I made a wall using two small bricks, then placed the coals between the bricks and the kettle wall. It made for a raging hot fire on one side, with good indirect cooking on the opposite side. And the bricks hold heat like a clay oven. Everyone needs a couple bricks. Yes, I said needs!

A vortex or a chimney with a grate on top will out sear a Sns any day.

So will my brick method. And you can’t beat the cost.

Agree my friend! Grab a couple bricks and you can obtain a hot sear zone at not extra high cost.The SnS obviously does the job but why waste the cash when its not needed? Buy some ribeyes;)

You dont need a SnS.  I have original Weber wire baskets and the snake method.  I get 16 hours out of the snake and plenty hot to sear with the baskets.
