    THANK YOU! This was by far the most comprehensive video on using the Weber Char Baskets I’ve seen. Next month marks the one year anniversary that I got my kettle and switched to charcoal. I have an SnS and a DnG. They work great but I personally prefer using my baskets. For some reason I feel more comfortable using them and I love that I have so many options and can even move them around when the coals are hot. I use every configuration you demonstrated (save for the second to last one you recommended) but it took me almost a year of sifting through hundreds of KZread videos to discover them! Having all of them succinctly demonstrated in one high quality video is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. Your content is extremely helpful for noobs like me!

    Did an 8 hour controlled smoke, variable temp cook on a Boston butt a few weeks ago. Got rave reviews for a first time attempt with a kettle. I say first time because I have smoked meats before on dedicated smokers. It surprised and shocked a few guys who rely on electric wood pellet smokers with temp controls.

The baskets don't get as much love as they should, they are very useful. I like to use them a lot in last config you showed when they serve more as a divider...keeps the charcoal close together and compact.

    I've found all you need is the baskets for all configurations ...gone are the days of putting charcoal directly on the bottom rack. I use the parallel setup for 1hour-2hour cooks and just dump in a full Weber chimney split between both baskets. I can regulate the heat down for slower cooks using the vents.

    One thing that you didn't mention in the video with the parallel basket method is that an aluminum drip pan actually aids in the heat distribution. I rest the edge of the drip pan on top of the edges of the baskets so it's elevated off of the bottom rack and so it acts as a heat shield to slow cooking down but still benefit from having heat on both sides of the meat.

I had a blast this summer cooking back ribs, prime rib, sirloin, chicken and turkey. The biggest game changer for me was a meat thermometer and offset cooking with the charcoal baskets. Think I’m done for the winter, can’t wait until spring!

I have no problem with the slow part, but once it comes time to sear, there is never enough heat. I learned that you can actually start with the sear while the coals are hot, and then finish with the slow. Is that true? Are there any disadvantages to doing it this way?

If you don’t have the slow and sear use the baskets to creat a barrier as I show in this video. Just make it to where you use about a 3rd of the kettle as your hot zone. That should help with that.
