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.
Congrats @irishk. I have a searwood and I have really enjoyed it. I’m so new to all this but the food I’ve made on my searwood has been outstanding so far. I’m just so new that I’ve rarely posted food pics. I’m too busy eating the delicious food.

+1 for @SheilaAnn
It took me a while to start posting too. Then I realized how friendly the 'Pit' is, especially when posting pictures of food.Last edited by mrichie1229; September 16, 2025, 11:27 PM.

Huskee Thanks for that. The amount of notifications alone should flag someone. And you have to assume they actual read the email
Panhead John Why stop there? Let us know in person, then deliver and assemble/install the prize. Go ahead and season it for us too.

Cooking on it is a step too far Panhead John If I wanted someone to cook for me, I’d move some place with decent barbecue.
