Use manual mode for lid open grilling. You can set it as high as 10 and will get a continuous pellet feed to maintain temp.
I have this pit and can confirm. Manual mode for open top grilling and using the griddle
Came here to say this.
That’s what i was going to tell him too manual mode
Came to say the same and prime the pot with a handful of pellets when cleaning it out to get your next cook going faster.
Ya, I do now. Like I said, I didn't read the manual!!!! The direct drive is a great feature!
If you want better sear marks replace your existing grates with the porcelain coated cast iron grates for EX4 Smokefire. Its almost an exact fit with half inch width gap. Weber suggested this when I emailed them online. It definitely improved the sear marks.
I can confirm, works amazing - at 600 this thing gets so F'n hot!
You really went all out to test this grill, amazing job! Also, the production continues to be top notch, great content Jeff!
Thanks Mario!! I really like this pit and I will say I am now a Weber pellet grill fan!! Thanks for watching and the great comment!! I hope you are doing good and enjoying your summer!!
Fantastic job Jeff, Definitely does some nice searing and the rotisserie gives you more options also!. Well explained and always entertaining. Thanks for all you do to guide us along! Cheers and have a fantastic weekend brother ! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for watching George!!!!
Looks like Weber really worked out all of the bugs that haunted them with the Smokefire. Great demo on that cookers capabilities, Jeff! I'll take one Test Dummy, medium rare and two burgers. Cheers!
Hahaha I hope one of these days we can actually hang out, Greg!!! This is the pit Weber should have made the first time!! I have 8 cooks on it now and still haven't cleaned it out yet! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!
@@SmokedBBQSource you may find that the grease is staying in the pit instead of draining properly.
@BallisticBBQ The only negative that I have heard comparing the Smokefire to the Searwood is that the Smokefire created better smoke.
Everything looks delicious 😋 great job dude 👍😎
Thanks and I appreciate you watching!!
Well done videos!! Your candor, tone and flow makes it interesting to watch! The manual mode set on 10 is your friend for grilling. Constant pellet feed and fan. Give it a try.
Hahahah yep, after I read the manual I realized it had a direct drive feature!! hahaha Thanks for watching!!!!
thank you
Wow, I know what will be replacing my SmokeFire when the time comes. I was skeptical about this pit but after seeing it in action here and in the FB groups, it looks like Weber nailed it. Your garage looked smoked out too. Nice review and thanks for doing it Jeff!
First sorry for the crazy late reply but 100% I am happy with this pit!!! So many things you can do with it and priced right!!! Hope you had a great 4th, Troy!!!
@@SmokedBBQSource No worries on the reply. Right now I'm on my 4th season with the EX6 and that thing just keeps running strong. By the time I'm needing another, any and all bugs should be worked out of the Searwood. Although a LSG is also something on my mind too. Hope you still have all your digits after the 4th...LOL
Ricer! Just started follow you, big grill guys here! You are a trip and your boys are awesome! Hope family is well! Enjoy your summer!
Heck ya!!! Glad you enjoy my videos!!! Ya my 2 clowns are good kids, even if I want to trade them in for a new pair of socks once in a while!!! hahahaha Thanks for watching!!
I’m down to get my SearWood Steaks on !!! Man it looks to get pretty smokey in there 💨. Great video champ
Heck ya, Rich!!!! I love this pellet grill!!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. Steaks, chops, burgers and a rotisserie bok-bok 😂. All in one video too!😱🤯 You went the distance with this one! Looks like the Searwood can competently grill. When I bought a woodwind pro last year I knew I would be buying something else for grilling in the future. Until the Searwood came out I was planning to get a propane grill, advantage Searwood. Thanks!
Heck ya!!! I al really impressed with the new Searwood! The complete review will come out soon and on that video i used the rotisserie and the flat top griddle!! This pit is truly a jack of all trades!!! Thanks for watching!
Not a bad little machine. Looks like Weber may have finally got it right!! Nice testing my brother!
