Slow 'N Sear Kettle review by SNS Grills: Everything you ever wanted to know!!!

- This first look review of the Slow 'N Sear Kettle reviews the pros & cons of the new SNS Grills kettle. Though not a side-by-side comparison, I draw some comparisons between the Weber kettle vs Slow 'n Sear kettle.
I think if you are a weber kettle fan, you'll really appreciate the features that were added to this kettle. After spending a few weeks with this kettle, I'm extremely excited about it. They definitely did their homework.

*****Edit 6/1/2020****
I've now received a production kettle and wanted to tell you how it differs from the prototype in this review. In a nutshell, its the same. The few changes are not really all that consequential but told you I'd notate the changes so here they are.
1. The screw that holds the vents on is painted black to prevent rust.
2. The cover on the probe port is smaller...appropriately sized for the hole it's covering.
3. The ash collection device fits more snuggly. No wiggles at all.
4. I can't remember if I said this in the video but the gasket does not come installed. It wasn't a big deal to instal, but I would have preferred the factory do it. This way the people who said they don't need a gasket on a kettle don't have to scrape it off.
5. Also the ash sweep out system is tweaked to improve ash removal in a minor way. I'd explain more but frankly it would take a few paragraphs to explain and in the end it's such a minor change, you'd read that paragraph and wish I'd just wrote what you are reading right now. lol
***** Edit 10/18/2020****
I just received the most recent version of this cooker. Basically everything is the same as of the above update except for the changes in the packaging. A few people reported problems with damage with shipping so the packaging has been massively improved to reduce it. After a lot of research, they determined the front handle was causing some of the shipping problems because it reduces the impact protection in the box so now that is user installed instead of installed at the factory. I think these changes have fixed the problem but as always if you having shipping damage, let SNS Grills know so they can take care of it. On a personal note, I have tested the cooker both with and without the gasket, and I've decided there are pros and cons to it. While it does seal the lid better, it also makes the lid feel like it's sitting on stilts and it doesn't have that familiar "nesting" feeling you get when you put a little on a kettle. I think each person will need to decide what is more important them. Personally, I haven't bothered putting the gasket on the new one, and I don't think it needs it. That's just me though
After 6 months of use, I LOVE this kettle. The smoke hole alone is a game changer.
*****Edit 1/18/2020****
I have just be made aware that the gasket is not longer included. It may still be available as a separate purchase, but check first if that is important to you)
I'm curious if you've noticed any degradation in quality from the original prototype to the production units. When I received mine and I was disappointed in the quality compared to my Weber kettle. It seems they really need to shore up QC and material thickness if they plan to actually compete with Weber. I understand being a smaller business, but the little things like a thicker top vent piece, better quality wheels and improved plastics on the handles would really help it stand toe to toe with the big guys. As-is I like it for the innovative features they've introduced but I'd put money on Weber if we were taking bets on longevity.
@@CulinaryGod The only thing I've noticed that has changed, I've mentioned in this comment.
To be honest, the longer I use this the more I love this thing! The handles are bigger and easier to...um..."handle." The wheels to me are almost exactly the same. The vents are smaller but they are stainless (vs aluminum), have more airflow, and seal up better because of the platform built into the lid for it to sit flat. Regarding the lid thickness, the SNS Kettle is the exact same thickness as current Weber. and literally all the other metal is a massive upgrade in quality. (SnS Grill uses Stainless steel vs Weber's aluminum or chrome plated steel).
I never felt like Weber's quality was lacking but almost every bit of material on the SnS is an upgrade. However, if you are having issues with the plastic bits, let them know. The customer service people for SnS are really great people.
Thanks for stoping by!
Competition is a good thing. If it forces Weber off of their laurels and encourages positive change, it's a win for us. I own a Weber Performer Deluxe and love it, but yes, the ash collector is a PIA. The 4 blade cleanout blades leave ash behind, the handles aren't great and so on... Kudos to SNS for trying to improve on an industry stalwart. 👏👍
I would agree with you if these were made in the USA like Weber. They are made in China with a made in the USA price. No thanks
@@rogwheel I bought a Performer Premium Weber, it's made in China Spanky!
@@mikeperth8027 hey SPARKY, according to Weber’s website they make their grills in the USA “with U.S. and globally sourced components” so if the grill you bought was made in China is must be a fake copy. You have 16 subscribers and 3 videos so you are a blip on our screens
@@rogwheel If only I'd been blessed with your logic earlier.
