Why the SNS Master Kettle?

Not all kettles are created equal. The Slow ’N Sear (SNS) Master Kettle isn’t your average backyard BBQ, it’s designed for those who want professional level results with the convenience of a kettle grill.

Here’s why it was the perfect grill for the challenge:

  • Built-in Slow ’N Sear basket: Perfect for both low & slow smoking and blazing-hot searing.
  • Durability: Heavy duty construction that stands up to serious cooking (and serious heat).
  • Versatility: smoke, sear, roast, or grill, the SNS Master Kettle does it all.
  • Precision: Dual zone cooking and tight temperature control made it easy for Nick to dial in the perfect cook.

If you’re cooking for a lion, you need gear you can trust. The SNS delivered.
