If you have a Weber kettle or are thinking about getting one this channel is for you. I also demystify cooking with charcoal and smoking woods. The kettle is a great way to learn how to grill, indirect grill, 50/50 grill, and smoking. It only takes a few tips to make using a kettle enjoyable.
If you have a broken charcoal chimney, I have how to videos to show you how to make barbecue accessories like a Vortex, a rig for the snake method of smoking, a 50/50 rig, and a mini chimney to light only 10 briquettes.
I also answer questions about all of the sizes of Weber kettles and the WSM smokers.
My goal is to help you enjoy your kettle and learn how to get dinner ready on time.
Thanks for checking my channel out!

Hi 🎉. Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Really hope you are well and having a great Wednesday 🎉. A big thumbs up from Chris and Jane 🎉🎉🎉
I cooked with these for the first time this weekend. Made a LOT of ash and had a chemical/lighter fluid smell. Will skip next time.
Almost food grade? What does that mean?
Citrusafe's main ingredient d-limonene is used in food manufacturing but some of the other ingredients are not safe to eat. It only needs to wiped off with a wet towel. If it were more toxic, it would need to be thoroughly washed off with a hose. It really cleans the grease off the grill grate with the scrub pad and the wet towel. Try it sometime. I bet you'll like it.
Good to know Mike..
Excellent Mike!!!
Do you recommend anything to shine up the weber kettle lids? I've used car wax before but wasn't sure if that was the best thing to use, maybe because of the heat didn't seem to last long
I don't use wax because it may cloud up when it gets hot. I use Dawn dishwashing soap on a wet rag to get the grease off. Sadly most of my kettles suffered from a house painters overspray that bespeckled the lids a bit. I do wonder what clay-bar might do for the shine? Thanks for watching the video!
@@BbqMikeG thank You
Weber Kettle for the win you're winning for sure. Great video Mike
Thanks Lance! I really appreciate you for bringing the bbq community together!
Wouldn’t hanging them cause the juice to run down and the ribs to be dry?
Hi Monique, I usually hang them for 90 minutes to get smoke on them and then wrap them for another 60-90 minutes with a splash of Coke as a braising liquid, then finish them off on the top rack. Hanging them gets a lot of vertically moving smoke on both sides of the ribs even better than smoking them flat in the Weber Smokey Mountain. An offset smoker gives better horizontal smoke than the WSM so going vertical with the smoke even outs the smoke on both sides. I really like cooking ribs this way! Thanks for watching the video!
Great tips! Really nice
Big Mike its Garvey. I was hoping to see you when I searched webber grill. Try to decide on traditional kettle or summit or summit komodo. What does theaster recommend
Lava Lock is better for high temperatures, but the fire black gets the same job done for regular kettle usage. If smoking meat on the kettle is your goal, either one will work fine at 250 f temps. It's great that they give you enough gasket to do 2 kettles! It's a great value no matter which one you get!
They work fine for me.
New subscriber from BRANTFORD Ontario. Cheers
Awesome thank you!
There’s a knife sharpener guy at the farmers markets he might be able to get that blade good as new. And a motor shop in Anaheim if you need a motor bearing
Right on! It works well enough right now but this slicer is worth keeping going.
Bro!!! Thin tri tip is the business!!! Nice slicer man!
French dip sandwiches! Thanks for watching!
That's an awesome slicer!
Thanks Adam and Phyllis! The many skill sets you have are inspiring to me. I’d be the neighbor you check in on and find me looking like Jack Nicholson at the end of the Shining!
That's in my wheelhouse, OLD SCHOOL.. Nice Mike.
Built to last not to trash! I’m so happy Eric gave me this slicer!
that's cool
Google has no information about this slicer and KZread only has one video about it. If you have an owner’s manual for it I would like to know how to oil the motor please.
Awesome idea!!
Combining smoke and char creates rich taste and texture. Thanks for visiting the lower 49!
Im following you Mike
Thanks Tom!
Thinking that ribs and beans are now on the dinner list for this weekend. Don’t forget to link the mini chimney video.
