I have been smoking meat and grilling since 1973. The thing is, I just bank my charcoal to one side on any grill I use without having to use the slow and sear gizmo. My pork chops come out perfect every time as well as anything I cook. If this helps someone perfect the art of searing, grilling and smoking then more power to them. I just don't need this to turn out excellent BBQ. Not knocking any new gizmo out there, just letting you know. No brag, just fact!
Great Point!!! I too use to stack my coals to one side to create two zone cooking. It is the original way of searing and indirect cooking. Thanks for checking out the video! Have a good weekend!
Great video and very informative. I like the tips you gave. And I loove John Henry pecan rub! I finally smoked my oxtails using your method and they turned out great! I used a bbq rub and although a little sweet I added some peppers and spiced it up. Delicious. Keep up the awesome work!
Hey Quita, I’m so happy to hear the oxtails came out great!! I might need to cook some more soon. Thanks for checking out the video Quita. The chops ere delicious and the new portable Weber is the bomb!! Take care.
Just bought one of these little guys and came looking for inspiration. I'll be sure to try this recipe and method in the very near future. Excellent video. Cheers
I enjoy your videos and please keep them coming. I noticed you bought a Weber Jumbo Joe 18 inch and watched your videos using it. I recently purchased a Slow n Sear 18-inch Travel Kettle with the charcoal basket from SnS, however, I tried using my 18 inch grate from my Kamado Joe Classic on the SnS Travel Kettle and I can't even close the lid. I measured the SnS Grate that came with my SnS Travel Kettle and it measures just over 17 inches, yet they call it an 18 inch Travel Kettle. If you can please let me know if your Jumbo Joe has an ACTUAL 18 INCH GRATE, I'm dumping my SnS Travel Kettle and getting a Jumbo Joe. Thank you in advance for info on the grate size. Please keep your videos coming as I look forward to them!!
Hey Joe. You might not want to dump it quite yet. I just checked and the dimensions of the Jumbo Joe is the same size coming in just slightly above 17" in diameter. I checked the inside grill dimension and sure enough I got 18" from inside wall to inside wall. Hope this helps. Thanks as always for checking out the videos!
Hi, stumbled upon your channel and I really liked this video. Thank you. I am thinking of buying the Smokey Joe and your video is so detailed and it answered all my questions. You earned a follower. Thanks!
Great video, but may I suggest burning in your new grill first. This is to remove any oils, grease, or contaminates that come with the manufacture process of the grill and a great time to season the grill as well. Always run a batch of charcoal through the grill with both bottom and top vents wide open for maximum heat, then you can grill with the next batch of briquettes. A burn in is required for all new barbecues.
Wow, I was so impressed with the cold sear method on this relatively small grill! I am learning about grilling and this video was packed full of useful information and techniques. I saw another video about the similarly sized SNS Travel grill; I would love to see what you think about it (maybe you reviewed it already; I will search).
Thanks for checking out the video. The Jumbo Joe is very versatile and affordable. I grab anytime I’m tailgating for going to a park to hang out with the family. I haven’t used the SNS Travel grill but I’m sure it a great product. SNS makes quality accessories that I use in all of my Webers. Have a great weekend.
Well now I want pork chops! Great video. Have you tried using a Weber Chimney Starter for your coals? I have the mini version for travel purposes and it is the best/easiest way to light your coals. Also I took a course with Weber UK and they recommend soaking your wood chips for at least 30 mins before adding to the coal - this gives much more smoke and adds to the infusion.
Shaun Bowen Hey Shawn. I agree with you on the Chimney Starter. I don’t remember if I was trying to show off the loft lighter or if I just had a brain fart. Thanks for checking out the video.
It's a disgrace on Weber's end that they refuse to sell the Jumbo Joe in Europe. For years, I've been eyeing it, but shipping from the US was either not offered at all or was like 200+ USD. Only yeste did I find a fairly acceptable offer on the American Amazon website - which was still overpriced, but oh well. 90 dollars + 60 for shipping (and there might still be some important charges waiting for me). For a lack of other options, I pulled the trigger on it, but it still angers me that in the US, you can get it any Hope Depo for like 30 dollars in clearance. Funny enough, you can absolutely buy the SnS charcoal basket for the Jumbo Joe here, even though you can't get the grill, like wtf? Anyway, absolutely love the grill and your video. Can't wait to receive my Jumbo Joe.
That’s terrible Patrick. I can definitely understand your frustration. The world needs to do much better on the cost of imported goods. Have a good weekend.
What a great video. I’m thinking of buying one of these grills because I’m single and don’t entertain much and I think an 18 or 22” Weber may be too large for what I need.
Great video !! Quick question. Couldn’t you have stacked them two high for the indirect part of the cook? Seems like it would have eliminated the real estate issue. I’m new so that may be a stupid question sorry.
Sorry for the late response. I don't know how I missed this. Happy New year first of all. My reason for not stacking is to ensure even cooking and to make sure I maintain any crust that able to be formed. That's difficult to do if they are stacked. Great question! I hope you bring more in 2022! There is no such thing as a stupid question so feel free to ask..."I'm all ears!"
First, much thanks for this video. As someone who is looking to buy a Jumbo Joe, this was very helpful. But may I suggest that if you like parsley and pepper flavors, why not dice some fresh leaves and mash them, maybe with a few peppercorns and a bit of butter, in a mortar & pestle, instead of using dried flakes that've been sitting for months in a jar? I might also add some crushed garlic.
Dave March Great feedback Dave. I love cooking with fresh herbs. I need to film more videos using them. I remember posting a fajaocook where I made homemade salsa using the mortar. Thanks for the advice!!
Just adding a comment to let you know that I really enjoy your content. Incredibly user-friendly and informative. Do you have a link to buy one of those shirts you're sporting in this video? I'd like to support your channel as much as possible!

