Weber Smoque vs. Searwood: Who is THE ONE?

We put two of Weber’s most talked-about grills to the ultimate smoke showdown: the Weber Searwood versus the Weber Smoque. After last week's party ribs experiment showed no real difference in flavor, we're turning up the challenge with smoked chuck roast—aka poor man's brisket.

Using identical cuts of meat, the same SPG beef rub, and Smokin' Pecan pellets in both units, we run a low-and-slow cook to see which machine delivers superior smoke flavor and tenderness. With thermal probes monitoring both ambient and internal temperatures, this test gets granular—tracking stall points, wrapping stages, and bark development in real time.

By the end, the results are surprisingly clear. If you’re torn between these two Weber options, this video will help you decide which smoker deserves a spot on your deck.
