The Reinvented SPIRIT Gas Grill: Boost Burner Power.Precision. Versatility. Exceptional Results.

Since its debut in 1995, the Weber SPIRIT gas grill has set the benchmark for performance, longevity, and affordability. For 2025, Weber product development and design experts reimagined this iconic grill, combining cutting-edge engineering, sleek design, and intuitive features to elevate every aspect of the grilling experience while preserving the legendary quality and durability that make SPIRIT a household name.

The new SPIRIT grill introduces several new features to enhance its performance, ease of use and versatility:

The new Boost Burners also elevate the grill’s power and control for exceptional evenness and heat management while enabling precise temperature control at levels of fidelity currently unavailable in the small format stand-up gas grill category or price point.

Outdoor cooks can also instantly transform any SPIRIT gas grill into a griddle with a rust-resistant grill insert or rotisserie (sold separately) and expand menu options. Upgraded models include one of the WEBER CRAFTED ®OUTDOOR KITCHEN COLLECTION frame kits that are compatible with custom-fit grillware (also sold separately) such as a pizza stone, sear grate, wok, Dutch oven, and more.

Available in two-, three-, and four-burner models, the SPIRIT line ranges from US$399 to US$799, offering options for every grilling enthusiast; a 10-year limited warranty backs each model. New SPIRIT gas grills are available across the Americas at select retailers and on weber.com. Model availability and pricing may vary by geography and retailer.

WEBER SMOQUEWood Pellet Smoker: A Low-and-Slow Workhorse for Smoky Perfection

Building on the success of the SEARWOOD ®wood pellet grill in 2024, the Company introduces the WEBER SMOQUE wood pellet smoker, designed for grilling enthusiasts who crave low-and-slow cooking at an accessible price point. Combining precision engineering, versatile cooking options, and hassle-free cleaning, the WEBER SMOQUE smoker is perfect for anyone ready to explore rich, smoky flavors unique to this style of outdoor cooking.

Engineered specifically to excel in the 180°F to 275°F / 82°C to 135°C degree temperature range, the WEBER SMOQUE wood pellet smoker delivers exceptional performance for low-and-slow cooking. With a maximum temperature of 500°F / 260°C, it also offers outdoor cooks the versatility to roast and bake, opening new culinary avenues for them to explore.

At the core of this novel smoker experience is a proprietary cook engine, purpose-built for consistent, low-and- slow cooking. Its innovative SMOQUEVENT™system, which sits between the burn pot and the cooking grates, circulates smoke and air evenly around food and throughout a cast aluminum cookbox, ensuring perfectly smoked meats, fish, vegetables, and more.

Similar to the SEARWOOD pellet grill, the WEBER SMOQUE smoker is equipped with a RAPIDREACT™ PID Controller, which works as the grill’s activity hub. This intelligent system continuously monitors key components to maintain consistent heat and adjusts automatically for optimal performance.

Additional benefits of the WEBER SMOQUE wood pellet smoker experience include:

Unique front-folding, side, and bottom shelves, also sold separately, provide extra prep space or storage, further optimizing grilling setup.

This new line includes two models: the 22" for US$699.00 and the 34" XL for US$899.00; both models are supported by a five-year limited warranty. WEBER SMOQUE smokers will be available this year from select retailers and on weber.com. Model availability and pricing may vary by geography and retailer.

SLATE Rust-Resistant Griddles: More Sizes For More People, Spaces, Places

The award-winning SLATE griddle, introduced in 2024 as the industry's first rust-resistant griddle with consistent, even heat, provides cooks with another size option in 2025. The new, smaller 28” stand-up SLATE griddle offers the signature Weber griddle cooking experience at a more accessible price point, joining a family of rust-resistant griddles that includes the 30” and 36” stand-up SLATE griddles and the 22” and 17” SLATE tabletop griddles.

SLATE griddles are ready to use right out of the box, with no pre-seasoning required, and remain ready to use over time and usage. In addition, these griddles offer fast, high heat, capable of reaching temperatures over 500°F / 260°C in as little as 10 minutes. The SLATE griddle’s rapid and precise temperature accuracy is possible through a redesigned, patent-pending valve and burner system that improves heat consistency across the cooktop.

