Slow n sear?
« on: April 20, 2020, 03:14:11 PM »
So long story short.  I sold one of my kettles with a slow n sear on accident lol good for them I hope they enjoy it. 

I purchased a 26er.  And I want to get another slow n sear.  I know its not everyone's cup of tea but worked well for me.

I don't cook over nights the longest is 6 to b 8hrs. 

I had the removable waterpan in mine. The 2.0 model.  I really didn't ever remove it.

On their site
I can get Orginal for 59.99 the 2.0 for 99.99 or pre order the XL for the 26er 149.99

I just can't make up my mind.  I don't like tossing money away where I can reinvest in more bbq stuff lol. 

I heard from guys that use the 22  sns in the 26er and love it and I heard others wish they had the XL versions....... idk what to do confused... lol help me lol

If you don’t go with the slow n sear XL, pick up a medium Vortex. It’s very versatile. You can do much longer smokes on the 26” by running a snake than a SnS.

I did not love my 22SnS in my 26er.  So I got the XL for it.  Makes a difference in my indirect cooks for sure, getting the temps where I want.  Also, BBQitall makes a ring that fits the 26er for snake type setups.

I think I would really like one. I checked their site and it shows they are available for a 26 for $57.

@JEBIV I do not have one but intend on getting one for our church 26er, which we purchased this winter in hopes of using this spring for small events.  As soon as I am able to gather people (at least a month away, according to my Bishop) I will grab one and test it out.  But, the concept looks great and, if I am not mistaken, @captjoe06 has one in a 22.

So my inquiring mind wants to know if anyone has measured how long a section of that ring might be?

I have always took my Vortex flip it upside down what it over to the side send made my fire in that for offset cooking. I just didn't want the heat leaning up against the side of the kettle. Actually works really good uses less charcoal, just something I used to do in the past sometimes in a pinch I do now.

So did you just opt to not get the SnS XL for your 26"?
Or are you using the ring mentioned above?

I have a SnS Deluxe for my 22". I prefer to use my 26" for long low and slow cooks. Would rather not splurge on the SnS XL, but thinking I might do that.
My 26" is 10 years old. I always banks my coals against the side of the bowl and after years of doing so it burned through. Luckily Weber sent me a replacement, but I don't want the same thing to happen to my new bowl...which is why I'm leaning towards the SnS.

Does anyone here use their SnS Deluxe or Original 22" in their 26" kettle for low and slow cooks for things like pork butt? Assuming you'd just have to reload the fuel more often versus using a SnS XL

I have the SnS+ in my 22 and the SnSXL in my 26er.  I like the XL for the 26er because it is built to the contour of the kettle size, and holds more charcoal, which is important to me because the 26er is more difficult to generate higher temps than the 22.  Having the extra charcoal helps when I want to crank up the heat without cracking the lid.
