    Thanks! I use the bbq guru adapter for Weber kettles (and similar grills). I think it’s a one inch hole, can’t remember exactly. But it was very easy. I just drilled a hole with a step drill bit, the aluminum is soft and thin, it took about 10 seconds.

    You should consider setting up a brick offset smoker/bbq pit if you're working in those temperatures. You have to prime the thing by burning wood to bring it up to temp, but it holds heat better and you don't have to watch it as closely.

    Den ser ju kanon ut. Du får ursäkta en okunnig men du har ju två termometrar på sidorna men ett luftintag i luckan. Hur reglerar du värmen, flyttar du kolen från sida till sida eller? förstår du vad jag menar=) Kommer den ut på marknaden så.. //M.

    @HanksTrueBBQАй бұрын

    Hej! Jag kan placera kol på ena eller andra sidan, och då reglerar jag värmen dels med mängden kol för det första, men även genom att flytta maten i sida. Eller så gör jag en kolbädd på hela botten om jag behöver värme över hela gallret, och då reglerar jag värmen genom mängden kol. Luftflödet styr jag med luckan och toppventilen.

    Hank I just subscribed to your channel, the guy from argentina, this beans look delicious. To let you know, I see that you have plenty of space to build a true brick argentinian grill, I can help you out, nò fancy bricks except the fire bricks, any brich will do, keep at it great videos

  • @gns-gu8xh
    @gns-gu8xh3 ай бұрын

    I forget to tell you the difference in the angle iron grill it takes a lot of the juices and fat away. The rebar type the juices fall on the coals and gives it a better taste to the meat. NO FLAMES, put them out by moving the coals around or just remove it to the fire box, NEVER USE WATER, it brings the temp down, if you see a flame grab the small shovel from your fire place and always have that at hand you can use it to remove coals from the box, spread coals, remove coals everything with the little shovel

  • @gns-gu8xh
    @gns-gu8xh3 ай бұрын

    Hello Frank from argentina, just like to tell you that you did a gratis job, but id you dont mind me giving you a couple of tipos on how argentinians build their grill. First we normaly use on the grill part two tipes of metals, is either angle iron facing up on a V shape welded to an angle iron frame with a slight tilt to the front of the grill with open end of the V shape angle iron extending about an inch out from the frame, then you place two angle iron together forming a U channel at the end with a tilt to one side that will drain the fat and juice into a hanging can on the end, that's one way. The second way and best way is using rebar not only for the log burning area, but also the grill at about 1 centimeter apart from each other, the expandable metal is used on the grill about a third of the grill and on the opposite side of the fire box, it is used to cook small pieces of meat that we eat in an asado, like inner parts of the animal, to include burgers and hot dogs tha we never eat on an asado lol. The fire box is also made with rebar and they are spaced about 3 to 4 inches apart in order for the coals to fall underneath in small pieces and you need a fire wall between the burn box an grill to hold the heat in the box and the heat on the grill is even all around the grill. Always place the wall bricks first then the floor that way it locks the uprights in place at the bottom and the top you guessed it rebar a couple of inches below the top end of the brick, that way if you need to replace a brick you simply slide it up. Finally to cook a good asado or poultry you know when you have the right temp on the grill is with your hand open palm dawn hold it about 3 inches from the grill and you should be able to hold it 10 seconds without out burning yourself and run it all around the cooking area or above the food 10 seconds is important if you hold it longer you need more heat in that area, if you hold it less is to much heat take same coals out and put them back in the fire box. Now you are argentinians griller lol if you have any questions let me know. Gus
