Are outdoor grilling appliances smart home devices? They are nowadays, and Weber is leading the charge with its 2026 line-up that includes models with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Weber Connect app support, smart wireless probes, smart hub displays, and more.
The 2026 lineup expands smart cooking options for charcoal grilling with the Performer Smart Charcoal Grill and Kettle Smart Ring. Updated models of the popular Genesis and Spirit smart gas grills feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, battery-operated digital thermometers with low-power chip technology. The new Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger can be used with any grill, enabling precise temperature monitoring regardless of fuel type. All Weber smart products, including grills, accessories, and the Weber Connect app, sync to create an integrated, connected cooking experience.
Weber Smart Probes Connect to Any Grill
The Weber Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger, Smart Hub Display and Booster, and Smart Probe and Grate Sensor provide more ways to seamlessly monitor food and/or grill temp and cook time and can be used with any brand of grill.
The Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger delivers cable-free convenience for grilling and rotisserie cooking. The product includes a sleek and slim Smart Wireless Probe with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled charging case to enhance probe connectivity; the case also supports pairing with additional Smart Wireless Probes (sold separately) and pairs with the app. The Smart Wireless Probes can pair with a Weber smart grill, the new Smart Hub, and the app.
The new Weber Smart Probe and Grate Sensor pairs directly to Weber smart grills or the app via Bluetooth for fast, accurate temperature readings. Its compact design, similar to a yo-yo, makes cable storage easy and the magnetized back keeps it within reach. It also works in an indoor oven for broiling and baking.
The new Weber Smart Hub Display and Booster is a compact device with a bright LCD that can be placed near any brand of grill or oven. It connects up to two Weber wired and four Weber wireless probes or sensors (sold separately) to monitor internal food temperatures and cook times. The Smart Hub pairs with the app and has a built-in Wi-Fi booster to enhance connectivity of paired probes, and functions as a portable display for Generation 2 Weber smart grills, allowing monitoring away from the grill without a smartphone.
The new Weber smart grilling devices allow consumers to set up cooks, monitor temperatures, and receive flip and serve alerts, timers, and doneness notifications from anywhere via the app.
The Smart Wireless Probe with Booster and Charger (US$115), Smart Hub Display and Booster (US$90), Smart Probe and Grate Sensor (US$40), and individual Smart Wireless Probe (US$70) all come with a two-year limited warranty.
Updated Performer Charcoal Grill
Originally launched in 1990, the Performer charcoal grill has seen many updates over the years. For 2026, it has been reimagined with sleek design updates and optional smart technology. The star of the new Performer charcoal grill line is the 22” Performer Premium Smart Charcoal Grill, which features an LCD Wi-Fi enabled controller that regulates temperature by controlling airflow into the coals, ideal for long cooks and overnight smoking; Rapidfire Assist mode for faster startup and preheating; and remote control via a smartphone using the app (a non-smart version is also available). There are also two built-in probe ports to monitor food temperature and one food probe. It comes with a Weber Works side table and side rail for drop in and snap-on accessories, and two wheels for easy mobility plus two swivel, locking casters.
All models have a cart, side table, and sturdy storage shelf, and the same features as the iconic Weber kettle including a porcelain-enameled finish that is scratch and rust-resistant, adjustable dampers for manual temperature control, and an improved One-Touch cleaning system that makes ash removal quick and easy. The durable, hinged cooking grate flips up on either side to easily add fuel, and the Tuck-Away lid holder provides a convenient place to nest the lid against the side of the bowl.
Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the new 2026 Performer Charcoal Grill is available in a premium smart model for US$799 or base smart model for US$599; and a premium non-smart model for US$649 and base model for US$449.
