Hi everyone! Im excited to be apart of the community! I just bought a 22inch kettle with the slow n sear and im planning to do some baby back ribs tonight. Anyone have any tips for the slow n sear? On average how many briquettes do you use for low n slow? Is the slow n sear supposed to sit flush on the charcoal grate or be as close to the wall as possible? I found if i get it against the wall it drops a little bit around the grate. Thanks again!

Welcome to The Pit! I use Kingsford Blue Bag and start with 12 well lit, then fill it up with unlit (about a chimney total). I keep it about 1/4" from the kettle wall. Here's their lighting instructions page. https://abcbarbecue.com/lighting-instructions/
Edit to add: When your cook is done close your vents and it will snuff out the charcoal. I reuse it on hot cooks. I keep it stored in a metal bucket with a lid.Last edited by fuzzydaddy; May 12, 2017, 09:32 AM.

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Hello from a Dover Ohio native.
For the slow and sear just follow their directions on their website. That's what I do and I get good results. Just make sure the lid for the kettle is setting on good. My first couple of Cooks I had air flow around where my lid sits and had trouble keeping temps steady. Use binder clips to accomplish this if needed. I've gotten a bit of build up at this seal now so I no longer have to use binder clips
