Slow n' Sear for a 26" Kettle?

[ABCbarbecue]

@ABCbarbecue, do you have a picture of the new 26" SnS sitting in a 26.75" Weber grill?

Here you go.  Sorry I'm on the road for business or I'd grab a couple of shots of one shiny and new for you.

Love it!  Will it fit in vintage 26ers as well?  (1962)

@Troy do you know?

He did use it in a vintage 26: http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2016/02/14/slown-sear-vs-26-weber-kettle/

I have a modern 26 as well, but I don't have a 26 slow n sear

          Mine works just fine with the 65.  Frankly, I wouldn't want it any bigger.

I think that was the old style SnS and the question was if the new 26" specific one would work on the old style 26ers?

Impressive looking product and I really appreciate the made in USA build quality and the innovation of the bottom plate (gotta love when a company with a good product is still trying to make it better).  Probably falls below a rotisserie on my want list just because I can do some of what I'd use it for (like indirect then searing) with stuff I have and I do smoking on my WSM, but it is certainly on the list.

Yes, yes I was mistaken about that.

Now, on to the next question for @ABCbarbecue ... given that the 26 SnS has a way to contain charcoal on the bottom, what about one with an integrated ring such that a charcoal grate wouldn't be needed? Let's say the ring was adjustable/configurable to fit any 26, so that certain persons with flat top 26ers could ditch their drooping, non-replaceable charcoal grate? Maybe we'll go a step further and wish for a ring with a few cross bars so that drip pans can be retained?

We've actually thought about the integrated charcoal grate, just really don't think it'd have that big of an audience.  The next items on our plate are a drip pan and a base plate for the standard SnS.

I have a package waiting for me when I get home. Unboxing pics to follow!

Only had time to take it out for pictures tonight. Tomorrow night I'll do some cooking with it.










Nice comparison to the SnS standard.
