Weber Searwood XL 600 Pellet Grill w/ Cover, Front Table & Rotisserie

OMG the Searwood XL 600 is amazing. The Weber team "hit it out of the park" with his grill. I am a barbecue connoisseur with multiple competition-level smokers in my backyard, and I never thought I would buy a pellet smoker. I actually get excited thinking about using my Searwood. Hats off to Weber, this was a KO punch to your competition!

I have enjoyed cooking with this smoker. I'm having trouble with one of the fastener that holds the steel handle, it backed out and I can't get it to thread correctly.

Easy to put together, love the full length sear zone. Easy to connect too phone app, app worked well. Has 2 thermometer probes to insert into food. Graphs temp of grill and probes on app. Nice pellet guage so you don't run out of pellets. Love the easy to clean pull out ash tray. Works very well as a grill. Doesn't work well as a smoker if you've ever used any other smoker. Pellets just don't produce as much smoke as real wood leaving food without much smoke flavor and no real smoke ring on the meat. Weber has amazing customer service that reached out to me to troubleshoot and help me try and get more smoked flavor with the searwood xl600. Bottom line: An amazing grill, quality product. It is just not a replacement for an actual smoker.

The Searwood has performed flawlessly, it works well as a smoker and the nice part is set it to a temperature and it stays at the temperature selected. ribs, pork butts all come out perfect. Being 70 +years old , it is easy to become spoiled by the ease of use.

The Searwood heats up quickly and is easy to clean. I've made pizza, pork buts, Steaks on it thus far. it does not smoke nearly as much as my old Smokefire but it is easier for startup, shut down and the hopper is much improved from the old grill. I am looking forward to using the rotisserie.

Great unit. Works fabulous so far. App is easy to use. Gives a great sear too. If I could add one thing would be a better wheel system to move the unit around.

OK, I bought it into the hype. I've owned many Weber products before and watched all the videos and did all the research before selling my old pellet grill, my Weber gas grill, and my Weber kettle and ordered this smoker, a cover, a shelf, a rotisserie, and a griddle. The griddle was like 250 bucks. The smoker itself seems to be working pretty well. I'm getting some discoloration on the outside lid from the very first burn which I don't like but the manual mode and the griddle are horrible. The reason why I'm giving it three stars is mostly because of the service. The support I have gotten from Weber has been devastatingly lousy I have made four phone calls, two of which were near an hour, and several emails to try and figure out why my griddle won't keep temperature. It took me an hour and 40 minutes to cook 1 pound of bacon and six pancakes. That's ridiculous. The claims that they have about it functioning aren't true unless there's something wrong with my smoker. My smoker gets up to temp and it does everything well except the griddle. It's getting frustrating because it's going on one month since I received it and between the phone calls and all the emails nobody has called me back in the time they asked me to provide to try and figure out what's wrong. I kept the lid shut, cranked it up to 550° and then put it back on manual mode on high with the lid open, which the instructions saying just three or four is perfect for what I'm trying to cook and my temperature drops on the griddle from 475° to 275°. It's been six weeks since I received it five weeks since I first contacted customer service and I still have no solution to it. The people I call on the 800 number say the pellet grill people need to figure it out and I'm not getting any response from them. I bought it from barbecue guys and returning it would be unfeasible. I'm at my wits end with this thing now I need to buy a separate gas griddle and throw this one in the trash or find some sucker that will buy it. It also uses way more pellets than my previous Z Grills smoker. I'm very disappointed in the way Weber has not followed up with us.

Waited a while to finally do my review. I could not be more pleased with my Searwood XL. I have used it a lot and have tried a lot of different things on it. I have had other pellet grills (some costing way more) and this on just works right for me. Definitely agree with others that the controls are much easier to use on the app rather than the screen but other than that I cannot think of anything that I would change. The smoker has run flawlessly for me every time. Seems super efficient with pellets. Like the shutdown procedure. Smoker is easy to clean when needed. Well done Weber.

Best grill for retirement, very low attention needed,....grilling while napping 😀

Does it all! Tried that other pellet smoker first, no dice. Gotta be able to grill burgers and steaks. This does the slow and low as well as the hot and fast and does it all beautifully! Not sure how you could improve it!
