Clear and concise but completely covers the topic. Great video, Ryan!

Thank you for mentioning waiting for the smoke to clear before putting the meat on! I failed to do this on my first cook and the meat was too sooty tasting! I learned from my mistake and this video validated it!

Long overdue video! Clear, concise and to the point. Love the Slow and Sear!

Love this channel. Bought my Mav 50 thermometer and used it xmas morning with a 20 pound stuffed turkey and having that remote in the house while it was 20 degrees outside was awesome! Dialed in a perfect 325 degree heat for 5 hours and the bird was perfect. I need to get my slow and sear next!

I just want to say thank you for this awesome device along with the drip pan. These two accessories have made my kettle grilling experience even better. I plan on buying the spin grate also.

Got it as a gift. Love it. Still learning how

Thanks! As a new owner of the SnS I appreciate this compilation of all the methods so I can easily refer to it.

Absolutely love my Slow & Sear! Best investment I’ve ever made in regard to my passion for outdoor cooking. However, what I DON’T love, is the way the hinged grate separates, and literally falls off, every time I open it to add or adjust charcoal. Turns an amazing product into a nuisance!

Nice tutoril! Glad to see Mr.Parish bringing aboard lots of different pros

Ryan could use a little adrenaline. That's a lot of chill! Haha.

I just got my S&S 2.0. I am using a Napoleon Pro Rodeo, the kettle is slightly deeper because it has three setting for the cast iron grate. I was using my brand new Fireboard to monitor grill temp both in front of the roast and behind. I set my S&S up like this. Set my roast in when it hit 225 f. The temp just kept climbing. I was trying not to lift the lid but when it hit 300 I had to look. All of the coals were lit! No wonder the temp was climbing, I had to quickly start removing coals till I could get the heat under control. I am not sure why all the coals lit up. The Napoleon is brand new and this was my second cook on it. Knowing how your equipment cooks is most important and it was stupid of me to try a prime rib when I had not even cooked on it enough times with the S&S to know how it burns coals and how many I need to get to a certain temp. I am actually going to do some testing with no meat and get back to you. Every piece of equipment is different my Napoleon cooks different than a Weber Kettle, this was something I did not expect. Your video is well done, just wanted to remind people that if they are using anything that is different than a Weber you need to experiment first! By the way once I got all the coals pulled out of there the cook went just fine. Totals coals I needed was about 20 - 30 but I am going to do a test on that because I want to do a Boston Butt soon.

I would LOVE to see this for your Slow N Sear Travel Kettle because the smaller size means lower temps are more challenging. AND for some reason, y'all didn't include the water reservoir so things are a bit wonky when trying to maintain 225.

Thank you!!! I just pulled that trigger today for my Slow-n-Sear!!

[isa-bvms]

Good stuff! Thanks for the information!

Great video! I learned most of these the hard way but nice to see a video for start up bbq fanatics. We dont all live down south with 3 generations of bbq experience. Nice set of tips wrapped up in an easy to understand video. Bravo Zulu

Fantastic video, clear and concise. I just bought my nephew his first Weber kettle, and his first SNS. He is a complete newbie this video is going to help him a great deal.

[bartrogers]

Why is it that in the second method you say you don't want the initial smoke from the charcoal but in the first method all the unlit charcoal smoke will be on the food as it slowly lights. What's the difference?

[stevensharpe]

Great video, thanks. I love my slow & sear.

Mine is arriving tomorrow with the griddle/drip pan. Great heads up on use. Thanks from Antrim Glens NI
