SnS Grills Slow ‘N Sear Charcoal Basket

The Slow ‘N Sear Original is specifically engineered for the dimensions of 22-inch Weber Kettle grills. While it may physically fit into other kettle-style grills, the performance and airflow management are optimized for the Weber design.

The basket acts as a containment wall for your charcoal, keeping the fuel concentrated on one side of the grill. This creates a dedicated high-heat searing zone directly over the coals and a spacious indirect heat zone on the opposite side for roasting or smoking.

The basket itself is designed to hold enough charcoal for long cooks, but you will need a reliable thermometer to monitor your grill's internal temperature. Using a water pan—which often fits alongside the basket—is also recommended to help maintain humidity and stable temperatures during low-and-slow sessions.

The basket is made from stainless steel, so it is durable and resistant to rust. After your grill has cooled completely, you can simply brush off any ash or debris, though some discoloration from the heat is normal and expected with use.

Yes, the basket takes up about one-third of the grill's footprint. This leaves the remaining two-thirds of your grate available for indirect cooking, which is perfect for larger cuts of meat or vegetables that require gentler heat.
