If you’ve been struggling to get consistent low-and-slow temps on the Weber Smart Performer, you’re not alone.
In this video, I break down the real-world issues I ran into during the launch—especially temperature overshooting when using typical charcoal setups. I walk through the most common theories, test them one by one, and show you what’s actually causing the problem.
More importantly, I test Weber’s latest firmware update to see if it finally fixes things… or if there’s still work to be done.
This isn’t a sponsored review. Just honest feedback based on multiple cooks, controlled tests, and a lot of trial and error.
