Technically I don't look at Searwood as a first year product. I think Weber honed everything they learned from the failings of the Smokefire and made something just "conventional" enough to work yet still unconventional enough to be ground breakingI for one never buy the first model year of anything...car, major appliance, etc... With that in mind, the Searwood is even in a more critical situation coming off the evident total failure of the SmokeFubar. Waiting it out a year or 3 seems prudent.

Smoked or grilled?You never know when the zombie apocalypse is gonna hit.
Post a link if you see itHarry Soo just got sent a Searwood, he says the in-depth review should be up soon.
The name has changed. The design has changed. The internal components are completely different. That adds up to a new, first model by most standards. It may very well be a great product but it needs some more time to prove that.Technically I don't look at Searwood as a first year product.

I'm surprised. He was one of the 1st Gen Smokefire enablers and that didn't work out too good.Harry Soo just got sent a Searwood, he says the in-depth review should be up soon.
If this was Weber's first foray into the pellet arena (as what happened with SmokeFire) I would give the comment full creds. But it's not. They took everything that "worked" about SmokeFire, and kept it, everything that didn't, it looks like they put where it belongs (in the trash). And made the SearWood.The name has changed.

I have one and so far I agree but It's my first and only pellet shooter.He still thinks the SF gen 2 is one of the best pellet cookers he has used.
