SnS Grills released the Slow 'N Sear Travel Kettle. They know I love the Weber Jumbo Joe so they sent me one early to review. When you compare the Slow 'N Sear Travel Kettle vs Weber Jumbo Joe you immediately see it's more premium than the (already excellent) Weber Jumbo Joe. In this video we break down all the ways the Travel Kettle by SnS Grills expands on what is already great about the Jumbo Joe by Weber so you can decide if you want to pay more to get more.

Will they throw in a Santa hat? Because that would just about seal the deal for me!
Gonna order one. Thanks for reviewing it!
The Slow N Sear, where it was made and manufactured?
@@adspie is built in China. Designed by Americans, sold by an American company that employs many great Americans… And one friendly Canadian. Lol
To be blunt, If they made it here, nobody could afford it and all those people would be out of jobs.
The slow and sear now is $159.00 and the Jumbo Joe is $75.00....that's an $84.00 difference. Plus it's basically for camping or small meals, so I can't justify an extra $84.00 for basically the same thing. But another awesome video!! Keep up the great work man!! Love your vids!!!
We can get 2 weber for the price of 1 SNS
Just watched this again after almost a year. Definitely chock full of great information plus so far the price hasn't gone up on the SLO N Sear! Justin delivers such "on-target" info that this video is very much worth a second look especially for beginners! 👍👍👍
Glad I bought my Jumbo Joe last year, on clearance at HD. I talked them down to $39 CDN. Still to use it. I plan to do Tom Horsman mods and bought the wooden handles to attach to the vents, the WSM silicone port hole covers and a step drill bit to make the holes, and a temp gauge. Keep the vids coming Justin. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas.
Great review Justin! Well thought out kettle for sure!
Thanks, Rus! Appreciate you watching!
I found a smoking deal on a jumbo joe portable but haven't used it yet. This video has inspired me to make some improvements and get it ready for summer. Thanks for posting this review😊👍
David has taken everything that's made the Weber Kettle great and has made it greater. I mean. Weber could have so easily made these subtle changes to their kettle line-up but for some reason, they choose not to. My guess, the all mighty dollar. Oh well. That's why we have a free market for the small guy to make things better. Nice job and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Exactly!
I could see them adding the nicer vent with the plastic at the top and putting the kettle ash sweep in the bottom. I doubt they would do some of the other thing SNS does like the smoke hole and probe port. I'd like to see the bucket style ash collection on both of these as I like it much more. That would probably mean they would have to switch to more normal legs that are likely a little longer than the ones are on it now.
As on 2022, Weber still uses the single 3 holes lower vent without a handle. They would be best off using the "sweep and clean" three finger vent on the bottom mainly because the small tab on that vent is very old and dated ideas. I have seen many of the Weber "Original" Kettle models with home made handles on both the upper and lower vents due to the dated design factor. Some of them are very sweet in design and materials ! I agree, there should be a standard sized thermometer hole in the lid with a silicone grommet plug as standard equipment and that would allow the customer adding there own thermometer or not. Problem is without the hole, you cannot drill a hole into the porcelain without damaging the glass coating which will allow rust over time so after some time outdoors, it'll start to flake off the surrounding porcelain. But, considering the use of this Jumbo Joe, its a picnic type of bbq that would be used not very often although, I would use this 18" version much more often for 2 people BBQ's vs. fire up the big ones.
Awesome video!
Thanks, Max. Merry Christmas!
Great review!
Thanks for the comparison review Justin, definitely a few nice upgrades on the SnS👍 thanks for sharing, have a great one brother, you all stay safe!👍🍻
Thanks, you too!
Great little kettle there. Perfect for the little outings I enjoy. Great video Justin!
Thanks, Greg! Yeah, it's fun
Great review - I love Weber - I've got a kettle a G.A and a WSM but they have rested on their reputation for to long without making any significant improvements on their older designs. SNS taking things to the next level with loads of upgrades.
