No they haven’t


I have 4 friends that have all had pellet grill grease fires. All different, major brands.

The Weber Smokefire is notorious for grease fires.

There is absolutely NO REASON to have a grease fire if you use it correctly and keep it maintained.

This is true, but it was a defect in design that was corrected last year.

I've had a fire on a pit boss pellet grill but it was when my wife tried to use it when I wasn't there even though I told her not to because I knew it needed to be cleaned. However, I know some of the newer models are much easier to clean. Also, after the fire I got a gravity fed charcoal and I like that one much better. It's a little more work to get started up but it's not bad at all. Still easier than traditional charcoal but not quite as easy as a propane or pellet grill where you just press a button. But the flavor is better and it gets hotter, faster.

I have three pellet smokers and if they are cleaned they will not have a grease fire. I do a burn-off every so often and raise my temperatures up slowly to the 450 degree range with NO fires.
