Charcoal cooking is actually very easy with a short learning curve. Don't get a feel for it on salmon or New York strip. Pork steak and hamburger ( no leaner than 80%) turn out awesome. Hot dogs are the best test subjects,
Nice video... I prefer to use old newspaper as fuel to ignite the charcoal on the chimney... as it has less chemicals, but using just two cubes and waiting for them to be consumed completely does the trick as well. My Kettle Grill has two years now and being used around 52 times per year and it is looking perfect... no wonder why it has such an extended warranty. Still I prefer my Summit as it can reach higher temperatures and it's cheaper to use... but the Kettle is more fun to use.
Saying a 2000 dollar grill is cheaper than a grill starting at $165 for the 22" is foolish. If you use your grill 52 times a year and a whole bag of charcoal each time (you wouldn't) it would take you a little less than 4 years at $10 a bag of Kingsford 20lbs. If we follow Weber's recommendations of a 2 zone with 50 briquets, that weigh .9oz each, which comes out to 2.8lbs per setup, we we are looking at 7 uses a bag. So $1.5 a use. So it will take you $2000 - $165= $1835/$1.5 = 1223 uses. Or 23 years with 52 uses a year... Yea. Not cheaper all said and done.
Agree music is loud. Our issue is with temperature, close the lid it gets up to 450 we expect it to decrease when we open it but dropped 100° and takes forever to get back to 300. We've tried a lot of different things but still have problems? What advice can you offer? TYIA!
I have an 18-inch Weber Kettle Grill. About how many briquets should be used when grilling ONE steak? What advantage does the "chimney" have over placing the briquets directly on the grate then lighting them up?
Hi, great question! The easiest method for lighting any kind of charcoal is to use a chimney starter. When grilling, fill your Chimney Starter all the way to the top with charcoal (you can use less if you aren’t cooking as much food). For more information: www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/how-to-use-a-chimney-starter/weber-30557.html
If you’re going to make the music that loud might as well have used one of my copyright free instrumentals 👀. Also have a good BBQ seasons out there, may your lawn be short, beer cold and BBQs hot 🫡
Hi! We suggest a 30-minute burn-in period. The same charcoal can be used as the burn-in. Hopefully, this helps. If you need anything further please let us know. Thank you!
Much the same as washing new kitchen machines or utensils. At home we heat our ovens so why any different than out in the garden. Received Corona vaccine today so out in the garden very soon. Have fun, safe eating.
Hi! We do recommend a burn off the first time and also wash the grates with warm soapy water before using the grill. Hopefully this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Great video. Explanation spot on. Glad i switched to a weber. Out of curiosity, I usually have unused charcoal under the charcoal I used to start. Is this not the best way? Or is the weber shape just better in that way?
@s kasthuri I have same grill with 2 airflow, 1 is on the same as it grill and 1 is at the bottom, but the trouble is that whenever I cover my grill, coals didn't work and extinguished. What should I do? Can u guide?
Hi! It sounds like your charcoals may not be fully ready when you cover the grill. It is important that the charcoal burns for a while before spreading it. We recommend using a charcoal chimney starter. www.weber.com/CA/en/blog/burning-questions/how-to-use-a-chimney-starter/weber-30557.html Please see this article for more information. It is also important to keep the bottom damper completely open, and adjust the top (lid) damper so the holes are open to provide proper airflow. This article has more troubleshooting steps: www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/why-wont-my-charcoal-grill-get-hot/weber-29952.html Please let us know if we can provide further advice or assistance. Thank you!
You only need to use 1 lighter cube. Not sure why everyone suggests using 2... it's a waste. 1 cube easily gets a full chimney going in no time. SAVE YOUR CUBES, PEOPLE!
Hi Ann, congratulations on your new grill! Our grill grates does not need to be seasoned. Just be sure to pre-heat your grill on high heat for 15-20 minutes, brush the grates clean with a stainless steel bristle brush, before placing your food and you should be all good to go! Happy Grilling!
@@GrillwithWeber thanks. Have a smoker Joe also but second hand, bought my my daughter one also :) love love love then think I did 3 to other people in store lol couldn't stop telling them about it. They are new to grilling 😁
That is wonderful to hear and we thank you for being a long time fan! We appreciate you being part of the Weber Family! As always if there is anything we can assist you be sure to reach out to our support team! We will be happy to help!
Directions for first use that came with my Webber master touch said to heat grill for at least 30 minutes before first use to burn off any manufacturing residue.
@@chookchack sorry, I'm just kidding around, there's about four different models of the Weber kettle grill and only the top three I believe have folding grill grates I don't mean to offend. I had the most simple Weber kettle for 25 years and I loved it but finally retired it and got the master touch and it's worth the extra money.
I disagree on putting lid back on when cooking the steaks. The flame ups give the steaks flavor. If I going to use the lid might as well cook in the oven. Cook steaks on all 6 sides to a medium temp. Always spend little more time rendering the fat down
Agree, the carmelized fat is one of the best things about a chargrilled steak. The best steaks I've ever had were the ones my dad would make us as young kids on a cheap Hibachi grill (because he couldn't afford anything else). The grates of that grill could be moved to different levels, and the food cooked so close to the fire it was loaded with flavour and awesome caramelized crunchiness. The great grill experience was ruined when he moved up in life and was able to afford a luxury gas grill!
Am I the only friggin person who can't seem to get the Charcoal to ash over fully in "10-15mins" off 2 starter cubes. Honestly tears of frustration tonight
I'm having trouble hearing your voice because of the volume and intensity of the music. Choose lofibeats, and put it on low volume. We'll understand you better Thank you for this video nonetheless!
Sorry, we are on our 4th. Weber Kettle and it will be the last. I purchased the 22 1'2" Performer (2) yrs. ago and it is a "rot box" ... never had that problem before with your product ... and your customer service has diminished big time also. I guess that is what to be expected these days as everything is subbed out overseas ... What a shame Weber !
I don't understand what you mean by "rot box"? I am on my first Weber still, and I have had it for 11 years. Every part is replaceable if it breaks, so what is wrong with yours?
10 year no rust through/burn through guarantee. I've owned and used Weber products for 30 years, and although I do find the current grills are not quite as robust as my originals they are still solid. My experience has been fantastic customer service from offices in the USA for products made in the USA...
+hazman440 2 year old Kettle here... and it looks like new even after around 104 heavy uses. And it survived rain and snow storms, but of course I covered it and do maintenance regularly. Quality Control could have made a mistake and sold you a defective unit... I just read the warranty manual and it says 5 years warranty, the Summit goes up to 10... just ask for RMA or some sort of assistance. Good luck!
Thank you!! I’m buying my first grill and it’s super intimidating!

