Which method did a better ribeye roast? Let me know in the comments below

My brother in law snaps at me, "No don't lift the lid! You never lift the lid on a Weber BBQ". He has his Weber on gas. LOL!!!!!

New to Master Touch Premium and enjoyed going through your back catalogue. I found the music to go great with the video!

Thanks. It’s a great BBQ. Your going to have a blast this summer.

Always love new weber videos, keep 'em coming! One of the disadvantages of a hinged lid is that you cannot rotate it. When using indirect with the baskets or coals off to the side, the vent should be opposite of the heat source so that air flows over your meat and out the top vent. With the hinged lid that means the baskets/coal should've been at the front of the kettle. The background music is on the loud side relative to your voice.

You can unhinge the lid and use it like a regular kettle for those particular circumstances. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on the sound. I don’t know what happened here lol

@@JoeAnshien I think though the vent is in the wrong spot as it should be on the other side from the heat source.

I just ordered this grill for my summer cottage. Allready own performer deluxe (which is awesome) and i know this one has issues with the lid but i was able to see a showpiece master touch on hardware store and even though the lid didnt close perfectly, it was close enough. They had just assembled it for show quickly, without even trying to get the lid close perfectly, so i think i can secure it better with little time and perhaps inverting the springs on my grill. This grill was on sale over 100€ off, and with the charcoal ring & diffuser plate and with all the weber kettle abilities i think im gonna be more than satisfied with it because i can grill, roast and smoke with it. And with diffuser plate attached it has allmost 57cm/22" of cooking space.

That’s a great point. Just a heads up, I’ve done multiple reviews on this grill and had a lot of issues with the lid. I did the inverted spring thing and still had issue. I think I’m just a perfectionist but I ended up using a gasket.

Do u think the vents being fixed to the rear, where I'd most likely put the coals, is a manufacturer's mistake? It forces us to put the coal at the front then lean over to move the meat.

Tom - when you are using the diffuser plate for Low and Slow, why don;t the pre-soaked but unlit wood chunks produce bad (white) smoke when they do finally ignite?

I did an updated detailed video on smoking. Check it out. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZerj6N_grrUhaQ.html

Makes sense but I'm assuming in both methods you can't add more wood unless you pull the meat off and let combustion take place again 🤷🏾‍♂️

The master touch premium was a limited release in the US I believe. It is available outside of the US though

Excellent video, though I think soaking your wood is kind of pointless since combusted wood is what gives the blue smoke. Before combustion, soaked wood would only be boiling/steaming before just combusting like the dry wood. Thanks for the great content!

Using the diffuser is also indirect cooking. It is just that instead of having your heart in one corner of the Weber and your protein opposite to it, you have your heat centrally but it is deflected by the plate and the protein is right on top.

@c-mobucks4930

4 ай бұрын

I think it's convection cooking. The diffuser plate heats up and that heat is radiated directly into the meat above the plate.

The combustion smoke being bad is a myth... If it was bad smoke, the "minion method" would be obsolete.

What if using lump charcoal?

IMO you just need to adjust your vents if you can't hit 225 -250. Bottom should be barely open and adjust the top to hit your temp. I did a Rotisserie Rib Roast on the 22" kettle for 5 hrs at 230 to 260.

First of all, great video! Second of all (like Harry Soo says) topics around “how to” for smoking meat is a three hour argument followed by a fistfight. Third of all, there is definitely more than one way to akin a cat (or smoke some meat) but I knew when you filled the chimney up with coals that the cooking temp was going to be too high. From my own personal experience, I can ballpark about 7 degrees per coal (Kingsford Original) so I would use about 50 to cool at 350 degrees. Is there a certain reason why you would use a full chimney of coals and wait for the temps to come down instead of a partial chimney? No judgment or anything, I’m just curious. Thanks again for the video!

@tomwadek

Thanks for watching. Your right, there’s several ways to skin a cat. For this particular cook, it was probably unnecessary to use a full chimney of coals for the indirect method. For the diffuser plate I usually start it off in a counter clockwise way so that the cook can last longer but for a ribeye roast that’s not necessary since it cooks in such a short time. Thanks for your feedback.

This just proves that a Kamado is stupid and I should invest in a 26 in kettle with a diffuser plate. The Kamado by Weber is cool but I don't think they perfected it yet for the price its selling for. I have a Weber 22 right now along with a WSM22 and absolutely love them, but I would like to have more cooking space for a larger crowd that I tend to feed.

Kamado is a lot better with keeping the hot, and if you doing not at summer, it's feels a lot more.

Weber actually suggests soaking the wood.

In Europe yo can still buy it - I bought mine 1 month ago for 285€ - great price and I also had the fear that this model will get discont.

Instead of the Weber diffuser, I ordered a 20"x 1/4" round steel plate from Steel Supply, L.P. for $68 plus $14 shipping. Then I also ordered the standard Weber 22" WSM charcoal ring off of Amazon for $58. The thick mass of the round steel plate helps in keeping temps stable.
