Slow n Sear 2.0

Then why is the slow and sear 2.0 the same price as the old Slow and Sear plus? If the this is a cheaper steel then why the same price?

That's a very good question. I really think there are some cost/manufacturing variables at play. That said, I would like to see this as a cheaper alternative to the 304 Stainless SNS lineup.

OK!////////////// @ABCbarbecue . Let us know!

Lots of good comments here, and I know change is always treated like it's... change.  Here are the facts.

I have spent 3 years trying to improve the design of the original Slow 'N Sear, reduce cost, and improve our capacity to manufacture.

Over the last 3 years our costs have continually gone UP though we have kept the price the same.

The Slow 'N Sear 2.0 offers the following improvements:

20% more water capacity in the reservoir
30% more sear zone with the reservoir removed
Reduced ash buildup in the charcoal basket due to an improved bottom plate pattern
Reduced warping due to overbored rivet assembly that allows for flex during high heat cooks

We did make a change to 430 SS, which is a bit cheaper than 304 SS, however, we use the SAME GAUGE of metal, which is what's most critical.  Both metals have the same coefficient of expansion when heated and the same melting point.  430 SS actually melts at a little higher temp.

The new Slow 'N Sear has the same 10 year warranty as the old Slow 'N Sear and is made of MUCH higher quality material than the porcelain enabled carbon steel lid and bowl of your kettle.  The SnS metal is not the weak link in this equation. 

The new design is better and with time I'm confident you're going to love it as much as I do.

Very well explained. Sounds like a great product.

I like the idea of a bigger sear zone.

@ABCbarbecue Thanks for taking the time to respond. Good to hear it is the same guage.

Yes, as the others have said, thanks Dave for weighing in. We're a picky and cautious crowd here, but I suspect you already knew that!
