Know before you buy
The SlōRoller uses hyperbolic smoke technology to distribute smoke and heat in rolling, recirculating waves. This creates an ideal environment for low-and-slow smoking, resulting in enhanced flavor and reduced hot spots.
This system features a multi-level rack design that allows you to cook different foods at varying heights and temperatures simultaneously. You can easily swap out cooking surfaces, such as the included cast-iron grate, to customize your setup for searing, roasting, or baking.
Not at all. The grill is equipped with an Air Lift hinge that significantly reduces the weight of the ceramic dome, allowing you to lift it with minimal effort.
Yes, the bundle includes a heavy-duty, waterproof cover specifically designed to protect the ceramic body and stainless steel components from rain, snow, and UV damage throughout the seasons.
The charcoal basket improves airflow for better temperature control and makes cleanup much faster. It allows you to easily shake off loose ash and remove leftover charcoal between cooks.
The Kontrol Tower top vent allows for highly precise airflow management. By adjusting the vent, you can maintain consistent temperatures for hours, whether you are smoking at low heat or searing at high temperatures.
