I want to cry .. my husband passed a month ago and now I’m stuck cooking on the grill for the fourth which is today !! I’ve bn grilling but he did it so effortlessly and I’m getting video tips!! Thank u sir
My mom used to be the one to bbq for the fourth now it’s my turn ig , may she rest in peace Ik your pain of not feeling normal on a day like this without your loved ones
Today I decided I wanted to make some chicken wings on the grill, I never personally cooked anything on the grill. (It’s usually my boyfriend’s thing tbh) but he’s at work & I wanted to make some dinner for our family & i didn’t want regular schmegular chicken! I appreciate you & the fact that you taught me how to cut the chicken, how to set up the charcoal & why, how the vent should be opposite of the coal & how to grill it! I made it today & came out great! I feel super successful & excited for my partner to get off work to show him what I did! Thank you! I never knew my dad & this is stuff I’d hope that he could have taught me! Thankful I was able to learn & now I can teach my daughter & the kids around me! Thank you! 💚🙏🏽🌀🥹

I love how you narrate and give us details on how to prep, season and grill! I look for any excuse to fire up the grill and I'll keep backing to your channel for great tips and styles of grilling.
I just bought another one of these grills without the smoker. I've never used the indirect method but it's next for me. We definitely had school today and thank you for showing me how to do it. After watching your smoking video I wish I had one for the chicken and ribs. Keep the content coming I've really learned a lot.
Thank you again my brother. I love your videos. I've been grilling for years, and always trying to learn how to step my game up. Your the man. Stay blessed, and keep doing your thing
Great video! Slight confession. When I was watching you lift the grates up with that tool I thought "I need to get that!" And then realized I've had it all along with no clue what it does. Going to try some of these methods but going to lean towards 225 for an hour.
Just came across your channel but I'm sure you've upgraded a few tools but great tips! Also i would get rid of that wire bristle brush, soak your wood for an hour prior to adding to coals. Wings look good and like you said keep it simple. I cook both indirect and direct and use an offset smoker as well..just have to check m 6:28 ore. Great job and tips!! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
I love using the wood chucks, but sometimes I just go with a whole log. That way, I don't have to keep adding..... But it definitely gives a different type of flavor
Thank u for this video. I’ve never cooked anything indirect. I just put less on one side. Cooking wings today for 4th of july. Will definitely cook this way today. I have the same grill. Excited. Thanks!
Definitely stick with the grill. It took me awhile to get the hang of it. I grew up cooking on kettle style grills. Now, I’m dialed in pretty good. Here’s a playlist of my chat-griller grilling videos: Daddy DIY - Grilling on the Char-Griller Charcoal Grill th-cam.com/play/PLCBzxUl4oqBj9rFAtUsm2VA8FBtJsFnCr.html
I have a Chimney starter, but I still use charcoal fluid. What do I need to light the coals if don't use fluid? By the way...Your videos are simple and easy to follow, some videos I've watched are just too complicated. I also watched your direct method with the ribs, can't wait to try both of these. I was going to ask about the offset, because I use that to give it more heat, but it looks like I don't have too. I also like your tip about coals opposite of the stack...I believe that I can do this...Thx's! 🔥

