I have to agree about the SNS+ being the best accessory for a kettle out there. Love my vortex too but SNS is just out of bounds. Slow smoke for a reverse sear on one side and grill fruits and veggies for a salad over the hot side at same time? Yep, easy peazy. It's like having a trailer smoker (not a large one)with a sear box too, all in a 22" kettle.
