Get Your Colorado BBQ Boys Swag Here!: coloradobbqboy... My pitboss finally kicked the bucket, but it might be the best thing that has ever happened in my BBQ Journey...
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.
Had mine for about 8 months. My only negative is the plug location on the back is facing down and in front of the pellet dump, it also has no “official” place to hang the cord but I’m sure everyone is using the hook for the top rack storage on the back. This is not a deal breaker just the 1 and only thing that annoys me. One thing to mention, I found the pellet use/efficiency on this grill is better than my other pallets smokers!
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😁
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!
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.
The Bear Mountain Bold BBQ are my favorite for flavor, the Knotty Woods Plumond are my favorite for the bark + flavor (I would only use this in the Searwood, they put out a TON of soot to vacuum up which really isn’t an issue with the Searwood.) Maybe try those and let us know. If you really want the flavor without the work I like to add some Redmonds Smoked Salt (favorite smoked salt of the ones I’ve tried). I add about 1 tsp to 1/4 -1/2 of seasoning. Gets much closer to the offset flavor without the work.
Trust me when I was researching which smoker to buy I told myself ‘there’s no way I’m buying a Weber’. The reviews I watched convinced me and it’s been better than the RecTeq or Pitboss. Zero regrets, except that I didn’t buy it sooner.
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?
@@ColoradoBBQBoysI think he covered the SmokeFire which is what I had which was junk, he hasn’t covered this model as far as I know

Well done. Where have you guys been? Looking forward to more content. Keep up the good work.

Love the background landscape. Reminds me of home ❤
Thanks! Always love having the mountains in our backyard. 🤓
You lived on a freeway?
Camp chef woodwind pro that has the smoke box is the best one I've had so far
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!
@@ColoradoBBQBoysI have had mine for 7 months and love it. FYI - the included grates are coated steel not stainless.

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 have a gas grill. Just got few months ago. It’s been great.
Weber Charcoal Summit is amazing.

I sure hope you didn't vote for Kamala Harris because there are a lot of liberal hippies in Colorado
