Weber’s 2026 lineup looks to transform outdoor cooking with smart charcoal, gas, and griddle options, all powered by the Weber Connect ecosystem. From wireless probes to redesigned Performer grills, the brand is bringing previously ‘dumb’ outdoor appliances kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Smart probes and accessories
The Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger delivers cable-free convenience, tracking food temperatures with precision. It works across any grill or oven, pairing with the Weber Connect app for alerts and doneness notifications.
The Smart Hub Display adds flexibility, connecting multiple probes while boosting Wi-Fi range, while compact sensors like the Smart Probe and Grate Sensor provide fast readings and even work indoors, making them versatile tools for everyday cooking.
Pricing starts at £39.99 for the Smart Probe and Grate Sensor, while the Smart Wireless Probe Plus with Booster and Charger retails at £94.99. These accessories are set to roll out in the UK and US across Spring and Summer 2026.
Full-on smart charcoal grills
It’s not just smart accessories either; the redesigned Performer Smart Charcoal Grill brings Wi-Fi control to Weber’s iconic kettle design.
A digital controller regulates airflow for long cooks, while Rapidfire Assist speeds up preheating. Remote monitoring via the Weber Connect app ensures confidence during overnight smoking sessions. The premium smart model is priced at £719, with a base smart option at £579.
Weber’s updated Genesis and Spirit smart gas grills integrate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled thermometers. The Genesis Smart Gas Grill features a powerful Sear Zone that reaches 398ºC and is compatible with Weber Works accessories. Prices start at £1,225 for Genesis and £675 for Spirit, with Stealth Editions offering a bold all-black design.
Lastly, the Kettle Smart Ring adds smart connectivity to classic 57cm charcoal grills, priced at £289. Meanwhile, the Slate GP 71cm Premium Griddle offers edge-to-edge heat, fold-down side tables, and a porcelain-enamelled cooktop. Compact yet powerful, it retails at £749 in the UK.
