After reviewing 1Bigg_ER's post on the Slow N Sear (
http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=14698.0) and
after exchanging a few messages with him I purchased the Slow N Sear. I placed my order late Monday Labor Day
and received it this morning. I plan on doing a pork butt on my kettle this weekend so I wanted to test it out today
to see how well it held the temps.
I had a small rack of beef ribs which I thought would be a decent test. This is the ribs after 1 hour at 275. I ran the
cooker at 275 for 4 hours until they were done. I then shut down the vents a bit more to bring the temp down to 225.
Here it is running a steady 225 after another 4 hours. Total so far on one chimney is 8 hours.
Here is how much charcoal is left as I type this. I will see how much longer it is going to stay at 225. I have a feeling that
it may go another 1 to 2 hours. Still plenty of water in the reservoir.
No plated or finished shots of the beef ribs. I was hungry!
Initial impression is that I like this very much. I only added about a cup of water to the reservoir when I lowered
the temperature.
More to follow with my butt cook this weekend.
