Slow 'N Sear® Deluxe Kamado

I have been a fan of SnS for a bit. I have the deluxe in my 22 with a DNG, the XL in my 26 and a JJ with the basket and DNG. I really gave this purchase a ton of thought against other Kamado set ups (based on the spend). It came down to this one or the Summit. After watching way too many videos and trading emails with Justin from Baby Back Maciac... I landed on this cooker. I have done about 8 cooks so far. All in the Kamado set up. I am looking forward to setting up the SnS set up this winter. I can do that with my kettles at the moment. I am very impressed with this grill. Set up was easy. The materials are top notch. The quality is really great. I have done three overnight cooks improving my output each round. I cooked through a long Midwest winter battling winds last winter with kettles. If you are looking for a Kamado I highly recommend this one. SnS, keep the good products coming and please keep investing in this unit with more options and attachments. Cheers.

I highly recommend the SNS Deluxe Kamado. I'm a first time user of a Kamado and switched from a propane grill. I found this grill easy to get started and fun to use. It has so many uses with everything included. I did plenty of research on many Kamado's on the market and found the SNS to offer way more for a better price than many of the competitors in the market. It was shipped in perfect condition and easy to assemble and get started grilling! I wish I could give this 6 out of 5 stars. Thank you SNS Grills! Keep up the good work!

I’ve had my Kamado for a few weeks now and couldn’t be happier. Wanted something I could do true two zone cooking on. After reading many reviews I settled on the SNS kamado and don’t regret my decision at all. The TurboSlow design works great and efficiency is great. Coming from a pk360 I’m using way less charcoal and not having to make nearly as many adjustments to maintain development. And compared to my campchef pellet grill the smoke quality is significantly better. Also, shipping was fast and packaging/setup was great. Hope they make a rain proof cap soon so I can cook in any weather.

Hello everyone in bbq-grill land! A few days ago I received my Slow n Sear Deluxe Kamado. My journey began a few years ago. I have had a Weber Performer loaded with the Slow n Sear products and it really became the only way I cooked outside. Over time I wanted more and I outgrew what I had. No, Im not being ungrateful here I’m a professional chef and restaurant owner and I wanted to up my game. I looked at all of the big name brands out there, you name it I studied it and then I had to ponder my style of cooking and what I like most. I kept coming back to the Slow n Sear Kamado. So I reached out to Justin from BabyBack Maniac and we had numerous conversations about whats out there and the Slow n Sear product. I wished it was bigger but bigger does not always mean better, this is something I have learned from t being in the trade. The Slow n Sear sold me because of its versatility. I ended buying it all. The rotisserie, plancha, you name it, everything! Then the nerves kicked in…we shipped the thing from one coast to the other all the way up to the Pacific Northwest to Vancouver Canada hoping it would arrive in one piece. Not only did it arrive but it was packed beautifully! Sharon in the office and the boys in the warehouse did a fantastic job. Thanks Dave for a great product!

I have taken a long time since purchasing my kamado to leave this review. I wanted to do lots of different cooks, in different temps (inside the cooker and out!), and lots of different meats. My overall impression is that this is a great cooker. It holds temp incredibly well, and I love that the cook surface size is right between a BGE large and XL. Great value for money. The first cooker I received was damaged on arrival (entire bottom was broken off in transit), but SnS did a great job getting me a new one, and removal of the old one, at no additional cost to me. The delay was a bummer, but it was handled incredibly well. Thanks, Sharon! There are a couple things that could use tweaking, hence my 4 star review. In the questions section you can see that I asked what fitting would work best from BBQ Guru or Fireboard. It was recommended that I get the multi-adapter or Pit Boss fitting through BBQ Guru. I went with the multi-adapter, and in my haste to figure out how to fit it into the vent, I started to remove one of the screws that goes into the cooker and now that one is just sitting there loose because I think the screw is drilled directly into the ceramic, not a threaded insert. My fault, and I should have realized that I needed to trim the bottom of the fitting with an angle grinder, not remove the screws. That said, I wish the cooker vent was larger and had flush screws to hold it in place so it's easy to slide in a fan fitting. (e.g., a rivet or something similar). The larger vent would definitely be nicer for airflow and cleaning. The second thing I think that could use improvement is the top vent. After many cooks and sitting in the elements it has become very sticky and hard to use. I have to really hold it in place to open the vent before starting each cook. My request to SnS - PLEASE offer a better, weather resistant vent for the top. I'd spend good money if that were an offering in your Grill Modifications section right now. Something like what KJ is doing, or even outdo that like we know you can! Last thought I have is that it would be nice if you offered a cooker-height cover so I don't have to modify the full-length one I currently own when it gets placed into a cook station. Thanks for making a great cooker! Looking forward to watching the accessories and modifications section of your site for new products!