It's obvious that Weber have sold me a fake BBQ, without your insight I would have believed it's real.
🤣🤣🤣
@@mikeperth8027 the smaller Spirit gas grills are made in China but then rest of their grills are not. By the way, “Weber have sold me” is grammatically incorrect.
Great job! Love how you cover all aspects on this Grill. Thanks for sharing. Your are the Man!
Outstanding review, brother! You’re always so thorough and forthcoming. That cooker has a ton of useful and smart upgrades to the kettle we’re all used to. Can’t wait to get my claws on one. Great job 👍🏼
Thanks buddy. I really appreciate it.
Excellent review Justin and I do love the SnS grill. I’m going seriously have to think about this one. Nice job as always! Keep the videos coming!
Looks nice but it cost more and doesn't come with a slow and sear . I'm disappointed was hoping for a purpose belt kettle for the slow n sear.
Ok, I LIKE IT... I like it a lot 😍 Thanks for the video justin.
Thx for watching, my friend.
Guga please make a video with Baby Back Maniac & T-Roy Cooks
@@BabyBackManiac you two would make an awesome colab, less dewww itt
@@authorityfigure1630 someday. We actually talk about it all the time. It’s just I’m in Dallas and he’s in Miami.
@@BabyBackManiac well whenever it happens I’m sure you two will make it great.
I'm very impressed with all the sns grills I've seen. Thankyou Justin, glad to see you vlogging again!
Thank you, Kris.
Great review man. Thanks for taking the time and energy to show us what SNS is up to. Some things on this kettle seem better than Weber like the thermometer placement and the no-squeeze ash catcher. Will be interesting to see how it sells at this higher price point
Justin, thanks for breaking down the pros and cons in such a clear, concise, and comprehensive way. Dave (aka SnS) is smart to have you as his product review spokesman. That said, the SnS grill seems like a good product that still needs some mods. The quality of material, temp gauge placement, four legs, and shelf are solid. The dome height and grill size (22”vs 24-26”), which impacts capacity, overall height, and lack of SnS deluxe demonstrates a degree of limitedness in my opinion.
Appreciate critical input.
Great review Justin. I think there are many improvements on that kettle, especially the probe-port and the thermometer location. Scrolling down the comments and I will say, that this grill is made were Webers have been made since 2012 or so. Knock-off? I'll call it more of a spin-off... BGE stayed very stagnant until the competition (which look like orange BGEs) started nibbling at their butts with all of the improvements. I have owned Weber kettles since I was 18 years old, and still, love them. But, the lid thermometer is worthless if you're doing an indirect cook. Anyone that owns a kettle will agree. I do think Dave should have included a slow n sear, but I'm no businessman so... My Jeep is the same color, so I have no complaints about that!
Thanks for watching man
I definitely agree the thermometer is in the right spot on this grill, but the Weber one is not worthless, even doing indirect slow and low, you just gotta use the grill enough to dial it in and know where it's at. I can see why people might not want to bother with that though. It's sort of like, if you know your meats, cooks, and have enough practice, you don't really need a temp probe, though one can help. Cheers.
@@WR3ND Guess I need some practice then because I can't tell the temperature of the indirect side with the thermometer hovering over burning coals.
Could be. Even above the coals with them going, there's a range from about 250 up to 500+. For me it generally ranges between 275 to 325 above the coals' side for indirect slow and low once it's settled down, and I'll fiddle with the vents from there. This is on my Weber Premium kettle. Oh, also I generally use the regular Kingsford and the Weber charcoal (I prefer the Weber charcoal, but can't always find it), if that matters. Cheers.
I put permanent marker marks above the ash basin and above the one-touch handle for how open the bottom cleaning vents are and generally have the top and bottom vents open about 1/4 to 1/3 for indirect slow and low.
Thanks For previewing my New Grill Justin! Love it!
lol. You're welcome, Tom.
Tom Horsman
I was just thinking. I wonder how soon Tom will have one of these?
Pre-ordered mine last week! Can't wait for it to get here but I will settle for some cooking videos for now. Thanks for the run through!
My pleasure.
Enjoyed the video. Very thorough review. It looks like a great product. I haven't read all the comments so I apologize if this has already been asked/addressed. Is it the height of the shorter weber premium or the taller master touch? If it's shorter it would be nice to have the taller height. Will the Weber rotisserie work with the SnS kettle?
