Weber Expands Smart Grilling Portfolio to Create the Backyard's First Seamless, Smart Ecosystem
Weber, one of the global leaders in high-performance, high-quality outdoor cooking technology and products, today unveiled its 2026 lineup of grills and accessories. The new portfolio delivers a totally seamless smart ecosystem for grilling by connecting smart grills, accessories, and the WEBER CONNECT® App across all major fuel types to elevate the everyday with more confidence, control, and consistently delicious results.
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. 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—grills, accessories, and the WEBER CONNECT App—sync to create an integrated, connected cooking experience.
“The Weber 2026 collection builds on years of technology and design innovation to give consumers more effortless ways to prep, cook, serve, and clean, so they can enjoy more time with friends and family,” said Roberto Carvajal, vice president, products, Weber. “Our engineers thoughtfully crafted each new product—from smart grills to wireless probes to intuitively designed accessories—to deliver the first fully connected system in the backyard, where everything works together in harmony.”
Weber Smart Probes: Connect to Any Grill, Remotely Track Temperature and Cook Time
The Weber smart ecosystem for the garden is now complete thanks to the introduction of the Weber Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger, Smart Hub Display and Booster, and Smart Probe and Grate Sensor. These tools provide more ways to seamlessly monitor food, grill temperature and cook time for delicious results every 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 with no wires, no hassles, and no guesswork. 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 WEBER CONNECT App. The Smart Wireless Probes can pair with a Weber smart grill, the new Smart Hub, and the WEBER CONNECT App.
The new Weber Smart Probe and Grate Sensor pairs directly to Weber smart grills or the WEBER CONNECT App via Bluetooth wireless technology for fast, accurate temperature readings. Its compact design, similar to a yo-yo, makes cable storage easy and the magnetic 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 screen 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 WEBER CONNECT App, 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 WEBER CONNECT App.
The Smart Wireless Probe with Booster and Charger (€99.99), Smart Hub Display and Booster (€69.99), and Smart Wireless Probe (€59.99) will be available this Summer while the Smart Probe and Grate Sensor (€39.99) will be available later this Spring.
The Reinvented Performer Charcoal Grill: Smart Design, Incredible Flavour
For 2026, Weber product development and design experts have reimagined the iconic Performer charcoal grill with cutting-edge engineering, sleek design updates, and optional smart technology to elevate every aspect of the charcoal grilling experience while preserving Weber quality and durability.
The star of the new Performer charcoal grill line is the 57cm 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
- Remote control via a smartphone using the WEBER CONNECT App
- Two built-in probe ports to monitor food temperature and one food probe
- A WEBER WORKS side table and side rail for drop in and snap on accessories
- Two wheels for easy mobility plus two swivel, locking casters
The 2026 Performer Charcoal Grill is also available without smart technology. All models have a cart, side table and sturdy storage shelf, and the same features as the iconic Weber kettle, including a porcelain-enamelled 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 €749 or base smart model for €599; a premium model for €649.99 and a base model for €499. The base models will be available in Spring; the premium models will be available in Summer.
Expanded Smart Grilling in Gas & Charcoal, Intuitive Accessories
The 2026 lineup also includes updates to the popular GENESIS and SPIRIT smart gas grills. These models feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, battery-operated digital thermometers that integrate seamlessly with the WEBER CONNECT ecosystem.
The new GENESIS Smart Gas Grill also features an ultra-hot Sear Zone that reaches up to 398ºC and a side table compatible with WEBER WORKS accessories. Available in Spring 2026, the liquid propane three-burner models of the updated Genesis Smart Gas Grill start at €1,299; the SPIRIT Smart Gas Grills will come in three- and four-burner models and start at €699.
GENESIS and SPIRIT gas grills are also available in a special Stealth® Edition featuring a sleek, all-black exterior, fierce red accents and black stainless-steel details.
Also new for 2026 is the Kettle Smart Ring — an innovative attachment for Weber57cm charcoal grills that adds easier temperature control and smart connectivity to classic charcoal cooking. The Kettle Smart Ring, also compatible with non-smart Performer charcoal grills, will be available for €299 in Spring 2026.
Smart design extends beyond connected technology. Building on the fast-growing popularity of griddle cooking, Weber is this year introducing the game-changing SLATE® GP 71cm Premium Griddle (€799)with a simplified hinged hard cover, porcelain enamelled cast iron cooktop and a high-capacity grease tray, for effortless cooking and cleanup. Ready to cook right out of the box, this griddle features three individual burners and heats up to more than 260ºC, providing even heat across the surface. While its griddle size is just 5cm smaller than the popular 76cm SLATE model, the 71cm griddle boasts a more compact design, with a total width reduced by 22cm. Thanks to its smaller fold-down side tables, it’s perfect for those seeking a space-saving solution without compromising on cooking power.
The latest 2026 Weber collection also introduces new accessories developed through extensive global consumer research, addressing real grilling pain points. New additions include more tools for griddle cooking such as a Griddle Chopper, squeeze bottles and burger press, and additional snap on accessories for the durable, user-friendly WEBER WORKS Accessory System that keeps tools, beverages and more within reach.
