If you’re considering a 22” kettle grill, I’m going to also suggest getting the SNS kettle over the comparable Weber. I have an SNS kettle as well as a Weber Master Touch. Personally, I’d buy the SNS again before buying another Weber in the same price range. It has more useful features and feels better built to me. Our own Max Good did an excellent comparison between the two competitors. This is useful reading if you’re leaning in this direction. The prices listed in the article might not be current, as the article is a few years old.

I don’t know if it’s “the best” but I second the vote for the Weber Summit Kamado. It’s very versatile. Does everything a kettle does, and is a Kamado as well. Low and slow is not a problem on it at all. 24” diameter would also fit a pretty big brisket, or turkey, or chickens.Comment

Not sure if you want to go back to the kamado world again, but Grilla is a deal going on the Kong that looks like it is very close to your budget.

Can't find a review for this kettle on here, but looks like a good fit:

Welcome, most of us have multiple cookers for various proteins, moods, weather etc. Lately I have been using my LSG pellet set at 200 to get the steak to 100 internal. I use my Weber kettle with the Vortex to get a really hot fire and sear the steak for 30 seconds on each side. Wife absolutely loves them this way and I get a great crust from the sear. Good luck!Comment

I love my Webber Kettle with an SNS for both low and slow and for searing!Comment
