I just wanted to hop on the Slow 'N Sear bandwagon. The first thing I cooked with it was a 13lb full packer brisket. It was an 18 hour cook, Kingsford Charcoal, with Jack Daniels Wood chips. It was overnight this past January. It was the first time I smoked a full brisket, and the first time in about 2 years that I've done an overnight cook. And the first time I've ever done an overnight cook in the dead of winter. It was just under 40 degrees, so not below freezing, but enough for me to enjoy the heat coming off of the Weber every time I went out to adjust the intake vent.
The meat turned out amazing. I've never been a brisket fan, really, but my wife loves it and I love her. But, man, even I was like "holy smokes, this is incredible!"
The S'nS was incredible. It held between 225-230, on ONE fully loaded chimney, for more than 10 hours. I couldn't believe it. I remember first reading about it and feeling dubious that it could really last 8 hours. But getting 10 out of it blew my mind. And the crazy thing was, when I went to reload it, judging by how much charcoal was still left, I'm 100% certain I could have gotten another hour or so without a reload. But I wanted a nap, so I filled it up.
This is, after the duel temp probe, the best smoking accessory I've ever gotten. I've been trying to convince people to check it out and get their own since my first cook. Just yesterday, someone was raving about the "snake method" and I linked them to the S'nS site and told them it would change their world. I really cannot sing this things praises enough.
Anyway, here's some pictures of that brisket.
