Backyard Beast vs Searwood XL (final two, both now on sale)

My second post on this topic - downsizing my grill collection. Giving my basic Pit Boss to one adult son, an old propane Holland Grill to my other son, and likely ditching an aging vertical propane smoker. *Also selling my Kamado Joe (time for something different).

My goal is to pair a new pellet grill with my 36" Blackstone and be done with it.

Looking for reliability, versatility, ease of cleanup, and a decent range of temps from 180° to 600°+.

Seeking opinions from those who have experience with both (similar models, etc.).

Throw it at me.

Patio space Pellet grill to replace multiple grills

Casual conversation here, no need to get too deep.

Current setup - (1) kamado Joe with some extra attachments (rotisserie, dojoe pizza insert) (2) propane holland grill (3) pit boss 600 (4) 36" blackstone - keeping this (5) old vertical propane smoker.

Too much shit on my patio. Looking to reduce to just a large pellet grill and my blackstone. Some of the other stuff is or has gone to my adult boys.

Run the full gamut of grilling/smoking for 3 to 12 people.

I have a $300 Academy gift card and a regular $800 visa gift card. Also selling my kamado Joe.

At academy, I have a choice of:

(1) woodwind pro 24 - $1799
(2) woodwind SS 36 - $1500

(5) traeger Ironwood 650 $1100
(6) Louisiana Grills premier 800 $1000