Heck ya Tommy!! This is the pit they should have made in the first place!!! hahaha
Sure like those sea marks, and the perfect color on the bird, that Weber Starwood made a believer out of me...Great review Ricer!
Heck ya, Don!! I have been pretty impressed so far with this pit!! Thanks for watching!!
More than satisfactory sear marks. I think I would enjoy this grill.
It certainly is doing a great job!! I am pretty impressed so far! This is the pit they should have made from the start!!
That's a nice grill Ricer!
Heck ya, brother!!
I was trying to figure out what size searwood I needed to replace my smokefire EX6. Seeing the amount of food that will fit on the 600 makes it an easy decision. Great video.
the 600 is too small. He would have more control with the larger one.
I agree, if you are coming from the EX6 you would want to get XL Searwood.
GOOD LOOKING COOKS JEFF
Thanks Rod!!
You’re using the searing option wrong. You need to be in manual mode 10.
Hahahah ya I know, I figured it out after I read the manual!!! hahahahaha Thanks for watching!
Perfect for a Tuesday LOL!
Hahahahah yep they were!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jeff. - I've been using the 2-2-2-2 (rest for 5) method with Costco rib steaks for years now on my gas grill. - It has been flawless.
You're a brave man for cooking pork chops on video! - They are so easy to overcook. - lol
Rotisserie chicken is by far my most favorite way to BBQ chicken - they always turn out juicy and delicious! - I have and LOVE every Meater product ever produced.
This new Weber seems to dot all the "I"s and cross all the "T"'s. - Cheers!
Meater sucks. Wifi keeps falling out and the batteries run out before they can charge the probes.
@@gosman949 All I can offer is that if you are having problems with your Meater, you are not using it properly.
After over 5 years, and 100 cooks, I have never had an issue with any of my meaters, other than occasional loss of connection in a metal BBQ or metal oven - repositioning the unit always solves the problem for me.
Heck ya brother!!! The new Meater works pretty dang good!! Thanks for watching!
My new model so far works pretty good! The old one was horrible!!!
@@garryhammond3117 this last cook went better. The problem seems to be charging of the probes. Sitting in the block keeps the probes charged but runs the battery down which eventually runs the probes down. So now, I'm removing the batteries between smokes. But I have to remember to charge the probes back up for 24 hours before smoking and cooking. Oh, my what a pain!
Great video! I have to get that rotisserie. I'm curious why you didn't try the manual mode for the searing and open lid tests? That keeps pellets rolling at constant rate. Level 10 would be equivalent to 600 degrees. Your food looks great regardless. I got a Searwood 600 a few weeks ago and love it. I did pizzas on it and noticed the big temp drops when using the temperature mode. I tried the manual mode for some skirt steak and found it to do a pretty good job maintaining heat.
I got the griddle insert for mine and made Oklahoma onion burgers last night - they turned out phenomenal!
This grill is the truth!
@@j_dun4830 that griddle I'm hearing takes a while to come up to temperature. Much slower than the gas griddles.
@@gosman949 it def does, for me it's a condo space issue - still worked really well though.
Like I said, I never read the manual!! hahaha I do use the direct drive now!!! hahaha
Yes it is slower but not that bad if you do not want 2 different cookers!
Awesomeness! Man im impressed with that chicken!
Called a cpl Aces and no one has one 😢
Should be out now again!?!?! Thanks for watching!
Great video. This is how the review for smoker should be. I learned all I want in one shot. Can you do the same to campchef wood Windpro
I can help with finishing the food 😆
Hahahaha I did a review on the CC Pro over on my Dead Broke BBQ channel! We might do a match up soon over here! Thanks for watching!
Can you keep the grill grates in while using the rotisserie? I would love to have the additional grilling space to cook on while having the rotisserie going.
Yes but it just depends on how big of a chunk of meat you are doing!
I wish you had access to pit the searwood vs recteq as I'm torn which to get next to replace my relic of a jim bowie gmg. Excellent direct flame action!