That’s a great looking kettle. Love the modifications that Weber should have made years ago
Totally agree. Just a little TLC.
The price doesn't seem worth it to me
If she cant ind you handy, forget about the handsome part! lol! but if you have more money than brains! this is the kettle for you!
279.99 and doesn't even come with a pre installed slow n sear which I totally figured would be the case. So many people bbq successfully on a weber with some mods that this price point doesn't seem a value.
Sweet B Roll man! Killing it. Great review overall, very informative.
A SNS Kettle should definitely come stock with a Slow n Sear. Doesn't seem right to not include it standard. Also I could never understand why premium grills don't come equipped with a premium temp gage like Tel-Tru.
Great video
Agree, how do you not include the Slow n Sear with a SNS Grill. I'm in the market for a kettle and would have jumped on this one if it was included with the price. I'll just go with a Weber and add the Slow n Sear for less $$$ or about the same cost depending on the model. Including the Slow N Sear as stock to the grill would have really separated them from the competition and would have easily grabbed them additional sales for this grill.
💯
I’m think the opposite. If they added the SnS it would undoubtedly force them to raise the price and force people to buy something they may not want or already have.
It would raise the price and most of their preorder customers are going to be SNS owners already...So they decided it made more sense to let people add it if they need it but not force people who already own a SNS pay more for something they don't need.
@@BabyBackManiac That does makes total sense.
True story:
A few years ago my fiance and I went shopping at BMW. She fell in love with an X3 and I fell in love with an X5. So we gottem both. The next day we realized her X3 didn't come equipped with BMW's famous "halo eyes" lights. Apparently that was an "upgrade". 😳 Just doesn't feel right to have to be upgraded for something that should come standard. She kept the X3 but late at night my X5 could be heard teasing her.
Thanks for the video! So my old SnS for the Weber 22 will drop right in by the looks of it. Looks quality and I dig that port on the bottom. 👍
Wait. The SLOW N SEAR kettle doesn’t include the SNS?
this. Should definitely be included
Totally agree, by the time you add the SnS and drip pan you are around 400 bucks. They should offer a package with discounted SnS bundle.
That is crazy. In my opinion a huge misstep for them. How can this kettle not come with the slow n sear?!
Jah Weekes this is just a guess, but because they’re not mass producing in the quantities that Weber does, the cost of production is much higher. Remember, SNS is a small company. They don’t have the buying power Weber has
They will probably add some sort of a bundle but it makes sense to have the lowest cost base package for people who already have a SNS.
Hi Justin. Really enjoyed all your videos. I am a newbie looking into the BBQ game. I started looking at Tragers, then Kamado Joe, then the Summit Charcoal grill and now also considering the Kettles like maybe the performer. What would you recommend for a beginner that would like to try out different ways of cooking? Thanks again.
@BabyBackManiac Love your channel and addicted now that I'm going back to charcoal. Would you go with this or the Weber Master Touch?
What's the size of the bottom charcoal grate, and will an 18" cast iron grate fit to replace it? Great looking kettle!!
So you have me interested! just wondering though would you buy the SNS Kettle over your Weber Sumit? I currently have a large BGE and am moving so it is staying with the house. want another cooker that is versatile so is the SNS a good option vs the Summit? Really looking forward to your insight, especially from someone that has a vast collection of cookers!
Thanks for the review. Does it git the weber 22.5" grate? I have lots of accessories..
That color looks badass !!! Gray is my favorite color ! Was going to buy a Weber kettle but this video might have just swayed my decision !
Great review. Love it
Excellent walk around and review!
Great video again Justin! I like the grey color. I also like the probe port and the fan port. I have been a Weber guy for years and about a month ago just purchased a new Performer 22 with the fold up table. I would have purchased the S-n-S just because it has the fan port already built in. Great review.
Such cool features on this grill! That ash collector...So awesome! The gasket is also such a cool addition! Thanks for sharing, Baby Back Maniac! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
These features are very well thought out, I have 8 weber kettles and just about everytime I cook I wish they had at least one or more of these new SnS features. Great job with the review also.
