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

I have historically not been a fan of pellet grills. But, this thing is fantastic. It does an incredible job of producing tender, juicy meat. It still lacks the wood smoke flavor of a traditional offset smoker, but that's to be expected. For a pellet grill, I am well pleased!

I've used for grilling and smoking it lives up to it's reputation. Ready to grill in minutes and smoking has never been easier. I smoked 3 shoulders and 2 Briskets simultaneously. Connect to your phone, adjust as necessary, it's a beautiful thing. No hot spots, even Steven. My first Weber and I am very impressed.

I love this smoker so much I bought a second one for my second residence.

Great product. Love the versatility. Have had three cooks. Brisket, pulled pork and whole chickens and they all came out amazing. Also cooked burgers and steak with manual mode and also worked flawlessly.

I have mixed feelings about my smoker. I absolutely love what it can do, the flavor, the versatility, everything. I've always been a huge fan of Weber, and that's why I chose this smoker in the first place. But sadly, the customer service experience has been disappointing. I've had the smoker for two months now, and I've been dealing with the same issue for one. My case keeps getting passed from one rep to another, no one responds to my emails, and there's been zero follow-up. They even sent me a completely unnecessary part instead of addressing the actual problem. I expected better from Weber.

I wish I could have given this 4.5 stars because my criticism of the Searwood XL is pretty picky. In general, after 6 cooks, this is what I had hoped for. I was ready to buy a competitor but after watching a head-to-head match up with the Searwood XL over three episodes on YouTube, I changed my mind and bought the Weber Searwood XL. Here are the PROS: My food tastes great; love the app and wifi connectivity; this thing gets VERY hot making it very versatile for all types of cooking; it feels very sturdy, no cheap construction; the optional rotisserie; it's fantastic at holding the set temperature, even in windy conditions; I love having two cooking/smoking racks and it came with two probes; it gets to temperature very quickly; CONS: because it's of sturdy construction it's very heavy, Weber needs to put 4 rotating wheels on the frame; even at 600 degrees I don't get a sear like I would with charcoal, but I do get sear marks; CONCLUSION: BUY IT.

The Searwood XL is a true game changer. It's very easy to use. So much so that my first cook was a brisket, it came out perfect, and it was so easy to do.

Overall amazing! I will say that the control console is a little difficult to navigate through all the options. It would also be nice to turn on just part of the grill if you only have a few burgers to cook. I know that could be difficult with a pellet grill. It is what it is. For the price, it should have come with more accessories like a side tray and a second temperature probe. I like that it preheats up to 600 in less than 15 minutes or can go low and slow all day. Again, overall very happy with this grill.

Love the grill so far. Should come from Weber with either a side shelf or a front shelf. Lockable casters on the two (non-wheeled) legs would also make moving this grill around much easier.

Great reliable all rounder, great for low and slow cooks and grilling hot and fast. Very pleased with my purchase.
