My name is Andrew Gedris. I live in Ottawa, Canada. I've always enjoyed cooking over fire (even when I was doing it all wrong!). I used to use a propane bbq, but when it broke down, I started dabbling with charcoal - my preference currently. I'm the proud owner of 2 Weber Kettles - a 22 inch and a 26 inch. Amazingribs.com had become a beacon of light in my quest to turn out ever better bbq.

Welcome to the Pit! There are lots of Weber users with plenty of tips. I do some grilling on my Jumbo Joe and low and slow and the rest of my cooking on a Big Green Egg. You will have fun in the Pit. -

Hi Fuzzydaddy - thanks for the welcome! I've seen it mentioned on Amazingribs, but don't have one of my own, yet. May drop hints as bday approaches. I wonder how it compares with the grillaq. They seem similar.Comment

I'm not familiar with the grillaq. I do have 2 weber kettles, each with a Slow 'n Sear and love it! Charcoal management/efficiency, temp control, low-and-slow, searing is easy. Their website is http://www.abcbarbecue.com if you don't already know.

Gedris, Welcome to The Pit! Another Weber User Here! We have 2 - 22 1/2" Kettles, one has the S 'n S accessory, a DigiQ-2 Temp Control and a SS Baffle Plate that directs the air flow under the coals in the S 'n S! If I remember to put the lid on the Weber Right the Temp is scary stable!
For your info David Parrish the David Parrish is the President of Adrenaline BBQ who manufactures the S 'n S, Huskee Aaron(Moderator) also is in the mix as well! If you elect to try a S 'n S I think you will be pleased!
Eat Well and Prosper! From Fargo ND, DanComment

Welcome Gedris! We're glad you're here. The grilllaQ was created by one of the original kickstarter backers for the Slow 'N Sear. Sadly, he decided he'd rather knock off the Slow 'N Sear and is now selling an inferior product (in my opinion). Here is why I feel she Slow 'N Sear is better
1) The SnS is made from 5 lbs of 16 gauge steel and is very heavy duty. The knockoff is light and flimsy in comparison. The higher thermal mass of the SnS helps maintain more stable temperatures.
2) The SnS has a built in stainless steel charcoal basket. When searing, this basket focuses radiant heat upward for an unparalleled sear and acts as an insulator during low and slow cooking.
3) The SnS has a charcoal basket. When smoking, the metal wall of the SnS and the metal wall of the kettle act as a double wall insulative barrier (think double pane window in a warm house on a cold winter night). 10+ hours is not uncommon on one load of charcoal.
4) Customer service. Just check out our reviews on Amazon and you'll see we stand behind the product and support our customers very well.
Thanks for asking the question. May I ask where you found out about the grillaq?Comment
