Discussion: SnS Grills Kettle

[LightningBoldtz]

Lotta hate in this thread, for no reason.  Yes our new kettle is Porcelain, and everything about it is high quality.  It works much better with the Slow 'N Sear than an unmodified Weber kettle for people that want to use the kettle for low and slow smoking.   Believe it or not, most people don't want to mod their kettles.  We've had the request for a dedicated grill from MANY people, and we're making it for THEM.  A few of you weberheads just need to get over yourselves. lol

I just reread this, not a great response considering many Weberheads buy a lot of your products.  Not sure if it was written in the way it reads (text does not convey emotion) but this doesn't read well at all.  Best of luck to you David.

Price point is targeting under $300 with a Slow 'N Sear and our EasySpin grate as part of the deal.  Hopefully that video link I posted is working as I show off a lot of the key features of the grill.

This new kettle is really targeting folks that are new to BBQ.  Our marketing message today is complicated.  We have to tell them "go buy a kettle with 5" of clearance between the charcoal grate and cooking grate, and a circumference of 22" or more, and then go buy a Slow 'N Sear".  Once we have our own kettle, we can tell them to just buy our grill and they'll be set.

We're not trying to go head to head with Weber.  I still have many Weber products and have no plans to get rid of them.  We're just offering a one stop solution our customers have been asking for.

No go on the video unless you are a Facebook member. I am not. Regardless, I have spent more on your products than I have spent on Weber kettles over the past couple years. Not a lot, but given the limited nature my discretionary budget, that should not spell hate in any way. I have promoted your products in this club and with friends and family. They work great with Weber kettles. Agree with @jhagestad however, this is a WEBER kettle fan club. We do talk about other brands from time to time that are alternatives to Weber in the charcoal world, and there is plenty of Weber bashing that occurs here when they do things that rub us the wrong way. I did not suggest that this is an inappropriate topic here, just that it is off-topic as it relates to WEBER kettles. Of course, that suggestion was killed. Can't fight city hall. Maybe you should start your own club/forum? Good luck competing with Weber and good luck selling your stuff to Weber kettle lovers.

I like having those accessories included, the port for ATC unit is nice, the slide aside and table are all nice touches? 

Next question, colors?  I assume probably limited.

I guess what frustrates me is... I didn't start this thread!  Y'all are acting like I did.  I just popped in because someone tagged me.

Might be hard to see in the vid but the color is grey, same as our kamado.

That's fair - I assumed you were part of the initial posting (as they had tagged you). Having read the beginning of this thread again, I can see that you did not seek out this feedback. My apologies to you for having made that assumption as that totally baffled me.  But just we're clear, I still don't consider the opinions to be "hate" and I don't think the resulting insult was warranted. Just my two cents. Thx.

I am not trying to insult anyone.  Who wants a group hug?  I'm in!

I own a SnS plus and ordered the XL and the SS basket for the 18 inch.  Not seeing hate on this thread, but not sure people trust other kettle type grills.  Lots of junk out there.  But, I think people are open to stuff that is well made.
