Weber is just a fantastic company. I have 2 kettles (one is the performer deluxe), a weber genesis 2, and a weber Smokey mountain. I’ve got a ton of accessories for them, too. One tool for the kettle that I think is missing from your list is a wire brush, though!
I think you’re correct! I assumed, but shouldn’t have that most would know that! I’m going to pin your comment!
@@GulfCoastSmoke by the way what kind of traegar do you have?
Ironwood 650! Overall, I do like it a lot!
@@GulfCoastSmoke thanks! I’m in the market for a pellet smoker and was curious what you had!
It’s great! I used to have a recteq and personally I’d choose Traeger every day of the week
Pulled my Weber kettle out out the shed last year. Has been collecting dust for the last 20+ years. Got in in 1983! Added a couple sns accessories and now use it frequently.
It’s just such a dang good cooker!
Wow! Vintage! Want to sell it to me? 😎
We did the same thing. Dug it out after 18 years. Cleaned up beautifully. Two new grills and its like new. Bought a Vortex so I can get into the modern days.
The OG Weber is really all you need. Grill, smoke, whatever....it can do it all. I just got back into the kettle game after about 10 years of barrel/pellet grills. Got the same copper one in your video for $119 from Lowe's recently. Floor model for half off? Yes please lol!
My wife scored me the 26” model . I love her . The Weber that is
Hahaha! I want a 26!!
I'm jealous of your table, my man. Love my Weber, it's eleven years old and still going strong, they'll last forever with a little love and care.
I use the Weber baskets, I think they help me use less charcoal, plus they make grilling a chicken super easy. You're absolutely correct that a chimney starter is a must have!
I love my table! My Pops made it for me bro it’s so awesome! I think it’s awesome you use the baskets! I like seeing that people do it differently than me!
I'm jealous of the table too
What kind of wood is made of? Is there much to do to protect the wood from the heat of the Weber?
My Dad just made it with some scrap yellow pine he had! He put a heat resistant gasket inside the circle he cut out on the table
Kettles are so easy to use and very versatile. So good for beginners and seasoned pitmasters!
Well said!
Truly my favorite grill! Can’t go wrong with a Kettle!
Great video. Weber grills are so simple to use, I think this is the reason they are often overlooked as one of the premier grills out there. I've been using Weber grills for the better part of the past 30 years and they are the only charcoal grill I recomend. Thanks for sharing.
Great USEABLE info for a Weber newbie like me. Thank you sir.
The expansion rack I feel is a fantastic accessory. It doesn’t break the bank but it adds so much extra grill space or as you said keeps the food just that little bit extra height away from the hot coals. Love the videos, keep up the stellar work!
Thanks a whole bunch! I definitely think it’s a highly underrated tool!!
Man, I love my 3 Weber Kettles! I barely use my offset anymore. The clutch Weber I have is my Smokey Joe!! It’s perfect for the wife and I
Man, I neglect my offset a lot too because I’m always using the Weber’s! They’re such great cookers!!
This was a interesting video. I have been putting off starting my own channel for over a year and intend to put up some content in the next week or so. That said I was happy to see a 101 type video on the webber kettle. My first video will be a similar 101 type video using the kettle and showing folks how to grill a steak. I believe to many folks who use pellet cookers never learned how to properly grill a steak. This now also includes folks using those large griddles they are calling "flat tops". Those cookers are all well and nice but they are limited by folks getting a good foundation on how to grill. Then with a good understanding of grilling learn to move onto bbq and smoking. Anyway your video was a good example. I would add however that the additional tools you showed would mostly not make my list. The chimney starter is a good start but not necessary. My grandfather taught me how to use a #10 can for charcoal starting about 56 years ago. Long before anyone was making chimney starters. The vortex, the slow and sear? Both a a waste of money. Just bank all your coals on one side and you have both indirect or direct with one setup. Use the smaller disposable aluminum tray to add water for more even and high humidity for certain cooks,especially long bbq & smoking cooks plus catch drippings. A probe style thermometer is good,yes. But I would add some quality long tongs, a sturdy long handled spatula. Paper towels. A good although not expensive set of trays, one for raw meat and a separate tray for cooked meats ( always two to keep from getting cross contamination) and a good lighter. I went ahead and subscribed to your channel so I can check out your other videos. I'll probably leave a few comments along the way. Be prepared, I tend to leave long comments. Anyway have a great day 🌤 😀 🔥🍻🥩🐟🎣🍔🍗
If you have the budget and your heart is somewhat set on a kamado, I won't try to change your mind, but the Weber Kettle with the accessories covered here (especially the SnS and Vortex) is my go-to recommendation for anyone who wants to expand beyond gas grills. Throw in a rib rack if you want to cook more than one slab at a time.