I am really impressed with the Searwood. When I come out with the complete review I use the griddle and that feature amazed me!!! Thanks for watching!!
I'm right where your at. Either going with searwood or rec tec deck boss
@@mikekaderabek4481 Let me know which you end up with at some point. Might help influence my choice.
@@kevingebert4316 I had the older rec tec 590 for 5 years . Excellent smoker. Probably get another because I already have a performer and griddle for high heat
That Weber Starwood sure sear up some nice meat. Way better then the new master built. Awesome. Job jeff.
Heck ya, Scotty!!
Those steaks were Perfect! Pink on the inside! lol
Hahahah true!!! Thanks for watching brother!
The Searwood looks like a winner. Comparing the Smokefire to the Searwood, the Searwood appears to be a very good improvement, the only exception is that the Smokefire created better smoke.
I disagree on the smoke, the Searwood smokes more than the SmokeFire from testing out both in my studio. My exhaust can barely keep up with the Searwood! Thanks for watching!!
@@SmokedBBQSource It's good to know. I was just comparing tests done by another RUclipsr who determined that the Smokefire produces superior smoke.
With the lid open you have to use the manual mode on setting 10
Hahaha ya after I film ed that, I actually went and read the manual!!! ha ha Thanks for watching!!
Tough job but someone's got to do it
Heck ya brother!!! I am really starting to like this pellet grill! Thanks for watching, Rusty!!
I’m bummed that the grate isn’t even! I want to do a brisket on the 600, and I am bummed id have to rotate the thing in the early morning.
Ya it is the only issue I have seen so far on this grill. Overall I really like this pit!!! Thanks for watching!!
Can you add a water pan below the grates?
be tricky to keep it balanced on that huge flavor bar!! Thanks for watching!!
Searwood or Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24 ??? Which do you recommend????
We will have a comparison coming out in the next few months but for now I would say it depends on your primary goal. Do you want to mostly smoke but do a little grilling? I would get the Woodwind Pro and try and add a sidekick. If you want to use the whole surface to grill, the Searwood is hard to beat. There's also a $300 price jump between the Searwood and Woodwind Pro, something to consider.
I have never had a smoker and have no idea how to use them. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy this one though as soon as the wife caves.
Lots of good reason to own one!!! Hope you get one someday!!
How much pellets to sear those steaks? They must really go through the pellets!
If I had to guess it was 4-5 pounds. It certainly will chew them up on the preheat!! But still pretty impressed how good this little pellet grill is! Thanks for watching, brother!
Nothing like seeing your face at 2AM lol
hahahah not sure if that is a good thing or not?!?! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!!
This is the pellet grill in going to get, I'm just not sure about the size
They have 2 different sizes to pick from!!!! I wish I got the XL!!! I am very happy with this pellet grill!
Must be a buffet there behind the camera???
Hahahah pretty much!! 5 rolling all at once!! Thanks for watching!!
I put my searwood on manual mode #10 with the lid closed just to see how hot it would get it made it to 680°
Heck ya!!! Since this video was made, I have done the same! Works great!!! Thanks for watching!!
I've been using my Flatiron/Smoker combo for years. I can't buy into the "Flavor Of The Month". Stick with what ya know. If you got a fat wallet...go ahead. I believe it's all about technique.
Cool, you do you brother.
Wish you would do a battle between, the Weber Searwood, Lonestar Pellet and Camp Chef woodwind. Love your videos, you need to upload more
Thanks for watching!! The Lone Star wins this battle hands down. Ya I wish I could upload more too!! But I appreciate you watching!!!!
U should do a blind on a long cook and compare the smoke flavor from the Weber to the Lonestar
The LSG still wins. That pit still comes the closest to my offset. Thanks for watching!!
@@SmokedBBQSourceI’ve been strongly considering an LSG. How is the high heat/searing on the LSG in comparison?
Killer vid!
