NEW Weber Searwood Pellet Grill First Look & Burn Off

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Get it here 👉 weberinc.sjv.io/0ZaQAN

[@markgermann9324]

I noticed the lid down as well. Interesting to see that it is meant to be that way. I thought it was a great video and hope I get to see the rest of the reviews on this unit. Cheers from New Zealand.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Thanks Mark!! Ya a lot of the newer pits like the Traeger and this new Weber says to keep the lid closed. I have both the new Traeger's and they start up just fine so I decided to roll the dice on the Weber too. I think I am going to do a simple no wrap rib cook and see how it performs, on the Stealth I noticed the BBQ seemed a tad drier. The Searwood also has a lot of air flow in that chamber so this is a good test for me to see if there is a difference!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Always enjoy your content, Jeff! Nice job 👍🏼

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Thanks Mike!!!! I appreciate you coming over and checking it out!!!! Especially when you were here when it was delivered!!! hahaha

[@EverydayBBQ]

@@SmokedBBQSource lol yessir I was! Awesome day, but not cause of the grill lol.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Hahahaha

[@troyv8302]

I love my EX6 but I am also really interested in the Searwood. Looking forward to your cooks on this and thoughts. Nice review Ricer!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Heck ya Troy, I honestly think this was the pellet grill they should have made first!! Even if I really like the Stealth edition! I plan to cook on it real soon!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Mr.Bookla]

Great video Ricer!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Thanks Burke!!!! Hope that hammy heals up for you real soon, brother!!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good review Jeff and the Searwood looks promising! The boys are looking like men now!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Thanks Rus!!! They certainly have grown up in the past 5 years of me doing KZbin!!! Fun to go back and watch them when I first started!!! I think I am going to mic them up more often because a lot of cocky comments have been missed!!!! hahaha I appreciate you watching brother!!

[@Mikey_556]

Good look at it..thanks for sharing, grabbed a recteq flagship recently, retired my 20 year old webber

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Awesome, RecTeq makes a solid pellet grill too!! Thanks for watching.

[@iBMcFly]

Man this is a unit, I can’t wait to use it!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Heck ya, next video is a rib cook! Thanks for watching!!

[@reddog907]

On the higher temp it looks like it puts out a good bit of smoke , look forward to videos on future cooks on this smoker.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Yes it does and I am excited to get cooking on it!! Thanks for watching!!

[@RickySilvaMusic]

I like the fact that when you’re in shutdown if you change your mind you can power it back on again and it picks up temperature from there without having to wait for shutdown to finish

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Yep, I think you got 3 minutes to decide!!!??!!! It is a nice feature for sure!! Thanks for watching!

[@eastcoastlife3547]

Definitely subscriber… Great videos!! Have mine coming soon. Question for you if you get it… Can you use this thing outside in the winter and if so, if it’s covered over well, can you leave the pellets in it or should they be drained after every use because of the dampness maybe? Newbie here so your Chanel is giving some valued information 👌 thanks gain for any info you can provide. ))

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Yes you can use it outside in the winter, it might just use more pellets to keep the temps up compared to a 95° day in the summer! As far as the pellets, if you don't plan on using it for a couple days, I still suggest you dump them out so they don't swell up and give you other issues. Enjoy that new Searwood!!! I like mine!!

[@markowen7129]

Looks like a pretty nice little pit, Ricer! But after putting in my time with cookers, the Wife just gave me the "Go Ahead" on a new drum smoker or the LSG 20x42 Pellet. Id really like to try a drum but I'm sure with your past experience which way I'll go!!😁 I appreciate the videos, Brother!!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Ha ha drums are cool but that LSG is a better choice, Mark!! So good move and can’t wait until you get it!!

[@JC-rc7xj]

Thanks for the video! I ordered the XL 600 and the griddle hoping for a do-all grill off Webers site now just waiting.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Awesome!! I am cooking ribs on it tomorrow. Hope to have a video early next week. Thanks for watching and enjoy that new pit!!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

I love the kids Miced making this show more loose, I love it!! That Weber sure looks good. Nice job... Stop Talking, go sit down🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Hahaha ya we had a lot of fun even if we struggled on that shelf!! You will see and HEAR more of them in the future. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!! Ha ha glad you enjoyed the show, Tommy!!

[@unclegeorgesbbq1085]

I may pick one up. Im between the searwood and the ironwood. I have a ex4 for 3 years and I haven’t had any issues with it.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

So far so good on the Searwood. Getting ready to post a rib cook real soon!! They did take a lot longer than I am use to but they turned out decent!! Soon I am going to grill on it and see how that goes!! Thanks for watching!!

[@flexndagunz]

Great video. I have one and also struggled w the set up of the bottom rack. The cooks have been perfect though.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Glad to hear we weren't the only ones!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!!