Me too. I've done a lot of them myself. They really thought this through
@@BabyBackManiac I've done a bunch of different mods to a few different kettles but none of them have all this. I have to admit though...it is some of the fun of being a part of the Kettleheadz
I noticed that they sell gasket material. Is it a more premium gasket material? or does the lid have gasket out of the box? Just curious if they stopped putting gasket on out the box. I was looking at getting the deluxe package deal. Seems like it's cheaper than buying a weber and then getting a new SNS grate and deluxe slow and sear
Will the Weber Gourmet Barbecue System 22" Cooking Grate fit on this? Can't give up my Vortex.
Great review. Your video and editing skills are some of the very best out there. I'd pay you to teach me! Yer cookin' ain't too shabby either!
Basic Weber Guy here and just gave my 22” Black Weber to a former neighbor during a move so I am in the market for a new grill. Never heard of SnS but it’s caught my eye from your video. I’ll give it a serious look before buying my new grill. Thanks for the review. Looking forward to seeing you cook on it soon.
Thanks for this vid! I'm buying one!
What about the accessories that are designed for the Weber Kettle i.e. the Rottisserie ring or the Santa Maria attachment? Would they fit onto this SnS Kettle?
Question. So the thermostat is not dead on. So how far off was it? I need to know if i could live with it or have to dish out more $$ for a better one. Thanks!
BBM! Love all your vids. I am wondering if SnS is planning on making a 26inch version. This would be ideal for me with the slow and sear xl.
Is there any reason to get the sns kamado over the sns kettle? It seems that once I start cooking sns-style, the extra ceramic becomes less important. Would you disagree?
What an excellent video Thanks
Justin, I know that this is an older video, so hopefully you read this... But... can the lid bail be positioned so that the lid goes to the back of the grill, instead of to the left.. Also I like me heat to the rear not left or right. is this easily adjusted for.
So farfrom this review I'm really liking what I'm seeing
Thank you for finally mentioning the ash catcher which other reviewers failed to mention. I will buy this grill just for that alone besides all the upgraded features. Thank you.
Anyone have any opinions or thoughts about quality of brisket coming off a Weber kettle vs that coming off an offset?
Can they be comparable? Are you losing anything by using kettle with slow n’ sear?
Is there value in having to babysit the logs and temp constantly for 12 hrs or is it marginal?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for sharing. When my existing kettle gives up the ghost I will have to consider SnS.
This seems pretty cool may have to add it to my collection next! Great video Justin! Side question another grill i have had my eye on and would love to know your take on it is the new Masterbuilt Gravity Fed grill what do you think? Would you do a review if you were able to get one?
Keep an eye on the Ballistic BBQ channel. Just sayin'
Just purchased the new SnS22” Grill. I read that they fixed the small leak and don’t need a Gasket? Is that True.? But they don’t have gaskets at this time..
This looks great. I might have to send my performer on to its next home. I already have all the SNS accessories I need to really kit this our proper.
Wondering if it's possible to attach a gas assist charcoal starter through the "smoke hole".
Are the bottom vent scraper wings and especially their connecting assembly stainless? This is the first thing to rust up on me in my Weber.
Great over view of the SnS kettle Grill Justin. I couldn't help but laugh that you put that kettle on a box. When I met you ... you are a lot taller than you look in your videos... I am sure you said the same about me LOL... I would love to get my hands on one of those for sure. It looks fantastic and well thought out. Take care Justin!
View to a grill
LOL. Take care Johnny
Ok, so I've been watching a bunch of your older videos and I know you answered this question like 2 years ago, but I wanted to get your take for 2020: if you could only have 1 grill, which one would you choose?
Do aftermarket grill grates for the weber kettle work for the sns kettle
I am being super indecisive about which grill I should buy! I’ve been looking at the pk original and the sns slow and sear kettle……your thoughts?
I'll be definitely buying one, since the pre order one doesn't come with all the accessories I want I'll wait. There will be a deluxe model after it comes that has all the bells and whistles. SnS grills, you knocked it out of the park I feel and the color is awesome!
That color is beautiful! What's the venting lever like? Is it easier to identify if your vents are at ¼ vs ⅓ vs ½ open?
About the same as the Weber...which is why I like using that smoke hole thing.
Just got my Sns grill and put it together. I noticed in the video he says it comes with a gasket. Has anyone got one recently and didn’t get a gasket? Did they quit including one?
