Thank you for this. My husband usually smokes the meat on the Weber, but he has to work all weekend. I’m going to surprise him with a brisket. Wish me luck!
This is the method my dad taught me back when I was a kid in the 80's. ...those hinged grates are nice. Back in the day, I had to lift the grate off with welding gloves while my dad threw in more charcoal or wood. The Weber Kettle might be the most versatile cook system mankind has ever created.
Dude we have a mac daddy grill, and im telling you hands down the weber kettle is the king of the hill. Compact. Cooks amazingly well on all sides of the grill and it like you said is very versatile
Malcolm doesn't note this, but notice he puts the lid vent over the cool side of the rack. This will help the smoking method as the smoke will need to cross over the meat to exit the lid.
I just started learning how to smoke meats and proper grilling techniques. I don't want to watch anyone else but this big haas, he makes things easy and he damn well knows what he is talking about, thank you for filming these.
Malcom, I love your videos and since I don't have a smoker, I searched "how to smoke on weber" and here you are. Your recipes I'm trying are getting great compliments. Thank you for posting and keep up the great work. God bless you, brother
Awesome video, this was exactly what we needed to convert our Weber grill into a smoker! Worked great for ribs on Father’s Day!! I’m also so glad I caught your video on controlling temperature, because our internal temp was flying from 300 to 400F but thanks to you we managed to figure out how to maintain it closer to 300F for a majority of the 3 hours, and we needed to re-add coals once.
I did this for so many years and it really brings back memories. I still have my 18 inch Weber Kettle to this day and it is solely for my wood-fired cooking with post oak, mainly searing steaks and cooking pizza on my cast iron pizza pan. Good stuff :)
I'm a first time viewer and I like this guys style already. I just bought my first smoker and I can use some simple common sense guidelines like this. I truly don't expect to ever become a fancy cook. I don't like to over complicate things. The KISS phrase often works for me. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. That advice is strictly for myself. The quicker and easier I can get my dinner the better. That's not saying I want to settle for bad cooking. I just want to keep the entire process refined and uncomplicated. Thanks for the great video.
Hey Malcom. Not everyone has the option to do this, but thought you and a few might. For years now. If I want to get my charcoal rolling quick, I fill up my chimney and crank up my fish/turkey fryer burner on high and set my chimney on there. 5 minutes and the coals are rollin red. 👍🇺🇸🍺👊
I just got a charcoal Weber style grill like that. This is the 3rd or 4th video I’ve seen about doing ribs and I gotta tell you sir, it is by far the most informative and to the point. Can’t wait to try it. Cheers
Been doing this for years. Over 10 years. Crazy smoke rings on bef, chicken, and sausage. I get my grill for free. People upgrade, I get the old ones. It's a win win.
Thanks so much for the very helpful video! Didn't want to spend money on a smoker if I didn't need to, but tired of making my pork for BBQ in a slow cooker with liquid smoke. I appreciate it!
Wow, thank you so much for the great video. Tremendous insight provided for setting up my Weber kettle for smoking. Went with an 8lb. beef brisket, used a Memphis BBQ dry rub, smoked with hickory (personal preference), and used the apple juice as suggested. Result was flat out amazing! You are the man!
