- Fantastic SNS Kettle Grill, Packaged well and easy to put together! Great to partner with SNS Grills!
• The grill arrived packaged beautifully and every piece inside was packaged nice as well.
• Assembly was not too bad and for me who usually takes twice as long to put things together, this was not too bad. I did make a few errors and had to redo some step, but overall not bad.
• I probably did not come across as good as I wanted to on the legs, but compared to other kettles, these legs were a dream to attach! So easy.
• My first thoughts are this was well thought out and has some great improvement over the other kettle I had. I still have it, but shortly our daughter’s fiancé will be taking this home with him along with the slow ‘n sear and the griddle.
• We will continue to review this grill as we start cooking! Stay tuned, we have a bunch planned in a short amount of time to show what this can do!
• We did partner with SNS Grills and received this grill at no cost. Our job is to give an honest review and that is what we will do. The Slow ‘N Sear bronze package was purchased by us.

Hi - I just assembled mine yesterday. You're supposed to twist that ash clearing handle so it is at twelve o'clock / six o'clock (not 11 o'clock / 5 o'clock). After inserting it, you have to sort of twist it and then kind of force it so that it snaps into place so that the bump on the rod slips into the slot on the small part #11. This is assuming you've got the small part (part #11) underneath the bowl positioned correctly per the instructions. The directions are not clear on this but the graphics do show how it should be even while it's difficult to understand. See pages 16 & 17. The way you have it, the ash clearing rod could work its way out eventually. Hoping this might help others who are assembling this. Thanks for the vid!
Mark Ennes Thanks Mark! That is a great explanation on how to do that step! I actually fixed mine after it pulled out when I was using it. I would agree, that was the one step that was not the easiest to follow along. There were a lot of parts, but all pretty east to follow! You will enjoy your new grill. We post a video on this grill every other cook right now. Please feel free to post more, I am just a backyard griller who likes good food and always try to make it better each time! Cheers!
That helps as I just put mine together and the ash bucket came out. I will flip it over and do that again and that should do it . thanks!
That’s a big backyard dude. Wow.
We live in the country and I like a nice backyard, plus I like to cut grass most of the time. It does take some work, but nice when we want to do something fun out back. My wife and I both golf, so we will chip at times. We also just like to hang out in the back! I actually just got done cutting. LOL Thanks for watching! Cheers!
That’s one heck of a birthday gift Craig! It looks like a cool kettle and curious to see how well it does. Looking forward to seeing you cook on it. Have a great weekend brother and keep on grillin!
Pickles BBQ Thanks Charley! Yes, it has been a good birthday, with the early flattop and now this great grill! Plus my wife also got me a nice bottle of vodka that will get cracked open very soon! We have some videos ready to go and will release our first cook tomorrow morning! Cheers Brother!
Hahaha, great intro and Happy Birthday! That grill looks killer! Glad you got a new one, you deserve it buddy!
Comparison Cooking Thanks Kevin! I have always been a fan of the Slow N Sear and like what they are doing as a company! Thanks for the Birthday wishes, just worked out that way! Cheers!
Nice build. Good luck with it. Happy Birthday.
Jim Morace Thanks! Yes, it has been a good birthday with this showing up when it did and my wife getting me the flattop as an early gift. A nice vodka will be happening soon! Cheers!
Thanks for another great review....been thinking about getting that grill myself!!! Look forward to the videos on the cooks on this grill!!!!
Robert Bouch Thanks! We have done a few cooks already and so far it is working great! The improvements are really nice and you will see a few cooks this week! Cheers!
Now I have to convince my wife that I need this grill. I love using my slow n sear on the Weber.
frailinryan LOL Good Luck! Tell her the food will be even better! Part of the reason we are giving my other kettle to our future son in law was so I could get this one. I have reached my wife’s limit on the number of grills I can have on the patio! LOL Cheers!
That definitely looks like a well designed and quality built grill!
Harmon Heat It sure is Justen! It has been getting used hard and doing great with everything I have cooked! Cheers buddy!
Nice looking grill!,, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! yay!
Ba Bill Thanks! Yes, this grill is very cool and the upgrades are very nice! Soon time for Vodka-O-clock! Cheers!
Hey Craig, I did like the beginning... I saw where you were going with that! Picked one up myself... got it Wednesday... still in the box. Thinking of picking up the bronze bundle also... I do have an older SnS and DnG though. Nice that you partnered with SnS. I do like there products... for me it made grillin'/smokin' simple, kept the grill cleaner and made cleanup easier. Thanks for the vid... you did a good job!
Biggs' Home Cookin' Thanks! The beginning was our fun way to show this off! I have been a big fan of SNS for a while. I am hoping this goes well with them and can do more in the future! Their products make grilling more convenient and it just makes sense! Cheers!