@@daddydiysolutions ...Thank You, I didn't expect to get an answer so soon. Also, what is that tool called you used to raise the grill, and where do I get one?
No problem. My pleasure. The tool is called grill grate lifter. Here's a link to one like I use in the video: amzn.to/42cWWoU. Here's also a link to my top 10 grilling accessories I recommend as well: th-cam.com/video/Q_pTHRpJ5iU/w-d-xo.html
May be try burning the charcoal outside the grill if you use fluid and pour charcoal ii in the grill once ready to cook! I do this even when I grill directly.
Thanks bro! Yep, leave the grill for too long with the direct method and it's a wrap. Here's a playlist for my rib videos: th-cam.com/play/PLCBzxUl4oqBhxN4wq3V2VZXnrKFaui19A.html. I'll be firing up the grill today to cook some ribs for Memorial Day. Video will be dropping soon. Appreciate you!
Thank You 🧡awesome Video have you ever partial smoked and then finished with charcoal grill appreciate the marinade recipe I cheat a little by using Italian seasoning and what ever spice not in Italian I will add. I don't have this type of grill yet I own the square one and I do as you indicated here food on opposite side of coals but when I get one will remember your tips
Thanks! "...have you ever partially smoked and then finished with charcoal grill". That technique works well. It's sometimes referred to as "reverse searing". I think this technique does a great job at combining rich smoky flavor with a perfectly seared, flavorful crust, while ensuring even cooking and juiciness throughout the meat. Thanks again for your support and taking the time to leave us a comment! Appreciate you!
Cool video brother I've the Pro verison of your grill and when I'm grilling wings,seafood and Franks I also use the same method of indirect grilling instead of my offset smoke box.
Hey good video man ima try to grill for Labor Day this year for the first time I was wondering could you recommend some seasoning marinate my chicken overnight ?
Here’s one for some…Garlic Herb Marinade for Grilled Chicken Wings Ingredients: • 1/4 cup olive oil • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon) • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • 1 tablespoon honey • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1 teaspoon dried thyme • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat Instructions: 1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). 2. Marinate the Chicken Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours if you’re short on time). 3. Grill the Wings: I’d probably grill these using the two-zone indirect method to help ensure the seasonings and marinade don’t burn.
good evening brother D! Quick question, would you be so kind to show how far you have your vents open while cooking? Have a Blessed! Ms. S so sorry to hear about your loss! May our almighty God comfort you and your families heart, your mind and your soul. In JESUS NAME,AMEN AND AMEN!!!
Thanks so much! Check this video out for an in-depth explanation on vent setup and temperature control when grilling: th-cam.com/video/CFdSc4aj17s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zF9qm4p3DWs3lrch
I think the grill temps were in between 300 deg F - 400 deg F the majority of the cook. I really don’t stress too much about grilling temp when grilling wings, especially with the indirect technique. The beauty of this technique is how even the meat cooks regardless of temperature. Yes, I’ve used lump charcoal before…haven’t really found a brand I like. We’ll be doing a video soon reviewing a few lump charcoal products on the market. It you have any thoughts/suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
Mostly taste. When cooking indirect on this type of grill, I like to position the coals opposite the stack (exhaust) and the meat under the exhaust vent, so the smoke and charcoal flavor has to travel over the meat before leaving the grill.
Awesome grilling remind me of me I've learned some things from you hope you don't mind if I borrow a couple of your tips Mobile Alabama nothing but love for you annual family peace
Great question! I prefer not to use the offset firebox when grilling chicken indirectly on my Char-Griller charcoal grill because I can achieve higher temperatures with less fuel when cooking this way. The firebox is great for smoking meat at lower temperatures for extended periods, but for indirect grilling, I find it more efficient to use the main chamber. This allows me to reach the desired cooking temperature more easily and with less fuel consumption.

Yep, it took me a while to get the hang of it. I used kettle grills for a number of years and switched to this one as my primary grill several years ago because my family grew and I needed a larger grill. I've got a few video playlists that might help: Videos that show me grilling on this specific grill: th-cam.com/play/PLCBzxUl4oqBj9rFAtUsm2VA8FBtJsFnCr.html Video about how to regulate temperature on charcoal grills: th-cam.com/video/CFdSc4aj17s/w-d-xo.html Keep putting in time on the grill and it will pay off!
I purchased a jar of Badio Complete based on your suggestion with the Lawrys season salt. Can you tell me why you like the Badid complete so much? Thanks in advance
Sure, a few thoughts...Lawry's seasoned salt and Badia Complete Seasoning can significantly enhance your meat when grilling by adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile. Lawry's seasoned salt combines salt, herbs, and spices, offering a savory and well-balanced taste that elevates the natural flavors of the meat. Badia Complete All-Purpose Seasoning complements this with its blend of garlic, onion, and other spices, adding a robust and aromatic quality. Together, these seasonings create a harmonious and flavorful crust on the meat that enhances its overall taste.
Total cook time was a little over an hour. I like my wings more on the crispy side and let them go a bit longer after they reached the desired internal temperature.
Definitely give it a try. Just remember to put your charcoal on one side of the grill and put your meat opposite the coals. Don't use too much charcoal. You'll have to adjust the charcoal amount until you get it just right for your size grill. After you give it a try, be sure to stop back by and let me know how they turn out. Thanks a bunch for stopping by the channel. We appreciate you!
2 questions, could you cook those wings direct and they would just be a little crisper ? Also how do you make sure your temp stays around that 300 mark I feel like my heat dies down too fast once the burgers and hot dogs are done and i want to put my chicken or ribs on
Yep, the direct method would get them a bit crispier. Here's a video of me cooking wings with the direct method: th-cam.com/video/pGnFWqUQKPE/w-d-xo.html. It can be challenging to maintain ideal temperatures when you're trying to cook multiple types of meat on the grill with the same batch of coals. There are a couple of techniques I would try...1) Set-up your grill to cook indirect and put your ribs and chicken on the cool side after searing them over the coals to lock in flavor. Then after the chicken and ribs have cooked for about an hour, cook the hot dogs and hamburgers over the coals. 2) If my grill wasn't big enough for #1, I'd cook the ribs and chicken together as one batch. Add more coals once they're done. And cook the hamburgers and hot dogs as another batch. But, like you said, the key is figuring out how to maintain optimal temperatures for the meat to cook.
When I clean my grates, I like to get the grill as hot as I can. Ideally at least 500 deg F. After cleaning I'll get the meat on and let the grill settle down in temperature...somewhere from 300 deg F to 450 deg F.
Here's a video I have that takes you step-by-step on how to use chimney starters: th-cam.com/video/eW1M-8h9AgM/w-d-xo.html. Typically, it takes about 15 minutes for my Kingsford briquettes (amzn.to/3RHfKZA) to get ready. I don't wait until they completely ash over. Just long enough for the flame to be consistent and start to lick the top of the coals in the chimney.

