SNS Grills Slow ‘N Sear Deluxe for 22″ Charcoal Kettle — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SNS Grills Slow ‘N Sear Deluxe 22″ Kettle Grill?

This is a 22″ charcoal kettle grill that comes pre-equipped with the patented Slow ‘N Sear Deluxe insert, enabling two-zone cooking: a searing zone and a low-and-slow zone. It merges classic kettle design with enhanced performance for both searing and smoking.

What are its key features and specifications?

• **Slow ‘N Sear Deluxe insert** preinstalled for concentrated heat and better searing control.
• **EasySpin™ grill grate** (22″) with a hinged section for direct access to coals.
• **Side shelf** rated for up to 20 lbs of food (e.g. brisket, pulled pork)
• **Lid cradle**, **five-vent ash removal system**, **smoke hole** and **probe port** for advanced airflow and temperature control.
• Porcelain-enameled body and a larger charcoal grate for more heat when the Slow ‘N Sear insert is removed.
• Airflow control via top & bottom vents, plus swing-out port covers.

How do I use it most effectively?

• Use the Slow ‘N Sear insert to confine heat to a smaller zone for searing, while maintaining a cooler side for indirect cooking.
• For smoking or low heat, load charcoal into the insert’s basket and use the water reservoir (if installed) to regulate heat and reduce flareups.
• When doing high-heat cooking or needing full grill sear, you can remove or bypass the insert to expand the fuel area.
• Use the hinge in the grate to add or adjust charcoal mid-cook without disturbing food.
• Monitor and adjust vents, smoke hole, and probe port to maintain your desired internal temperature.

How should I maintain and care for it?

• After each cook, let the grill cool slightly, then burn off residue or brush the grates while still warm.
• Clean the Slow ‘N Sear insert, water reservoir (if used), and removable parts with mild soap and water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Inspect seals, port covers, and vent mechanisms for wear or debris.
• Keep the porcelain-enameled bowl and lid clean; avoid harsh abrasives that may scratch coating.
• Store in a covered or sheltered environment to protect from the elements when not in use.

What are the advantages and limitations?

Advantages:
• Combines high-heat searing and low-and-slow smoking in one kettle design
• Simplifies two-zone cooking with a built-in insert
• Easy access to coals via the EasySpin grate hinge
• More flexibility — can be used with or without the insert depending on cooking style
Limitations / cautions:
• The insert reduces total fuel area — for very large sears or high heat you may need to remove or bypass it
• Water reservoirs or insert components may require occasional cleaning to avoid clogging
• Care must be taken to prevent warping from excessive heat cycling
• As with all kettle grills, managing air leaks, vent adjustment, and charcoal quality are key to consistent results
