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.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Harrison Smith's 14th year as a steadying presence and energizing force in the secondary for the Minnesota Vikings has hardly been smooth.

The undisclosed health-related matter that sidelined him during training camp was a major setback to his conditioning, putting him in catch-up mode for most of the first half of the season. The Vikings defense was more vulnerable than usual over those early games, too.

Then with the offense struggling through the developmental process with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings stumbled through November to drop to 4-8 and precipitate their elimination from playoff contention.

But lately?

“I’ve been playing football a long time,” Smith said after Minnesota's victory over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day, “and I have not had fun like that in my whole career.”

Smith received the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award for that performance in his 206th regular-season game, after logging three passes defensed, two tackles for loss, one sack and one interception. He last won that award in 2018.

With career totals of 21½ sacks and 39 interceptions, Smith is just the second player in NFL history to hit those marks, behind Pro Football Hall of Fame member Ronde Barber, who had 28 sacks and 47 interceptions. Smith is also one of four players all time, with Barber, Brian Dawkins and Charles Woodson, to total at least 50 tackles for loss, 100 passes defensed and 200 regular-season games played. Smith (202) also trails only Jim Marshall (270) and Mick Tingelhoff (240) on the team’s all-time list for career starts.

Following the interception against the Lions, Smith was feted on the sideline in a circle of his teammates. He was the recipient of multiple ovations from the U.S. Bank Stadium crowd. Afterward, as Smith tried to sum up what that experience meant to him, his voice cracked several times before he had to pause to compose himself.

“The fans here have never experienced a Super Bowl. They always show up, and for them to keep showing up ... it just shows how much they love the team, how much they love everything that goes into it," Smith said. “We’re out of the playoffs, and everybody shows up in white. They do their part, and one of these days they’ll get it.”

The scene sure felt like a farewell. But so did Smith's emotional postgame remarks after the Vikings were ousted from the playoffs last season.

Could he envision himself returning for a 15th year?

“I can’t speak on that right now. I’m a very much in-the-moment type of guy,” Smith said.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, who has forged a close relationship with the six-time Pro Bowl safety, has made no secret of his desire to keep Smith in place.

Defensive coordinator Brian Flores has turned over some of the play-calling and decision-making to Smith on the field before and after the snap, and an increased emphasis on blitzing in recent weeks has paid plenty of dividends.

"He has an unbelievable feel of the system. He has an unbelievable feel of what ‘Flo’ and the defensive staff really want to do, and he’s out there playing a game within the game,” O’Connell said. “It’s been spectacular to watch. It’s been awesome from my perspective to watch what he’s able to do at this point in his career mentally, and then physically he’s making a lot of plays as well.”

The uncertainty about next season for the defense stretches beyond Smith, with other expensive veterans facing the possibility of being released for cost savings with the Vikings projected to be well over the salary cap approaching the 2026 league year.

Then there's Flores, whose contract will soon expire, making him a free agent. Though his landmark discrimination lawsuit against the NFL that’s still in the court system nearly four years later continues to loom over any interviews he gets for head coach openings, there's also an opening for another club to try to lure him away with a break-the-bank offer for a lateral move.

O'Connell said this week that he doesn't anticipate such a scenario playing out and hopes to have him as long as he can before he's hired again as a head coach.

“I love Minnesota. I love this team. I love working for and with K.O.," said Flores, who was head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2019-21 and joined the Vikings in 2023. "This place has shown me a lot of love, and I show them right back, and so I don’t know how much more there is to it. From a football standpoint, it fits. There’s always a, let’s call it, business part of this. But the football all lines up. We’ll just see where it all goes.”
