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
