Don’t have a Searwood but, if your talking with the lid open your best bet is to preheat to 500, put grill on manual 8-10 and cook away.

This is how I do it on my Searwood. In manual mode alone, it takes forever to get high temps, but directly setting the temp does it in no time.

I there,
I just received my Searwood XL and tried to make some steaks, and unfortunately, I was disappointed.
Either I need to learn how to sear, or the grill cannot sear at all.
I set it to manual mode to 10, waited for 10+ minutes, put my steaks and they did not get any marks. Even worse, the center of the grill was not hot at all, so I could hold my hand at the center of the grill. the hot air was only on the sides, so I could not sear on the entire grate surface.

What am I doing wrong?

Heat it to 600 using regular temperature setting. Then, switch to manual mode 10.
