  • This is a fully narrated, charcoal grilling tutorial of how to make uncooked Johnsonville Brats (bratwurst) on a charcoal grill. This video features raw Johnsonville beer brats and original brats. Also, I demonstrate how to grill hot dogs toward the end of the video.
    This video walks you through how to prepare the grill, what grilling tools you'll need, charcoal type and lighter fluid demonstration, what to look for in a healthy fire, how to identify when the charcoal embers are ready, and how to use your grill's oxygen inlet and chimney.
    Must watch with the sound on! Enjoy the sights and sounds of sizzling brats on the grill while learning a thing or two about charcoal grilling.

    A couple of tips....ditch the lighter fluid and use a chimney starter.....give the brats a good sear (be careful not to get them too hot and break the casing) on all sides and then move them off the coals, throw a wood chunk onto the coals and close the lid (250 was perfect). Just let them sit for about 30 min and then you can start checking doneness with an instant-read thermometer.

      I still don't understand why people still use fluid. I simple use a chimney and the outside layers of the bag as the starter fuel.

    Thank you for showing this video. I wasn't sure to parboil the brats first then cook but I see you just through on the grill as raw and not cooked. Good to know and yes I must agree. Charcoal chimney makes all the difference. Also another tip use the paper from the charcoal bar for the flame source. Works so good. no wood chips. no lighter fluid or anything and these chimneys are around $15 for Kingford brand. I bought 2 of them in past week cause there that good plus you can increase the production of coal for longer cooks as such for ribs like I made just yesterday. Seeing rips take about 2hrs to cook.

    Try cooking the brats indirectly instead. No flare-ups and you'll get a more even cook. Also, use an instant read thermometer or a digital grill thermometer for temp. Don't cut into the brat, you'll lose all the juicy goodness.

    You lost me at Lighterfluid, great way to ruin a grill though, use a starter chimney. The lighterfluid is benzene based fuel, this leaves a bad flavor on all your food, more importantly it coats the inside of your grill with petrol base oils that forever ruin a good smoking seasoning you could have developed.

      Fluid like all gas or petroleum base will burn off fast. If you are tasting fluid you didn't let it burn off lol. I don't use fluid but you guys make up these stories about changing taste lol or you read it somewhere and much like today's society you parrot what you read.
      As.for the inside of your grill, it's impossible for the petroleum base to stick as you don't close the lid til the coals are ashed over and like I pointed out before. That fluid is long .been burned off lol.
      But yes use a chimney..
