From the website:
"Can I take out the water reservoir during a low ‘n slow cook so I can hold more coals?
We don’t recommend it. While it’s the perfect place to hold water, the reservoir also functions as a double-wall barrier between the coals and the indirect side of the grill. Removing the reservoir during an indirect cook will create “hot spots” on the indirect zone that would not be present with the reservoir in place."
Is there actually any empirical evidence for this? I really like the basket functionality of the sns but I'm not convinced that I will need the double wall or water reservoir for indirect cooking.
@ABCbarbecue Kudos on the redesign. It looks much better from a mfg standpoint without giving up on quality.
