Works fantastic for smoking brisket adds moisture and enables me to control temp on charcoal Weber grill.

I was looking at pellet smokers and couldn’t justify yet another grill on my patio. I already own a Weber kettle charcoal grill and a Weber E 330 Spirit propane grill. Came across this SNS Slow and Sear via promotional videos for it while researching brisket smoking tutorials on YouTube and was impressed with the results. The idea of a smoker insert that fit inside my existing Weber kettle being very appealing. The Slow and Sear works exactly as advertised. It turned my kettle into a very effective indirect smoker. The very first thing I did with it was smoke a brisket with Kingsford competition charcoal and chunks of mesquite wood. It’s amazing how efficient this unit is. One chimney of charcoal was all that I needed for a 12 hour burn! Just follow the enclosed instructions on adjusting the top and bottom vents on your grill and it’s darn near bullet proof. It held a steady 130 degree temperature throughout the entire burn. My family and I loved the results. Perfect smoke ring, tender, and perfectly cooked Texas style brisket. This was my very first attempt at smoking a brisket and the Slow and Sear made me look like a seasoned pro. I highly recommend this product as an excellent and cost effective alternative to spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars on a dedicated pellet smoker.

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.

Made some smoked pork spareribs for the first time with this product..Didn't need to use the water channel for this particular recipe so I can't honestly rate that part. But it worked great held the heat well, it didn't burn right through smoking wood. I'm glad I got it!
