Weber Barbecues Meet the Weber Searwood® Pellet Barbecue
Feast For All: The New Weber Searwood® Pellet Barbecue has arrived in Australia
Cooking outdoors for Aussies has never been just about the food. It’s the soundtrack of a sizzling barbecue, the smell of smoke drifting down the street, and the way a backyard can suddenly feel like the best restaurant in town when everyone’s gathered around.
The new Weber Searwood Pellet Barbecue taps into all of that. It’s made for those moments when you want flavour to take centre stage. It’s versatile, packed with wood-fired character, and built to make barbecuing as enjoyable as the people you share it with.

Why Pellet Barbecuing Is Having Its Moment
Pellet barbecuing has been on the rise in Australia for a while now. It combines the rich, smoky flavour of wood fire with the ease and consistency of modern technology. With the Searwood, Weber has taken the best parts of traditional barbecuing; smoke, sear, roast, and bake, and made them easier to master.
Think of it as the sweet spot between hands-on cooking and set-and-forget convenience. The Searwood can hold steady for a long brisket session, or hit searing heat for steaks in no time. It’s a mix of hands-on and hands-off cooking, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
From Slow-Smoked Brisket to Wood-Fired Pizza
The Searwood isn’t just about low and slow. With a temperature range of 80° to 315°C, it gives you the flexibility to smoke, sear, roast, and bake. You can load it up with ribs or pork shoulder for a lazy Sunday, reverse-sear a rib eye steak that’s worthy of your favourite steakhouse, or whip up a smoky wood-fired pizza midweek.
One standout feature is DirectFlame™ cooking. Instead of a big sheet diffuser blocking the flame, you get direct, flavourful heat across the barbecue. That means deep sear marks, golden caramelisation, and the kind of bold bark that gets people asking for your secret.
And if you’re the type who likes to cook for a crowd, the large two-level cooking space has you covered. The deep top rack can fit a brisket on its own, or you can remove it to fit big cuts like whole poultry.

Smarter Barbecuing with Weber Connect®
One of the things that makes the Searwood such a standout is how it brings technology into the mix without complicating the process. With Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity, you can keep an eye on your cook and control it from your phone.
The Weber Connect app gives you live updates, food readiness alerts, and even guided recipes. Want to try something new? The app walks you through it step by step. Prefer to do it your way? You can just use it to track temperatures and know exactly when your food is ready.
It’s a perfect balance of freedom and confidence – you’re still the cook, but the Searwood makes sure nothing slips past you.
Designed for Real Life
Beyond the cooking, Weber has made sure the Searwood fits into everyday life. It heats up to the set temp in under 15 minutes, holds temps steady even in colder weather, and cools down quickly when you’re done. Cleanup is simple too, with a front pull-and-clean system that handles grease and ash without the need for a vacuum.
The large side hopper makes it easy to fill and swap out pellet flavours, so you can go from smoky hickory to a lighter fruitwood without fuss. Large wheels and a sturdy handle make it easier to move around the backyard or patio. It’s tough, practical, and designed to be used all year round.

Why It Belongs in Your Backyard
The Searwood isn’t just a barbecue – it’s the kind of centrepiece that makes a gathering feel special. It’s for people who love experimenting with food, who want to grow their skills, and who get a buzz out of being the one in the group who always brings something new to the table.
For some, it’ll be about finally nailing that American-style brisket they’ve been researching for months. For others, it’ll be about the freedom to try something different – like baking bread outdoors or spinning a roast chicken on the rotisserie. And for plenty, it’ll simply be about enjoying a barbecue that keeps up with their busy, social lifestyle.
The Searwood is built for early adopters, food lovers, and those who want their barbecue to be as versatile and exciting as the meals they cook on it.
Feast For All
Outdoor cooking in Australia isn’t slowing down, it’s levelling up. The Weber Searwood Pellet Barbecue doesn’t just keep up with the way we cook today — it opens the door to what’s next. Real smoke flavour. Searing heat. Tech that’s smart enough to help but never gets in the way.
This is barbecue that looks good, cooks better, and makes you the one that everyone asks to “do the honours” at the next get-together.
