Started smoking in Aug 2025. First smoker is a Weber Searwood. I purchased a ThermoWorks Smoke to get a more accurate temperature and the pro-series needle probe. I also have a Weber grilling basket, Weber grill brush, and the Grillart steambrush. I've tried all sorts of pellets and wood flavors and my family mainly likes the Traeger signature blend. I have a meat injector and shears for poultry.
I also recently purchased a new 2010 used Weber Kettle Performer. Just got a cover for it. I bought the ThermoWorks RFX with 1 wireless probe, the SnS and DnG to spruce up the grill. I have not cooked on it yet. I cut a hole and installed the ThermoWorks billows. I did buy 4 bags of the B&B charcoal briquettes.
All my cooking has been on the Searwood. I absolutely love cooking Pork Shoulder, chicken wings, chicken breasts and steak. I won first place in my church chili cookoff (I bragged to everyone about it) and I really enjoyed the chili (and I don't really like chili). I really enjoyed Moink balls. I like cooking ribs, chicken breasts, and chicken legs with white sauce.
I look forward to cooking pork burnt ends, smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, and maybe even a brisket.
I'm still trying to determine rubs my wife will really enjoy. I love the rubs from the website, but my wife just wants some rubs that will bring out the meat flavor so she can taste the meat. I'm seeking simple rubs for chicken breasts and steaks.
I love soda and especially Dr. Pepper. I don't drink alcohol.
I live near Boise, ID. I've been married for 25 years and I have 5 kids. I'm a second career dentist.

My son has a 26” and the legs are a weak spot. I wound up building him, a table to house it when the legs gave away.

Spider Grills has some legs with wheels…

LegoMySearwood The problem on the 26” isn’t with the legs themselves, but rather the welds on the kettle that hold the legs.
-
I had a local fabricator build a cart with a side table for mine. Works great! I was originally thinking about the legs made by Spider Grills, but thought it would be too low to the ground based on the pictures.

So what are you cooking on it this weekend?
You will never regret owning a 26. You may regret not owning 2 of them though, at that price buy 2, sell one mid summer new in box for 400, then buy some meat with the profit. lol
truly used ones sell for more, if wanting one you’d be a fool not to take one home.Last edited by Richard Chrz; January 29, 2026, 02:46 PM.

Home Depot must be clearing out inventory. I saw a fella on Reddit who found a Masterbuilt 800 gravity feed for $270 . I think that's $800 msrp .

Huskee Its not found on-line, evidently, it can be found in-store only. I thought it was a great deal also.
Before I paid way too much for my Assassin GF, I looked and looked for this kind of winter deal on a MB1050 or even the 800. My only consolation is the Assassin will last the rest of my lifetime and who'ever's lifetime I leave it to.
