Thanks for sharing. I have a Weber SmokeFire EX6, and have been very fortunate with it, but still very curious about the upgraded Searwood. A couple of things I have learned over the past 3 years with how Weber does it differently. Since you can go down to 180 degrees and all the way up to 600 degrees is now one pellet might not be the best for all temperature ranges. I grill more than I smoke on the Weber. Maybe 5 to 1. I have found when grilling (350 to 600 degrees) I use Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets. They burn longer than any wood pellet, extremely moisture resistant (great for your area), can get easily (Walmart, etc), and are priced good. For smoking I have found by far Smokin Pecan SHELL Pellets are the best. Not even close. They also burn a little longer than wood pellets, have a lot more lignin in them than wood pellets therefore produce way more smoke, and has a milder flavor. I do get a little lazy and when dumping the pellets have blended the two together and found the combination to be great for hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, etc. Looking forward to more of your future videos
Ooh thanks for the tips! I’ve tried about a dozen different pellets so far. Yet to find one that does it all but I have found the best one for bark and one for smoke flavor, might try mixing the two… I don’t grill much (always smoke then sear) but good to know for those who want to use it that way!
Got this grill about 2 weeks ago, love it so far. Cover-wise I got cover for the SmokeFire off Amazon for like $40. It was 60% off since Weber has transitioned to the Searwood. Fits perfectly. This is a great machine.
Appreciate you keeping up with us! We have all been crazy busy, trying to get back to regular posting though! Have an old one that never got edited posting this week😁
I have an XL 600 and I’m not entirely impressed. There’s not enough smoke flavor and charring things isn’t easy. It has its merits but charcoal flavor is tough to beat.
What pellets are you using? I watched several comparisons that gave the best ratings to the Searwood for smoke flavor/intensity. So far my experience is it has the best smoke flavor since it doesn't let the smoke escape out a stack, that said pellets do matter. I just smoked an offset quality brisket on it this weekend. I did have to 'cheat' a little but I'll explain that in the brisket video I'm putting together.
@ColoradoBBQBoys I've used the Weber branded pellets and Bear Mountain (or a similar name). I'll keep working with it. It's definitely nice on weekdays after work since turning it on is easier than lighting charcoal.
Haha I can't say any of the 3 of us are overly liberal. I'd say we range from fairly conservative to moderate. We like our BBQ though and that's really what matters here on the channel no matter who the president is.

Ooh awesome tip! What’s been your favorite cook on it so far? Also any content you’d like to see around it?
Love the background landscape. Reminds me of home ❤
Thanks! Always love having the mountains in our backyard. 🤓
Thanks for the review, have you seared anything on it yet and how did I do
I’ve seared steaks on it. Works like a charm! Love the stainless steel grates makes searing and the clean up afterwards a breeze!
Well done. Where have you guys been? Looking forward to more content. Keep up the good work.

Hard to spend money on anything weber, their quality has went to total SHIT. Even the gas grills have become totally junk.
The Weber Smokey Mountian line is legit.
@@ignatiusl.7478 and even they aren't as good as the old ones
I sure hope you didn't vote for Kamala Harris because there are a lot of liberal hippies in Colorado