Do not assume this means that the Kettle is a "beginner or starter grill/smoker." Rather, it's more of a jack of all trades vs. a specialized grill or smoker. And, as you learn more about what and how you like to cook, you can expand into other types of cookers. But these most likely would augment your Kettle instead of replace it.
Weber Kettle IMHO is the best bang for your buck! Such a great cooker, and my favorite cooker in my arsenal. I’ve been VERY curious about the sNs Kettle. Have you tried it or seen them?
Part of me really wants to see how good it is. The other part of me almost cannot go away from Weber.
@@GulfCoastSmoke The Weber Kettle really is a great value. I have the original SnS insert with the welded-in water reservoir, the spinning grate, and the drip/griddle pan. I think these are must have accessories. A Vortex (small) and a rib rack would be highly recommended, but perhaps not must-haves.
These accessories definitely increase the price and put it into SnS Kettle territory, (which comes with some of these accessories depending on the model). I haven't tried the SnS Kettle, but have seen some videos and think they look like a solid product. Basically, they're a Weber Kettle with some nice quality of life improvements.
Personally, I'd likely stick with the Weber. One of the benefits is just how ubiquitous accessories and replacement parts are for it. You can even find some in your big box hardware stores. While many accessories are likely compatible with the SnS Kettle, you never know. If I wanted an "upgrade," I'd either get the Performer Premium with the side cart or I might go for a 26" version. I'd appreciate the extra room of the 26" when grilling with the SnS and the larger size would make temp control a little easier for indirect, low-and-slow cooks.
@@GulfCoastSmoke that SnS kettle apparently comes with a SnS included. Total price is not bad at all
I realllllly want to try one! I’ve had it in my cart about 10 different times lol
@@GulfCoastSmoke I just bought the SnS attachment on a lark, since I had to get replacement one-touch cleaner vents. They stick after a while. Been thinking about that vortex though for myself
Great vid and insight!
Yeeeeee
Thanks for the great info. I’ve got a lil tabletop Weber that I have used for years, but I’ve been grilling more and need a full sized grill.
I have the 26" kettle because I wanted more real estate. I recently bought a Hunsaker Kettle Air Diverter which I can not recommend enough. So much cheaper than the SNS and fits like a glove. If I need water, i use the aluminum pan like you. I have numerous charcoal baskets (even made a Bro-N-Sear) but this thing is the cat's PJ's. I have a weber Genisis gas grill as well. Weber makes great products and I can't speak enough good things about Weber. I have my Weber chargcoal grill mounted in a table too. If there were any criticism about the grill, it would be the wimpy legs. My gas grill doesn't see much action. The vortex is great for wings.
Man this has me rethinking why I got a 3k offset shipped from Texas 😂. I just got this Weber also and am so encouraged by everyone’s results.
My first time watching your channel. Really like your effort. This is the way a UA-cam video is done. Very informative, open , honest especially on how you acquired all your product. I think it’s really important to know if the product was was something you received for promotion or you actually paid for it as that let’s me know the products worth to you as a griller. Again fantastic video…I’ll be watching many more.
Thanks so much! We try our best to put out videos y’all will enjoy, and I’m really glad you are enjoying the videos!
Slow n sear is a must for the kettle. Perfect 2 zone cooking. Great vid. Cheers.
I agree! Such a great device! I appreciate you 🤝🤝
Take a look at the Hunsaker air diverter.
How long of a cook do you get with it?
A Weber kettle is all I need.
FACTS!
I love my Weber Kettle grill. It is perfect since my kids are gone and when I grill it is just for my wife and myself.
Can't wait to get my own!
You will love it!
Great video bro 👍🙂 Just subbed 💪🏽
Appreciate you brotha! Welcome!!
Amazing video as always. Very informative.
