    I'm a kettle smoker/griller only since its just me and my wife. The Weber takes care of our needs. I'm a welder so I fabricated a barrier out of 16 ga. SS similar to the slow n sear minus the water reservoir. Same principle as the chunk of firewood method shown. I've had good results and learn something every time I cook. Internal thermometer probe and a grill level probe is what works for me. Thanks for the video.

    Thank you so much. I'm already doing my bbq perfectly. Brisket is the only meat I haven't done, a bit scared it, coz it's expensive and I might ruin it. But you taught me now how to do it perfectly. I love all your videos, and I even followed your recipes. I hope one day, I will see both of you and cook with you guys.

  • @budsa

    Great video! I did a similar method to the firewood off-set by using patio bricks as the wall to prevent the radiation heat and it completely changed my Weber kettle. I will definitely try this. In Australia our best wood to use for this is probably going to be red gum.

  • @peppers6037
    @peppers6037 3 роки тому +1

    Do grilled brisket tacos (the best)
    1.) Slice raw brisket thin
    2.) Season with season all or lawrys
    3.) Grill on high heat (watch for flare up's because of high fat content)
    4.) Using a clever chop meat (because of toughness)
    5.) Serve on grilled corn tortilla (chopped onion, cilantro, lime, and salsa opcional)
    Creamy green salsa (most people think it has avocado but its a lie)
    1.) Grill 5 jalapenos 2 serranos 2 cloves of garlic and a 1/4 onion
    2.) Once charred blend everything together
    3.) Crucial step slowly drizzle canola oil while blending to emulsify (if oil seperates stop and remove excess oil and reblend)
    4.) Add salt to taste (even though it has a lot of peppers it is not a very spicy salsa. Really creamy in texture)

  • @raaz1zn
    @raaz1zn 3 роки тому

    I use 2 bricks instead of the wood block. Place foil on the charcoal grate at the bottom under the meat to catch drips and raise also helps direct airflow to the coal. I also use a small stainless steel bowl with water on the grill over the fire to add moisture.

  • @zhiduk
    @zhiduk 3 роки тому +9

    My question is, did you have to add charcoal to this throughout the cook?
    The big benefit of snake method is that you don't have to add coals and thereby interrupt the cook.
    Great video. Thanks!

  • @Disastrousmedia
    @Disastrousmedia 3 роки тому

    My two favorites for smoking In a kettle are the snake method and using a slow and sear. I understand not everyone has a slow and sear but I've smoked a brisket using the snake method and it came out phenomenal, just rotate the grate as the fire burns to keep your meat on the indirect side 👍

  • @bartclan
    @bartclan 3 роки тому

    I've always had a kettle grill until my most recent move to Europe. Was planning on buying another one, but managed to win a pellet grill in a local contest (yea!), but this video ROCKED. Great content for when I go back to a kettle grill. I've used the water pan between charcoal and had good ribs, but I can see how this method would produce a better "low and slow" cook. Great content!

    I like to watch how you set up things, start to finish, from lighting up the bbq or smoker. Then how you prepare the meat, tips what works best andwhat not to do, also using different types of grills and tools you use really helps when things are explained because there is no instructions it is all trial and error , Keep up the great work guys!

  • @pmac1096
    @pmac1096 3 роки тому +1

    Even though your coals are below your firewood, I still don’t think the meat is protected enough from direct heat.
    I got a 14” pizza stone and put it on top of my vortex (in my 22” Weber Kettle). The pizza stone sits just below my grill grate. Then I build my snake around the vortex and place the meat directly over the pizza stone and the pizza stone acts as the heat shield.

