Quite a few Weber Kettle owners wonder what's the next BBQ purchase?
In the past the popular next step was to buy a Kamado, especially an Akorn or a Dragon for around $500.
We now have the option to instead buy a Slow n Sear for @250 in Australia with local BBQ Guru Urban Griller selling the SnS.

This review is written from the aspect from an existing Kettle owner.
* For some people used to doing things the Kettle way, changing cooking style can be quite a jump to move to a kamado. There are lots of posts around as people struggle to get their head around it. So it is far easier for a Kettle owner to start using a SnS vs a Kamado.
* It is very easy to do a reverse sear using a SnS than a Kamado where you have to remove the hot deflector as a part of the process or you have to have something like the Kamado Joe Divide and Conquer
* During a low and slow it is a lot easier to add more fuel to an SnS than a Kamado
* Owning a SnS is a lot cheaper than a Kamado. eg $250 vs $500 for Akorn, $800 for 18" ceramic, $1700 for name brand ceramic 18" Kamado.
* Excellent reviews such as this one by well reknown Guru Meathead from Amazing Ribs. http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/slow_n_sear.html
