Review: Easy way to make smoked meat on a Weber kettle - This is an excellent product. Can you do the same using the snake method around the base of the kettle? Yes, but it won't be as easy to set up and you won't have a water reservoir for keeping the chamber somewhat humid during the cook. I've smoked several briskets, pork bellies, and racks of ribs and this works perfectly every time. Each cook requires maybe two fill-ups of charcoal and wood chunks to get the job done, depending on the size/weight involved. Overall, it's a great add-on to a kettle that allows you to smoke meats with no headache/babysitting.
Review: Greatest Weber accessory ever!!!! - The Slow N Sear is amazing! I have the Slow N Sear Plus for a 22.5 Weber Kettle. I just completed my first BBQ using the Slow N Sear. I used kingsford blue bag and a few pieces of hickory and apple. I have never smoked a pork shoulder in my life on a BBQ Smoker or anything for that matter. However, I have been cooking on my Weber with indirect heat for things like beer can chicken, chicken thighs, chicken drums, chicken wings, brats, steaks, burgers and dogs. I followed Slow N Sears simple directions, that came in the box, on how to light the grill for a 225 cook. Next, I put the meat, a 7.78lb pork shoulder, on at 10:51pm. I set my digital thermometer to wake me up if the grill got anywhere above 290F or below 200F. It was a little windy and the air temp was 62F. I got the temp dialed in between 225F-230F and fell asleep around midnight. My low air temp alarm did not go off until 6:00am that morning. I brushed the ash out of the way, moved the remaining coals to one side, refilled the Slownsear back up with coals. I was just reversing the process. Cooked for 3.5 more hours before I had to open the lid again. My temps were dropping a little and I think it was because I needed to get some more of the ash out of the way and through the bottom of the grate. I think it was clogging the airflow. As soon as I made sure the the ash was cleared I closed the lid and I got it ack to temp around 245-250. I only had to open the lid twice during the entire 13.5 hour cook. I Cooked it until 12:23pm. I took the pork shoulder off the grill when it had an internal temperature of 203F. I never wrapped the Pork Shoulder for the entire cook so I could get a great bark. I also only filled the water pan once right at the beginning. The water ran out and I didn't need it after it emptied from the initial fill. I let the pork shoulder rest for 1.5 hours with a tinfoil tent over top. The bone pulled right out and I could shred it with my hands. The family loved it. My neighbors could smell it from blocks away. I had some friends stop by to try it after I sent them some pictures and they all loved it. It turned out amazing! It was so easy. Two friends stopped by, tried the pork and immediately went home and ordered the SlowNSear for their own Weber Kettles. The bark was delicious, I had a great smoke ring and the meat was moist. What more could I ask for? A side note, I called Adrenaline BBQ during the cook, left a message and a real human called me back to answer my question. They were so polite, very helpful and happy to hear my cook was going well. They seem like a great company located in NC. I paid full price for my Slow n Sear and I do not work for them in anyway. I am just a man trying to elevate my skills on my Weber Kettle. The Slow N Sear is worth every penny. I am so happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this specifically made for the 18 inch weber? Or will it work on 22inch weber kettle?**
A: Yes, it is designed to contour the 18" kettle or Jumbo Joe.  It can work in a 22" grill, you'll get fantastic two-zone grilling and low 'n slow smoking.  The smaller size just means less charcoal capacity, but results will be similar.

**Q: Does it hold water?  Doesn’t look very leak friendly**
A: Slow N Sesr Plus is the only one that holds water.  Fill 3:4 of hit water in a Webber 11 inch drip pan and set it over the fire and check water ever 2HRS.  Tip close your bottom vent and only use the top vent to control heat in conjunction with a duel thermostat.  Seems to work best for me.

**Q: What’s bottom diameter—does it reduce below 15 3/4”? I have a Weber compact kettle. There is enough height below the grate but not sure if it contours**
A: I have a Weber Jumbo Joe 18 inch kettle this is made for it perfectly and yes if you have an 18 in kettle it will fit. I say again it is made for 18 inch kettle any smaller i do not know.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: Designed in NC, US.  Manufactured in Chins