I’m actually in the middle of deciding which kettle to get. It will be my first.
I I’m kind of leaning towards the master
Touch. Because I’d comes with a few accessories.
Thank you for making this video.
I appreciate you bro.
I appreciate you for watching, brother! I think you’re going to love your Kettle!!
I highly recommend the master touch due to the lid holder alone. It’s a little taller than the premium too if you’re a taller guy. The charcoal baskets are pretty much useless if you get a slow ‘n sear (like Alonzo mentioned) but I would definitely grab one of those in the future once you get the hang of it. Good luck with your kettle! 😁
@@huckinator thank you so much for your reply. I’ve never owned a kettle. But I’ve been looking at the master touch.
@@Derek.Naquin awesome! I hope you decide to get one. They’re so much fun to cook on!
Great video! I was surprised you don't use the two charcoal baskets much. They make the perfect size cooking zone for value packs of chicken, if you like them indirect-grilled.
I honestly just never use them, not sure why! I do prefer two zone cooking but if I need a divider I've been using the Slow 'N Sear!
Great job bro!! Have a rack of Dino Ribs on my Weber kettle right now. I'm using the SNS charcoal basket. Using the minion method. Thanks for sharing. Keep on Grill'n.
Thank you, brotha! I know those are going to turn out GREAT! I appreciate you being here my man!
I have 4 weber kettles.. 2- 22" weber kettle, 1 weber kettle performer & jumbo joe..I have the vortex & weber baskets..Don't have the s & s yet but hopefully in the near future.. Aldo want the spin grate too
The kettle is so amazing. My wife was so mad when I got four of them not realizing each one is set up for a different purpose. She no longer complains and enjoys all the food that I cook (that she doesn’t). Now if Weber would stock jacking up the prices.
They are getting higher in price! They cook so damn well. Have you ever tried the sNs Kettle? I am so curious and want to try one but I'm not sure what to think!
I just picked up the weber master touch last week. I've already grilled some great stuff, I'm doing chicken wings today using the vortex. I started out with a pit boss pellet smoker then got a rectec bulls eye. Then about 8 months ago I got a Oklahoma Joe bronco drum smoker. Since then I haven't used the pellet grills. I love that bronco for smoking. I kinda went backwards.... I just really love smoking a grilling with real charcoal. Thanks for the video. My wife is mad at you because this video is the one that caused me to go out and buy yet another grill...lol. keep up the good work man!
Hahahaha! Please tell her I’m sorry 😂😂😂
I have been looking at those Bullseyes! They’re awesome! Do you enjoy it?
@@GulfCoastSmoke it's a bad ass lil grill. Same size shape and everything like a Weber.. it's just wood pellets instead of charcoal. Some ways that's great and some ways it isn't...
I have both the Vortex and the slow-n-sear. The vortex is amazing for the wings... That's really all I use it for... I use the slow and sear daily almost, because I really only use the kettle for grilling... I have an Oklahoma Joe drum smoker, a Pitt boss Navigator pellet grill, and a Weber Kettle.. If I had to evacuate and could only take one, it would be the Weber Kettle. Best outdoor cooking tool under $400 ever made...
I turn my vortex upside down and flash cook steaks. I have the gourmet grill and bought the cast iron insert.
Steaks come out perfect with the diamond sear pattern.....
Check out the Kettlel cooking zone accessory for the Weber 22", it's a game changer
Nice job. I’m not convinced on that raised rack. I think I need to see it in action.
I’ll show it in action soon!
I am recently retired, not that it has anything to do what I'm going to say because I love cooking out and always have. I have a Weber gas grill, a Blackstone griddle grill, a Brinkman smoker (a small one I've never used), and two Weber kettle grills - the 18' one and I think it's the 22' that I just added last summer. I tried several times to use the kettle that is bigger. I have looked online, watched numerous videos, gone to Weber's site for tips and did everything everyone says to do to get a hot grill and maintain the temperature. I have a chimney starter and the charcoal baskets. I just can't seem to get the temperature, one, to get hot enough for a good sear, and two, get ANY fire to stay hot. I basically gave up on it. I'll try it again this spring, but I guess I just don't "have" the knack. Great video though, and thanks for this.
What type of briquettes are you using? Are you filling the chimney up fully before starting it? Don’t give up on it! The Kettle is such a great cooker!!
