Thanks for the review! How was the smoke flavor? I’ve seen a few videos where people mention they want more smoke flavor from their pellet smoker. I currently only smoke using a Weber Kettle so I don’t think I’d have much to compare it to.
@@daveshouseofbbq yeah, I’m still cooking I’m An executive chef now in Kent. Glad to hear from you! I’ve recently got into bbqing thinking about buying this pellet smoker and just so happen to find your review. Well done! Would you recommend this over a traditional charcoal Weber grill?
To be honest the Weber charcoal kettle is possibly the most versatile cooker out there. You can do everything on it. But it takes practice and know-how. The Searwood, or any pellet smoker for that matter, is great for when you want to cook a lot of food and not have to think about it.
I like Weber but I had heard that the previous generation pellet grill wasn’t very good. Thanks for doing the review. I have a Traeger Ironwwod 850 but I’m looking to buy another grill for our vacation home. I am very happy with my Traeger but I’m thinking this Weber could be even better. Am I correct?
Great work..... going to purchase a new grill/smoker and overwhelmed with the possibilities. I really think the Searwood comes closest to achieving all my wants. Thanks for the review!
quick question, I was thinking of getting the $2500 camp chef apex (propane grill and smoker in one) I didn't have the funds at the time and I'm glad I didn't as it looks like they discontinued it and the reviews on it were pretty poor. I was now looking at other options and came across this grill. The price point is great too! My main questions is: When you have the continuous feed mode on for grilling burgers and such, how much actual smoke is produced? Do you actually tase a smokey flavor to your burgers? I honestly don't want much of a smokey flavor on the high sear/grill mode. Can you still set your smoke level to 1 with a high temp setting? Thanks!
Whenever I use the manual mode for grilling like that, I’ve just set it to 10 and let it be as hot as it can. The smoke level at 10 is not very strong. I would imagine that the lower levels like setting one, you’d get much more smoke.
No dealers anywhere near me (south central NC) have one in stock. The Weber support person was NO HELP AT ALL. I simply wanta' see one, touch one....before shelling out $$$$. Oh well. So sorry Waber!
As always, a great video. Thorough and fair review. I remember the smoke fire and all the publicity Weber threw at it. Maybe I’m missing it, but they seem to be rolling this one out a little more carefully. Will be curious to hear how your experience is with this over time.
I love my Webers. Great engineering and quality. Looks like I can get rid of my gas grill and pellet smoker and and just use this Searwood, saving space on the deck.
Nice video , I guess I am one of the lucky ones who does not have a problem with the Smokefire EX6 Stealth edition 2nd. Nock on wood. Now I just got the Searwood EX6 also Great grill.
I'll wait a couple of years to see if this is a quality grill. In the meantime, I'll keep using my 23 year old stainless steel Weber grill that still works perfectly.
Be inters resting to see when you cook some more food on it I’m a big Weber fan and was bummed that their smoke fire was grease fire problems, I like the way the smoke fire looked more then this new one but if they fixed the problems I know Weber makes a great product and their customer service is top notch I’ve dealt with them and their awesome.
I have a story about their customer service that is unbelievably great. I’m going to share it in a video eventually. I plan on doing some 2 inch thick steaks in it soon.
That’s a mistake. I have 3 other webers and they are indestructible. This new pellet grill is awesome so far. Hopefully they learned from there mistakes
@@gosman949 I am having a blast with it! Easing into it, started with simple things like chicken thighs, ribeye, asparagus, everything has turned out great, it’s been fun!! Nervous about trying ribs but I’m going to give it a go this weekend 🤞🏼
Also I’ve heard that webers pellets arnt that great for producing smoke flavor. There are better options please some other options cause I’ve heard bad things about Weber pellets.
