3. Operating Instructions
The Weber Searwood XL 600 offers a versatile cooking experience, from low-and-slow smoking to high-heat searing.
3.1 Temperature Control and Range
The grill features a full temperature range from 180°F to 600°F, allowing you to smoke, sear, and roast on the same grill. The Rapid React PID controller heats the grill to the set temperature in 15 minutes or less under optimal conditions, ensuring quick recovery after the lid is opened and consistent temperature in cold weather.
3.2 DirectFlame™ Cooking
Experience flavorful searing, browning, and crisping with DirectFlame™ cooking. Without a large sheet diffuser blocking the flame, you can achieve deep sear marks, golden browning, and crispy bark on your food. The full grate sear zone ensures even heating across the entire cooking surface.