Thank you for this simple but effective setup! I’m glad I don’t need too much stuff to smoke on a Weber. I’m gonna set this up to smoke fish, sausages, turkey legs, and maybe even some ribs.
I know absolutely nothing bout smoking meat so was gonna buy a smoker but also wanted to try charcoal bbq as well. Well now I know what I have to do. Thanks for the tutorial
Speaking of Weber...got a 15lb Brisker on at the moment. Weber's are super versatile. Ribs, pork butt, sockeye salmon,chicken,burgers and tri tip cooks on this thing.
I came for a quick and easy smoking method and I'm leaving subscribed for exactly the reasons listed below. Short, sweet, and to the point & you aren't a snob about method or equipment. Edit: fixed extra typed letters
Your channel is my go to for any BBQ recipes and tips. I've tried to watch a few others and they don't compare. My girlfriend even enjoys watching with me!
Ohhhh! Filling my drip pan with apple juice!! Awesome idea!! Thx for another great video for us Weber Kettle users Malcom👍 also, +Jan Van Hanagem had a great question abt holding a low temp when grill is loaded with charcoal! The ONLY way I have found to do it (250°) is to close the bottom butterfly entirely, and set the top damper to 1/4 to 1/2! Dont know if this is bad or good, but it does work (My longest cook has been 8 hrs without adding more charcoal using both the minion method and the snake)
Thanks for sharing! A couple questions: 1. How long did you let your coals set in chimney before tossing out? 2. Are you putting the coals near the vent in this scenario? Mine has a bottom vent. 3. If more charcoal is needed, do you simply just add it to the top of the pile? 4. Can you tell I’m new at this?
I grabbed some fireplace bricks from home depot and make a little wall between the coals and the meat, I find it keeps the leading edges from getting seared if you have the "cool" side pretty full
Love you videos !! I have been telling my brother for years to use his Weber grill like this to smoke !!! Now I’m sending this video to him and to my friend Scott
What works really well to keep the meat moist, is to lavish it with some olive oil (+spices). Then there in no need for an apple juice or water tray. I found this a great video and just wanted to add to your fine work.
Great video. Never thought of using my simple kettle grill to smoke a nice cut of meat but the next time I get some sun I'll try smoking my first rack of ribs this way.
I use a smaller aluminum tray (size for banana bread) and separate that pan from the coals with two bricks laid end-to-end on their long side. Reduces the direct heat on the meat.
Glad to see you using a chimney starter. I know you would anyway ! Folks need to add the price of about 4 cans of nasty liquid charcoal starter together. They will see the price of one good chimney starter ! So clean and fast to use !!
thx for sharn man. got your rub and sauce last week to try out. put it on a cut up chicken. really great flavors. gonna try in it on a slab of spares today on my uds. got a great product man. really appreciate the channel and website too. thx again
I use a couple fire bricks to isolate the hot zone in the kettle. I large tin can works good for water. The slow n sear is a gimmick for people with more money than brains.
Been doing it like this for years, but the apple juice is a nice touch. I would suggest using real hardwood charcoal. Most grocery stores stock it now. Briquettes burn too fast and they're full of binders and other crap.
Thank you for this. My husband usually smokes the meat on the Weber, but he has to work all weekend. I’m going to surprise him with a brisket. Wish me luck!
How’d it turn out?