[@YesItsMario]

I hope Weber finally figured it out with this one, looking forward to the cook and review.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

I think the grease and ash build up and the hopper issue are fixed!! Thanks for watching brother!!

[@davignon3058]

One question please: Does this “Weber Searwood Pellet Grill” replace the Smokefire? Or to put it another way: In addition to grilling, can you smoke with the new Searwood just as well as with the Smokefire?

[@SmokedBBQSource]

I will replace it eventually. It smokes just as much or maybe a tad more than the SmokeFire. Thanks for watching!

[@Esquire5712]

Always wanted to buy a smoker however, if I buy this one, I may need to borrow your boys to set it up, great stream as always.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Hahaha well they work cheap!! Ha ha Thanks for watching James!!!

[@mycabbages3538]

I know nothing about smoking but I’m thinking about getting this and learning.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Heck ya!!! 100% you will amplify your backyard BBQ fun!!! This is a great pit for someone that wants to smoke BBQ and still be able to grill but your food will taste 10 times better!! Thanks for watching!

[@bradleymackbbq]

Just assembled my 600 this evening. That little bag with the yellow paper and extra screws are just that… extra screws (says so right on the yellow paper.) All of the screws with the blue lock-tight on them are used for the legs and shelf. You shouldn’t have had to use the other 6 unmarked screws. Great vid just the same.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

The lock tight bolts didn't fit in 2 holes but the extra bolts worked. I showed you exactly where WE had to use them. We have assembled 100's of pits so this wasn't our first rodeo. So AGAIN this was the only way we could get the cart together. My guess is that most of the mounted tap nuts were burred inside and the lock tight wouldn't go through even with a heavy duty T handle Allen wrench. Glad you had better luck with yours. Thanks for watching!

[@bradleymackbbq]

@@SmokedBBQSource So strange. Glad it all worked out in the end. Looking forward to your reviews of the grill. As I type, I am on hold because Weber doesn’t like the serial number I’ve entered to try and register it. I’m staring right at it, under the hopper lid, and the website says it’s wrong.

[@ryanbell85]

@@SmokedBBQSource Had the exact same problem. Why did they only include 6 screws where there are 8 holes for the shelf?!?! The smaller ones were much better but still not perfect.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Ya, my guess is on the 2nd batch they address this issue.

[@dennisg.7498]

The exploding smoke is the same on all pellet grills. I wonder why they say closed on start up. Maybe it's to add some excitement since they got rid of the flame of death.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Many of the new style pits with the back venting and not a stack say you no longer need to open the lid. I never open my Traeger’s anymore during start up.

[@chiggyvon]

From a grilling perspective I’m curious to know if it can replace a gas grill. Looking forward to the next video!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

I think this pit will be pretty good at grilling! Next video is a rib cook but after that I will be grilling on it! Thanks for watching!

[@Snark218]

My guess is it will work for most needs if you throw some GrillGrates on it.

[@christopheredwards6820]

Just did the initial burn off on my searwood today. Did notice a decent amount of pellet dust inside the chamber after. Is this pretty normal for first burn in?

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Yes there is always going to be some pellet ash in the chamber, I get ash in my offset too. Thanks for watching!

[@adamneilson1888]

Got way more info out of this than Weber’s start up video

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Happy we could help!

[@krandall8334]

I like my smokefire stealth😊 it work great!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

I agree, the Stealth model worked pretty dang good for me too!! Thanks for watching!!

[@gharv1313]

Great review Jeff! Looks like a nice grill. Can’t wait I’ll you drop some cooks on this machine. Hopefully no more fumbles 😂. Your kids do a great job! Cheers brother 🍻

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Hahahaha ya no more fumbles, George!!! hahahah Thanks for watching brother!!!

[@trapshooter2165]

Why is it that all of these grill manufacturers that they cannot include the front shelf in the price. This is so much needed. It's one of the first modifications that is made on a grill/smoker.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Agree!! That is the trend though.

[@mrmudcatslim1004]

I've been watching for a while to help me when I choose my own smoker or grill. I am planning a patio. Anyway, I enjoy the content. And yeah, I know it's not relevant to the video. It's not relevant to any video. But I am NOT feeling the new KZbin alignment of the comments, video, video suggestions. It sucks. Its messy. Its distracting. I wish they would go back. Maybe there is a way to make it go back to the original. I have to look into it.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Glad I have been a help and ya YT always has to mess with things that work!!!! Hardly ever do their updates help the creator or the viewer!!!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

[@cybernode33]

As a previous Qstoves+ user, I recently made the switch to Asmoke and I've been absolutely thrilled with my decision. The first thing that stood out to me was Asmoke's ability to control the temperature within 5°F - it's made my grilling experience incredibly consistent. I also love the versatility of the Asmoke grill. I can grill, smoke, roast, and even bake, all with one appliance. The wood pellet fuel source has also introduced a distinct smoky flavor that has taken my barbecue to new levels. Plus, it's battery-powered and portable, allowing me to take it on camping trips and tailgate parties. I also appreciate the environmentally friendly aspect of using wood pellets. The Asmoke grill has truly transformed my grilling experience and I couldn't be happier. #Asmoke

[@SasuCB]

If you had to choose between this and a Traeger Ironwood, honestly which would you get?

