I bought my first smoker (Weber Searwood 600) over the weekend and smoked my first pork butt, which turned out great! Since I’m new I have two questions I was hoping y’all could help with. Also, any general
tips/recommendations are greatly welcomed!

  1. When you let the meat rest, can you use any cooler or do you need something specific like a Cambro for best results? I used the oven with it heated at 170 degrees for an hour, but don’t want to deal with that every time.

  2. Best type of brush to clean the grill grates? I tried using two different grill brushes I have and I couldn’t get the grates perfectly clean. Mine has the plated steel grates. I seasoned the grates with some of the Weber oil in a can and let it run on 500 degrees for 30 minutes.

  1. One tip i learned that helped my cooks and keep my grill working good is i use my shop vac to clean out allt he ash and stuff on the inside of the grill and the auger after every other cook.
    1.Also for a resting cooler i think any insulated cooler will work. I bought a bbq blanket for my resting but used to use my yeti cooler
    2. I used something that looks like the “grilla grip no bistle triple helix brush… not sire if its “the best” but works good

    For resting I use a few 30ish year old coolers I’ve got around here and some towels and it works great.  For the grates I ball up some aluminum foil in a loose ball and go to town.