The best!!!
Everrrrr
Love my Kettles. I have 18 inch OG's but sometimes wonder if I should just get one 22 incher 🤔
The charcoal baskets are a must for me. Very easy and good to grill meat indirect
I feel like it’s easy to do just by moving my charcoal to one side or the other but if you like them a lot I think that’s great! Overall, Kettle cooking is just so awesome
@@GulfCoastSmoke Yes I understand. Im verry Happy with my Weber ball barbeque. In Belgium in flemish we say ball bbq. 😁. Well about the baskets I think the charcoal can stapled higher, so hotter zones for sear the meat. Without baskets you need more coal to get them higher and closer to the grate. Do you understand what I want to say? With my bad english??
I understand fully! I’m glad you like your Weber that much!!
I don’t know what problem you have with the built in temp gauge. I find it to be very accurate! I would contact Weber if you believe the temp gauge is defective. I wish Weber would install temp gauges for temps greater than 600 degrees because their charcoal and gas grills can exceed that level! Also, I use an electric fire starter when I only want to ignite some of the charcoal if I am going to be smoking at low temps.
I’ve done lots of testing with my Thermoworks Smoke and it’s way off. Maybe mine is just a bad one but no matter, temps to me on my Kettle are no biggie
@@GulfCoastSmoke mine is to and it's in the same position as yours. I was cooking at 280F last night at grate level and the Weber thermometer was reading 350F so around on par with yours. It's a widely known fact :)
I would add a grill brush to must have accessories, but great video.
I agree with you! You absolutely need a good grill brush!
Another option is a griddle plate. Game changer for my 22” kettles
Yup for sure! I’ve been using the hell out of mine!
Great video. Where did you get your apron from?
We had them made! We just sold our last one two days ago
You're the GOAT!
💙🧡💙🧡
@3:50, about that thermometer, I’ve been watching mine for about a year now, with my main thermometer being a Thermopro. The Weber thermometer is generally about 50 degrees low.
Yeah, that’s about exactly how mine is!
Mines 50-70 degrees higher haha
The Weber kettle is truly a great bbq
You are correct! I love mine so much! Hard to beat it
Just now subscribe to your Channel. Just bought me my First Weber kettle it's a 22 original I guess is what it. It was 139 dollars. Already cooked on it one time so far, hamburger , hot dog and three steaks. And I can tell you this I have no idea what the heck on doing LOL.😅 I'm thinking the next thing I'm getting will be the vertex Grill to put in it. Thanks for these videos
There’s lots of used kettles around too, I have 4 and the most I paid was $100 for a mastertouch.
No doubt! Facebook Marketplace always has some!
That's the deal. If you can get a used one at a great price, you dang sure win because these things last forever.
What do you think about the 26” Weber? Would like it if Weber had a performer in that size.
I want to do something similar. What is the stuff between the kettle and the wood table top?
It’s a high heat gasket!
I’m looking to do some leg Quarters
Burgers. And some sausage.
I have the Weber charcoal baskets I’m looking to do one basket on the side and cook on the indirect side.
Do you think one basket of charcoal will be enough?
It will be about 4 leg quarters a few burgers and a few links of sausage!!
I think you should use two! And you can still put them to one side though! One might not be enough!
Have you already done a brisket? Great video btw
I have, but I’ve never done one on the Kettle for a video!
Some store cost usd350-500 here which is quiet expensive so I settle with USD121 portable char griller.
I have a kettle, I'm waiting to use it, I had a gas one that I got rid of not happy with it, and it was big, too big for me, I'm looking forward to using my kettle for the first time 😊, mine is on a circular stand 4 wheels
You’re going to love it!
@@GulfCoastSmoke yea I know
Where’s the link for that grilling apron
I truly believe that anyone who grills at any level needs a kettle. It's what I, and I'm sure many other started out with. Don't get me wrong, I'll use any brand of grill, I love Oklahoma Joe's. But I will always have a kettle. Right now I'm just trying to decide what color 70th anniversary kettle I want to go with.
I want one bad! Just don’t have the room for it and honestly can’t justify it lol
@@GulfCoastSmoke hopefully one day I'll have the same problem 😂
What color did ya settle on? I just purchase one in Hot Rod Yellow! It's a beaut!
