Almost pulled the trigger on the Smokefire, but held out long enough to see it fail. Now this might be the pellet grill I have been waiting for. Excellent content. Thank you!
Francisco, thanks for checking in! I started this channel just to share. This is a little channel in a sea of big fish, so thanks for watching! More useable content coming soon!
I really like that you’re able to compare and know the difference between the two very helpful. I’ve seen a lot of good reviews on the smoke fire at how good the smoke flavor is, well from what it looks like this searwood may be even better that’s awesome. Going to pull the trigger on it. Not to mention they have amazing customer service in my experience with them. Guess I’ll have matching grill and smoker now.
Congrats! Thanks for the supportive words. Appreciate you. And we wish you the best of luck and experience with it!!! Check back in for any questions and experiences!
If you’re a poultry fan, you owe it to yourself to throw some chicken thighs on the lower rack. Dear lord, they turned out fantastic this evening. I knew you’d love this grill.
Bradley, thanks for checking in!! Glad to hear you have good cooks! I’ma have to try that!!! Might break out some Alabama white sauce as a finish! Bone in? Boneless/skinless? How did you grill them?
My cabbage, thanks for checking in! I’m guessing the cola is an individual taste rub. Looked intriguing. I have a goto formula I make, but variety is sometimes a necessity. The black and tan is “oh my lord”….
David, great question. The smoke signature is nearly identical to the SmokeFire, which pumped volumes of clean blue smoke. We’re doing a brisket soon, so I’ll have some results! Thanks for checking in!
I am fairly new to smoking and this is my first "smoker". That said I can't imagine you would want much more smoke flavor, even roasting a whole chicken at 325. I also hear the Knotty wood brand pellets are processed with the bark, and yield more smokiness, but i've yet to throw them in.
Nicholas, thanks for trying out smoking. You’re really not cooking until you’re smoking. 😉. That said, yes, Knotty Is supposed to have serious pellets. Lumberjack as well, in fact, it’s rumored Lumberjack make pellets for Weber. Webers are much darker than other brands, such as Pit Boss and Traeger. I recently picket up a 30lb bag of Royal Oak CHARCOAL wood pellets and mixed them in with Weber wood. OUTSTANDING flavor. My new go to. Try them out, thanks for checking in!!
IF it can sear a steak like a charcoal grill I'm in! That's what my smokefire failed to do. That's why I sold it and went back to the tried and true Weber kettle.
Dave, I’m only basing this comment on one cook…. Having said that, the manual mode felt more “propane” like than charcoal. Charcoal you can attain a sear with your cook height and air flow. With this pit, it’s similar to a gas grill where you attain sear with heat and location on your grill. I’m still in a complete learning phase, and will likely take a good month of cooks to sort through it all. But for now, I think gas grill owners would translate into this experience with little to no issue.
@@sambosplace I really wanted to buy this after selling my big green egg but 20 lbs for 10 hour cook, isn't the bag like 20-30 dollars? If it costs 20-30 dollars to smoke a pork shoulder I may look into other options unless pellets are cheaper than what I am seeing? Do you know a good place I can order them for a good price?
Jarred, great question. Typically, quality wood pellets are now approx $10 per 10lb. They are not all the same. You can find Pit Boss pellets occasionally $16 for a 20lb bag. Quality charcoal like B&B for my open pits seems to run close to pellet prices. I recently tried Royal Oak CHARCOAL pellets mixed with Weber wood. Outstanding flavor and results. Thanks for checking in!!
Seems Weber(and others)are more interested in selling limited use accessories than a quality grill at a fair price. Your grill looks and cooks great. Your painful odyssey to get there is not enviable. The small Searwood is $900!! Camp Chef comparable is half that. So are Pitt Boss and ZGrills and a host of others.
@toro…. Good points, there are many to choose from at different price points. IF this stays reliable, I can say it’s very capable smoker, griller and griddler all in one. That’s a tough trio to compete with. Thanks for checking in!

Randel, thanks for the support and check in! I’m optimistic about its capabilities. Stay tuned, more variations of cooks coming.
So happy to hear the searwood is cooking great…..now I may buy one!!!
Robert, stay tuned, be like me…. Paralysis thru analysis until you buy. I’ll try to deliver some variations for you all to consider before buying.
I’m in Alberta and had to get my Searwood set to Canada. I can’t wait. Enjoying your videos on it. Thanks.
Gerard, thanks for checking in and your support! Good luck with your new grill. Any questions, feel free to check in here!
Looking forward to more cook videos on this machine!! Thanks for posting!
Robert, thanks for the support and for checkin in! More variations to come!
Keep the videos coming. Great stuff you’re putting out
@nosakhare, appreciate you and thanks for checking in! More content coming soon!
Keep it up man. Love the knowledge

Fantastic looking pork, great cook!
@Trumpet, thanks for the supportive words and checking in! Yes! We’re still talking about how well it turned out! Thanks again.

@@sambosplace Seasoned with some SPG and a little sweet heat. Bone in, skin on. 350 F on the bottom rack, flipping only once. Delish.
Sounds great!!! I’m in!!!
Videos are great
Mr Barbose
Thanks for your support!!
I love black and tan. The cherry cola is pretty good but I don’t want it all the time. Haven’t tried the honey garlic.
My cabbage, thanks for checking in! I’m guessing the cola is an individual taste rub. Looked intriguing. I have a goto formula I make, but variety is sometimes a necessity. The black and tan is “oh my lord”….
I had no doubts it could smoke and go low and slow. Still wondering how well it grills.
Chiggy, the Ribeye steak video is complete, video dropping soon. Thank you for watching and checking in!!
Would be nice to see a video that shows if it can sear meat. I’ve seen a couple videos where they were not able to get a sear on steaks.
Sean, thanks for checking in! Ribeye video content is done, video dropping soon!
Seems to a great pellet grill, extremely versatile. I'm just worried about the smoke flavor. Are you really happy with it ?

Great job man. Have you treated yourself to the rotisserie? Whole chicken cooks have never been so good.
Nicholas, THAT is on the list of must haves. Appreciate you. Thanks for checking in!
IF it can sear a steak like a charcoal grill I'm in! That's what my smokefire failed to do. That's why I sold it and went back to the tried and true Weber kettle.
Personally I don’t expect it to be on par with charcoal, if it can compete with gas I would be satisfied with that.
Jim, Ribeye content is already filmed. Video with thoughts dropping soon!

Good content, please do a cook with rotisserie. Maybe a ribeye roast.
Steven, thanks for the supportive words. The rotisserie attachment is on the list to acquire. Thanks for the suggestion and checking in!!!
You said just over a bag to smoke for 10 hours. How big of a bag are you talking about 10 lbs, 20 lbs??
Todd, thanks for checking in. Weber 20 lb. Pellets.
