SNS kettle temp stability

[quod erat]

I finally had a chance to cook something longer/slower than burgers and sausages on my SNS kettle. And I have to say, I was disappointed in its temperature stability. Here I was all excited about buying fireboards and fans to keep those temps consistent, but this thing is so ridiculously stable that I won’t really need any of these fun tools! 😁

In all seriousness: this kettle is amazing. My oven’s temp band is 50 degrees (oscillating 25 to each side), and somehow this charcoal kettle is far more consistent than my electric oven. I may at last be confident enough to try brisket next.

Yup, I’ve had mine a year & that was the first thing that hit me was the stability. Ringing in my head was "set it & ferget it".

You had me in the beginning, not gonna lie. Brisket? Yep, it's time!

[Andrrr]

Me too. That was very well played.

Yes , it does work great! You also had me in the beginning of the post. Thought you had trouble. smoke on!

I have also been super impressed at the temperature stability. I get it fired up, close the bottom vents, open the fan port about half way, and have the top vent half way open and the thing stays at 275 for quite a few hours.
