    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.

    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.

    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. 👍🇺🇸🍺👊

    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)

    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?
