The Searwood has arrived!

Will be putting together tonight inside the house because weather in the Northeast is rain for next 3 days.

Think I'm going to have to follow this one

 

[DavidLeRow]

Unpacked and inside. Let the fun begin!

It’s built!! Now the rain needs to stop! Here are some pics. Let me know if you want to see something specific.

Waiting for our local BBQ place to call when mine arrives. I opted for the 600.

Nice. Good luck! Very simple to put together.

Are there any vents on the back of the hood like the Smokefire has?

There are no vents.

Thank you for sharing. So far, so good, so it seems. I'm told this rain may stop...some day.

Would love to see detailed look at how that flavorizer sits in there, what's around it, how (if at all) they do anything to separate grease and wood ash.

 

[Bruno]

Very cool. I’m with Larry I’d like to see that as well. What’s the path for grease and what separates the ash and grease this time.

 

[DavidLeRow]

As this is my first pellet grill I’m not sure how this setup will affect the grease/ash management. When I can finally cook on it we’ll see what happens.

 

[DavidLeRow]

The flavorizer bar is 8 3/16” wide. The piece of metal on the bottom next to fire box is 9” wide. The sides of the cook box are very steep. The middle vents on the flavorizer bar are right above fire box vents. Could be some hot spots there. I plan on doing the biscuit test to find the hot spots.

That metal bracket at the bottom around the firebox is interesting.

 

[Bruno]

This video kind of gives an idea on what all is going on there.

A closer look at the bottom metal bracket

 

[LMichaels]

I will be REALLY curious to see how it fares in some "real world" work for you. Looks like a whole lot of bits and pieces to R&R and keep straight. So definitely once you do a cook or 2 and do a cleanout maybe document it with photos and or video

Can you share the first two letters of your serial number so I can understand which date code scheme Weber is using for these grills? Thanks!
