Review: Easy way to make smoked meat on a Weber kettle - This is an excellent product. Can you do the same using the snake method around the base of the kettle? Yes, but it won't be as easy to set up and you won't have a water reservoir for keeping the chamber somewhat humid during the cook. I've smoked several briskets, pork bellies, and racks of ribs and this works perfectly every time. Each cook requires maybe two fill-ups of charcoal and wood chunks to get the job done, depending on the size/weight involved. Overall, it's a great add-on to a kettle that allows you to smoke meats with no headache/babysitting.
Review: Greatest Weber accessory ever!!!! - The Slow N Sear is amazing! I have the Slow N Sear Plus for a 22.5 Weber Kettle. I just completed my first BBQ using the Slow N Sear. I used kingsford blue bag and a few pieces of hickory and apple. I have never smoked a pork shoulder in my life on a BBQ Smoker or anything for that matter. However, I have been cooking on my Weber with indirect heat for things like beer can chicken, chicken thighs, chicken drums, chicken wings, brats, steaks, burgers and dogs. I followed Slow N Sears simple directions, that came in the box, on how to light the grill for a 225 cook. Next, I put the meat, a 7.78lb pork shoulder, on at 10:51pm. I set my digital thermometer to wake me up if the grill got anywhere above 290F or below 200F. It was a little windy and the air temp was 62F. I got the temp dialed in between 225F-230F and fell asleep around midnight. My low air temp alarm did not go off until 6:00am that morning. I brushed the ash out of the way, moved the remaining coals to one side, refilled the Slownsear back up with coals. I was just reversing the process. Cooked for 3.5 more hours before I had to open the lid again. My temps were dropping a little and I think it was because I needed to get some more of the ash out of the way and through the bottom of the grate. I think it was clogging the airflow. As soon as I made sure the the ash was cleared I closed the lid and I got it ack to temp around 245-250. I only had to open the lid twice during the entire 13.5 hour cook. I Cooked it until 12:23pm. I took the pork shoulder off the grill when it had an internal temperature of 203F. I never wrapped the Pork Shoulder for the entire cook so I could get a great bark. I also only filled the water pan once right at the beginning. The water ran out and I didn't need it after it emptied from the initial fill. I let the pork shoulder rest for 1.5 hours with a tinfoil tent over top. The bone pulled right out and I could shred it with my hands. The family loved it. My neighbors could smell it from blocks away. I had some friends stop by to try it after I sent them some pictures and they all loved it. It turned out amazing! It was so easy. Two friends stopped by, tried the pork and immediately went home and ordered the SlowNSear for their own Weber Kettles. The bark was delicious, I had a great smoke ring and the meat was moist. What more could I ask for? A side note, I called Adrenaline BBQ during the cook, left a message and a real human called me back to answer my question. They were so polite, very helpful and happy to hear my cook was going well. They seem like a great company located in NC. I paid full price for my Slow n Sear and I do not work for them in anyway. I am just a man trying to elevate my skills on my Weber Kettle. The Slow N Sear is worth every penny. I am so happy with the purchase.

## Features

- Original Patented Two-Zone Cooking - From 225°F to 1000°F - The Slow 'N Sear is a patented charcoal basket insert for 22" kettle grills. Its patented curved design and radiant heat barrier create a true two-zone cooking system — a dedicated indirect smoke zone that holds 225–250°F for low-and-slow BBQ, and a direct sear zone that reaches 500–1000°F+ for high-heat searing. Smoke brisket low and slow, then remove the water reservoir and crank the heat to sear.
- Removable Water Reservoir – The Deluxe model's built-in reservoir holds just over one quart of water, generating 5+ hours of steady steam at 225°F to keep your meat moist throughout long cooks. It also acts as a thermal barrier between the coals and your indirect cooking zone for more stable temperatures. Remove it in seconds when you're ready to switch to high-heat searing.
- 8+ Hours of Uninterupted Grilling With One Load of Charcoal – Load one chimney-full (~80–100 briquettes) and the Slow 'N Sear's deep charcoal basket delivers 8+ hours of steady cooking at 225°F without a single refill. The Deluxe features a ventilated bottom plate that works with both briquettes and lump charcoal, giving you better airflow control, and making post-cook cleanup fast and easy.
- Heavy-Duty 430 Stainless Steel + 10 Year Warranty – Built from thick 430 stainless steel that resists warping, rust, and corrosion through years of high-heat use. While competitors sell flimsy charcoal baskets that warp after a season, the Slow 'N Sear Deluxe is engineered as a permanent upgrade to your grill. Backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty — because we build it to last and stand behind it.
- USA Designed, Veteran Owner, and Backed by 11 Patents Across the Slow 'N Sear Brand – SnS Grills holds 11 patents across its product lineup. That's not marketing, that's proof of innovation that competitors can't match. A proudly USA-designed, veteran-owned company, SnS Grills is trusted by competition BBQ teams and backyard pitmasters nationwide. Compatible with 22" Weber Kettle, SnS Kettles, and other standard 22" charcoal grills. This is the last charcoal basket you'll ever buy and what your Kettle needs for the ultimate upgrade.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: On long cooks, does the base plate cause the SNS+ to retain more ash, choking out the fire?**
A: Stirring or tunking the coals with tongs at about the 4-5hr mark helps prevent the fire from choking from ash, in fact ABC recommends this.  This hold true for both the Plus & regular SnS.