I love your reviews. You really nail the information the a serious BBQer needs. I have the Jumbo Joe, but will be buying the Slow N Sear. I think Weber need to lift their game especially here in Australia.
Thank you Sir for this video. Selecting the SNS from this review. Solid job!
Great review! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I added a thermometer on my Weber by drilling a hole in the lid where I wanted it. Works like a charm! 🙂
Nicely detailed explanations of pros and cons. Grilling newbie here. This is really helpful. Thank you.
Great comparison, I didn’t realize there was such a big difference in the charcoal grate! And the tabs on the vents and ash sweep are a no brainer, tired of putting on my gloves to adjust anything! Can’t wait for mine to show up! Cheers!
You'll love it, man! Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas
Good review mate - thankyou, handy kettle indeed!
I have the jumbo joe and I love mine. Like you said it’s so underrated. Thanks for the video
Justin! That's a great review and overview of the new Travel Kettle! IT'S SO FUN and a must have for sure!
You guys have amazing products, I just wish they were more available in Canada. I’m looking at the SnS 22’’ with accessories right now and all those little refinements it has over the Weber makes it an easier pick. This travel grill beat my jumbo joe on features.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video comparing the two. I just got my SnS Travel Kettle with the accessories and I already have been a Jumbo Joe user for years. I think that SnS addressed the shortcoming of the Jumbo Joe extremely well. I also anticipate that I will be able to get the SnS grill hotter with the bigger air vents at the bottom. But I agree with the Jumbo Joe is a great grill, use it for tailgating all the time.
Great looking cooker from SNS. I'd pay the extra money for the extras you get with the SNS grill. Merry Christmas to you and the family! Love y'all and miss ya!!!!
Love you buddy.
That thing is awesome. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Great Review Thank You So Much
My pleasure! Merry Christmas, Mike!
Already have the SnS basket and added a thermometer for my JJ. If I tailgated as much as I used to I would upgrade. Really nice upgrades on this. I love that wider/deeper charcoal grate floor. Would give more space for indirect.
I bought a jumbo joe 5 or so months ago and have loved it for tailgating and small cooks (I have 5 other outdoor coolers) I have a the SNS with drip n griddle, SNS grate, and cast iron drip n griddle for my performer. Also, just today I received my SNS with drip n griddle for my jumbo joe today and after watching this I sure am bummed that this wasn’t out earlier as I would have bought the SNS mini with the bundle. I have many Weber grills and love them, but you sure did highlight the thing SNS did to bring their mini to another level.
Justin, I’m glad S&S is fixing the issues with Weber kettles. George Stephen fixed the problems with the “braiser” grills and now David Parrish is taking kettles one step further. Thanks for showing the innovations!
There are actually a lot of similarities between Dave and the legend of George Stephen. Family guy, lots of kids, entrepreneur... SNS looks alot more like Weber during those days than Weber does today (and good for them!)
Great review at this point I don't really need one. Things change and I didn't realize how big the cooking surface was, so again thanks for the review now you've got me thinking.
Thanks for watching, Ken.
Great comparison Justin! I have had Weber grills for over 30 years but SNS has taken the the kettle to another level! Great video! Merry Christmas Justin to you and your family! Cheers brother!
Merry Christmas, Jay!
I definitely don't NEED it...orders one anyway🤦♂️😭
Good things come in small packages. Great review and comparison of the kettles. Cheers, Justin!
Thank you, Dwayne!
Great review Justin. I love my JJ and I love my SNS charcoal basket. If I didn't already have that setup, I would definitely consider the travel kettle as it is loaded with features.
You have a fantastic setup, Sparky! Thanks for watching!
Great review my friend. I have been looking for a grill to keep in the camper and it looks like this is the one. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, buddy. Hope you are doing well.
Great review that being said basically the only true comparison is the size of the grill. Yes the SnS has fixed most of if not all the little issues but they have definitely charged you to do so being it’s almost $100 more in price. Not trying to start a war just making a simple observation. As I said really enjoyed watching thanks for sharing.
great video. If I ever need to buy a smaller grill I know which on to get now. The side by side was really great!
