I've been using the SnS Slow ‘N Sear for a few months now, and it's completely transformed my 18" Weber Jumbo Joe. The two-zone cooking is so precise - I can get a perfect sear on steaks while keeping veggies warm on the cooler side. No more burnt edges or undercooked centers!

What really surprised me was how well it handles smoking. Last weekend I did a 4-hour pork loin smoke without adding more charcoal. The temperature held steady at 225°F the entire time with minimal vent adjustments. The thin metal construction worried me at first, but it's surprisingly sturdy and distributes heat evenly.

Cleanup is a breeze compared to my old setup. No more ash everywhere - everything stays contained in the basket. It fits snugly behind the lid hooks in my Jumbo Joe, though there's a slight gap that doesn't affect performance.

For smaller cooks (just me and my wife), this is perfect. I use about half the charcoal I used to, and the minion method keeps it burning efficiently. It's become my go-to for weeknight dinners - from quick burgers to slow-smoked chicken thighs.

Is it pricey? Yes. But considering how much charcoal I've saved and how much better my food tastes, it's paid for itself already. Just wish it came with a water reservoir!
