SnS Grills was founded in 2014 and from the start, their focus has been on helping their customers make better backyard barbecue.

The "Magic" of the Slow 'N Sear®
The Slow ‘N Sear® is the revolutionary kettle grill accessory specifically designed to convert your kettle grill into a smoker and a blistering hot sear machine - ALL WITH ONE DEVICE!
At first, a simple-looking accessory …but dig deeper and you’ll find thoughtful innovation designed to make your backyard barbecue simpler and tastier than ever. Slow n Sear® customers estimate that they use, on average, 75% less charcoal with the Slow ‘N Sear than without it. That’s big savings over the course of the summer barbecue season!
Charcoal basket
- Curved to contour the kettle for maximum charcoal capacity. It holds more than twice as much fuel as a standard charcoal basket!
- The space between the outer wall of the basket and the kettle wall creates an effective insulation barrier keeping heat inside the grill rather than heating up the air outside the kettle. This means more efficient charcoal burn at low ‘n slow temps (225° – 250° F) providing 8-10 hours of cooking on one basket load of fuel.
- Curved and angled basket walls encourage fuel to nestle together evenly as it burns down. The closeness of the coals contributes to efficient lighting from one coal to the next
Water reservoir
- Acts as both a heat shield to keep temperatures consistent on the indirect side of the grill and a vessel for water when moisture is required for low ‘n slow cooks.
- One quart capacity lasts for 5+ hours at 225° F. V-shape design ensures consistent steam production for 5+ hours at 225° F.
- Removable to allow for an expanded high-heat sear zone when needed (in the Deluxe version only).
Drip 'N Roast Pan
- Sits on the charcoal grate to catch drippings from your biggest cooks (no more messy foil!). Also aids in the direction of airflow to the Slow ‘N Sear® that helps stabilize pit temperatures.
- Roast pan – use on the indirect side for roasting – the darker surface delivers a perfect brown exterior. Great for roasting veggies!
Slow 'N Sear baskets are a relatively new addition to the world of barbecue, and there is still some confusion about what they are and what they're for.

But you don't have to have a Weber grill to use one, in fact, you can use them with any kettle-style bbq! In this article, we'll answer all your questions about Slow 'N Sear baskets and tell you why you should buy one.
Slow 'N Sear baskets are designed for two things: slow cooking and searing. That means they're perfect for dishes like pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and even roasted chicken or vegetables. The Slow 'N Sear basket has a built-in water reservoir that keeps food moist while it cooks slowly.
Things you’ll notice when buying a Slow 'N Sear basket:
First, the basket is made of high-quality stainless steel - this will ensure it lasts for years. Second, warranty - this will give you peace of mind in case anything goes wrong.
Finally, make sure the basket is big enough to fit your needs - you don't want to be stuck with a basket that's too small or too large.
