SnS Grills Slow ‘N Sear Charcoal Inserts for Low ‘N Slow & High-Heat Cooking - Patented Stainless Steel Accessories for Kettle Grills - Charcoal Basket 18"

I bought the Slow n'Sear basket hoping I could smoke smaller cuts of meat in my Jumbo Joe without using nearly as much charcoal as the Slow n' Sear Deluxe in my 22" kettle. Mission accomplished. For a single rack of ribs or a pork loin or whole chicken or a chuck roast, this is a perfect setup. I've tried other methods of smoking on the Jumbo Joe, but I've been frustrated by every other method I've tried compared to my 22" kettle. The Slow n'Sear basket works perfectly for what I want to do, with quick setup and easy-to-maintain temps. Once I get the vents set, I don't have to touch them again. Using the minion method, it seems to barely burn any charcoal at all. I can barely tell that any briquettes have burned up after a couple of hours of smoking. The Slow n'Sear basket is made of thinner metal than my Slow n'Sear Deluxe. It feels like thinner metal than Weber's CharBaskets, even. That said, it's not flimsy. It's a stiff metal. It tucks in the bowl right behind the hooks for the Jumbo Joe lid holder. I don't know exactly how long a full load of charcoal will burn, because everything I've smoked so far has been ready to eat long before the coals burn out. I'd guess 6-7 hours is a realistic estimate. This doesn't replace my Weber CharBaskets, as I still do most of my hot grilling with CharBaskets. But I'm very happy with this purchase and I've been having a lot of fun smoking with my Jumbo Joe.

Bought to use on my jumbo joe 18" portable grill, makes dual zone cooking very easy, good charcoal capacity, well constructed, good metal thickness... perfect fit height and lenght for my grill... great addition to my grill... 100% recommended

Turns your Jumbo Joe into a smoker! Built to last! You can sear steaks from the heat it can put out! Worth the money!

This product works perfectly with my 22-inch kettle. The price is competitive, and the material is durable enough to withstand high heat without deforming. It is also easy to clean and store. I found that placing a metal water tray above the fire significantly improved temperature control.

Makes the difference for hot and cool zone cooking. A clean, convenient quality piece. A kettle grill must have.

Well built charcoal basket, would give 5 stars if made out of stainless. Should hold up just fine though.

does its job well

Great addition to my grill!

Excellent, c’est de la qualité..!

This fits PERFECTLY in my Jumbo Joe 18 portable grill and I have also used it in my regular 22 Kettle to do ribs and it maintained a consistent temperature for a long time. The best thing about it is it contains a lot of the mess that would normally fall through the normal grill grates.
