Dang a slate and a searwood. Nice.
I’m really thinking about the new rust proof slate.
The Searwood has arrived!

Yea. I got sick of my Genesis Gas. Wanted to try something new. Couldn’t decide on the griddle or the pellet so I got both. Haha. I’ve had the Slate for about a month and love it so far. Hoping I will love the Searwood too. I plan on doing the burn in tomorrow evening under my covered porch for now. Maybe cooking a whole chicken or just some chicken breasts for first cook.

The entire back is the vent, right at the seam
Interesting that the rack storage is now behind the grill

I see so the diffuser directs the heat diagonally. Weird.

Nice! Are all the internal parts stainless steel? Also, I want to know if ash builds up on the bottom shelf between the legs of the Searwood.

Looks like all the parts internally are stainless. The flavorizer bar is a thinner gauge than the ones in my Genesis. The bottom heat deflector is also thin and possibly a different stainless. Not sure though.

Got it on Weber.com. One morning it became available to add to cart and I did.

Check Home Depot there are 2 in stock at my store gonna swing by today see if they have one on the floor. If I wanted one delivered there are 54 available this is in my area of course.

I am watching. I did think that it was an improvement to cast the holders for the flavorizer bar right into the aluminum. A lot better than the holders on the SmokeFIre that I have heard are prone to rust failure.

A quick search near me... including all local Ace Hardware stores shows zero availability of Searwoods. Ace down the road allocates floor space to: 1.Weber 2.BGE 3.Traeger
Weber gas grills have the most space.
It's April... should start seeing new stuff now or very soon.
I might be down there today for dog food so I'm going to have a look.

OK...the dogs food supply is restocked. Fromm of assorted varieties...saw the new Weber Summit...a nice grill but nowhere near $4000 nice. In fact, the guys working there were trying to fix the flopping left shelf.

At least you got to see one in person. Way out of my price range, but I still like some things about it.

If you’re interested. I did the biscuit test after initial burn in. Cooked at 350 for 15 minutes. Center of grill seems very consistent. Left side hotter than right and back hotter than front.
