While I know you can't fit everything in this video... a few things to consider for a beginner. 1) you mention it on charcoal, but clean up is prob the biggest thing a new griller will face. Gas is almost zero... kamado style is a pain in the butt to clean; 2) chosing the right size for the number of people you cook for. Best to buy something a little larger than you typically might use. If you have guests, some foods don't cook as quickly so ppl might get served later; and 3) cost per cook... depending what you cook, fuel costs could vary a lot by grill or bbq type. Fuel types can get expensive per cook.

Thanks for the feedback. Running Cost was one of the things I planned to highlight, but didn't. Gas is the cheapest and Pellet Grills can be expensive to operate depending on the pellets you use. Offsets are expensive to run where I live because it is a desert and most of the wood comes from elsewhere. Pellet grills are a pain to clean and people don't do it as much as they should.

For me, clean up with the gas grill was much more difficult and burdensome than with my charcoal grill. While it's true that you don't have ashes to clean out after each use, cleaning the drip pan and all the grease build-up is much more difficult with the gas grill. And if you don't clean the grease build-up regularly, the grill will be prone to fires.

Hey there Mr Grilltop, really great video! I think you really hit the nail on the head. I have 3 grills, and I use all 3 of the differently depending on what I want to do. I have a Traeger that I got for Christmas a few years ago, and I usually get plenty of smoke flavor probably because of the pellets I use (Knottywood - by far the best I’ve ever used. Lumberjack is a close second). It generally is lighter smoke flavor but it’s there, and in my case it’s better because my wife is pregnant and not able to handle really heavy smoke flavor, she’s is more likely to eat it. I have a Weber Kettle which I got for free. A friend of mine upgraded to one of the premium models, and he gave me the old one. It’s wonderful and I use it all the time, after buying some aftermarket parts of course, like charcoal baskets 😊. (Btw, your suggestion that you replied to me in the comments of your other video to use wood chips after my initial smoke runs out was absolute gold, it worked perfectly and I’ve been doing it ever since! Thank you so much for that!) My third is a chargriller portable which I take camping, on vacation, to my parents house, etc. It’s one of those converted offset fireboxes with iron grates in them that you can buy at Home Depot. Works great, and plenty of smoke. I cook different foods on both the Traeger and the Weber. While both are really great, it seems like each has a specialty. Fish, Steak, and chicken breasts the Weber does better, probably because it retains moisture better. Burgers, chicken fingers, and whole chickens (like beer can chicken) the Traeger seems to work better. Not really sure why that is. Chicken thighs and drumsticks they both do equally as well. Either way they’re both great. Anyways that’s my setup, I wish I had an offset but you’re right, they’re way too expensive. For my budget, this works perfectly. I’ve been learning a lot from you, thanks again for your videos!

exactly what i was looking for. thanks!!!

Went from propane grills only for home and camping to pretty much all charcoal over the last 3 years. My line up right now is all weber products. Weber go anywhere charcoal for camping and tailgating. 18" weber smokey mountain bullet smoker with the pit barrel hanging system. And 3 22 kettles, 1 old school daisy wheel just because, 1 premium kettle same as your copper one, and a 2nd hand performer deluxe with the plastic table that was free on the side of the road that needed some love but is back to 100% condition. I do have a weber q120 for when the wife wants to grill or when I'm feeling lazy and a weber go anywhere gas for camping during burn bans. The 22 kettle style be it weber or sns, in my opinion has to be the best Swiss army knife do everything charcoal grill in my opinion especially with the accessories that are available for it. Pizza systems, flat tops, slow n sear basket, charcoal vortex, weber charcoal baskets, etc. They last forever. You can get them 2nd hand all day long for really cheap. You can direct and indirect cook, smoke, sear, anything really with some basic fire management. Only grill that can hold a candle to a 22" kettle for price, performance, and footprint is a 26" kettle.

Great video. Always learn something new from every video you make. Chud's BBQ recently started a Weber series and he has me intrigued with his SNS + kettle use. He treated it more like an offset than the traditional minion method. Throwing wood chunks and lump charcoal in as temps started to dip, starting with only a few coals to get up to smoking temperature. Was wondering what your take on this method? Is the juice worth the squeeze? I'd also like to add to your list Gravity Fed charcoal smokers. The convenience of a pellet PID controller, but with charcoal and wood. I've became a huge fan of my MasterBuilt and I'm excited for their new portable with charcoal hopper.

I saw Bradley do that and commented on the video asking why and don't think I got a response. He used his leaf blower to stoke the coals to get past the bad ignition smoke. I suppose that works, but I bet his temps were all over the place, but that gave him more control over the smoke. It would be cool if he did a side by side comparison to see if it makes a difference. The gravity fed grills look pretty cool too and got popular quickly. Maybe those are the best of both worlds.