    More of this please Roel, my problem is maintaining temperatures during a cook. I do need a better setup to be honest but if i can master it on a cheaper set up it would put me in a good position when i can afford a more expensive setup. Keep on Grilling 😃

    • @dcgregorya5434
      @dcgregorya5434 3 роки тому

      The cheapest I'd go is a Weber Smokey Mountain or a Pit Barrel. Below that...you can do it but its gonna be a ton of work and probably not work that well.
      I started on a $70 offset and mostly what I learned was don't buy a $70 offset...heat was constantly an issue...I'd put a handful of chips over the coals and my heat would spike to 300 because it was so small and the metal so thin that it couldn't stay low with 3 wood chips and some charcoal.
      One tip is use good lump charcoal because otherwise cleaning out ash mid cook is a real problem.

  • @roguetrail9495
    @roguetrail9495 3 роки тому

    Very interesting!!
    I’ll give this a try. I use the snake method; however I keep the meat as far away from the heat as possible. Additionally, on the Weber I rotate the grate to make sure the meat is parallel with the heat. Last step is that I make sure the top vent is above the meat to draw the smoke over it… Look forward to giving this a try.
    Oh.. One last thing is that I have the wood under the charcoal to make sure it has a clean burn.

  • @patrickhenry236
    @patrickhenry236 3 роки тому

    Briquettes will work, but only if you use good quality natural briquettes like Kingsford. Second step, to get clean smoke you have to run the grill at the right temperature. Running too low or with too little fuel will give dirty smoke.
    I did a smoke over 8 hours on a Boston butt after the weather got decent several months back, wrapped halfway through. Did it offset with a water pan on one side for a stock weber 22 inch kettle. I had almost 3 cups of meat juice after pulling it, and I mixed about half of it back in until it melted the bark and made its own natural bbq sauce from the rub.
    It was enough that a few pellet brill users raised their eyebrows after tasting it, and they no longer try to convince me to trade out my kettle for a pellet burner.

  • @stevepool8034
    @stevepool8034 3 роки тому

    Roel,
    Your method reminds me of the Slow n Sear method without the $99 stainless steel basket and water trough. Gonna give it a try. 👍🏻

  • @jakefr5150
    @jakefr5150 3 роки тому

    I’ve tried all of these methods over the years on my kettles - they all work great if you know their shortcomings. I use a method that is closest the the last one shown. Mine uses a custom basket I made from parts of 2 Weber baskets bolted together forming a jumbo basket to create a similar effect of the log. Always works well with smoke wood or foil packets of chips. Like you, I no longer use briquettes - too much ash and the acrid smoke is a definite way to ruin any cook.

Just bought a Slow & Sear this week because I was going crazy with the deflector plate system in my Weber Kettle Master Touch, where as soon as I put it on, I would choke the fire and produce nasty white smoke. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Slow & Sear system!

  • @fredgarv79
    @fredgarv79 3 роки тому

    Or, just get an offset smoker with the firebox on the side and a baffle plate to deflect the heat. the smoke goes underneath the meat and you can do it low and slow. But I love your videos, you do an outstanding job and tons of helpful hints and ideas. cheers

  • @anthonykiousopoulos8872
    @anthonykiousopoulos8872 3 роки тому

    I used the snake method not in a kettle bbq but in a rectangular bbq with the briquettes on one side and the meat under the chimney on the other side and it worked just fine. I agree that in a kettle you probably will have direct heat issues.

    You can do the same thing with the offset waterpan from Method 2. Just move your meat over. I put a slow & sear in my Napoleon Kettle, and it never leaves. Keeps my grill cleaner, gives me a definite 2 zone setup, and I just like it.

  • @dadssmokehouse
    @dadssmokehouse 3 роки тому +1

    A great way to run the Snake without radiation heat is to use something like the Vortex in the middle with the wide end up, this blocks the radiation heat, works perfect for pork butts! And, you really dont have to spend time making the snake nice and neat. 😉
    Another way to have your heat to the side without the radiation heat is using something like the Slow 'n Sear, which has a built-in water reservoir and has a convienant charcoal grate in the bottom.
    For large cuts like a 20lb brisket or 4-6 racks of ribs I use a pizza pan mod that I made, works awesome and I can use the entire 26" of my kettle's cooking grate space and still cook indirectly! 👍😁