Great presentation, brother! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of those lol.
You'll love it! Seriously, this one is very special.
Good review!
Thanks James
Really sweet set up! Next on my list.
Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Same to you!
Great review. That makes me want to go out and get one from Slow & Sear!
Great review Justin, the SNS grills look amazing.
Thanks, Tom.
Nice! Nice little kettle with all the upgrades already done. Take care Justin.
Thanks, Johnny. I hope you are doing well.
That is a jam up little kettle, love the review, and your right with the cost of metals going up Im not surprised that the price will change soon on them,
We are living in crazy time, huh? Thanks for stopping by JPBBQ.
that's a great comparison. I'd love that little kettle. Perfect for road trips
I love it! Thanks for watching, KC!
Wow this looks awesome! Gotta snag one of these
SNS really does take that iconic and versatile grill, and make it perfect. Very impressed. Love my Weber products, but SNS really has it going on.
Great review Justin! Since all of my grills are on my deck with no patio cover, this would be great to use on the covered front porch when the weather is bad. I have two Weber Q gas grills, but to have a portable charcoal grill for two zone cooking and better flavor, this may do the trick.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you as well, Richard!
I like how the christmas lights in background are pointing to SnS grill
Wow Justin there is a lot of great features they took off the SnS kettle and put on the travel!! Fantastic review bud!!!! I guess I got another pit to put on my list!!! hahaha
Totally! And they stand out even more since the Weber Joe doesn't have the same capabilities the (bigger, larger) real ones have...you don't have to whip out your credit card and buy stuff to make it work like you want. You'll appreciate this alot.
Thanks for watching, buddy.
Nice review. Christmas lights on at 2:33 mark!
lol
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Same to you!
Nice! Thanx! I will buy SnS!
I think you'll really enjoy it.
For the minor price difference, the slow and sear is the best choice. It has all the upgrades you'd want!
Probe hole looks like it puts wire in charcoal, Weber still a number one as a bbq company
The probe goes into the indirect side (no charcoal). If there is charcoal there, you are cooking direct usually don't need the probe.
Weber is a great company. They are just huge and can't make niche market stuff like a full featured, portable kettle.
I bought the jumbo joe then outfitted it with the sns charcoal basket, sns hinged grate, and sns drip n griddle pan. I added a lid thermometer and wood vent handles (Etsy). I did this for one reason. The Weber is slightly shorter than the sns and I had to fit it in the side compartment of my motor home (it clears by less than an inch). 👍🏻. Plus I’m just a Weber fanboy.😎😂. I also built a griddle that fits inside it with the lid on.
Totally makes sense. Sounds like a fantastic setup too. I'll have to check out Etsy. Thanks for the tip.
Got to get that travel grill!
My little smokey joe has vents on the side, you can also slide lid off the back and is hald in place so I don't have the problem you have, so handy for weekends
I gave my friend my old jumbo 10 years ago and it still kicking’!Great little grill. So Justin this is almost hard to believe but I just scored 4 / 22” premium Weber kettles in deep ocean blue from lowes this evening For only $44.75 each!! The clearance tag said 53.99 , I was sold and shocked at that ! and when the cashier scanned it came up $44.75 . Yes please!!! I sold one over the phone to a friend before. I got them to my vehicle!! 😎
LOL. I love that. Congratulations. That's what you get for being generous with a friend 10 years ago. lol
Jumbo Joe is $81.99 as of 12/18. Slow n seat does have some nice bells and whistles. Would be good to hear warranty differences in future videos and estimates of total cost of ownership. I.e. replacing grill grates on Weber etc. I’m a bells and whistle type of person so the extra money for slow n sear is an easy decision. If you’re on a budget Weber is always great and has excellent customer service.
Thanks for your usual great review Justin. I thought it was for sure going to rain on you. Which one of you thought up the Santa face on the lid?
lol. That was me. My wife saw me digging out the santa hats and just shook her head. lol.