The new 28” SLATE griddle comes with a rail for snap-on WEBER WORKS tools and accessories, a hinged cover, wind guards, and a high-capacity, removable grease tray. It will be available across the Americas in early 2025 at select retail stores and on weber.com for US$549.00. A five-year limited warranty supports each SLATE griddle. Availability and pricing of the new 28” SLATE griddle will vary by retailer and geography.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City Council employee detained in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is an asylum-seeker from Venezuela, according to a court petition seeking his release.

Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez was arrested Monday at a scheduled immigration check-in, enraging city leaders and drawing protesters Tuesday to the Manhattan federal building where he is being held.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Rubio Bohorquez had long overstayed a tourist visa, had once been arrested for assault and “had no legal right to be in the United States.”

City Council Speaker Julie Menin disputed that, telling reporters that Rubio Bohorquez, a data analyst for the city legislative body, was legally authorized to work in the U.S. until October.

Menin, a Democrat, said the council employee signed a document as part of his employment confirming that he had never been arrested and cleared the standard background check conducted for all applicants.

The court petition, reviewed Tuesday by The Associated Press, said Rubio Bohorquez — identified in the document as R.A.R.B. — had always been seeking asylum and was arrested at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum office in Bethpage, on Long Island.

Menin called it a regular check-in that “quickly went awry.”

The document, known as a petition for writ of habeas corpus, said Rubio Bohorquez has no criminal record — no arrests, charges or convictions. A hearing on the petition is scheduled for Friday.

ICE confirmed Rubio Bohorquez’s name. Menin said she wanted to protect his identity and referred to him only as a council employee.

“We are doing everything we can to secure his immediate release,” Menin told reporters Monday. She decried the arrest as “egregious government overreach.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat, said he was “outraged” by what he called “an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul referenced Rubio Bohorquez’s arrest in her state of the state speech on Tuesday, asking: “Is this person really one of the baddest of the bad? Is this person really a threat?”

“I will do whatever it takes to protect New Yorkers from criminals, but people of all political beliefs are saying the same thing about what we’ve seen lately: Enough is enough,” said Hochul, a Democrat.

Menin said officials were attempting to reach Rubio Bohorquez’s family and obtain contact information for his immigration lawyer.

The nonprofit New York Legal Assistance Group filed the habeas petition on Rubio Bohorquez’s behalf. The organization’s president and CEO, Lisa Rivera, said it represents dozens of people who have been wrongfully detained by ICE and hundreds who are following immigration procedures in hopes of staying in the U.S.

“This staffer, who chose to work for the city and contribute his expertise to the community, did everything right by appearing at a scheduled interview, and yet ICE unlawfully detained him,” Rivera said in a statement.

According to ICE, Rubio Bohorquez entered the U.S. in 2017 on a B2 tourist visa and was required to leave the country by Oct. 22, 2017. He has been employed by the City Council for about a year, Menin said. His position pays about $129,315 per year, according to city payroll data.

“He had no work authorization,” ICE said in a statement confirming Rubio Bohorquez’s arrest. The agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, said that under Secretary Kristi Noem “criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States. If you come to our country illegally and break our law, we will find you and we will arrest you.”

Several dozen people protested Tuesday outside the Greater New York Federal Building, where Rubio Bohorquez was being held. Some carried signs that said “Abolish ICE” and “No Human Is Illegal.”'

Venezuela, whose former President Nicolás Maduro was seized Jan. 3 by U.S. forces, has been roiled for years by violence and economic instability. Nearly 8 million people have fled the South American nation since 2014, according to the United Nations refugee agency.

Last year, President Donald Trump's administration ended Temporary Protected Status that had been allowing hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan refugees to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. It wasn't clear from court papers whether Rubio Bohorquez had been a part of that program.

Disputes over an immigrant’s work authorization have arisen before, in part because many employers rely on E-Verify. The system compares information provided by employees with records available to the government but doesn’t automatically notify an employer if an employee’s right to work is later revoked.
