I just love someone who doesn't wear brown lipstick and makes a real honest review ! ........... Big thanks from Quebec !

Man, thank you! You saved me money. The only thing on youtube praises these SNS grills. Probably paid for advertising. Good and honest KZfaqr! Thanks!

Man I'm glad you made this video. I was thinking about buying another Weber and came across the SNS and thought it was the perfect set up. Like Weber should make. After seeing this, I'm staying with Weber. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I've been compairing the Weber and SNS grills for the past few weeks. I was very close to ordering the SNS until I saw your video. It looks like I'd better stay with the Weber...

I love it, Honesty & truth works for me brother..

I had this Weber and it got damaged in a tornado. Got this SNS to replace it and the EXACT reasons pointed out here are what made me regret it. Thinking of selling it and going back to weber...

I appreciate your review and here are my comments. FYI, Ive had the SNS Kettle for about 3 years. I also have a Weber grill. The "made in China" trope indicating sub quality products is tired. The phone and equipment you are using to record the video were probably made in China. Rivets vs nuts, bolts & washers; I'd rather have the later. Running paint. I would send the grill back to SNS. The finish on mine was perfect. Port holes. This is one of the reason that I chose the SnS over the comparable Weber. They work great and are very useful. Gap between the bottom of the kettle and ash sweeps, I could see that as an issue. But cook in it first and see if this causes any issues. Assembly time. Yeah it was a pain to assemble, but I only had to do it once. Took me about an hour. SNS should stay out of the grill making business. Yeah, that's bs IMO. The SNS kettle is a great grill . It works well, and is of great quality. It is also configured to work optimally with the Slow n sear.

Scotty You are the man! It’s all about that Werner kettle baby!😂

People need to understand these are the best comparisons when the person is not paid or given the product to review. The only way to top this comparison is to cook on them equally six months and see how they both hold up. I’m partial to Weber as well. If you like a side table the Weber Performer with the huge side table is my favorite practical kettle.

Thanks for the honest review.

Great video!! I love a Weber Kettle!!

Great detailed review of both. Weber is the way to go!

Awesome stuff Scotty ! Tell it like it is . Sure doesn't look well built, honesty is always the way to go. Also i tried to email you about contest and no luck. Cheers brother 🍻

i almost dropped my beer when you said you got that for 40 bucks still in the box at a yard sale!!!! THE HELL were they thinking??? hahahah

I liked your comparison and would be pissed if I had paint like that as well. I have the older grey version of the SnS and it didn't have those imperfections. By the way, the only thing that I have to keep tightening up on a regular basis is the thermometer, everything else is still nice and tight. I wonder if when they went to the new version in black, if they cut back on quality. After 3 years, it still looks like new and I don't cover it through the Chicago winters. Like I said, nice review.

Thanks for that honest review that was very informative. I have to watch this. I probably should’ve went with the Webber. It’s still a good upgrade from the Walmart Grill.

I’ve got one. I get your complaints about the nuts. But all the materials are superior to the Weber. Porcelain enameled charcoal grate, stainless steel everywhere that Weber uses aluminum, 304 Stainless cooking grate is 100x better than the chrome plated grates on the Weber, that grate is designed to be loose by the way, it spins whereas the Webers grate gets caught up on the tabs. And the thermometer may be hard to read, but it’s located in the right spot, so it’s not quite as useless as the Webers

Good review Scotty👍

So... ...Tell us what you REALLY think. - lol Great and honest review Scotty - it's pretty hard to compete with the Weber standard. - Cheers!

Wow. I almost pulled the trigger on a sns. I like the grate and that thermometer arre on same side on sns..I may rethink it. Ty

Great video

Personally you got a buy on the SnS. Mine was $349. $349 gets you a Weber Performer with drop down side table and four wheels. The ash bucket on the SnS is smaller and the fixed tabs are thin and cheap. I bent one trying to get the ash pan off and on. I do like the spin grate and the smoke hole. I do like the lid thermo placement but as you pointed out it's hard to read. Even with the smoke hole I was only able to dial the temp down to 275. On my Weber I was able to dial in to 225-250. I will state that SnS makes a great grill basket set. Heavy stainless steel and much bigger than the Weber. Those and the SnS spin grate are well worth the money and fit nicely in the Weber. $ for $ Igo with the performer. More heavy duty. Longer lasting. I have an 18" WSM over 20 years old and still in excellent condition.

I paid $329 for my standard Weber Performer (the one with the folding table). It is rock solid ! For $70 I added a Flame Tech Smoke and Sizzle instead of the more expensive SNS stuff. Weber Forever!

Wow some sold you a 330.00 Webb for that price?!!! Wow you won the lottery

Not a head to head matchup the weber you have is the premiun weber that retails for 439.00

Thanks for the review, I'll stick with Weber.

💯

Weber hands down. 💯💪🏾

Are you saying you now prefer the SNS over the Weber? Having a hard time deciding between the SNS or a Weber Master Tough / Performer.

I am a Weber man, but the thermostat placement is all wrong. If you are correctly using two cooking zones the thermostat basically becomes worthless. SNS has a much better setup with theirs, and I wish someone on the product team at Weber would make the adjustment.

SCORE on the Weber!!! Thanks for the review. I have the Weber 22" Performer and I love it. I have wondered about the SNS kettle, how it compares. Glad my Weber is so quality! So thankful to see that we still produce quality in the USA!

Im a weber guy myself

weber is made in china too mate lmao

You are such a jerk! LOL, just messin. You do mention all the flaws, but you missed one. The lid on the SnS kettle is not as tall and you cannot do a beer can chicken in the sns like the weber. I never released my video on my side by side SnS with my Copper weber but I should redo it. I hate the original weber height, the SnS is taller but they both have the new born giraff wobble. My stickers are still on my SnS legs and its been over 2 years. I love SnS, and I love Weber. They both turn out great BBQ. Flaws they both have. Daisy wheel and lid with handle Weber wins, I prefer the gauge location on SnS but gauge on Weber looks and fits better. Color options Weber wins, 3 legs vs 4 neither win both wobble. Side table SnS for sure, but the Weber in a cart looks amazing and what I want to acquire soon. Ash sweep I actually give to SnS due to the amount I have used both, I have 2 Webers and ash sweeps bent up in less than 2 years and my SnS is still just like new. 100% truth, get a Weber 22in with a SnS basket and you will be happy, toss in the drip n griddle for easy clean up and that is my HONEST opinion. Nice review Scotty!

Hahaha this guy must of never used a pop rivet in his life That vent would be so tight you couldn't turn it.And if it took you 2hrs to put it together i would throw my tools away and go to the home depot work shop on saturday mornings.

When you gonna break in that weber Scotty. I'm sure you can cook a good butt on that cheapo with your skills.

Why would anyone pay that much for a Weber knock off?

I just won’t buy a clone knockoff. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth for anything made by SNS.

Приветсвую мужик, все посмотрел но остались сомнения...., что в итоге бы ты выбрал sns или weber? Я из России