Also you'll be pleased to know I filmed this a few times trying to get it right and the first time it was definitely raining. lol.
Thanks Justin I like the review. I had a Weber Jumbo Joe which I gave to friend but that Slow 'N Sear is really cool. I just had thought. With your review on these nice portable charcoal grills will you ever consider doing a review on portable pellet grills like the A Smoke, Pit Boss, Green Mountain and so forth?
Definately better airflow than the weber, may be time to upgrade the big ol jumbo joe! Great review Justin!
Whenever the time comes, it's nice to have options.
I saw Jabin's, now I have seen yours Justin. I WANT ONE! You know we love SNS Grills. Fantastic video explaining everything. One day, we will film a video with you and Dave P! Great great great job Justin! Merry Christmas
And you can go look at Greg's, also!
Hey Josh,
It's really cool. You'll love it. How are you doing? Still praying for you and some of the stuff we talked about on Hobo's live stream. Hope you are doing well.
Welp, it’s a year later and you were correct. I just bought this sweet, sweet travel kettle. And the kettle and the slow n sear charcoal basket now together cost $199.99. And for me it’s still well worth it. The quality just can’t be beat. I love SnS products. With the exception of the gauntlets, not because there is anything wrong with them. They’re great quality. My problem with them is they only have the one size and it’s way large. I’m a tiny old lady who loves to cook/grill and eat😉 Since I live alone, I’m the one doing all the grilling and those grill gloves are just to big for me to use safely. That said they won’t go to waste, my son in law is a big man, they’ll fit him perfectly.
Looks great Justin
Thanks iq!
@@BabyBackManiac We would enjoy collaborating take a look at our channel and let us know. Thanks Justin!
This would be an awesome SCA grill for easy portability at a lower cost than a lot of grills used for comps.
Great point!
I'm late to the show but as of last weekend it was still 159 and 179 with the SNS charcoal basket. I think I may need this guy in my life although I was considering cutting the legs down on my original kettle for a bit more space. When. I travel I have a lot of people to cook for and it would be great to have more space without needing multiple kettles going.
I got the jumbo Joe with the side vents at the bail wire.
The SnS is a superior grill. With that said I picked up a Jumbo Joe on clearance at the bullseye store for $28.00. it’s perfect for my small cooks over charcoal. I.E. burgers brats chicken etc. now you got me thinking I need a SnS too. You have no idea how much money I’ve spent because of your channel. ( no regerts either) carry on.😎
You said, “earnings call” and I thought I was listening to cnbc… Then I thought, “Aren’t they private?” Nope, IPO’d in August. WEBR is now on my watchlist. Thanks for the stock tip, Justin!
SnS grills has made some innovative improvements to the kettle. I have the full size SnS kettle and it performs great. However, the quality is not on par with the Weber kettle. I keep mine under my porch and out of the rain but the Texas humidity is wreaking havoc on the chrome parts like the legs and bottom shelf. I’m having rust issues. If I were to do it over again, I would get the Weber kettle and add the SnS upgrades.
I’m in New Hampshire and I’m seeing more rust on my SnS kettle than I would like. My 15 year old Weber is aging far better.
I just bought a sns with the slow and sear charcoal basket for $180. It should rock for small cooks and tailgating.
I think the "small detail" of the dome guage is HUGE. Because if Weber were to add one on future models, they would place it directly over the fire because after all these years they still haven't learned what "indirect cooking is".
Weber is just like the guitar make Fender. They do things based on "tradition" instead of innovation. SNS is like PRS guitars. Innovation with ever release.
That's a pretty cool looking little grill. Might pick one up for grilling at my buddy's house who only has a gas grill. Love that they put your hole or should I say the smoke hole in this. Good review!
lol. I almost said that in the video...then I realized it's weird to brag about your holes. lol
@@BabyBackManiac LOL, I would normally say if you got it, flaunt it but maybe not when it comes to holes. But in the SnS's case, flaunt away, it's a damn good hole 🤔
@@troyv8302 lol
Спасибо, отличное сравнение, прекрасное видео.
hey justin, do you think you can make some videos demonstrating these SNS grills in action? I'm also curious about the quality of the enamel between the two brands. Thanks
Very nice!
