TRIGGER PULLED Weber Searwood 600XL

[Slapshot]

Is your name SlapShot because you play hockey?

I played a lot of hockey, but too old now. While I had some other limitations, I was renowned for my slapshot. In one season, long ago, I broke the glass in four rinks, knocked out three goalies, and scored over 50 goals. But, that was long ago, and faraway. How time flies.

HA! What a coincidence. I too have a sick slap shot too. Scored 3 goals in my beer league game last month because of it... 1 was tipped and 2 went straight in! I also broke glass as well back in the day in juniors. Nice to see another puck dude on this forum. Happy smokin, bud!

Thoughts on the first cook: this grill runs hotter than my EX-4. I think I cooked those skewers in about 20% less time than what it used to take me on my EX-4. Everything that everybody said about the SearWood is true:

1. The display is WAY easier to read, with larger brighter numbers.
2. I love the fuel level on the app, no more running outside to pop open the hopper lid to see how much fuel is left.
3. I love the hopper on the side, way safer to add pellets and way easier to access.
4. I love that the hopper lid can double as a side shelf, I ordered the side shelf as well but you really don't need it on this grill
5. The shutdown process shows a timer that is easy to see. App notifications are the same as the EX-4 but you couldn't really see a timer on the unit because it was so faint.

Those are all my thoughts after my first cook which was pretty basic. On Sunday I am tackling the rotisserie!! Gonna make a chicken on there.

The second cook completed last night!! Forgot to take pics, Used the rotisserie and roasted a chicken, with potatoes in the drip tray. My only issue is that I underestimated the amount of time it was going to take... aside from that it was delish.
