Adrenaline Barbecue Company Adrenaline Barbecue Company Charcoal Basket

I bought the Slow n'Sear basket hoping I could smoke smaller cuts of meat in my Jumbo Joe without using nearly as much charcoal as the Slow n' Sear Deluxe in my 22" kettle.Mission accomplished.For a single rack of ribs or a pork loin or whole chicken or a chuck roast, this is a perfect setup. I've tried other methods of smoking on the Jumbo Joe, but I've been frustrated by every other method I've tried compared to my 22" kettle. The Slow n'Sear basket works perfectly for what I want to do, with quick setup and easy-to-maintain temps. Once I get the vents set, I don't have to touch them again. Using the minion method, it seems to barely burn any charcoal at all. I can barely tell that any briquettes have burned up after a couple of hours of smoking.The Slow n'Sear basket is made of thinner metal than my Slow n'Sear Deluxe. It feels like thinner metal than Weber's CharBaskets, even. That said, it's not flimsy. It's a stiff metal. It tucks in the bowl right behind the hooks for the Jumbo Joe lid holder. I don't know exactly how long a full load of charcoal will burn, because everything I've smoked so far has been ready to eat long before the coals burn out. I'd guess 6-7 hours is a realistic estimate.This doesn't replace my Weber CharBaskets, as I still do most of my hot grilling with CharBaskets. But I'm very happy with this purchase and I've been having a lot of fun smoking with my Jumbo Joe.

It works like a charm for everyday grilling, keeps things tidy and always leaves a nice hot zone and plenty of space for indirect heat cooking. And if you load it like they describe on the website then it can really do slow smoking temps for 5-6 hrs in a basic 18" weber kettle: You create a thin bed of hot coals and load over that to the brim of the s&s with unlit lump charcoal. Then use the vents to control temps. What surprised me was that a quarter inch on the bottom vent is the diff between 220 and 260... just allow time for the temps to settle and you will be surprised with how well this thing can regulate a smoker cook. Throw in a water pan and a few soaked pieces of wood in a chip box and this setup is great for smoking smaller cuts and poultry.

Solid build and works as advertised

Needed this for my new Victory Kamado....and bam it fits perfectly and works even more perfecter. Grilling is good, spelling is hard.

I looked at some of the reviews and was hesitant to buy this. It doesn't fit exactly like a glove to the jumbo Joe as there is a gap but its close enough. The main concern was whether or not it was actual stainless steel. I did the magnet test and it stuck but I know that doesnt say much. I used a diamond attachment to my Dremel tool and touched it to one of the edges and sparks flew which confirmed it was in fact stainless. My buddy in construction also instantly reconfirmed as well when he picked it up. Overall happy with the purchase but a little overpriced in my opinion.