Great grill! Buying the smoker box mines
Thanks. We appreciate you!
Excellent My man!
Those wings look great
I use that same indirect method, but I cover the grates over the charcoal with aluminum foil to force all the heat and smoke under and thru the meat.
best part of the bird is the majestic wing
No doubt!
I have the same grill & I've learned a lot about indirect smoking with cutting the wings. Gonna try it next time I cook wings
I must try when I BBQ again it help me.Thank you. Yummy 😋

You can do it! Definitely give it a try.
you can get the crunch from barrel if you learn to control stack
vent and draft on barrel can heat up to 500 with barrel

You should try a barbecue rub on your wings with the seasoning it will change your life.💯😎🍻

Hey good video man ima try to grill for Labor Day this year for the first time I was wondering could you recommend some seasoning marinate my chicken overnight ?
Here’s one for some…Garlic Herb Marinade for Grilled Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Yes sir my brother those wings look tasty and fire. Thank you A must try for me!!! 💯% deliciousness!!!❤😅

Can't wait to try it
I usually stack all my grates on top of the heat source. All of the impurities get burned off, then I scrape them.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip! Appreciate you.
Take an aluminum foil tray add some apple juice to it and put it on the other side of the coils, Hella flavor and keeps extra moisture
Salt is ok to cook with ...I prefer all purpose season for my chicken ..that salt can be tricky

Total cook time was a little over an hour. I like my wings more on the crispy side and let them go a bit longer after they reached the desired internal temperature.
If you use lump coals in your smoke box, you can get the high temps. Lump coals burn hoter and slower

Yep, the direct method would get them a bit crispier. Here's a video of me cooking wings with the direct method: th-cam.com/video/pGnFWqUQKPE/w-d-xo.html. It can be challenging to maintain ideal temperatures when you're trying to cook multiple types of meat on the grill with the same batch of coals. There are a couple of techniques I would try...1) Set-up your grill to cook indirect and put your ribs and chicken on the cool side after searing them over the coals to lock in flavor. Then after the chicken and ribs have cooked for about an hour, cook the hot dogs and hamburgers over the coals. 2) If my grill wasn't big enough for #1, I'd cook the ribs and chicken together as one batch. Add more coals once they're done. And cook the hamburgers and hot dogs as another batch. But, like you said, the key is figuring out how to maintain optimal temperatures for the meat to cook.
what temp did u get the grill up to during the prep?
When I clean my grates, I like to get the grill as hot as I can. Ideally at least 500 deg F. After cleaning I'll get the meat on and let the grill settle down in temperature...somewhere from 300 deg F to 450 deg F.
How do you have side vent set up
Side intake vent is wide open and exhaust stack is set to halfway.
Good vibes bro
Thanks. Appreciate you brother!
I'm definitely making these this weekend I want to try doing some breast too
How long should coals burn in the chimney before dumping then into grill
Here's a video I have that takes you step-by-step on how to use chimney starters: th-cam.com/video/eW1M-8h9AgM/w-d-xo.html. Typically, it takes about 15 minutes for my Kingsford briquettes (amzn.to/3RHfKZA) to get ready. I don't wait until they completely ash over. Just long enough for the flame to be consistent and start to lick the top of the coals in the chimney.
