Best purchase I ever made
This was my first foray into pellet smokers. I did A LOT of research before selecting Weber; even though I own a weber charcoal kettle and gas grill. I was lured into smokers following two other name brands that saturate the market but ultimately went with Weber. The quality of the construction customer serve, ease of use, have all been exceptional. In my first two weeks I have cooked the best hamburgers I've ever made, cedar plank salmon, hot links, baby back ribs and chicken wings. This weekend I'm tackling my first brisket. I probably could have lived with the smaller 600, as Im usually not cooking for the neighbors, but thankfully my wife said, "Get the bigger one"! This weekend I will be cooking for a big family get together and will be happy to have the extra space to rotate meats.

Excellent Pellet Grill
We have been extremely impressed with the Weber Searwood XL 600 Pellet Grill. The overall quality and construction of the grill are excellent, and it is very easy to operate, even if you are new to pellet grilling.
Everything we have cooked on it so far has turned out amazing. It heats consistently, maintains temperature well, and gives the food great flavor. Whether grilling, smoking, or trying something new, the results have been excellent every time.
The Searwood XL 600 feels well-built and thoughtfully designed, and the extra cooking space is a big plus when preparing food for family or friends. So far, it has exceeded our expectations.
If you're looking for a quality pellet grill that is easy to use and produces great-tasting food, I would definitely recommend the Weber Searwood XL 600. We couldn't be happier with our purchase!

Amazing
I held off on upgrading past the traditional kettle grill because I didn't want to lose the searing and max heat and flavor capabilities of a traditional fire grill. The searwood hits all of those marks and I'm so glad I waited.

Incredible Smoker
I have had several other brands of pellet smokers in the past. NONE of them compare to the Weber Searwood. The amount of smoke I get rivals an offset and the ease of use makes it effortless. It maintains heat without chewing through pellets. The app is user friendly and connects with ease. My only complaint is that it doesn’t come with a front shelf for the price you pay. If you’re wanting a do it all pellet grill that produces incredible results, look no further!

Simple to use and makes great smoked meats
Impressive first couple cooks on my Starwood 600. Just did pulled pork and it was the best I have ever done. Was easy to get up and running with the app so I can control it from anywhere. Only issue is a couple times when I go the app to see the progress of what I am smoking the grill says it is offline. After refreshing the app it is back online.

Early Review
I bought my Searwood XL at the end of June and I already have at least 75 hours of cooking time on it with no major problems. I had a bad wired temp probe and Weber replaced it. I have not run my grill past 450 (F) so far, so whether or not I have the high temperature issues that so many discuss is yet undetermined.

Amazing Grill
To start it all off, WOW. The smoke flavor I’ve had on some of my smokes has been amazing. The grilling and searing (Be prepared to burn through some pellets at 600) has been outstanding. The rotisserie accessory is an absolute must. It is beyond easy to clean and can clean it pretty quickly. Be mindful which pellets you purchase if you are trying to sear at 600, some brands have a maximum of 500 degrees. The Weber pellets themselves are great, for a long low heat smoke, other brands will work well. However I do wish the grill grates were not in 3 separate sizes or pieces and a little more snug, but I understand they did this to make room to add things such as the griddle, pizza stone, ect. All in all I found this grill to be a great investment and 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants an all around amazing pellet grill/smoker.

OUTSTANDING -- great for serious beginners
Easy to use, works great, lots of smoke, a wide range of temperatures are achievable, unlike some other brands -- it makes it easy for a beginner to enter the world of grilling and smoking with an easy to use, controlled pellet grill. Thank you Weber for coming out with this jack of all trades -- I got the griddle and rotisserie accessories as well.

Searwood XL 600 Peller Smoker
Very nice smoker/grill, good investment. The XL600 is really good for the experienced and new smoker folks alike. It is different from the charcoal or electric type of smokers I own, but it certainly has its advantages. The XL 600 holds temperatures very, very well. It is like having an outdoor oven because of the ability to hold temps. Because pellets burn so clean at higher temps, I use the 180-degree extra smoke feature to get some smokey flavor. For example, I smoked some baby-back ribs for 2 1/2 hours at the 180-degre-extra smoke setting and finished them off at 225 degrees another 3 hours to hit the 203 degrees mark and they were better than any ribs I've had in a restaurant. Used the same 180 setting for a Tri-Tip to get the smokey flavor, then turned up the heat to get hit medium doneness at140 degrees and had great results. We just did pizzas the other night, again great results. We used store bought fresh dough and added our favorite toppings. Set the XL 600 to 500 degrees with our 25-year-old pizza stone in, after 25 minutes the stone was 467 degrees, put the pizza on the stone and 12 minutes later, we had a fantastic homemade pizza without heating up the house. Make sure you take advantage of the temperature probes for meat to get to the correct doneness mark. I checked them against my hand-held probe, and they were exactly the same. Happy Smoking!