Been cooking with a weber for close to 40 years the best things I see that weber needs to do is 4 legs and a gasket on the lid been thinking this 4 years Thanks for bringing us all the new stuff that is out their I enjoy it
Nice review Justin! That is what I like about SNS, they take grilling to the next level! Stay Safe!
I just got mine on Christmas 2022. Mine doesn't have a gasket on the lid. Getting ready to lit it up right now.
Have you ever used a Napoleon kettle grill? What are you thoughts
Dave must have read my mind. I bought a Craigslist performer really cheap. I put two tel tru thermometers on opposite sides of the lid. I also bought the lavalock gasket to seal the air leaks. I can run my slow n sear so steadily now its awesome. Grill looks really nice, if I were in the market for a new kettle, I would strongly consider this.
For me, when my current kettle dies, ill prob just try and find another cheap used kettle and modify it to my hearts delight.
MrPanthers23 Sounds like a fun project! Have fun
TFS, I wonder if the Craycort 22" grate would fit it?
Good review. Just a note...there seems to be an issue with the bottom "star" vent cover. The cover is hollow and lifted on both ends, so even though you close off the vent holes, air is still allowed to flow. Webers don't have this issue because their vent cover is flush with the kettle surface from end to end.
👍⭐️Terrific review. Fun video too. Thanks. 💝
I know you have a lot of Weber kettles . If I may ask what makes them so good? Do all the new ones come with a hole to mark smoking temp and grilling temp. One more question have you seen a Charbroil Kettleman?
As far as what you were saying about the positioning of the vent and thermometer, The Weber kettle and cooking grate is designed exactly how it is meant to be used. The Weber is designed to have your heat zones on either side and your cool zone to be in the center. The vent and thermometer is always over your meat. The Weber is not designed to use an SnS. That SnS grill is designed to use an SnS, hence the way the vent and thermometer are positioned. Looks like a nice grill. Thanks for sharing.
Right, but the kettle also wasn’t designed to maintain low and slow temps like that…which is why one side often goes out when smoking. So over time people often eventually gravitate towards just starting with one healthier fire on one side which is easier to maintain and keep lit on smoking temps (and also leave you a little more cooking space on the grate.)
That’s where the thermometer placement becomes an issue.
I just bought a new kettle master touch series. So I'll be good for awhile. I do think placing the thermometer below the vent is a very smart move. The ports are a nice add on as I intend to put a port for a thermometer in mine. 🤙✌🤟🖖
@BabyBackM@niac...Do you think it would be possible to take the grill off the stands, and put it into a Weber table? I have the Weber Performer Deluxe, and I would buy this if I could install it into their table.
You sold me. Getting one
Great review! I didn't know this was in the works. I suppose they could redo the grate supports to have another inner bend to hold the grate in the center better. I love the color and the extra leg for support. I don't find the price too crazy, but would love to see a bundle price with the grill and S&S.
The SNS grill has a lot of great features. I wish Webber had some of these these. However my Webber 22in. Performer, for the price, is , I feel the better value . I have been using my Webber for over three years and purchasing a slow and sear insert and grate, has given me what I need in a grill.
Your video was very informative. Thank you for your insight.
Any idea what cover would fit on it (and won't blow away in the wind)?
Is there markers for opening vents. I think I saw X O X on ask catcher Look pretty good. I have all this added to my 20 year old kettle except the 4th leg which I think is a god send
Where did you buy the table there in your video that is standing beside the grill
Ok what I want to know this vs the 26inches Weber which would you get?
Awesome looking Kettle! I love the shelf and the ease of the ash catcher.
Thanks, buddy.
Hair cuts tomorrow! lol
@@BabyBackManiac a real man would've let his wife cut his hair!
lol.
For the first time since 2008 I have enough hair to actually comb.
I think I need one of those SnS Grills. I'm guessing it's about 22.5 inch? Sorry if you mentioned the size in the video. I did watch the whole video, but didn't hear it? Hope you're doing well Jason. I miss my little buddy!!!! Cheers!!!
Lol regarding “Jason.” Yeah it’s the same grate size they sell for the Weber kettles. Talk care, my friend. Miss ya.
He says it at 6:56 ;-)
Do the bottom vents have a good air seal? They look a bit “gappy” especially close to the centre which would make temperature control on windy days or when shutting down an issue. I think we will see a Weber MasterTouch with a lid seal and a couple of holes for probes and Guru coming along fairly soon (I hope) and given the decades of proven quality and longevity, is where my £££ (sorry $$$) will go
The grill on the box seems to actually be at a nice working height. Would be nice to have a "tall" option.
