I have owned my Searwood 600 for about a month. I’ve used it almost every night to cook dinner for the family (4). I absolutely love this thing. I tend to do shorter cooks lasting 25 to 60 minutes. Steak, burgers, fish, vegetables, etc. The Master Touch kettle will always be my favorite. However, the Searwood is close. The wood pellets (sometimes I use charcoal pellets) give you the smoke and a nice even heat. It heats up fairly quickly, too. There is a learning curve when it comes to high heat cooking and searing, but it’s fun figuring it out. I look forward to trying it out for low and slow cooks.  I would buy it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I may buy a second one.
