No Hippie BBQ & Cooking count me in too Day Day. Craig knows they ain’t no 20’s though.

I switched from a drum style smoker/grill to a 22" weber 2 summers ago. I liked it so much I got rid of the drum because I found I never used it anymore. My only regret is it is so well built that now that I am on my third year with it there is no sign of it wearing out enough for me to justify to the wife upgrading it. I tried leaving it out all winter...no rust, still pretty much like new. Damn well built weber...

I started smoking on the weber 22 kettle, then got a wsm and used it for 20 years...thinking about getting the 26 kettle and replacing both 22 and wsm...less clutter on the deck

Does the 26" Weber require more charcoal coals since it's so much larger and because more heating space is required to cook any food?

Question for you on the 26, you think you could fit a beer can chicken on it? I recently tired to set a small chicken standing up and couldn’t even do that on the smaller kettle.

@NoHippieBBQCooking

I think you could. I have done a couple beer can chickens on the 22 and never had issues. I got a beer can chicken holder that does make it a little tight, so when I use that, I cook on the charcoal grate and put the charcoal around the holder

Well. I can only speak on the 18 inch WSM. So first of all, I really don't like cooking on that lower rack. Second of all, I hate that water pan. As far as the duration of the cooks, I think they are pretty close. Keep in mind that I am using that slow n sear that really helps in those long cooks

Also, the 26 comes with stainless steel grate as opposed to plated steel on the 22s. So they should last much longer

Great review of your new 26" kettle. Don't get rid of your growing Weber arsenal though. We have the 22" and 26" Kettle, 22" Deluxe Performer, and Smokey Joe. I recommend them ALL and could not select just one. Each Kettle does "most excellently" what it was designed to do. Why limit ourselves to one anyway? They are simply excellent Q/smoking machines and will last our lifetime and then some. I cannot say that for some of the other other brands I have hauled to the "rustbucket landfill" in disappointment. Cheers!

I'm not sure why, but a few months later I bought a 22" WSM. I bought it for long slow overnight cooks like brisket. I haven't had a chance to try out the WSM yet, but I know it will go longer than the kettle. I only get about 6 hrs on my 26" kettle with the regular SnS. It'll be interesting to get your thoughts on the 2. Good video!

I have never had a problem going over 12 hours using the slow n sear. That being said where I leve may have something to do with it. At a mile high coals do burn a little slower, but 6 hours seems a little short. I easily get the same length on this 26 as my 18 inch wsm. If I am going overnight, I may add a few more coals before I go to bed, and still wake up with plenty of coals. I am actually thinking of selling my WSM. The main reason to keep it is to do videos on it more than needing it

The 26 kettle is by far my most used cooker. I have 2 pellet smokers, an offset smoker an electric smoker, a weber smokey mountain, 2 kettles and a pit barrel cooker. If I could only have one it would be the 26. I have never used a komado, I had a traeger pro 22 that I sold and the little traeger that I sold also. Nothing wrong with the traegers. I sold the small one when I got the campchef woodwind, and sold the traeger when I got the Zgrill.

This is probably a dumb question, but do you need more charcoal to complete a cook with the 26" kettle compared to the 22"?

Not necessarily, The beauty of it is that you can use more charcoal for those really long cooks. the 26 also comes standard with charcoal baskets that can be used to kind of shorten the with of the charcoal grate. Without the charcoal baskets or the slow n sear you would probably end up using more charcoal

How many pounds of charcoal will the large Slow n Sear hold?

​@@NoHippieBBQCooking could you give an approximate guess? im trying to build a square BBQ grill and I'm thinking of using 3mm thick sheet metal. Will that be okay?
