I just got a call from Keith Diekmann, formerly of Memphis Grills.  Keith is now in charge of the Solid Fuels Division of Weber.  They are launching a new pellet unit, the Searwood™ 600 Pellet Grill  He has asked PelletFan if we would like to do a Performance Test and we said we would love to!

It will be in a few weeks.  We both need to get a few things in order before we can get started.  Just wanted PelletFans to be the 1st to know.  I am looking forward to it very much.  Keith feels this unit has moved beyond the the Smoke unit in many ways.

More to come in April!

I'm soooo looking forward to your Performance Test.  I've bought many items based on your straightforward, non biased, real world reviews.  The video shows a pit/grill that will do everything I want in one unit.  I hope that you prove it to be achievable.

Look forward to your review. I'm a big fan of Weber grills. And I have a lot of faith in any review that you do.

Speaks volumes if you ask me.
Looking very forward to it, we are in the market for something that is multi faceted.

It would be interesting if you went back to look at the concerns and issues some members here had with the original Weber pellet grills to see if those things have been corrected.

Great idea!  Hopefully it will be covered in PT!

 Waiting, waiting & waiting.

 Back to the good old days: testing & good times!

Very interesting. Looking forward to your review of the unit.

Any word on pricing?

Suggested pricing is on the Weber site.

wonder  if this will replace the smokefires or if this is just a lower price point unit?

This thing looks promising--I am anxious to read your review.

Per that web link, it looks like a lower price point unit with smokefire still being available in multiple models

Looking forward to this

I look forward to this.  My 10 year old GMG just died.  After a couple times of taking it apart and trying to get everything well lubed, I have come to the conclusion that sooner or later fans and auger motors just wear out.  I will follow this performance test, maybe a Weber is in my future if it goes well!