I'm standing here next to my grill setup like this and had no idea.
Thanks, bro
I found this video 8 years ago when I bought my first Kettle. I’ve cooked on it hundreds of times and I still come back to videos like this.
Just wanted to say that this video is STILL helping people. I learned to smoke chicken from you exactly like this and it's amazing.
He sold me when I saw him wearing Crocs
If dudes wearing crocs this must be the real deal
Do you grill in anything else??
Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video...thanks.

Weber Kettle! The Swiss Army knife of ALL charcoal grills for all cook / grill / smoke methods. Blows them all away including the hipster green egg.
I'm gonna try this, I was literally looking for smokers but I already have a weber so why not

This was a great video! I love the smell of charcoal and wood. I normally let the wood I smoke soak before I throw it on the grill.

Great video! Right to the point, no background music to distract us. Following for future videos.
Good stuff there. Love grilling on my Weber but have never really smoked anything before. Gonna have to try this. Thanks!
I've bought the coal, wood and ribs. I'm using this video tomorrow morning on my first try smoking. Thanks for posting !

I've watched a couple of you videos and they are very good. Straight to the point, simple information and not boring. I just subscribed 👍
excellent advice. no fancy equipment, just use what works.
Great video. I have the big Weber and I swear it has never occurred to me that I don't need to buy a separate smoker. Can't wait to try this.
I grabbed some fireplace bricks from home depot and make a little wall between the coals and the meat, I find it keeps the leading edges from getting seared if you have the "cool" side pretty full
Thanks, I am trying this method. Have a Treager and have been using that for over 2 years. Time to try something new!
Wrap that wood in foil and poke a couple holes in it. It will last longer, no flare ups.
Go Broncos!
Does that hinder the amount of smoke produced?
I tried that and it caught on fire....
I’m going to go out on a limb and say I think he knows what he’s doing
Can you do this with wood chunks????
Love you videos !! I have been telling my brother for years to use his Weber grill like this to smoke !!! Now I’m sending this video to him and to my friend Scott
Dude that rack is an amazing invention! I freaking love the vid man!
Great Video! I would like to see more on your vents and how you control temperature on a Webber....
I bought my first smoker mid last year. A wireless thermometer, 20$, was the best investment I've ever made.
Thank you. This video was the best so far for me.
What works really well to keep the meat moist, is to lavish it with some olive oil (+spices). Then there in no need for an apple juice or water tray. I found this a great video and just wanted to add to your fine work.
Thanks Malcom. I'm going to try this for sure.
And then boom now you have the vortex method making these even awesomer just ordered one for the back porch
Your a champion sent all the way from Melbourne Australia
Followed up more recently from Rockingham, Western Australia.
just found this vid, from auck new zealand
Thanks for those tips... Will definitely be using it my side... Cannot wait...
Really enjoy all your posts,from Bolo to ribs,easy to follow for a great finish,thanks alot!
Thank you sir! This video was just what I was looking for. 😊
I LOVE my Weber grill. I’m the exact sam way but I never use briquettes. Lump charcoal with mesquite wood. Mmmmmmmmm Great job!
Great video. Never thought of using my simple kettle grill to smoke a nice cut of meat but the next time I get some sun I'll try smoking my first rack of ribs this way.
Thank you! I’m building a smoker and you just gave me a great idea sir
I need to start using some liquid in the pan. I’ve been doing it without it seeing mixed results. Great video and I love my Webber
Thanks for the vid Malcolm. I find it's easier to achieve ambient temps of around 225 if I don't start with a full chimney of burning charcoal
How full do you recommend of briquettes for 225 ish?
@@matthewallen8681 last cook I believe I used half a chimney of lump charcoal
I use a smaller aluminum tray (size for banana bread) and separate that pan from the coals with two bricks laid end-to-end on their long side. Reduces the direct heat on the meat.
Finally excellent video how to setup a smok grill perfect...
Quick and easy! Love it. Great job and thanks.
That is a really nice tip , planning a BBQ on Scarborough beach so this is coming in handy.

My boy wearing crocs !! This is why your favorite UA-cam channel
Jan, look up the Snake Method for doing low and slow on a Weber Kettle. Can keep a consistent 225-250 for up to 10 hrs.
The Crocs let me know that I can trust you as a professional griller! Great advice!
Thanks Malcolm! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Subscribed!
I'm so glad I don't need to buy a another grill just so I can make a smoker .
Thank you !
it helps to keep moisture flowing, and put a liquid of your liking in tray
Didnt know it was that simple I should try this sometime.
I was about to buy a slow and sear. This looks just as good. Thanks for sharing this cool idea!
There's a lot out there about a 'snake' of coals lit at only one end or the two coal baskets to give similar results as the Slow n Sear.
I use a couple fire bricks to isolate the hot zone in the kettle. I large tin can works good for water. The slow n sear is a gimmick for people with more money than brains.
Been doing it like this for years, but the apple juice is a nice touch. I would suggest using real hardwood charcoal. Most grocery stores stock it now. Briquettes burn too fast and they're full of binders and other crap.
Great job of teaching that you can smoke on the kettle.
I’m gonna do some slow cooking today and this video really helped me out a lot man... great job and thank you
Your grilling is AWESOME BROTHER!!!
Concise and clear, really like this. Looking forward to trying something new on my Weber. Thank you 👍🏻
