Has anybody on here tried the SnS Kamado or Kettle grills?

Just curious. I'm wondering how good the SnS grills are compared to name brands like BGE and Weber.
Their Kamado comes with a Slow n Sear, griddle pan, deflector plate, and raised grate. If the body of this thing is well built, this should be a good product, at $1400. It can be set up as a traditional Kamado with the deflector or using the SnS for two zone cooking.
The SnS Kettle seems to be their attempt to upgrade the Weber kettle.

Dramatically overpriced compared to a Weber Kettle + slow'n'sear. If you got the money to blow they are well built and work, but absolutely not worth what they charge for them.
The kamado particularly is trying to solve an issue that doesn't exist. I have never, ever heard someone complain they couldn't cook slow and low or sear high temp on their kamado. Ever.
Again, good solid products but both are way over priced and one, like myself, has no reason to exist.

They made some nice upgrades on their kettle that make it more user friendly than a Weber. Not sure if it is worth the premium though.

True, but the slow and sear gives excellent two zone cooking, not just low and slow, so in that respect, it is different from the deflector plate set up. Unless you need the entire grill surface, you can get away with leaving the SnS in all the time.
That isn't why I asked, though. I was more interested in the quality. They are high priced, but if they are well built and well designed, they could be worth it.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried the Napoleon 22” kettle?

SnS can be done on the Weber no problem with foil and coal positioning. Seems like a waste of money.

Many folks disagree with that. The SnS protects the side of your grill from heat damage (it is thick and keeps the sides of your grill 200 degrees cooler), has a water reservoir that act as a buffer to separate the two cooking zones, and it is much more efficient than banking coals. Not to mention it is way easier to set up than the snake method.
Most people who have the SnS never take it out of their grill. Is it worth it? I think so.

Someone did a comparison on the SnS insert and the normal charcoal baskets you can get from Weber. Any difference was negligible. I do not think they are worth it.

I have the SnS and the drip pan. Ill be honest, if anything, they make using the kettle easier. Less set up, easy to clean and I know exactly how it will perform. For me, its worth it. The weber charcoal baskets dont hold enough charcoal IMO.

I have a Weber 22 and 26 inch kettle, and I also have the SNS (22”) and their drip pan.
I actually prefer the snake method for a low and slow cook of a full packer brisket or pork shoulder. I find that it’s easier to control the temp with a snake.
For everything else, I like the SnS.

I’ve only used my Weber Smokey mountain for long cooks. For smoking in the SnS I’ve only done chicken, ribs and small butts.

To be clear I'm not shitting on S'n'S in general. I have the one for .y kettle with the griddle and consider it a must have add on.
