Weber Searwood 600 XL - First Fresh Pizza Cook

johnf440 · May 15, 2024

I've had my Searwood 600 XL for a couple weeks now and decided over the weekend to try a fresh pizza with a stone for a dinner cook. I've made these on my GMG with the pizza oven attachment and they turn out pretty good. I wanted to see if I could get satisfactory performance cooking one just on a stone in the Searwood at 600 degrees. Stone hovered just under 500 degrees when I put the first pizza on - Aldi refrigerated dough ball.

Came out great for a first cook. I may drop to 550 and run a little longer next time but still came out great:

Excellent video thanks.

Nice cook! I’ve been using that for my pizzas and works great. I also have a pizza stone but I’ve migrated to screens lately. I’ve done a few pizzas on the Searwood and they have all come out great.

Great, was wondering how mine would do, will have to try that tonight! Thanks!

Coincidentally I am doing a pizza tomorrow. I’m going to try it on manual mode level 10. I’m thinking it will help maintain high temp drops vs setting 500-600

Waiting for my Searwood XL to arrive this week. I didn’t get the pizza stone grill grate, I figure I can just use the stone I have on top of the current grates. Anyone see an issue going that route?

Should be fine. I would recommend you get a pizza screen though. It works great laid just on the grates and you can cook multiple pizzas right away. Also easier to store, many different sizes and only a few bucks to buy. Pizza I cooked last night below. Bbq chicken (and bacon) pizza. Level 10 manual mode for about 8mins. Did a quarter turn about every 2-3 mins.