Love my Jumbo Joe and the SnS Suggestion: Try a reverse sear next time I've found they get even juicier ..... Also Baby Back Maniac has a cool vid doing mods He set it up to be a "egg type smoker" I did it too and it works great Cheers!
Vivi Phoenix Great question. It is called the cold grate method. It allows you to achieve an awesome crust on your meat while allowing it to remain very juicy inside. Thanks so much for checking out the video.
that's the way to do it man if you're about to cook to really enjoy that meal with the jumbo Joe. you cannot go wrong with adrenaline barbecues 18 inch slow and sear that is just so cool that they came out with it for the jumbo can't thank the boys enough at the factory
John Knapp It’s still open John. I pushing hard at work to make sure I get the much needed time off. I believe it’s a toss up between pulled pork or maybe just searing some good old fashioned ribeyes with baked potatoes 🥔 Thanks for watching John!
If i do the exact same brine and brine it for two-to-three hours, do i need to season those chops seperately with salt? Or do they get enough salt from the brine so i dont even need to apply a light coating?
Dski Grillz I have the adrenaline bbq basket, same as you. But I used grill grates for steaks. I like how close the charcoal is to the food with jumbo joe. Grill grates were up to 600 when I put meat on. I’ll try reverse sear with basket next time.
Very cool. I just picked up the grill grates for my Weber Summit Charcoal grill. I can’t wait to give them a shot. Cooking a ribeye at 600 degrees, I know that came out great. Thanks for sharing.
@@DskiGrillz I also subbed to your channel and went out and got a jumbo joe too. Lowes had them on sale for $29.99. Alot more space than a smokey joe. Keep up the great work
Hi Gary, It's called a loof lighter. I've put the link to one on amazon. This video was published about 4 years ago and I have since moved to using the "grill gun." It's more of a torch that uses a 1lb propane bottle. It's much more efficient at getting your charcoal started.

When I cook meat it always come out hard not soft what comes out good only is the chicken hamburgers and hotdogs is it cause I don't have a Weber grill? that the meat comes out hard help please thanks..
djknight_bringin'_back_the_old_skool_style Thanks for the questions and for checking out the video. There are a few quick things you can do to help with the final results. 1.

Welcome to the channel Eddie!!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
You can set the wood on top of the grates,or you can get a hinged grate from Amazon to fit the Jumbo..
Hi friend! I just tried your recipie (with slightly different seasoning) and OMG!!! So good man! Thank you for a great video!
You are so welcome!! Have a great weekend!
Smart cook with that charcoal basket. Just bought one of these from Target on clearance for $50
Jay Dubau That was an awesome deal Jay! Enjoy..Have a great Labor Day.

Cool! You are gonna definitely enjoy it. Thanks for checking out the video.
Enjoyed this bbq lesson, thanks nice one 👌
Nice cook bruh
Just curious..how come you keep spinning it? Cant you just flip the meat over on same spot? What does spinning the grill do?
Vivi Phoenix Great question. It is called the cold grate method. It allows you to achieve an awesome crust on your meat while allowing it to remain very juicy inside. Thanks so much for checking out the video.
Awesome craftsman the guy just did it 💪👍
best portable grill in the world! Bought for £70, five years ago, now costs £230 amazon uk!🤦
It's crazy just how expensive things have gotten. I agree! It's a great portable grill!
that's the way to do it man if you're about to cook to really enjoy that meal with the jumbo Joe. you cannot go wrong with adrenaline barbecues 18 inch slow and sear that is just so cool that they came out with it for the jumbo can't thank the boys enough at the factory
love me some chops. good cook!!
Cookin' With James Thanks James!
Wanted to like the food. Ended up liking the avalanche more.
Thumbs up Buddy! 👍
Excellent results on those chops !
Thank you
28 minutes off Illustrious Jumbo Joe Goods. Pork Chops came out five star. What s on the menu for Labor Day.
John Knapp It’s still open John. I pushing hard at work to make sure I get the much needed time off. I believe it’s a toss up between pulled pork or maybe just searing some good old fashioned ribeyes with baked potatoes 🥔 Thanks for watching John!
Did i miss him saying how long he cooked before that first check? Also.. did he brine at room temp?
Can you get the same results with the charcoal tray, but first using a chimney starter and then pouring the coals into the basket?
Yes, I’m very sure you can achieve the same results. Thanks for checking out the video.
I’ve never actually had anyone explain what the cold grate method was
I know how I’ll be doing my next steak!
Great video. When you put the lid on, turn it 90 degrees before bringing up the metal part. The groove on the handle top locks on to the metal bar
Grant Wallace Thanks for the tip and for checking out the video!!
I was thinking about that the through the entire video! 😁
If i do the exact same brine and brine it for two-to-three hours, do i need to season those chops seperately with salt? Or do they get enough salt from the brine so i dont even need to apply a light coating?
Apply a very light coating of your favorite rub and it should be fine. Thanks
Yasss! Go’head with washing that meat brotha. 👍🏾😊
Love ur videos I’ve learned so much
Rick James jr Thanks Rick!!!