**Q: Any reason i would not be able to continue to use the propane lighter built into my weber performer? light them, then move to the side?**
A: Actually,  if your just lighting 5-10 briquettes it works perfectly.   You just have to rotate the slow and sear so that it rests over the igniter.   When I'm lighting a large number of briquettes I use a Weber chimney because it's faster.  The slow and sear is a great addition to the Weber performer.

**Q: what is the difference between Plus and regular?**
A: Performance-wise (charcoal burn time, temperature stability, how long water lasts in the reservoir, etc) the two products are identical.  As others have mentioned, the sole difference is the ventilated, stainless steel bottom plate on the Plus.  This plate helps to hold onto charcoal (especially lump pieces which are not uniform and can easily fall through the kettle's charcoal grate) and makes cleaning up after a cook (removing unused coals) easier.   Either one will change the way you cook in a kettle!

**Q: Can anyone compare this to the Smokinator, which I a already have?**
A: The Slow 'N Sear perfects low and slow, hot and fast, roasting, baking, and searing on a kettle grill.  The Slow 'N Sear needs far less tending than the Smokenator and the Smokenator is only designed for low and slow.  There's really no comparison if you want  a device that makes all types of cooking with your kettle better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great product for indirect cooking on a kettle grill
*by C***. on August 15, 2016*

I bought the Slow 'N Sear Plus several weeks ago from Amazon.com. I cannot yet comment on longevity, but the build quality of the product looks very good. It is made from heavy gauge stainless steal, fits my kettle grill perfectly and has not warped over several cooks (including hot sears). I have cooked on it five times now, and have smoked ribs and chicken, and slow roasted steak (with a very hot sear to finish). The results of using the Slow 'N Sear Plus have been excellent. I followed the instructions provided (even though I was initially concerned about having a lot of unlit briquettes), and it has worked very well. I measure the temperature of my cooks using a ThermaQ k-type thermocouple, which is a reasonably high precision device (+/- 1F), and I am easily able to maintain temperature between 220F and 235F over several hours (I have only cooked up to 5 hours thus far, but do not doubt the 8 hour claims at this point given the amount of leftover coals). Smoke levels are easily controlled by the addition of appropriate amounts of wood chunks (I have used 8 oz for ribs, 2 oz for chicken and 1 oz for steak). The food itself has come out great every time, and I look forward to my future cooks. Before I bought the Slow 'N Sear Plus, I had considered buying a dedicated smoker. However, this proves to be a much, much cheaper alternative for a high quality product, and I believe that the results will be as good. The only reason I may still get a dedicated smoker in the future is that the cooking capacity of a kettle grill is insufficient for large groups of people. One area where I think this could be improved slightly, is that I think the holes in the bottom could be, perhaps, 1/8th or 1/12th of an inch wider, to give a slightly better rate of ash falling through. This is obviously a balancing act between keeping the lit coals in place and not obstructing airflow with ash, and without experimentation it would be difficult to know what is optimal. However, I have not seen any ill effect of the current design in terms of temperature stability. TL;DR: If you want to do indirect cooking on a kettle grill, buy this product. It's great.
