As a longtime Weber kettle grill owner, I thought I had my grilling game down pat. I could sear a perfect steak, grill mean burgers or even (with some work arounds) smoke a pork butt, but there was always a nagging feeling that I could be doing more. Then, I discovered the Slow 'N Sear basket – a revolutionary accessory that transformed my beloved Weber into a two-zone cooking powerhouse. It was a game-changer, allowing me to achieve true low and slow smoking alongside high-heat searing – something my single-zone Weber just couldn't manage.
But then I saw the SNS Kettle Grill. It takes everything I loved about the Weber and combines it with thoughtful upgrades that make a world of difference. Don't get me wrong, my Weber with the Slow 'N Sear is a fantastic combo, but the SNS Kettle offers a few key improvements that call to me. They are simple upgrades, like the Lid holder, or the easy spin grates that are just brilliant and make grilling more convenient.
Now, you might be thinking, "Why not just buy a Slow 'N Sear and use it with your existing Weber?" That's a valid question, and for those who already have a Weber setup, it's what I would recommend. However, if you're starting from scratch or looking for your first grill, the SNS Kettle offers a complete package that eliminates the need for separate purchases.
In fact, whenever someone asks me for a first-time grill recommendation, and their budget allows for it, the SNS Kettle Grill is my top pick. It's a fantastic investment that will take your grilling journey to the next level, offering unmatched versatility, convenience, and durability. It may seem like a splurge compared to a basic kettle grill, but trust me, the build quality, two-zone cooking capabilities, and thoughtful features make it a worthwhile investment that will pay off for years to come.