That mini chimney is fun to use, but It's just as easy to turn a chimney upside-down, drop a lit fire starter in it, and add a big handful of charcoal. I've made a lot of bbq gear using broken chimneys! Thanks for watching it!
Up-cyclng is totally in...wait for more of it to happen with the costs uprising for sure@@BbqMikeG
Great short!
Wow! Thanks for watching it! The thumbnail wasn't what I'd wished for.
It never is with a short...youtube picks the most awkard thumbnails for shorts@@BbqMikeG
*promosm*
Use a magnent for steel bristles
A big magnet would be helpful but a close inspection is all you need. Using Citrusafe with a scrub pad and a wet cloth would do the trick too. Those prep brushes are vicious on grill grates!
very nice! haven't tried it with hinged grate but it looks like it would great. People are probably more likely to own the hinged grate than the gourmet grill grate. so thanks for pointing that out! have a nice weekend brother
Thanks Sal! The only grate left is the one with no hinges!
BBQ on a budget! Love it!
I’d rather spend cash at the butcher shop than on gear!
Like the magnet trick!
A gasket would be great, but holding the door up is easy with magnets! I’ll keep an eye out at work to get you some for free!
@@BbqMikeG I'm pretty sure I have some magnets around that will do the job. But if you get some freebies why not? Thanks!
Looks like you didn't use a water pan. Is that how you prefer to do ribs on the WSM?
It’s just another way to smoke ribs. They taste good and cook quicker. Wrapping ribs after 2 hours makes them more tender but the texture of hanging ribs has a rotisserie style bark. I have an 18” hinged cooking grate for you if you want to try this. It is a fun way to cook ribs. Your ribs are frigging good Donny!
@@BbqMikeG That would be great! Only if it's extra. Thanks my friend!
Nice idea Mike! Gonna use this trick to smoke home made sausage links.
I would bend the hooks differently for sausage hanging perhaps. 🤘
That citrusafe stuff worked really well. I only gave it one good pass and a fast pass with it and my grill is good to go.
Squirt, scrub, wipe keeps the grease marks off your steak! I really like Citrusafe too!
Aluminum foil is great too😉
Foil is great and I like how it forms into the grate to clean deeper. Citrusafe with the scrub pad and a wet cloth is worth a try. I only mention it because I like it. 🤘
Love it mike! Keep the videos coming.
YES!! great, great mod. I dig the magnet mod too, never seen that. Thank you so much bro for the shoutout
Citing your video will help the dozens of my viewers know what great videos you make! Your calm delivery and techniques are inspiring!
Nice
Great video I needed this thanks
The best part is when it is clean
Nice
Saw these on sale and was curious about it. Thanks for this highly informative video!
Thanks, Mike! Great Video
Nice, when's my invite!!!?
I can smell the goodness!
Great to see content from you! Keep it coming!💪🏽💯🔥
No more taking precious time to line out charcoals to make a snake nice idea great video
Thanks for the test information.
Thanks for posting your results! I bought & used a bag of these super sized briquettes & thought it was something I was doing wrong. I had a difficult time getting them to light using the same technique I used lighting up the Kingsford briquettes.
They work if you work them. I use them for quick cooks like chicken, but only because I bought a few bags. One thing that interests me is how the ashes stay on top of the coal grate. It might be useful if a barbecue gets choked out from too much ash falling down.
super cool creative designs sir
That S&S snake works great for smoking briskets for 10 or more hours. When you wrap, push all the remaining coals to one side and fill the basket back up. Then the snake will burn back the other way to finish the cook!
𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝙰𝚠𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎🎉
I ran a fuse and only burned a 1/3 of what I set up for at stable 275 to 300 over 6 hours. Puts out a shit ton of smoke!
They do work for temperature. I wonder how much of the smoke is steam. I’ve been using them for hot and fast cooking so I get my value out of what I already purchased. The are a bit odd and I wished Royal Oak made them out of more hardwood with less smokey additives.
Thats a pretty cool idea! Easy to do too!
Thanks BBQ Mike