[@SmokedBBQSource]

This all depends on what you do more, smoking BBQ I would go with the Ironwood, if you do more grilling then I would pick the Searwood. I have more video testing out the Searwood coming! Thanks for watching!

[@bdobrzensky]

Ordered my XL yesterday. First thing, remove finger guard :)

[@SmokedBBQSource]

😂 I want to know if anyone in the history of pellet smokers has ever lost a finger

[@cybernode33]

I've been a loyal Qstoves+ user for years but after switching to Asmoke, I realized what I was missing out on. The precision and control offered by Asmoke are simply unparalleled. The digital controller allows me to maintain my desired cooking temperature with ease and the wood pellets add a unique flavor that I've never experienced before. The ASCA™ technology ensures better cooking results and makes cleaning a breeze. Plus, the portability and battery-powered feature have completely changed how I do my outings. I can enjoy grilling in my backyard, camping, or even on road trips without worrying about finding a power source. The Asmoke Essential has truly revolutionized my grilling experience. #Asmoke

[@PeterH-f5h]

Seems like weber is high heat grill focused. Wonder how this thing smokes.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Working on a smoked ribs video right now so stay tuned!

[@Gapines23]

Having had a few with casters, that’s the dumbest option. Weber I’m on my third set cause the bolt is bent over, wagon wheels don’t fail

[@SmokedBBQSource]

They work great on my concrete, so I always want pits with 4 rotating and locking casters! Thanks for watching!

[@willbroad1]

Salut !! Peux-tu me dire si je dois choisir entre searwood et le ironwood Xl quelle serait le meilleur pour plusieurs années??

[@SmokedBBQSource]

That is a great question!! The Ironwood is better at BBQ and the Searwood is better at grilling. So you have to decide what type of cooking you will do more of? The Weber is cheaper but the build quality is slightly less than the Traeger Ironwood too. Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching!!

[@ErrickDHulk89]

[@garryhammond3117]

Interesting to see that Weber has redesigned and rebranded the old "Catch on fire" - I mean SmokeFire. - lol - It looks very positive at first impression. It actually takes three to assemble - one boss man and two strapping young lads. - Good job! - I'm sure they will work out the assembly kinks - you probably got an early model or a prototype. Looking forward to your "biscuit test" Jeff (still just one? - lol) - Cheers!

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Heck ya Garry, so far this pit is doing pretty good. I think it is still kind of designed to be a grill first but I got to run a few more cooks on it!!! I plan to do a bread test on it to see the hot zones!!! Like always, I appreciate you watching!!!!!!!

[@atrain007beastable]

This or a Traeger Ironwood 650?

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Too early for me to answer this question honestly. But if you want to make more bbq go Traeger and if you want to grill more go Weber. I will start cooking on it and have a better idea in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching!!

I’ll never by another Weber. The first pellet grill they made was trash and I’ll never trust them again. F Weber.

[@K-Del0211]

@@B_L_Smith actually no I haven’t. I bought a tv once and it had a bad spot in it and I was able to exchange it. Like I said. I won’t spend my money on Weber anymore. I paid a premium price for that grill and it lasted 2 years. If they made improvements, good for them. Anything would have been an improvement, however I won’t risk another $1200 for the new version. Fool me one shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me.

[@webcrawler3332]

Man Weber uses the cheapest metals and the design is the worst. Why did they get rid of their pellet auger system that dropped the pellets high above the burn pot? That burn pot will rust out in no time. For the cost that thing should be built like a LoneStar

[@PerthLuxury]

Sorry to whinge but this is a North American exclusive, which is not good enough. Weber need to stop discriminating against those of us not using the smoker as a yank. As an Aussie, I'm going to be starting petitions, writing complaint letters, starting sub reddits, until they release the searwood down under. I'm not going to be buying a second rate smokefire as they're garbage and overpriced.

[@toroscosmicos9889]

Overpriced and under featured for $$ coming from the same company that failed miserably at their first attempt to produce a pellet grill. There are dozens of pellet grills out there that are better quality, more features and much less expensive. ZGrills, Oakford, Pit Boss, Member's Mark, Oklahoma Joe..

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Ya I wish it had a tad more features but one thing the chamber itself on this Weber is twice as good as the ones you mentioned. The big thing I see with the Searwood is the grilling capability. I had the Stealth Edition and I like that version of the SmokeFire. Thanks for watching!
