I'm new to pellet grills but this Searwood 600 is so easy to use and clean. I love that I can accurately preset the temperature and grill with confidence. Searing steaks was easy and the steak came out juicy and flavorful with a hint of smoke flavor vs a regular gas grill. Hotdogs and hamburgers came out great. I bought the griddle for the Searwood 600 and I love it for cooking bacon and eggs and any loose items (vegetables).
