There are a lot of devices that tack on a bit of tech and connect to an app in order to enter the ‘smart’ market, whether or not there’s any value in doing so. However, Weber’s Connect Smart Grilling Hub isn’t one of those. When Senior Editor Billy Steele spent some time using it to grill ribs, tri-tip and pork shoulder, he found the Smart Grilling Hub to be a useful tool with some thoughtful software features. The recipes were helpful, the alerts helped keep the food’s temperature on target and the instructional videos were informative. Add in hardware with a long battery life and well-thought-out controls, and the Connect Smart Grilling Hub earned a credible score of 80.