Love the magic trick lol 😂
Smoking Dad BBQ Thanks James! Not the best magician, but we had fun with this. Thanks for watching!
Awesome magic trick 😂 and seems like a nice grill 👍
meatthecook K. Thanks! I am not the best magician, but we thought that would be fun! We actually did some cooks already and it is working nice. The improvements are really nice on this kettle! Cheers!
Man o man i'm looking forward to this:)....
The Gallery Backyard BBQ Thank Tommy! We put it through some cooks already and they will be out very soon! So far I am liking the upgrades! Cheers!
Nice review!
Tom Horsman Thanks! Looking forward to see what you cook on yours! We did 3 cooks already and I like how the improvements work! Cheers!
Oh, and Happy Birthday.
d307p Thanks Dave! They keep ticking along!
If it wasn't for this Corona virus, I'd like to test the SNS. Unfortunately you cannot buy these grills in Switzerland. It looks very practical, the attached table with shelf.
Christian Ginsig Thanks for watching! Yes, this virus has changed a lot of things we were used to! It is great to reach Switzerland! The grill’s upgrades are very nice and like you said very practical. SNS Grills does a great job improving the grills! Cheers!
You can buy in Switzerland from Totally BBQ. Www.tbbq.co.uk 🙂
Steve Stafford Thanks for posting this and helping out! The BBQ community is pretty cool the way everyone helps out! Cheers!
Christian Ginsig Just wanted to make sure you saw Steve’s post, but he listed where you can by this grill. www.tbbq.co.uk/ Just Incase you did not get an alert about the post!
Mine is coming tomorrow and I can’t wait! Did you season your grill before use? And if so, what was your process?
I didn’t do an actual seasoning, but I do put a load of charcoal in and play with the vents to understand some of temperatures settings will do and then open the vents and let it go until the charcoal is done to burn off any oils on the grill. Enjoy! Cheers!
I have no reason to replace my weber just yet. If SnS made one with a cart system like the weber performer premium (the one sans the stupid starter), I would jump on it right now.
I actually had the performer that had the side table, not the really large table. What I like about this table is how compact the grill is when it is folded down, but that is because I don’t need much table space on my patio. I gave my Weber to my son in law so I could add this one to my grill collection! Cheers!
Awesome video I love it. New friend to the Chanel Look forward to future videos
Reality Happens Thanks! The grill is really performing nicely, I have been using it pretty hard and trying some different cooks that will be coming out! I will be checking out your channel soon! Cheers!
Nice video, although I got a little choked up when I saw the Weber get covered up..... I was relieved to hear that it's going to your son in law though. While I really like my SNS products (SNS Version 1 and 2, two SS drip n pans and two 18" SS charcoal baskets) I can't seem to get excited about this one. But I am a Weber guy with over a dozen vintage and modern kettles in various colors and I love the Americana feeling and being able to share their history over cooks with family and friends. I guess you could say I'm a sentimental grill guy. All that aside, I love your channel and am looking forward to seeing you cook on this. I'm thinking if you had a '69 fire engine red or chocolate mist kettle there you wouldn't give it away or trade for a new chinese model. I appreciate and look forward to some honest reviews on this..... cheers and happy birthday!
Bamakettles Believe me, we appreciate the fact you take time to watch our video and glad you like them. I am sure there are many more fans out there thinking the same thing you are. We still have a Weber gas grill and I just got the Jumbo Joe this year. I do like improvements and my history with my previous kettle was only 2 years. My son in law is looking forward to getting it and I am also giving him the slow n sear and drip in griddle that I got for that one! So far, this grill seems to be very well built and I do like the improvements that are on this grill! Cheers!
Killer looking grill. In my research on it I love the 4 legs. The 3 legs on my Weber allow it to move around a lot when I’m cleaning the grates. The folding side table is money. My question is do the 5 fans on the bottom move all the ash out? Another problem with the 3 on my Weber is that there spots those 3 fins never hit. Thanks! 🍻
DrTasteGoodBBQ Thanks! The grill is awesome! Yes, the 5 blades do a nice job removing the ash. It actually goes completely over the holes on both sides. Not like the others! We have some cooks coming out soon! Cheers!
Great video. Thank you. Question, looks like the lid head space is shorter then the Weber. Meaning can’t do a 4lbs beer can chicken. Can you confirm?
Thanks! Sorry for the delay, but I knew the SNS did have lower profile, but I no longer have the Weber here. I did remember a video that showed this, just watched again. The Weber has 3/4” more clearance from the top of the lid to the grate. I have not done a beer can chicken on either, so I wanted to give you the measurement. I usually do my whole chicken spatchcock. Hope that helps? Cheers!
Curious if the elevated cooking rack works on a Weber. I really like that option.
