If you can only get one, The Weber kettle is the choice. Cheaper, lasts forever and you can grill and BBQ on it.
Absolutely.
I literally did what you’re talking about … I had a Kamado Joe, a Backwoods Chubby, a Weber Performer, a Weber GA, a Weber Smoky Joe, and a medium BGE. Ended up selling the lot and getting out of BBQ for a while, and once I got back into it, I just bought an SNS Kettle with some accessories.
Is it as perfect a smoker as the Backwoods, or as great as holding temp as the KJ? Nope. But it’s close enough that it doesn’t matter, the food still tastes amazing, and the more you learn the technique and the science of BBQ, the less important the equipment becomes. A great cook using a basic Weber kettle will turn out infinitely better food than a newbie on a $12k Kamado.
Hell, the old-timers turned out legendary BBQ with nothing more than a hole in the ground, some wire mesh, an empty oil drum and some rebar.
I aggree. The Kettle does everything good enough.
This is real, solid, first-hand analysis from an honest, down-to-earth guy. Love his videos. I have a Weber Summit and, have some difficulty with its leaking air, I replaced the lid - Weber was great and shipped the new lid free and fast - and love it. I have a bunch of high end hibachi (Mibrasa, eg) and a Kamado, but the Summit is my go to grill/smoker/slow cooker. Light, easy to use, sturdy and fun.
Thanks for coming by. I appreciate the kind words.
Years ago I was in the market for bbq and prepared to drop a lot of money. After all my research I purchased a used (but in great condition) Weber Performer for $80. I have since added a pellet grill but the kettle is still everyones favorite.
I agree.
I have an Ironwood 650, a Weber Spirit II, two PK’s and a Weber Performer. The Performer is by far the best all around grill/smoker.
Yep!
Loved your straight forward rankings. My one and only outdoor cooker right now is a Weber Kettle. Would love a flat top eventually!
I had a Camp Chef flat top, I loved it!... but, you really have to take care of it to keep it from rusting, which means you have to use it or you will spend more time re-seasoning it. Which is why there are a ton of videos on how to re-season a flat top.
I'm in love with my Weber Performance Grill. I smoke, grill and cook with it every chance I get.
It is why I have so many!
Your technical expertise is impressive, Johnny! I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. This one in particular makes me appreciate my Weber kettle even more. Thank you!
I love my Weber too!
I've cooked on a Weber for decades. I do think about about replacing it from time to time, but I just can't get past it's versatility. I thought about a pellet but realize I enjoy controlling the cook. It's a great excuse for just relaxing in my backyard by the pool while I do an 8 to 12 hr cook.
One thing I love about the pellet grill is I can put in a brisket and then go golfing and not have to worry about it at all.
I have the Weber Summit Kamado. Love it. It does everything and is double wall metal so it’s lighter than the ceramic Kamado’s. Doesn’t give that offset smoke flavor but definitely can get something that tastes good.
I almost bought a Summit when they first came out but at the time I could not afford it.
Awesome video, I completely agree!
Hey, thanks!
Cant beat the ol' Weber Kettle.
I agree.
Landed on your channel. Good to see another Texas BBQ brother
Thanks for coming, good luck with your channel.
This was an excellent comparison of the strengths for each style. I was not at all surprised by which one is your keeper😁
Thank you Bobbi!
That's a thorough comparison of these different cookers and very helpful for those that just can't decide. It would be tough to choose if I was forced to choose just one. My barrel has a blower, so it's convenient like a pellet grill, but it has the smoke flavor like an offset has without the babysitting. Can I just choose 3 or 4?😂
😃😀 we are lucky to be this business! I am going to have to get rid of some grills to make room for new ones!
Thanks for this in depth analysis. Cheers, Johnny!,👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Thanks for watching Dwayne.
Agree with the Golden’s cast iron Kamado Johnny. For one grill that does it all that’s the one! Happy New Year!
The GCI is so much fun, and produces great food.
Couldn't agree more with you on the rankings...man I really need to add a kamado to my lineup
Kamados are a lot of fun for sure.
I’m looking forward to that Weber! I also need one of those portable SNS Grills!
I’m looking forward to the new Sear Wood as well.
Completely agree on the offset winning the smoking category but temp control depends on your perspective. For instance, it takes a while for my KJ Big Joe to get up to any certain temp and if I overshoot by too much it might take a while to get it under control. So since I don’t have a pellet grill I give the highest marks in that category to my Texas Pit Crafters offset since all I need to do with a temp spike is shut the stack damper a bit and adjust the intake or door. Or add more fuel and open the vent as needed for more heat. Easy peasy. I just don’t have the temp range as I do on my grills. Versatility of my offset is fantastic, though, since its water pan in the bottom is designed to also hold charcoal for direct heat BBQ/medium heat grilling. I like direct heat chicken off it over my KJ any day, and that’s one reason my Big Joe needs to go. Anyhow, my favorite grill is my PK original and the PKTX folding cart makes it my favorite portable grill as well. As for accessories yeah the 22” Weber wins hands down. Everybody needs one.
Hey David. Sounds like your backyard looks like mine… Pitts everywhere!
@@Viewtoagrill yes sir. The struggle is real 😂
Nice vid Johnny! I'm very partial to my SNS kettle too. I also have added a Weber 22" kettle to the gang too, but use it mostly for Santa Maria cooking! Cheers! ~Chris
Thanks Chris! I appreciate you watching.