Thanks, Volvo!
This is super interesting, Santa might be getting one of these! Is the temp thing on the SnS an additional cost? I wasn't too sure - I could just go look, I'm being lazy lol. Great video - big thumbs up 👍👍👍
The thermometer comes with it! Thanks for watching, Peter.
Buy that Slow N Sear vent handle, put some threads on the end of it and use a stainless nut to attach it to the Weber lower vent. Would look better.
Lovely little grill. S n' S seams to know what they are doing.
indeed
love my Weber's, sns looks like a copy cat. with add ons. weber trys to keep the price down, sns is a nice grill also. sns $179.99 jumbo joe only $81.99 great review justin nice job
SnS is $159.99. You were quoting the bundle w/ the basket. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Justin, interesting comparison! I did not know SNS made a JJ equivalent. Can you confirm whether or not the ash sweeper on the SNS covers the whole bottom of the grill kind of like how the 22” kettle does. Cheers!
As a side note, buy a grill thermo and drill a whole in the jumbo joe. Mount thermo just like any other grill.
Hope S&S get color black one of these days!
I would love a 22 inch travel grill based on the same design of the 18
Great idea with the carriage bolt handles. I am definitely putting carriage bolts on my Jumbo Joe vents too.
I really like the features of the SNS kettle. Seems like it would make cooking so much more enjoyable.
Also, you listen to Weber Earnings calls? You must own some stock.
Worse...I READ the earning call. lol. (no stock...though I'm sure it's in our mutual funds. basically I was just curious.)
Now that's a sweet Kettle! How do you know those tabs get hot?😁 That grill is like the Rolls-Royce of Kettles with all the features. 🤘
I may or may not have learnt that the hard way, Joe. lol
I love my smokey joe. But this could be a good upgrade.👍
Yeah, I was in the same boat.
Again Justin you nocked it out of the park I did some of the same mods on my bigger Webber. T Roy told me that you and I live sort of close together and would like to meet you sometime.
I love these reviews. We are gonna see some cooking on the sns right?!?
If all goes to plan there will be alot more content from me next year...absolutely including this.
@@BabyBackManiac great to hear man! Looking forward to it!
Woohoo! First time being first commenter! Another great video sir.
lol. Congratulations, Christopher!
Just picked up a used Jumbo Joe for $30
and it came with a compact chimney.
There's so many cheap Weber Kettles out
there I don't think I'd ever buy a new one.
I wish they would not have discontinued that color on big one. They look like great grills. Thanks
Thanks for watching, Wayne.
I love my jumbo joe. That sns is awesome but it's not in my price range so I'll stick with the joe.
Weber stock has dropped 20% in the last month and most of it has been since that earnings call. Hopefully they can get some of those supply issues sorted and don't have to raise prices too much.
Shout out to another business nerd! lol. That plant in Poland should help over the long haul.
This just shows how little investment bankers know about the barbecue industry. Chinese plants have affected quality in a very negative way.
Steel is absolutely through the roof right now. Now that Weber is public, investors aren’t going to just “eat” (pun intended) those costs. Sadly prices will go up again soon.
I have both. My Jumbo Joe just got retired. The SnS is so superior!
Q: I'm curious that the lids 9f the two grills. Are they interchangeable?
The reason I ask is to know if I obtained a rotisserie ring kit for a jumbo joe knowing in advance the ring would fit my new SnS Travel Kettle.
I would rather spend even more and get the PKGO.
That thing does look interesting.
Price went down on weber. $81 vs $179 now. IMO, you don’t need all the bells and whistles on a mini grill like this. This is for portability grilling steaks, hotdogs and burgers. No need for fan cut outs and wire cutouts. I’d rather have a cheaper price point on a product like this.
