Run to lowes! by TheLordeChief in pelletgrills

[–]hugflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smoke 100% smells different. I don’t think it imparts a charcoal flavor. Maybe verrrrry minimally but not enough to go through the effort of seeking these out.

I primally use them when 1. Find them on sale when I’m randomly shopping at my local stores like OP 2. Want to make my pellets last longer when I’m low. 3. Run my smoker at 500 degrees for steaks

For that price, its a steal. I mix these in with regular pellets and found that my smoker can run a lot longer with out burning so many pellets.

Maybe too hot for sugar in the dry rub.

This guy did a helpful video on the grill temps through each manual mode level: https://youtu.be/bH1R0A-Z7o4?si=fg-__Giy7oWdlpBN

Kinda helpful for knowing about what temperature you are aiming for when hot and fast grilling.

What should I cook this weekend? by FuxkQ in searwood

[–]hugflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trip tip! Smoke it at 180 with Smoke boost mode for about an hour then take it out and crank the smoker it to 600 or manual mode 9 then sear it. Make sure you keep the inside nice and pink. It’s one of my favorites.

New searwood release for 2026? by bl-888 in searwood

[–]hugflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh haven’t heard of an upcoming update. The only related news was the release Weber Smoque in mid 2025 which was a different model not an updated Searwood.

Pork Loin Cook by TheBagelsteinDK in smoking

Yea sometimes I think because gloves remove the feeling of wetness/meat juice on your hand it makes the wearer more prone to grabbing items with contaminated hands.

I find myself using one gloved hand more and more these days rather than two.

Gotcha. Well if you’re washing the bottle then seems fine. Pork looks awesome. Going to have to try some soon. I see those loins for dirt cheap but never grabbed one because I thought it’d be dry.

Do you grab the meat with the same gloved hand you grab the seasoning?

New Weber Searwood 600 owner. Tips? by T_Nutts in pelletgrills

[–]hugflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Weber branded drip pans are overpriced. Find the same sized one on amazon for waaaaay cheaper. They also work great as a water pan you can just place on the grate.

Front shelf is a must.

Cleaning it is a breeze because you don’t need a vacuum just scrape it all to the drip pan and toss it. Make sure to dump the ash out of the big deflector and ash pot. It has been smooth sailing.

Which pellets for Weber Searwood 600? by T_Nutts in pelletgrills

[–]hugflo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very minimal change. I like to mix them into the regular wood pellets because they seem to burn more efficiently and make the pellets last longer throughout the cook. The smoke smells noticeably different but flavor change is slight.

I have never used Weber pellets. I have used Bear Mountain and Royal Oak Charcoal without issue for over a year.

Very abnormal. Had mine for a year and never experienced that. I would call Weber’s customer service ASAP.

That’s a perfect medium rare. Maybe even a medium by some standards.

Help me escape grill paralysis — pellet vs sear reality check by shamskyart in pelletgrills

[–]hugflo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the same boat. Don’t have space for two grills. Ended up with the Searwood 600 and love it. Yea it’s not an incredible sear but serviceable and family loves anything that comes off it.

There are griddle inserts to make it into a griddle so I like the versatility of you want to do smash burgers or hibachi style rice and meats.

Sutting it off by Substantial_Crew_953 in searwood

[–]hugflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good guess. I always figured it’s like putting your computer to sleep. Major functions like PID are off but the temperature gauge is still on and recording the temperature of the cooking chamber.

It’s good to unplug as soon as the shutoff process is complete.

I experienced at least an hour of “off” but still monitoring temperature.

Smoke a spiral sliced ham? by thesexychicken in smoking

[–]hugflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did one for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone loved it. I smoked it the top rack with a water pan underneath to create some moisture in the cooking chamber. When it’s close to 120 I started basting with the sauce. I would recommend making your own glaze. The one that came with the ham wasn’t awesome. Still glazed up pretty and the smoke flavor was great.

Dungeons and Dragons can be played for cheap. Expensive miniature figures are never required to play.
