I have seen the videos also and it really looks interesting. My question is what cuts are you planning to use it for and how often compared to all of your other smokers/grills?
How would you compare ease of use and results of the steak using this vs an SNS with indirect heat then reverse sear?

LOVE it! I seen T-Roy use this on his vids. I love my ole Texas Pit. Santa Maria "Style" I'll call it. Stainless swing-away fully adjustable grate. That 1 inch Acme nut gets dang dang hot but it has always worked... I have had the metal and the parts to turn it into a hand crank design. Just have not had the time to drag out the welder and do it but I see some time coming soon now!

Hey Troutman
have you had any worries with the stability of your kettle when using Santa Maria accessory?
or any problems burning wood in your kettle?
my Santa Maria is still in the mail & I was kind of thinking about ( if I need to ) either getting ( or make it myself ) a table built & mount the kettle on it to support this thing better & have bench space as a bonus or may even sell my premium kettle & buy a performer for the solid base
any thoughts?
cheers

Actually the fire I build (see pictures) has the small splits on a bed of charcoal all of which is on the fire grate. The actual heart of the fire is well above the bottom and sides of the kettle. You can literally build a fire that may reach as high as 1100* F and not affect the structural integrity, it's how they design them. You may eventually ruin the grate, that's all. Now being cautious and having fire bricks wouldn't hurt but you'd have to factor air flow into it as well.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
Troutman , now that you are 6 months into ownership, how do you still like it? How often do you use it? How often do you use the kettle without the Santa Corona attachment?
What can you do with the Santa Corona attachment that you can’t do with just the regular kettle?
Where/how do you store it?

I have always wondered how well these really work over time. It seems a little cumbersome sitting on top of the Weber.

I’m thinking that I got no place to put the lid when I’m using the Santa Corona, and no place to put the Santa Corona when I’m using the lid. And it would always have to be stored somewhere when not in use, because of the chance of rain.
I really like it, but don’t see how to fit it in.

The concept of creating accessories for the most ubiquitous charcoal cooker in the world makes good business sense. It's an appealing product but since I moved my Performer "up North" to my parents' vacation place I'd have to drop $400 for one for my 26. That is more than the cost of the kettle itself. It's cool but I can't personally justify it.
