Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?


 
I think this thread like many others highlights we have a wide spectrum of cooking styles and how we use our cooking tools AND we are lucky enough to have many choices to support this hobby; or is it a habit / addiction ?
 
OK, while the Ninja FlexFlame can actually do somewhat decent low and slow smoking, my recommendation of it was more that you have an easy way to do high heat (with wood smoke, if you choose) and still also do basic smoking. If your focus is still more on smoking, then maybe the Searwood is still the better choice.

Everything is a trade-off. I would personally still want a basic gas grill - think inexpensive older classic Genesis - to augment the Searwood.

We will wait to see what Larry finds out. He has been an eager user and proponent of the Ninja Woodfire up to now. I am very interested to see what he comes up with. I don't know at all but wonder about the smoke clogging air flow over time.
Full transparency. The grilling/smoking is done on our driveway which we keep very neat. The Weber kettle stays out. So, The WSM is put away after every smoke. My lovely wife of has gone thru many grill configurations over our 45 years together. And now she doesn't want them both out So, I end up grilling all the time and smoking once every couple months. Now she says, see you need them both out because "You hardly ever smoke." HA! I'm clearly that guy that needs one grill to do both. My fear is that the SW is not going to do as good as my trusty kettle .I know this sounds trite and my guess is that
100% agree.