I’ve owned the Weber three burner gas grill Spirit with the sear burner for five years now and I can’t imagine using anything else. I love it and helps me grill to perfection.

I agree. Sometimes you just want something that'll cook the food on it's own and sometimes it's fun to mess with the grill.

Video idea Ryan. You are good at figuring things out and explaining them. How about doing a video about total BTUs used in different barbecues and how Heat Flux affects how they cook? Heat flux is the total BTUs divided by the square inches of the cooking grate. I'd like to know how the delivery of the BTUs are affected by the insulation of the cooking chamber, where and how the heat is vented, and how the proximity of the heat relative to the meat either creates efficient use of the BTUs or wastes heat. First you'll have to research the average BTU's of wood, charcoal, propane, and natural gas. Call the video "BTU efficiency of Barbecues" or something. I only have Weber kettles so your ceramic, gas, and flat top cooker gives you more to work with. Don't forget to include a Santa Maria grill and a offset cooker. I bet you can make this stuff interesting! Who doesn't want to save fuel while cooking?

I have a charbroil charcoal & gas combo, its pretty sweet.

You missed the gravity-fed charcoal grills in the list. Pellet ease of use with the extra flavor and smoke control of charcoal grills. I have high-end gas and pellet grills (>$1000 each) along with a gravity charcoal smoker (snagged on SUPER clearance around 75% off), a Blackstone griddle, and two Weber kettles (22" Performer and a little 14" Smokey Joe for tiny cooks). I love them all for different things and different reasons. I've debated adding a kamado to the collection ... and would have last summer if the deal I found wasn't 20 hours from home at the time ... but I honestly don't feel the need with everything else. If I had to get rid of everything and ONLY have one? I wouldn't like it, but I think I'd keep the Weber kettle. Yeah, the gas is super convenient, and mine even has a cast iron charcoal insert where I can use charcoal on half of the grill - which I used to do, but the sheer versatility of the kettle is unmatched by all the fancy tech out there. I have a pizza oven attachment that does AMAZING wood fired pizzas, there are rotisseries for it, I have a griddle top for it (before I got the Blackstone), and if you want to automate it you can even buy controllers that will make it operate like a pellet grill. Personal suggestion ... if you can, get them all!

The grill rabbit hole 🐇🕳️, started grilling 2 years ago with a gas nexgrill, upgraded to a Weber Smokefire, then a Weber smokey mountain, then a Blackstone flat top, then a SNS travel kettle.. 🤷🏾‍♂️.

@Grill Top Experience - I have been seriously researching which grill/smoker to get for more than 4 months. Im a single person household but will be cooking for my daughter and 2 teen grandkids, two separate households. Im leaning towards the Weber Kettle but wondering if I should move to the 26 inch instead of the 22". We will be smoking meats to eat for a few days. So 2 sides of ribs, pork butt and chicken. Can you have two layers of cooking space? Im going to be purchasing the slow n sear and understand that I will be giving up cooking space for this. Could I have a another grate to increase the actual smoker real estate? I really enjoy your videos a lot. Thank you. PS Im also looking at the WSM, the Slow n sear Kettle and the Napoleon Kettle. Could the Weber 22 likely meet my needs?

@GrillTopExperience

2 жыл бұрын

The WSM has the most space out of all the options you mentioned and would fit everything you want to cook, but it's mostly just for smoking and that would limit what you can do with it. I think you would have a hard time fitting two racks of ribs and a pork butt, but you might make it fit by cutting them in half and using a rib rack. You probably want the 26" kettle if you want to cook a bunch of stuff at the same time. If two kettles is an option, you could buy used and have enough money left over to get the SNS or other accessories you might want and it gives you the flexibility of cooking a bunch of food or just using a single kettle for steak or burgers.

Did you say this correctly? "You're tasting the meat and not the heat." That just sounds very wrong. When would you not want to taste the meat? Its the star, not the method.

That was in homage to a quote from the TV show "King of the Hill," which featured Hank Hill who sold propane and propane accessories. Several commenters make reference to some other things he said as well and people make fun of that statement because the prefer meat, salt, and wood smoke as the best combo. You only get two with propane.

@@GrillTopExperience I see. Thanks. Well, I suppose you do only get two of them with propane. I kind of feel like unless you're slow really slow cooking it (in which case why not get a used smoker if at all possible) it doesn't really make enough difference to go through the hassle of charcoal.

If you don’t want to burn yourself don’t cook then