Nice job! Just bought the same grill! Everything tastes so much better!
Could you turn up the music louder next time ? I can still hear the person talking
😂🎉
Yes boss
I can’t.
@@benbryan7949yikes
Lmao
I found the vent underneath, thanks for sharing
Good job mate. Love the enthusiasm...and those steaks look good!
Tip: Keep the top vent over the meat.
What's the reason for this? I'm new to grilling.
@@craigp427 It causes the heat & smoke to flow over the meat, resulting in a better smoke and more even cook.
@sukisukilong thank you! Very useful to know.
thanks good easy tutorial first time for the weber grill thanks ( usually use an electric grill or the big green egg)

Dude’s not grilling enough with time to argue like that.

Awesome info, thanks mate

Hi! Sorry to hear you are having trouble keeping the temp up. Have you tried using lump charcoal? It burns hotter.
Charcoal grilling is grilling on hard mode and it's just not worth it.

How about covering the bottom vent adjuster? That's critical to temp control...

How do you know it's open at the bottom
Good job
Why two cubes? I use one when I have them on hand and I can get a full chimney going within 15 mins. Also look into reverse searing.
Because they sell lighter cubes.
Hello, do you use new charcoal after initial burn? And how long does initial burn have to last as I intend to use it on the same day as I get it.
Hi! We suggest a 30-minute burn-in period. The same charcoal can be used as the burn-in. Hopefully, this helps. If you need anything further please let us know. Thank you!
Do you need to do a “startup” burn for the first time? Wasn’t sure if it was recommended to burn off any manufacturing chemicals etc.
Much the same as washing new kitchen machines or utensils. At home we heat our ovens so why any different than out in the garden. Received Corona vaccine today so out in the garden very soon. Have fun, safe eating.

I think the smoke of the charcoal that hasn't been started yet is quite harmful, so always make sure they are ashed over
What is the bottom vent set at ?
The bottom dampers are completely open.

What are "lighter cubes"?
I have a bright new exactly same Weber just bought last year in Turkiye and how come I don't have a hook inside the lid? Thanks.
Abdullah Dokur. Aslm. Some of the Weber grills have a lid holder rail on the side of the bowl instead of a hook in the lid.
Love charcoal

What do i do with the charcoal after im done cookimg?
Wait for it to cool down completely (might take a few hours) and then throw it away. It’s organic.
I don't have a charcoal chimney. What other choice do I have? Thank you.
If you haven’t already, seriously go buy a chimney. It makes starting coals so much easier

What grill marks?
The lines on the steak from the grill

There's only two stages a grill or oven can be in, heated and unheated. Pre-heated makes no sense. Heat before you heat, smh.
You can use lighter fluid and a light man justs wants to waste your money lol on the chimney
