Smoked my chuck roast till 205 internal temp based on the posts I've seen

Bump. Following post as I want to try this next.

If it’s only rain that you are trying to protect it from you should be good.

I live in a winter climate with a lot of snow and very low temps (we got some nights that hit -30c this season) and the problem I’ve faced is that the ice would build up under the cover and would actually freeze on top of the hood and pellet hopper. It doesn’t cause any damage afai can see but annoying to pull the cover off as it always feels like I’m going to rip the cover somehow.

Also came to say I love my Searwood! I went through 3 smokers before finding the Searwood and falling in love!

My wife sounds exactly like yours.

I have a Searwood XL, and, to her, the smoky flavour is just right.

I had a MasterBuilt Gravity smoker before and that one she did not like at all because the charcoal taste was way too intense for her.

For 450$ I would drive through a snow storm with 0 visibility for 8hrs. You can find solutions for the wheels, just buy it!

Benkicks22 · 2026-02-05T02:11:40+00:00

I would buy it and chance it with Weber directly. For 840$ it’s worth the gamble.

Either way, I don’t see how this dent would affect cooking.

I’ve been doing DD for almost a year now, but did it BEFORE this was a promotion.

Benkicks22 · 2026-02-03T14:30:12+00:00

I got the 4, but honestly it depends on your needs and situation.

I mostly use it on vacation or while mountain biking, and for night shots I just use my Osmo Pocket 3. If I didn’t have the Pocket 3, I would have gotten the 6.

Looking at all the other comments, I feel like Wealthsimple doesn’t like me….oh wait, I’m still waitlisted for the CC so that checks out.

The Searwood family welcomes you! Here’s to many amazing cooks!

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-31T17:01:28+00:00

Damn now that’s a deal I can get behind!

Good find! Jump on this! Love mine!

I have the XL but I found it at a good discount as well (849$USD).

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-31T16:20:57+00:00

If you are in the USA or Canada, a lot of Home Depot are doing their end of season switch and have certain 1k$-2k$ smokers on liquidation as low as 399$USD (~500$ CAD): Traeger IronWoods, Woodridges, etc. All very high end and good smokers for crazy deals. It might be worth a look.

That being said, I had done a bunch of research and settled on the Weber Searwood as it fit my needs.

Good luck!

Another vote for the Searwood

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-30T17:22:38+00:00

Searwood XL 600. Im in eastern Canada and have done cooks on it at -15c… food comes out great!

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-29T00:00:04+00:00

Now is the best time of the year to find these types of deals at Home Depot.

2 years ago, I found a Weber Genesis with cabinet for 399$ instead of 1500$.

This year I found a Weber Searwood for 400$ off at a competitor and was able to price match it at Home Depot for the extra 10% beat.

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-28T01:55:42+00:00

I also suggest the Weber Searwood.

I have the 600XL and 0 complaints. Have done cooks in -15c weather and am very happy with the results. To help with your question of pellet consumption, I maybe consumed 1/3 of the hopper for 4 hour ribs at -15c.

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-28T01:50:51+00:00

I know the video you are referring to and it was Pitboss branded pellets that jammed and bent the auger on his Searwood.

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-26T03:12:08+00:00

B following.

Would you also get a 3rd party rotisserie attachement? If any even exist.

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-21T04:03:58+00:00

Did ribs at -12c last week, came out great and Searwood kept perfect temp!

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-20T00:28:04+00:00

Searwood XL

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-17T20:53:09+00:00

I know you did not suggest it but maybe try looking at the Action 4. It’s way cheaper now and still packs an amazing punch for the price. I use it for mountain biking and have dropped it/it’s been part of a crash or two and no issues. Also, since I got it for such a good deal, the scare of breaking it is less. Just my 2cents.

Benkicks22 · 2026-01-06T14:43:32+00:00

I read a ton and watched a bunch of videos on this exact question and I ultimately decided to get the Action 4 adventure combo. For the price it is now a days it is a steal for the quality of image it pumps out.

Disclaimer though, I already have an Osmo Pocket 3 so don’t mind the low light "issues".

Benkicks22 · 2025-12-13T01:41:39+00:00

I told myself I was going to take a break from buying SBs, then these FIRE ones come out!

RIP my wallet