I like heigh adjustment when cooking over coals/wood hence staying with my traditional parrilla.The webers are a good bbq other than that and they are way to small.
I gotta know, where did you get that table from?
My father built it for me!
Love my jumbo joe
So fun to cook on!
What size is the vortex that you have
It’s the M one! I got it on Amazon
@@GulfCoastSmoke thanks !
Where you get that sweet hat???
We got that directly from B&B! We are one of their sponsored cooks!
Love my kettle but the thermometer opposite the top vent is worthless to me for 2 zone grilling where the vent is typically over the food. I guess it’s ok if you aren’t but…
I agree with you, tbh. I’ve been eyeing that SNS Kettle HARD!!! But man idk. What do you think?
@@GulfCoastSmoke TBH, I don’t get a positive vibe from those guys. I’m sure they make great products but to me they come off a lil crappy on videos. I would love to have the slow and sear basket but won’t buy it because of that🤦♂️🤷♂️✌️.
I was literally looking at them on the website as you replied! Lol. Was thinking of buying one so I could do an honest review on which one I like more
Tip: never pay for an original Slow n Sear. There are much cheaper versions out there for a fraction of the cost that does exactly the same thing :) Even just making a pile on 1/3 of the weber area will do just fine :)
That’s why I put it as a nice to have item but not a necessity in my eyes!
@@GulfCoastSmoke Agreed! wasn't directed towards you but more to whoever finds my comment and is interested in a gadget like that :) awesome video mate, cheers from Holland
@@Technoane it’ll help save the porcelain coating. that’s the main positive in my opinion
All I got that you like more direct heat.
Letss gooo
You’ve been here a long time you know what it is!
On an uneven surface having 3 legs is better. On a flat surface 4 is better.
Do you really have to use the tube thing to start a fire
You don’t HAVE to but I’ve just found it’s my favorite way to do it. I don’t hate lighter fluid but I don’t prefer it!
I call the bottom vents, ash holes…
Heck yeah! I can feel that
@@GulfCoastSmoke this is a good review on the Weber. I’m pretty new to this grill and this was helpful. As always, thanks for your videos; they’re great!
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for sticking around, hope you’re here with us for a long time!
@@GulfCoastSmoke I will be :)
Why a webber alonzo??
My kettle puts out just as good smoked pork butts as my big green egg.
No doubt! It’s such a good cooker!
So versitile
No lies told!!
You may want to work with S&S instead of Weber. Most of your equipment seems to be aftermarket gadgets
I don’t work with Weber or SNS at all! But SNS did send me a Kettle and I love it!
Why do people spend money on a spinning grate when its so easy to modify the stock one to spin, with a simple grinder.
I actually didn’t purchase it, SNS Grills sent it to me. I really like the ability to spin for sure, so it’s cool to know that you can modify it on your own! Maybe I can make a video on that!
@@GulfCoastSmoke definitely, I purchased my kettle after watching all you guys videos using the kettle and spinning the grate to cook to find out the stock grate does not spin. With a little grinding on the areas that prevent it from spinning it now spins perfect 👌
I’m going to try that on my new Kettle!! Thanks for the tip!
Weber is way overprized. Especially the accesoires. (At least over here in Europe) .The chassis of the Master Touch really is not a steady one. I see you have a customized setting... The only good thing is the quality of the kettle enamel, imho.
I have to disagree on the price. It’s extremely affordable and I feel like the average Backyard cook can for sure afford one. IMO you don’t need any attachments at all, they’re just nice additions!
Buss it wide open ..
PAUSE
LOL
Surrounding a grill with wood just seems like an unnecessary fire hazard.
How about a whole turkey? I've done breasts and drums, but I've never done a whole bird
I could definitely try that!!
@@GulfCoastSmoke Sweet!!! My wife told me I could get a new grill if I could do a whole turkey.... 26.5 inch Weber Kettle on order 😉
@@crazyhillbilly2181 Let’s goooooo! I want one of those too!
So you love it because of the same reason everyone loves it? Cool.
Hey, man! I hope your day gets better! Just trying to make a video that may help someone out. If it doesn’t help you, you just shouldn’t watch 😃
Your outgoing music is out of place.
You can’t expect the lid to be the same as the temperature on the great
