Title: So Slow n Sear is making a Weber type kettle!?!?
Post by: Transit98 on April 24, 2020, 10:26:52 AM: Just got an email from SnS Grills about a pre order battleship gray kettle that looks very close to a Weber.

I’m sticking with my Weber

To be clear - it wasn't 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis contentious but more like 1987 Ronald Reagan "tear down this wall" contentious. But definitely contentious.

I always say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Post by: andrewshrm on May 01, 2020, 02:18:23 PM: Definitely odd to see this. SNS has doubtless been very successful in the accessory market and a close relationship with Weber fans. Why risk alienating the user base?

Post by: CarrieAnn on May 02, 2020, 06:34:18 AM: I can’t see where this would actually alienate the Weber crowd, but that’s just me. I’m sure they’ll make a very nice grill if I use my satisfaction with my SnS as a basis. I’m very happy with that. But as I am not in the market for anymore kettles (well... possibly a 26...) I won’t be biting. But hey, I hope they do really well and bring some new innovations to the table.

How much are they? If one pops upon craigslist a few years from now I might bite

Edit: looked at the sns site. Its 279. Stainless cook grate, porcelain coated charcoal grate, and I think I like the "Smoke Hole" lol

Just by those pictures it looks like a one touch gold, had a lid bale added between the handles and a BBQ dragon table on the other side. Lol
