Another AmazingRibs Promotion Slow and sear

[ABCbarbecue]

I agree, had some lessons learned so next time should go much better.

I followed the lighting instructions, closing down the vents around 175.  But I guess I needed to close them down more.  I guess it was a hot day and the sun was shining directly on the kettle causing it to be a little hotter.

I forget if I mentioned, but I don't actually have a WEBER kettle, its a generic brand one with the same dimensions, same output vent.  The only difference is there's a ash catcher can at the bottom with two holes and metal sliders on each side for air intake.  The sliders don't give any sort of seal. So maybe too much intake air.  I can figure out a way to improve the seal.  Maybe the weber kettle is made of thicker metal so it isnt affect as much by direct sunlight.  However, I can't tell from comparing at the store.

Regardless of any of this, I average above 225 (around 240) and it lasted me about 8hrs but it took me 9-10hrs to finish a split 7lb shoulder (and it was wrapped mostly through the stall).  It seems like it took longer than usual especially for such small pieces.  Should I bother trying to get the temp down to 225?  or should I perhaps go at a higher temperature.  I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes.  Would lowering or raising the temp affect cook time by much?

I would start an hour or two earlier, cook at 225F, and skip the wrap.  What brand kettle are you using?

How much would the post and packaging be for a slow n sear to the UK, ABCbarbeque?

Thomas go to our website and enter your shipping info and it will show you the options.  We've been shipping to the UK for a few months now. 

I'm guessing it will be around $60 US.

I just wish I knew how to make the pics smaller.  Is there no resizing feature?

Used the slow and sear last night for the first time to cook KC strips 2" thick, followed amazing ribs approach for the reverse sear and his steak recipe and they turned out great with a good brown/crust after the sear. Took about 4 minutes for the coals to heat up for the sear with the lid open (2009 performer with the 2015 lid bale mod) and I just left the steaks on the indirect side. I also have grillgrates and set them up over the slow and sear side (the tines were over 600 degrees) for the sear.
Overall very pleased with the accessory, next is to try a brisket or ribs to try the slow side

Awesome @ukfigs.  Let me know the plan for your slow cook and I'd be happy to provide pointers to help make the SnS work for you.  If you've used other techniques to cook low and slow with a kettle be ready to keep those vents more tightly closed than you're used to.

Well, I've spent the last month getting to know how to control temps on my 26.

After reading through this thread again, I may have to take the plunge on this.

The SnS works great with the 26".  It reminds me of a big offset because you need more heat to get things going and reacts more slowly than the 22".

Just got mine. Just in time to cook some ribs tomorrow.

I've said it before but I think it's worth mentioning again that the SNS looks well made.

Gummi, it appears to be.  It's heavy and feels rock solid. I can't wait to try it out.

Rock Solid is the temp control, almost like it better than my UDS...
