SNS platinum package
So ordered the platinum package along with grill cover and cast iron griddle. I couldn’t be happier, I had an offset smoker before this. I heard so many good reviews about the Sns that I had to purchase one. I’ve smoked ribs and sausage so far, soo good. I would recommend the Sns to anyone.

Observations on the SnS Kettle and SnS Deluxe Insert
I bought an SnS kettle and bought the SnS Deluxe insert and Drip n Griddle separately (basically so I could maximize the sales price on the accessories). I've had them all for 2 weeks now and cooked on the kettle 6 times now, including cooking a Tri-Tip, Ribs, Pork Butt, Chicken, Chuck Roast for chili, and pork chops. For comparison sake, I have been cooking outdoors with a Hasty-Bake Gourmet since 2011, which came after having used kettles, gas grills, and a Char-Grill offset for many years. I also have a Weber Smokey Mountain, which I've been using for 6 years, or so. So far, each cook that I've done has turned out well. I have not done burgers or steaks yet. Those are coming soon. Here’s what I’ve learned. I like this cooker so much, I’m going to use it as my primary cooker for the next 6 months and see where I’m at. Things I’ve seen right off the bat. It is easy and fast to get this cooker going. Pour some charcoal in the SNS, pour some hot water in. Add some smoking wood and a tumble **** starter. Light it. 30 minutes later, your SNS kettle is at 225, smoke rolling, and you are putting on whatever you’re cooking. It really is that easy. Amazingly easy. It took me 20 odd cooks to learn the Hasty-Bake and 10+ to learn the WSM. Today, I’m pretty comfortable with the SNS after just the first 3 or 4 cooks. It seriously conserves charcoal. In the first 4 cooks, and a total of 18 hours of cooking time, I only burned about 10 lbs of a 16 lb bag of KBB. On my Hasty-Bake I would have gone through a whole bag of Fogo or 2 bags of KBB for the same cooks. The SnS plus insert turns out great food. Flavors are good, quality is consistent, and it's as good, or better, tasting as anything done on the Hasty-Bake or Smokey Mountain. I highly recommend the SnS Kettle with the full set up (Kettle, SnS 2.0, Drip n Griddle). This thing is pretty awesome and does 95% of what the Hasty-Bake does. It’s only drawback is the amount you can cook on it, compared to other cookers. But there’s literally nothing for the price that is going to be as good. This is the best all around cooker you can get for this price, period. And I haven't even mentioned the side shelf (great feature), 4 legs (very stable), or the smoke and probe ports (fabulous not having to drill holes). I won't be getting rid of the Hasty-Bake, it's the best I've ever had. But I can see that I won't be using it as much as in the past.

Works great, needs much better build quality and/or oversight
Pros: I've reviewed how efficient this kettle is and how well thought-out are the design features like the smoke hole, probe port and side shelf. Without adding a gasket to the lid, once I close all the vents and put the lid on, any remaining coals left over, go out pretty quick. I've reused more charcoal than I can believe. And a longer cook needs very little adjustment once you hit your target temp. I'm also impressed with out accurate the thermometer really is. I don't rely on it since it's just a bi-metal probe, but it's surprising that it's actually pretty good; I only trust digital probes. I bought the grill without the Slow 'N Sear, since I already had one of those, and that's what makes kettle grilling so amazing. Cons: But I have continued and ongoing concerns about quality control. Originally, there was missing finish on part of the edge of the lid, the charcoal grate is not sized correctly to sit on its supports. It's too big so it actually rests on the walls of the bowl, and takes some fiddling to get it to sit level. The slots cut in the bottom of the bowl aren't smooth and small bits of metal protrude into the kettle, so operation of the ash sweepers/vent covers only worked in one direction. When I tried to move them in the opposite direction, they would bind and stop on the rough edges. I had to bend up the vanes of the sweeper a bit to get them to move freely. The handles of the cooking grate aren't located in good alignment with the hinged portion of the grate, so the hinged portion hits the handle when I open it. This is pretty minor, but just another quality control issue. The covers for the probe port and smoke hole don't seem to fit flush to the body of the kettle, but so far doesn't seem to affect temp control, so maybe that's OK. Most recently, I saw a funny spot on the outside of the bowl, and when I touched it, a chunk of the finish fell off. It lines up with a spot weld for one of the cooking grate supports on the inside of the bowl. There's also some rust developing on the "stainless steel" rack on the bottom of the grill. I received the grill in July, keep it covered when not in use, and these new problems are showing up in mid-September after only using the grill 6 - 7 times. I was really going back and forth between this kettle and the similar priced unit from WBR, but opted for the SNS b/c of the design features and how great the Slow 'N Sear is. I also like to support smaller business when I can. And AmazingRibs gives the kettle a good review, too. The company was great about the initial concerns and sent me a replacement lid, and we discussed the other issues to my satisfaction. But this recent failure in the finish points to the a lack of quality control being performed at the factory, or just cutting corners. I went back and read reviews of the WBR grills, and these issues just don't come up. My experience has been the same as so many others regarding the quality of the product, despite how it seems to work in the short term. I just don't know how long it'll last. How about we bring manufacturing to the US, oversee the quality of the materials and manufacturing processes? Some of would pay a bit more for a higher standard. I'm hoping these are just growing pains, but those pains shouldn't equate to a lower standard product and pass the pain along to the customer.