BEER/BBQ/BASEBALL My answer would be yes, I have done 3 racks of ribs with the slow n sear in the grill. 2 racks on the main grate and one on the extender rack. You do have to reposition them since the temp is different between the 2 levels. I have also done a full grill of chicken and used the rack, again with the SNS in. It is a pretty cheap option to get one, I did get mine from SNS Grills. Hope that answers your questions? Cheers!
just got a wewber master touch,,why should I get a sns kettle grill?
Ken Roman I am in sales, so let me give it a shot? LOL With you getting a new grill it would be a tough sale. What I like about this grill is the improvements they made over the Weber. Many users modify their grills with a port hole for the probes, the smoke hole for their electronic temp controllers and some have put in an extra temp gauge at the vent. This has it all and the ash bucket is much easier to empty. Weber is a great company, but has not done much to improve the kettle. What I like about SNS is all they do to enhance the grilling. As you can tell, I am a big fan, but it is because of what they do. The reason I bought my Kamado Joe years ago over the Big Green Egg was for the same reason. BGE did not do anything to make grilling better, KJ put in all kinds of improvements. How did I do? Cheers!
It must be midnight. A new video has uploaded.
d307p Yes, wanted to get his one out as soon as we could! We plan to have cooks come out on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday on this. Cheers!
Very Nice Video 👌🌺🌠
Sitara Khan Status Thank you! Cheers!
@@beers-jackofbbq u most welcome 🌠🌺
Did not show the ash clean out install?
At the time we shot this, it seemed to be a simple step and the instruction sheet made sense to me, so we did not show this. We found out later this step had some confusion for some? We tried to show what we thought mattered, sorry if we missed a step you were looking for! Cheers!
@@beers-jackofbbq just ordered one! thx.
@@jamesomalley4556 That is great! You are going to like this grill!
So you have the original slow and sear and the new one. Which one would you choose off the shelf (construction and features)?
Paul F For me, I would get the new one, 2.0. I like that I can remove the water pan for normal cooks, usually getting a nice hot fire going and it give you more room for searing. I use the water pan for the longer low and slow cooks. The construction on both is solid. Hope that helps! Cheers!
@@beers-jackofbbq thank you for the speedy reply that's the same answer that I've seen several times which is good. Images I've seen of the original seem heavier and stronger. I've heard the boss's explanation of the change, being everything you said your opinion helps thanks. I have 2 cookers and I'm lost between a 22" 26" and a komado, either SnS or Weber. Family is everything
Paul F Picking the next grill is always tough. Not sure if you saw our videos on the SNS Kettle, but we have a bunch out. Not saying this because we are an affiliate with SNS, but their Kamado is nice and you can treat it like a kettle and also do everything a Kamado can do. When I first started, I bought a Kamado Joe, Big Joe. Fantastic grill! But then I bought the Weber Kettle for quicker cooks. With the SNS Kamado, my opinion is it is a good crossover. Good luck to you!
@@beers-jackofbbq the impression I'm getting from komados are great fuel economy but a tricked out kettle can do almost as much and for less than a grand, is what I'm leaning towards. A little annoyed that Weber didn't save me a light blue 26". Thanks for your help
Paul F Yes, my Kamado Joe is very efficient! But you are right, a loaded up kettle will do everything you want. Good luck!
What model is the black one at the very beginning?
That is a Weber performer. Here is the link for when we did the unboxing. czcams.com/video/Y_EKZWKS2CE/video.html I have actually given that grill to my son in law. It worked great, this one just has a few more things that I was looking for. Cheers!
@@beers-jackofbbq Thank you and please keep up the good work!
@@utilitymaximizer9026 Appreciate that and thanks again for watching!
Big enough to cook for 6? I’ve narrowed it down to this or the 26” Weber.
Benjamin Shipp I am going to say yes! I looked back at some videos and we had 16 chicken thighs on with the Slow N Sear in the grill. Maybe 6 full size ribeye might be pushing it, but 2 full chickens will fit for sure. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Awesome, thanks for the information!
Benjamin Shipp Anytime! Plus they have an extender rack that will give you more room as well!

Sitara Khan Status Thank you! I have helped your channel as well! Cheers!
Not a Weber..Not a BBQ
Brian McGuire Appreciate your comments and hopefully you watched some of the video! Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!
i am sure it is a fine kettle but it is made entirely in China. Sometimes we have no choice but to buy products from China, in this case there is a choice. Please consider your purchases carefully. There will be a very high price to pay for Chinas cheap products.
Thanks for watching and appreciate the thoughts. SNS is a small veteran owned company and I like the improvements they have made on the kettle. I agree with you and wish it could be made in the US, but for a small company to compete choices are limited. Cheers!
*Beers-Jack of BBQ* Awesome vid. If you had One wish. what Would it be? let's build each other up xd
SuperAngel Thanks for stopping by! I will have to check out your channel soon! Cheers!
