Another Canadian here. Just subscribed. Great video and channel - you can tell you guys have been friends for a while. I just bought a Searwood (not the XL) - long time Big Green Egg user. Haven't even done my first cook on it - raining today so starting tomorrow. I bought a DiamondKing 4"x4" smoker box and plan to put a couple briquettes on the bottom and wood chunks on top to get some extra smoke flavour. But going to do a few cooks with just pellets first.
You can absolutely get charcoal flavor on your Weber Searwood… Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets. Plus you can blend them with hickory/other wood pellets. I use them on my Weber SmokeFire for hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, etc
Looking forward to your review video of the Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets. A couple of notes: they seem to burn hotter, produce smoke at higher temperatures than wood pellets, and they are resistant to moisture (can leave in hopper without fear of swelling like wood pellets). My go to pellets are Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets (best for smoking low & slow), Knotty Wood Almond Pellets, and Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets.
@@SchoolHardKnocks Sounds good. What's always confused me about the "burn hotter" thing is that it shouldn't apply to a pellet grill, because the pellet grill would adjust how many pellets it's dropping into the fire box based on the temp inside the pit. Is the point just that it will use less of the charcoal pellets than it would standard wood pellets?
People saying the royal oak charcoal pellets give the same flavor as real charcoal are the same people that say their pellet grill gives as much smoke flavor as an offset does.
Apparently they make charcoal pellets I believe sambos place TH-cam channel uses them. You could also use a smoke box to try and get more smoke flavor.
We take the meat that comes off two types of cookers, taste it, and use the results to try different techniques for adding more smoke flavor on the pellet grill.
Check out Cameron’s professional flip smoke box. Learned from Mad Backyard, you load a few coals in it and can load wood chunks in it and reload as needed
I take that recommendation back. My own R&D has shows that the 6x6 diamond king smoke box is the superior item. I lit 3 briquettes until ashed over and added tons of chunks twice, for a total of 4 hours to some ribs I was doing. MAN. Perfection.😊
I got a basket and did wings. The rub all came off and stuck to the mesh of the basket and became cement like in consistency as the grease from the chicken wings baked it on. I soaked it in a tub of soapy water overnight and then used my high pressure setting on my hose nozzle. Still couldn't get it all off. Will probably retire the basket for everything except vegetables. If the rub hadn't come off I'd probably be willing to forgive and forget. What a mess.
That’s exactly why Bob said in the video not to season prior to the cook. I guess he was right. I put my baskets in the dishwasher on the highest setting and they come out clean as a whistle. Can you try that?

@@old_papa very nice. Cheers. Thank you
@@old_papahaha yes we have! That’s awesome, we plan to try a smoker box as well to try to get that charcoal smoke flavor. Thanks for subbing!

I’m skeptical but we are going to try it and do a video. I hope you’re right!

Please try this.
Wonder if they sell over in Europe

@@danma6197 Will do. Maybe you can get them on amazon.
15:25 Use a smoke tube in the searwood for extra smoke
Yes, we intend to do a smoke box soon.

Right. We know it doesn't, but we gotta try to maximize what we can while keeping the convenience of the pellet smoker!
I’ve been looking for those baskets for my searwood but the only Weber baskets I find doesn’t show as compatible..
The one we’ve been using is right here: amzn.to/4eGRZuv
WOW! They all look delicious. My one concern is that you spent a fortune on the Kamado, didn't you have enough money for store bought starters? LOL
Haha good question. Always gotta save where possible!

We tested out the charcoal pellets last night as a matter of fact. Video coming out soon!
Cool watch it when it does
How can you compare two different types of cookers?

Where did you find the rotisserie baskets for the Searwood?
Here you go for the basket - amzn.to/4eGRZuv
I assume you already have the rotisserie itself
Awesome wing cook. How do you go about cleaning these rotisserie type containers? Subbed
I put mine in the dishwasher which has a steam and high heat setting. Comes out almost brand new. Thanks for subbing!
Royal Oak charcoal pellets for your Weber
Plan to try it and do a video on it, but I have my doubts about whether it will produce the same level of charcoal flavor. What say you?
Idk, will be interesting to see
Great video guys.
Thanks, cheers! 🍻
Good stuff gents! Those wings look 😋
They were! Especially tossed, in my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestion. Going to check it out!

@@TBH-Grillin i would be scared to try, it was so much crud. But if yours worked ok, maybe i will try!
Make sure to empty the trap at the bottom of the dishwasher when you are done!
Take a shot every time you hear money
Haha, there’s a recipe for alcohol poisoning
