Discussion: SnS Grills Kettle

[kettlebb]

I'm curious if you tried any prototype with 3 legs instead of 4?  Minimal number of points to make a plane is 3 which is why 3 legged stools or kettle don't wobble. How stable is this cooker?

It's a Facebook video.  Not sure how to share it here.

Link does not work

Of the 46 videos on Facebook's SnS Grills, which video is it? I saw the "The Slow 'N Sear® Kamado Grill," posted 5 weeks ago, there's no "SnS kettle grill, on that video.

Wobble & stability are not really the same thing.  Basically, it should be more stable with four legs.  In other words, a bit harder to tip over or blow over & likely able to carry more weight. 

More importantly, Weber is kind of well know for going after companies making a kettle having 3 legs.  I've never read their legal filings, but will probably get around to it one day, just out of curiosity.

Interestingly, they never went after that H. E. Bremer Holiday Grill that @brewtownbeatdown wrote about.

Probably cuz George Stephens & Harold Bremer went to NYC to party together, since they were friends, under the guise of designing their kettles.

Yeah, I read that in your write up and it likely is one reason.  Another reason might be that even if they were not friends, Bremer's product wasn't really much by the way of competition.

I find it interesting from the trademark perspective.  It might potentially raise some interesting trademark issues.  They might all be kind of moot at this point (MAYBE), but might possibly have been more of an issue around the Happy Cooker litigation if HC had been aware.

Where is it made?

In all seriousness, at the end of the video he did say they would be sourced over seas, not sure if he said China.

[RRRanger99]

It sounded like he said "wuhanchina," in one muffled breath. But it could've just been an explosive sneeze, because you can barely hear someone say "bless you," in the background, and the guy holding the camera said

"gazoontite!" right afterwards.

Looks like a Landmann grill.

Just a heads up looks like they are having a little sale over at sns grills. 40% off their Maverick ET-732 Thermometer and a couple other items

Not sure I agree, the Landmann grill looks like something for the dump in 2 years.
