Well after a lot of back and forth on what grill would ultimately suit my needs, I decided to buy a 22 in premium kettle ($150 with a cover Amazon Prime) and am picking up a slightly used 2 burner spirit for the quick grills. I think between the two, I should be able to cover most of my bases. Now the only thing is if I should get that SnS or not....hmmm.....

That's a no brainer -
A kettle without a Slow n Sear is like having a basic grill. Add the SnS to it and now you have a greatly improved searing station and a legitimate smoker too. Yes I agree with Steve B... it really is a no brainer!Last edited by Breadhead; April 18, 2017, 03:44 PM.Comment

guycalleddave, You might be able to Flip Burgers or Chicken on Your New Kettle without the S 'n S but Doing for Real BBQ Without the S 'n S and a Drip & Griddle will Nigh on to Impossible! I have Been Using A Weber 22 1/2" Kettle for +- 40 Yrsâ“. I finally Learned How to Use the Weber in 2015 while recuperating in a Nursing Home from an Experiment With Basement Divingâ“. Six Mo's in a Nursing Home with My iPad going over www.AmazingRibs.Com and the PitCub Members! I learned the Benefits of a Good Leave In Thermometer Such as The Maverick et 732 or 733, an Instant Read Thermometer such as the ThermoWorks Thermapen Classic today I would Get the MK-4! All the time @ABCBBQDave owner of www.abcbbq.com
and Huskee kept extolling the Virtues of the S 'n S and the Weber Kettle! They Were and Are Absolutely Correct! IMHOP 👍👍👍👍👍

Definitely get the SNS. I love mine. I also got a Lavalock gasket which if nothing else makes the lid feel better when you put it back on the grill.Comment

Gotta go with the SnS. No regrets at all. Also, the DnG is an excellent addition!Comment

Welcome to the Pit! With you equipment you are good to cook. If you are not ready for for the SlowNSear, but want to cook low and slow on your Weber try the snake method. You can find the how to from and Aussie on YouTube.Comment

WHAT! WHAT you say man. DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT DO IT DO IT, DO IT, DO IT. You do not buy a kettle without the Sn'S. If you have the SnS, you have everything you could need to accomplish just about everything that is mentioned on this site, from grilling whatever to smokin heaven. You will have in your hands THE tool that will keep you from wishing "you could do that" , to yeah I can try that. No you won't have a Starship, but you sure will have a starfighter. I put off getting one because I had just purchased a smokenator and thought of the money I just spent. A year goes buy & I'm reading all the stuff everybody is doing with this thing & how good it is. I finally pulled the trigger, & my wife yelled at me for getting another "thing" for my kettle. I love it & she now loves it & I almost can get any "things" I want, almost, did I say almost. If it were me and money was a problem, I would buy a used kettle & a new SnS. DO IT! ðŸ‘Last edited by FireMan; April 18, 2017, 04:26 PM.Comment

To echo all said above, I would definitely get th' SNS, at a minimum, fer yer Weber...
Unless ya' have a rare, genetic allergy to stainless steel, or Great Food, yer never gonna look back in regret.
It's not a "Cool Toy" to have, it's a "Must Have" !!!Comment
