Hi Tom, I picked this up in the UK in July, absolutely love it, have done an 8 hour brisket which was great, and the vortex for crispy chicken works a treat. My first burn the heat got away with me as I ran it dry (no water tray) and the temp got up over 300 and ruined 3 racks of baby backs, I would definitely recommend using the water tray for Smoking. Im a new subscriber now, cant wait to see what youll do on it.

what temps did you end up with the ribs? did you wrap them in foil and butcher paper? did you spritz them? 300 is not too high unless you cooked them for too long. I've cooked ribs at 400 and they came out fine.

It looks as if Weber has upped it's game. Love the style and settle upgrades.

Hey Tom, this version has been available in Europe for a while now. It is only new to the US. Thanks again for showing it off!

I use the snake method,2 briquettes wide usually start with 60 total,kings Ford blue bag,with my wood chunks living on top of the briquettes.With my bottom vent all the way to the left I still have about a 1/4” of the p showing not totally closed,I run the top vent full open and it will run 215*-225* consistently depending on weather and I will get 6 to 8 hours again depending on weather.Ive done as long as 21 hour cooks that way for 15lb briskets after trimming.Ive found it easier to just run the top vent open and control temp with bottom vent only.If I have smaller pieces of meat then I will close up top vent to lower temp to the 200* mark just to try and get a little more smoke flavor.I have used my ring from my WSM in my Weber kettle before to do chicken wings before I got my vortex now I just use it..Great video.🔥👍

Wow to me it's already obvious how much more air is moving through the cooker with the new vent geometry. I wonder how a water pan on the diffuser plate and a foil seal around the outside of the "fire ring" might assist in the burn length. At least I think it'd help to stabilize the temps and increase the efficiency of the cooker. Great vid Tom!

It’s funny that this model comes out with the ring and I just got the one from Slowhand off Etsy. The charcoal grate fits inside the ring and it’s a bit taller than the Weber one. I use 19 inch pizza pan with a 1 inch vertical lip as the diffuser/water pan/drip catcher. I have not tried it to see how long it goes but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got 12 plus hours. It’s a real big ring.

Hey Tom! I really like this Grill........I even like it more now that You pointed out the new markings on the ash can. 👍 And the redesigned slots for fine tuning that air intake. 👍 I am a little disappointed that they didn't add a stoker port. 👎 Stokers are gonna become the norm, and if You had a stoker hooked up at the start of your burn in, who knows how long you may have gotten? Also with the stoker you don't have issues with ash build up around those new slots. The ring is on the small side, nothing like the rings some of us are already using, like the ring from the WSM. But I believe the reason they did that was to maintain a safe distance between the baffle plate and the cooking grate/meat. It provides some airflow to surround the meat. That's why when I use a set up like this I'll use the Elevated Rack to gain some distance between the plate, and to get that airflow around the meat, but that's just Me. 😁 I may get one just to have that Shiny Weber Emblem! 😁 Metal On! \m/

I think Weber is changing the kettle to be more like the Summit Charcoal grill. From what I’ve seen in your videos so far, it’s kind of a smaller version.

Hi Tom, Although I am still very afraid of drilling holes in my Weber Mastertouch, I am thinking about using a Flame Boss 400. If I take into account the 3 places where this is possible because of the shaft blades, where would you advise making the hole for the Flame Boss?

Wow! That's a good question! If you have the new style "P" style vent I would definitely use that. If not I would drill separate hole per the guidance from Flame Boss. Thanks for Watching!

Yeah the Aussie briquettes are larger than the Kingsfords and therefore can't get as many in there, I made the mistake of placing the plate ontop of the fire and it pushed the plate too high and it burnt my slabs of ribs......I can buy the Kingsfords at Costco in Sydney so I might try it with those. Unless you're cooking a huge brisket, I think the time you got would be ideal for ribs and stuff that are smaller otherwise you're better off getting a WSM. Don't forget, you had no meat in there so it will act as a heat sink as well as placing water ontop of diffuser plate in a tray will help steady temps.

If it’s the charcoal ring and diffuser plate as I have mentioned in several videos it’s not available separately only with the grill. Thanks for watching!

Over the last 37 years I had 3 or 4 Weber Kettles. I moved on to the Masterbuilt 560 Charcoal Gravity Smoker. Far more versatile you can go from 225- 700 degrees with a swipe on your cellphone. Sorry Weber, the Masterbuilt 560 is better for me

What kind of gasket is it? I have a 22 premium kettle that leaks a bit. And was looking to see which one to get.

Thanks for watching! I don’t believe so, last place I saw them was at Costco

I have one of these. I gave up using the charcoal ring and diffuser plate. Everything is too close together. Snake is easier to set up and more reliable. Just keep adding to the snake and it will go forever!

Thanks for watching Gary! Appreciate the feedback

This model has been around for a couple of years - just not in the USA. Weber refused to sell me the ring and plate when I called a year and a half ago. Not good optics for Weber but for all I know they are now CCP owned. It is not unfounded criticism tho.

My Weber is as old as me which is 34 years. Only had to replace the grill. I don't think the newer ones are made as well.

You saw the Summit. Completely different product from this. The Summit is double wall construction, mimicking the efficiency of ceramic cookers. They’re also a 24 diameter grill. Larger than the standard 22 inch, but smaller than the 26. Also includes things such as gas start, spring assist lid, etc. I don’t have one, but see the value in it and would love to have it as a replacement for my Performer Deluxe.

So this new attachment is a total waste of time for say a brisket, I've been able to get 14hrs out of a snake. Would be good to see an attachment with a small diameter riser for the diffuser plate which would allow all of us snake users to utilise the whole grill. Or this is going to open up a whole new market for the aftermarket people an angle. Weber needs to get their house in order 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still dialing it in Rob as I stated in the video. Thanks for watching!

That ring and diffuser looks sht (I've got one but haven't used it yet which is why I'm watching some videos). Firstly the water tray has to sit right on top of it so it's going to boil and empty real quick. Secondly there not much room for wood and third you have no access to it to add more wood or charcoal if needed. I'll stick to the snake mehtod I think.

Real Charcoal Grill Chefs can cook on anything. Kinda like blaming an oven for over baking cookies. burning roasts. under cooked chicken. The problem with the Webbers are many. I use mine all the time...BUT...Kingsford to Kingsford in the blue bag only is always different. Some hard = long cook some soft= fast cook. That red bag of chipped wood is crap burns way to fast and small small chips. Now if you wanna seer you gotta build up the charcoal rack it is too LOW for this purpose to take place. But it is just a tool that you have to work the hell out of to get what you want. Buy the cheap 22" for 99 bucks and you can get it to do the same thing. It is just gonna need to be replaced in 5 years anyways if you use it 3 times a week. The metal grates will go. The top will rust. Webber is great at replacing parts free of charge if at warranty. Back to cooking...Like anything else you gotta know what you are doing. This little test with charcoal and no food was USELESS for reality! Digital thermometer hooked up to dumb phones...man what happened to pure grilling?

The diffuser plate gets way hot, too much heat transmitted so you don't really get indirect heat. Even with water, it just boils the meat. Worst purchase ever.
