The greatest compliment I know for the SnS is that a Weber 26†+ SnS will be about 90-95 percent as capable as a Hasty-Bake. I can honestly say that if the SnS had existed when I was researching and buying the Hasty-Bake, there is a good possibility that I would have opted for a Weber + SnS.

Smoked a brisket point on mine yesterday. In the rain & wind. Had to walk out there about 5 or 6 times in a ~9 hr cook. Once was to add water because I'd forgotten, once to stir the coals and dump ash at about the 4 hr mark, and once to add more coals. The other 2 or 3 times was to make a tiny vent adjustment to move the cook temp up to ~280, then to wrap it once it hit about 185. It held there for hours & hours otherwsise. It makes any size kettle a dream to make great BBQ meats on.

22" Weber Kettle w/SNS, 18" WSM, Bronco, Grilla Chimp, Traeger Tailgater, UDS, Camp Chef Tahoe Stove.
I am nuts about my wsm. I am on my second one because I didn't treat the first one with the respect it deserved and I couldn't bring it back to life. If I had known about the kettle/sns combo before I bought the second wsm, I wouldn't have bought the wsm. I have only used the sns a few times, but it is a great tool.