Great Grill – Searwood XL 600
After studying comparative grill manufacturers and types of grill designs, discussing smokers with two experienced grillers/smokers, and querying Grok AI for an analysis, I decided on Weber's Searwood XL 600 for my grilling and smoker needs. These recent efforts only added to the trust I have for Weber grills developed over 48 years of BBQ on Weber grills. Assembly was straightforward accept one last screw on the bottom tray was not easy to bring it into alignment (and yes, I left all other screws loose to allow for play which is essential for pretty much struggle free assembly. Funny, this is the same screw that a YouTuber had a challenge with). The fit and finish of the Searwood are excellent. Hopper held a whole 20 pounds of pellets. Burn-off went well. Auger, igniter and fan worked great. Heat up time matched claims. I tried the smoke setting and smoke just came pouring out the vents. The electronics seem well designed and sealed up against the elements. The control panel interface is attractive and clear. Paying attention to the sequencing through the various modes just takes a few minutes to understand. The app interface and controls with wifi and bluetooth are really neat. You can walk away when you don't need to be right there watching the cook and either check how the cook is going or be notified when a setting has been achieved. My second cook is going to be tri-tip roast. My first was pizza (what my granddaughter wanted). I set the grill temp to 600 degrees. The pizza stone (my own) got up to 560 degrees based on a laser thermometer in 30 minutes. After 45 minutes I put our home made pizza on the stone and 6 minutes later the pizza was just perfect. I did a second pizza cook right away. The grill recovered temp in 2 minutes. Note, this was a summer day and the ambient temperature was about 85 degrees. Overall, I believe this Weber Searwood XL 600 provides the equipment and capacity for a cook to become a grill master. The only caveat is the want-to-be grill master up to it?

Sear master
So far, I’ve enjoyed the grill. It would be nice if it had a front shelf. But, then Weber would lose out on making more money. Right?! Time will tell how it holds up.

Why did I wait.....
The Searwood 600 XL is everything I hoped it would be. Plenty of room to smoke large racks of ribs and briskets and it holds the temperature steady without any fuss. I can monitor everything from the app while I'm busy doing other things for the cook. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy it.

Love my new Searwood 600 XL. The Rotisserie function is very nice. Bought the crisper basket…wings are fantastic. Bought the Griddle…it is really nice and functional as well.
It serves as a fantastic Pizza oven…throw a couple stones in and it does an amazing job
Brisket capability is stellar.
Love the controller/application really nice…it is supper convenient and user friendly.
I am VERY happy with my choice in buying the Searwood.

The Best
After owning a couple other pellet grill/smokers, in my opinion, the Weber Searwood® XL 600 is probably the best grill/smoker available today. It lights and comes up to temp in less than 15 min, and stays there throughout the cook. The pellet hopper level gauge is super helpful! I also like the 600+ degree searing and manual pellet feed without the center hot spot like other pellet grills with a small over-the-flames section. This pellet grill/smoker combo is superior and I'm sure the non-XL version is the same! That being said...I wish it had two locking casters on the left and better polyurethane wheels on the right.

A must have for beginners/experience grill masters
Without a doubt, this is the best grill I have ever purchased. I find myself looking through my refrigerator—or even wandering the grocery store—just to find something new to throw on the grill.
Whenever someone asks me what I like about my grill, I tell them, “Nothing.” Then I smile and say, “I don’t just like it—I LOVE my Weber Searwood 600XL!”
This grill maintains temperatures with incredible accuracy, whether I’m cooking low-and-slow barbecue or searing over high heat. It delivers consistent, dependable results every time with brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, steaks, and burgers.
Unlike many pellet grills that top out around 450–500°F, the Searwood 600XL reaches an impressive 600°F with DirectFlame cooking, producing authentic grill marks and an exceptional sear on steaks and burgers.
The Weber Wi-Fi app is another standout feature. It allows me to monitor my meat probes, adjust grill temperatures, and receive cooking alerts remotely, giving me confidence and convenience whether I’m relaxing inside or away from the grill.
Simply put, the Weber Searwood 600XL has taken my outdoor cooking experience to an entirely new level, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Great smoker
This is a very versatile smoker. Paired with a good quality pellet and any meal can be better with this. I use it multiple times per week. After a year, heating element died but that was an easy and cheap fix.

Amazing Smoker / Grill
I love this smoker / grill. I have used it several times, and every experience has been amazing. The only gripe is that I wish it came with better wheels along with the alternative to place a set of wheels in place of the 2 legs. It’s a beast to move.

Weber Quality
I am loving my new Searwood XL 600. The app is straight forward in directions for using. Controls are easy to understand and it delivers high quality cooking. I just recently prepared a Boston butt for a group of friends that was amazed by the texture and flavor of the meat saying it was the best pulled pork they've ever had. I highly recommend this smoker

So glad we purchased the Searwood
We purchased this as a gift to ourselves and because we are long time Weber owners. The Searwood is easy to use and does a wonderful job smoking. We still have our 15 year old Performer so we haven’t grilled on the Searwood yet but plan too. I was nervous to smoke meat but the Searwood makes it so easy.
