What do you use INSTEAD of the Slow N Sear?
Threads about the SnS pop up on a regular basis, so I thought, "What do others use?". This is not a place to sing the praises of the SnS.
Some I have used. A wood split, provides smoke. Mini bread pans, hold a lot of water, if that's your thing, to moderate temps. Also stack well and can go through the dishwasher. Plain old paving bricks. Another arrangement, to open up more room on the cooking grate. Never used this one, just to show that some people are quite inventive.

Never saw a call for the SNS

I've used all of the above except the beer cans. That's a new one on me.
I usually use my home made charcoal basket and two of the bread pans full of water.

I just pile the lump on one side of my big weber, works just as good as your tricks with much less hassle.

I agree, except for the longer cooks what I pictured is not needed. But when something is needed for the longer cooks, people have been cooking those things on kettles longer than I've been alive.

I use the Weber baskets or my Vortex. I have a 26in Smokinator but I've only used it twice. Just not really my thing.

Found these in the basement today, they pre-date my learning about firebricks. Mostly they were used for turkeys. Take about a minute to install.

Had to make some ribs at my inlaws. They had an old ceramic plate that we propped up on two or three bricks, and started coals underneath it to make three racks of ribs on a rib rack

I like all the grate space the vortex idea opens up.

I was just looking at 26" kettles online. If I was to take a short road trip, I could have one today.