Fantastic comparison!
Thanks Dash!
GREAT video of reviewing different grills, Johnny! I've always used propane, but last year after finding your UA-cam channel and watching your videos, I switched to charcoal and wanted a Weber Kettle. In one of your videos you recommended the Weber Kettle Performer. I ended up buying it and am glad I did. Love it! Keep on grilling, Johnny. Really enjoy your YT videos. Cheers . . . 🍔🍺
Cheers!
Nice video also love my barrel smoker
I think there is a place for all of them. There is at my house anyway. Smokey Joe, Weber Kettle, Pit Boss pellet grill and a Cuisinart gas grill. I don't turn up my nose at gas. You can't beat the convenience.
Unfortunately, I do not have a barrel cooker. Love to try one😀
I agree with your results. I love cooking on my Akorn kamado, it's set and forget and puts out excellent food. It's my go to grill in the winter as it gets cold in Chicago. But if could only have one, the kettle all day. Can do anything and is pretty portable. As for pellet grills, I have the second gen SmokeFire and that thing sears almost as good as the kettle. It's become my go to for reverse searing.
I’m excited about the new Sear Wood that is coming out.
Good job with this difficult task. Soooo many variables that one can go into. For example the Kamado is technically a vertical cooker. Like the Webber webber smoky mountain, ugly drum smokers, Insulated Vertical Smoker's and a whole host of verticals powered by charcoal, propane, pellets wood and even electricity ( sooo many). Anyway I ask folks who ask the age old question of if I could only have one cooker what would that be? Simple, the Webber 22"kettle. For all the reasons you mentioned. I'd also suggest that same cooker if its their first time purchase getting into the world of bbq because you can do everything on it for not a lot of money. Then after they have been using it for awhile and they have a good understanding of bbq and they want to do something more specific like smoking to then get a 2nd cooker that specializes in smoking. It won't be long before they begin to understand why so many of us have so many different kinds of cookers. I use my offset ( I have two) the least of my cookers. But i wouldn't ever consider getting a rid of either of them. Nothing puts on a better heavy smoke flavor onto the food then a offset. I love firing up a offset early on a Sunday morning during the fall for making pulled pork and brisket for the football games. Sitting next to that warn firebox and feeding it on those cool mornings while watching the games? Priceless 😊🏈🍻🔥😋.Johnny have a great day.
Hey Victor, I had the idea for this video last year and did not make the video because my first list was 18 bullet points and the video would have gone on forever. So this time. I cut it down to 8… and it made for a shorter video and I think more interesting. Take care Victor.
@Viewtoagrill you did a great job. This is ALWAYS a difficult subject. Folks who are new to bbq just want "the best" cooker, meat, recipes etc. We know from all the years of doing bbq that there's just to many variables. In my opinion there isn't really any "best" answers to most of these types of questions. But the newbies who ask these questions don't understand that. And you can have ten top pitmasters who could answer ten different ways. That said it is fun to discuss right? And beer, drink lots of beer while discussing. 😁👍🍻🔥
Exactly Victor, nothing like BBQ Bantor and Beer!
Nice comparison. I agree, love my kettle, but I will never part with my Goldens’.
Exactly why I said I would keep the GCI!
For the rest of my life? It would have to be a mill scale. It's a lot of work but I'd rather have something incredibly dependable that's going to last me into my golden years and pass on to my family after. It could serve the next generation if properly cared for.
Mill Scale makes a beautiful pit.
good stuff bro
Appreciate it JB.
Oof. Made right before the Spider Huntsman was released
I have seen that grill... looks nice.
You have some really nice choices! All of which have their own special offerings, given specific needs. We are proud that you considered our kamado in the mix and deeply appreciate it. One thing is certain. No matter your grilling needs, our kamado, that bakes, smokes, sears and grills, will last generations! And even though the mini kamado 14" little brother is 123lbs, consider that an ant-theft deterrent, no matter where you take it! 😎🔥
For all of those reason and the pure enjoyment I get out of bbqing on the GCI is why I would not be able to part with it.
Interesting video. I have the same Weber Performer kettle as you, the Weber Spirit 2 E-310 gas grill, the Kamado Joe JR with the IKEA table mod and the small Weber Q1200 gas grill. I like all of them a lot but the Weber Performer kettle is the one i use the most. I really like that grill and i often use it with the Slow N’ Sear Deluxe and several accessories such as the Weber Wok Pan, the dutch oven and rotisserie sets.
All the best, Johnny.
Sounds like we have a very similar setup.
@@Viewtoagrill You inspired me to buy the Weber Performer kettle and the Slow N’ Sear Deluxe, after watching your videos.
Great video. Have you ever played around with drum smokers
I have not. I should probably get one.
Great objective review.
Thanks Ric.
Why not compare a propane or natural gas grill in the mix as well?
Hello MacD. I do not own any propane or natural gas grills. I did own a flat top once but I no longer have it.
Hi Johnny,
I like that hat. Do you remember where you got it?
Thanks,
Mike
My son got that hat as my Christmas present. It’s a Columbia hat so maybe the website?
@@Viewtoagrill I’ll check. Thanks Johnny. God bless!
