great for the intended purpose. I really like it and find it to be very handy.

The shelf is made of a reasonable gauge SS for the price and is relatively easy to install; however, the design seriously compromises its usefulness. With the lid closed its handle covers the shelf by at least one-third and is so close to the surface (of the shelf) that a sheet pan doesn't have clearance. So, for example, if you want to place your pan of meat on the shelf, load the smoker, and then close the lid you have to remove your pan, and anything else on the shelf, to do so. On the flip side, you can't place anything on the shelf before you open the lid. I've resorted to a separate table next to the unit. Also, the shelf has hooks to hold the upper cooking rack when not in use. the hooks are on the back side of the shelf mounting bracket facing the back of the unit. Even with the shelf in the "up" position, the user has to squat down to see what you're doing.Ultimately a design in need of improvement. For the price, you can get a decent SS side table.

Installs easy, looks nice and is very useful. It folds down but I keep mine up. Note: Weber cover does cover BBQ even with the tables in the up position so no need to lower for cover to fit.

Love the foldable add on to my SmokeFire. This would have been a 5 star but when the lid is down you loose space on the shelf.

Now that grilling weather has arrived, I have grilled steaks, tenderloin roast, salmon, and chicken. Have also smoked a salmon fillet.Smoked salmon was easy and delicious. Target grill temperature worked great, as did "Smoke Boost".Using the temperature probe for the steaks and tenderloin made both of those tasks easier, more reliable, and eased the process of coordinating with preparation of other side dishes.Using the target grill temperature made the grilling of the chicken and salmon easier without worrying about whether or not the grill was too hot or not hot enough. Found I should follow directions on "Weber Connect" regarding doneness. When it says remove after a certain time, I chose to wait another five to ten minutes and wound up with meat a bit more dry than we wanted!Would recommend to others.
