Slow 'N Sear® Deluxe Kamado

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!

This grill is amazing. I've used it in the dead of winter and the hottest days of summer, and it maintains the temperature so well! I've grilled, smoked, baked bread, and used it as a pizza oven. It's seriously worth every penny. I use considerably less charcoal than any of my past grills because it's so efficient. A friend came over recently and I said "Do you want to see my baby?", and it honestly took me a second to figure out why she was surprised when I showed her my grill and not my 18 month old daughter. Have I mentioned I loved this grill? lol Assembly: Other than the weight, this is super easy to assemble. My husband, who complains about all of the things I make him put together for me, actually thanked me for finally "ordering something that was made properly". SNS' customer service is top notch too. One of the accessories I ordered was missing from the package and as soon as I notified them about it, they sent a replacement via overnight delivery. Couldn't ask for better customer service. I'll never get rid of my trust Weber kettle grill. And as a mom with a toddler, my gas grill serves a purpose and allows me to quickly grill lunch. But the SNS is the best.

Was considering SNS Kamado and Kamado Joe. After reading thru many reviews, I decided that the SNS Kamado was the best choice. I already owned the Slow 'N Sear for the Weber kettle, and was definitely a fan. Putting the multi-zone technology into a quality built Kamado seemed the way to go. After receiving and assembling it, I was not disappointed. Quality throughout. Multi-zone cooking at its best.