After watching yours and "Cooking with Ry's" vids on this kettle, I pulled the trigger and got my SNS and LOVE it!!! You didn't mention in your vid that you can get it in left side or right side table as well...I went left side myself...been learning to smoke meats with mine and it's going GREAT!!! I've had it about 3 months now and am having a blast using it along with my Weber Genesis Gold gas grill. Just can't have enough grills!!! Looking for a great offset, then a artflame type plancha/combo and maybe a Kamado cooker...we'll see how it all shakes out. Great vids Justin!
Nice looking kettle. The height of the lid dome seems shorter than Weber; is it? My experience with porcelain coated grates is that they eventually crack, especially with coals sitting on them, or just weather effects over time. And all those darned extra holes...nice to have, but as a long time owner of several kettles, I've need to plug the few holes I have now to dial in better air flow. When you need to go WOT for searing, yes, the more holes the better; how snug are all the vent hole covers?
im so interested to dive and get one provided that your pros & cons being considered by manufacturer. one thing I would like to try to suggest for future used to drill 4x1/4 " dia hole in "side shelf" (20lbs rated) to enable to incorporate a hard plastic or wood chopping board for stability.
nice show and tell appreciate it sir! It looks like a promising kettle for sure.
The loss of an inch in the dome could be an issue when smoking my Thanksgiving Turkey. I’m fine with the five holes in the bottom but extend the fins to help sweep the ash down the sides and into them... just a couple thoughts.
Looks like a solid product.....gotta have one!
Great review as usual :)
Thank you 🤗
I'd like to know if SNS plan to create a 26" Kettle? No problem with the 22" , but I also like to have larger Kettle with the same features that the 22" Kettle has.
Nice review. I am impressed with all of SNS Grills products. I received the SNS Grills introductory email on this model. I asked customer support if they new if my Cajun Bandit rotisserie for my Weber would fit on the SNS kettle. The answer I received was they do not know and will be marketing their own accessories in the future. My Cajun Bandit rotisserie was not cheap (because it is very well made and reverses to fit my WSM) so consequently I can not justify this kettle at this time. However, I am sure that many kettle fans will appreciate and want this kettle for its quality and well thought out. features.
You got me at, "Close enough for government work." Subscribed!
great review my man
Imo theres a lot to unpack from this. The fact that it doesnt include the sns 2.0 and its made in china for the same price or more as usa made weber is deal breaker. The improvements seem like a solution looking for a problem. The table is nifty and the lid holder is novelty. Theres nothing wrong with webers baskets they are very functional in a 22 kettle. I get 2 to 2.5 hours of burn time from one basket. That's plenty of smoke for ribs, chicken, seafood, etc. And if i need more smoke time i swap out the baskets. I dont worry about a water pan. I spritz frequently. Its better to spend the sns bag on meat, charcoal and pratice.
Tldr; Keep your weber and spend your money on practicing your technique.
Speaking as a Weber fanboy.....this kettle grill has my attention. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Weber Guy here as well... SnS has my attention too.
Well , now I guess you will have to send me that little Ranch kettle ! Dave's new kettle looks pretty good. I can't wait to see you do a full cook on it !
By using the smoke vent with the power fan wouldn't it blow ashes all over your food?
Good looking kettle with a lot of the features that kettle modders have come up with over the years. I especially like that they used my full sweep vent mod. Smoke one for Phil today.
I love the color.
G'day Justin, great review on these SNS Kettles, I've been made aware of these only a few days ago and have also discovered that they are available down here in Sydney, Australia.
Like you, I've been very much a Weber enthusiast for many years and looking at your backyard, I'm well and truly outnumbered for toys lol. but these new SNS Kettles look the goods. How does the metal feel, do they feel as solid as a Weber? I compared a 22 inch WSM once to the 20 inch Pro-Q and the WSM just felt more solid so was worth the extra money for me. The importing retailer that bring the SNS Kettle in Australia sell them as a bundle with the SNS Charcoal holder, griddle cover and a few other niceties for rrp $699 AU, yes everything is super expensive down here. A Weber Master Touch Plus with deflector plate and charcoal ring is now $625 AU. Sheeeesh!!
