XL Slow n Sear

[Ernest]

How about an adjustable base? So the coals can be raised closer to the grate.

I don't think that's necessary. Even with the basket 1/3 full of charcoal you can get very high sear temps, so there's no need to get the charcoal closer to the food grate.

OK here is a pic that shows what the bottom plate looks like, BUT, ignore the screws. This is a prototype. The final version has clips that do not require holes to be drilled into the SnS. As you can see the "grate" portion will work great for small pieces of lump charcoal and the stabilizing piece that extends under the water reservoir will allow you to easily slide the SnS around without worrying about it tipping over.

I should add that the stabilizing piece is NOT connected to the water reservoir. This prevents the grate from conducting additional heat to the water in the water reservoir, which would cause it to boil more quickly than the standard SnS. The boil rate is perfect and I did not want the grate to mess with perfection.

What's the cost going to be for that screen plate David Parrish

[David Parrish]

Pricing isn't final but they'll probably run around $30.

I would like one for the 18 inch kettle so that I can take it camping! Please!

Let me know what dimensions you'd like an SnS built for the 18.5" to be.
