If you just need to sear 1 steak, BBQ dragon makes a cooking grate with a handle that goes right on top of the full size charcoal chimney - It's a pretty intense sear. I've also seen people put their Grill Grate aluminum grate right on top of a chimney. And if you use that upside down you get more surface area for a crust - almost like a flat top. Just some optional methods if you're interested.
Since using my little Pit Boss smoker and our Blackstone to reverse sear our steaks, I don't like restaurant steaks anymore haha. Reverse sear is the way to go. Great video!
Not going to lie...Thermapen for the win. Blows away all the other thermometers I've ever used. As for charcoal...the struggle is real. I bought my first Webber Kettle earlier this year and have done a few cooks. When I get it, I get it...The kettle is hard for me to get the temp "just right" for anything I'm doing. I'm using a FULL chimney to get the grill fired up, but sometimes I can't get the temps to hold for a long time. I'm just using the BASIC system for now (bottom charcoal grate, top grate, and that's it. Many have said "Get the charcoal baskets, you really want those", but others are "nah, just get that thing hot and rock and roll. Currently I'm using one of my temp probes to get the grill temp (no temperature gauge on the base model), and usually a full chimney gives me about 375F of indirect heat, but it's very 'fluid' as the temp seems to jump up to 450F by just moving the probe 2" nearer to the coals (yes, expected, but I don't like moving the steaks because everybody loves the grill marks...LOL). :) Good stuff here Adam. We too will buy a Kroger Steak when in a pinch, and properly seasoned??? They are pretty good. The biggest issue we find? INCONSISTENT CUTS (1" at one end, 1/2" at the other ... or worse).
Excellent cook off. Had you called me earlier in the day I would have driven out to see you guys and help you finish off that steak. Going to check out that new weber grill. My old grille has finally seen the end of its life. Enjoy our Michigan, Grand Haven was a great choice to stop. If you are trekking north on US 31 you may check out the lighthouses we have here. Just north of Grand Haven is Little Sauble Pte. , more north , in Ludington State Park - Big Sauble Pte. Abby might google the rest. Have a safe trip.
Just wore out my original Smokey Joe and replaced it with a Jumbo Joe. Really loving the slightly larger grate surface area. Same construction and portability, just more capacity especially for indirect cooking.
Great tutorial! I think I went through about 3 of those little grills, until I finally bought an offset and then a full size webber kettle. Now that I've seen how you did it, I can pull my little webber back out and take it camping or to the beach. It's all about managing your temps and controlling your fire!!! Ty for posting
It was a difficult decision recently to choose which portable grill Weber makes for a new purchase. Never had one of these portables although I have had a Weber 22" kettle for 35+ years, the same kettle too, but now there's just the two of us to cook for. Decided to check them out and found all 3 of them have their benefits to cost values. The old original was my first study then I checked into the premium smokey joe and finally the jumbo joe, an 18" version of the premium but the vent holes in the kettle half are located in the bottom as most Weber kettles have. I wasn't so sure on the side vents being up higher and having to scoop out or pour out the ashes. Ended up with the Jumbo joe as its not that much bigger but enough for 4 folks when the time comes. Also, I preferred the vent system and overall features vs the two smaller ones. The jumbo joe has a better cooking grill as it has handles and openings for adding charcoal, a heat shielded upper kettle handle too. Nothing major but those two features were the tie breakers. Plus, I installed some handles on the vent openings so I can adjust them open/close without having to use a mitten or the tongs. So now, we can charcoal BBQ and use less of it per cook, is the plan plus the portability vs. the big 22" kettle on wheels.
Hey brother I have the Weber smokey Joe and I'm glad you pointed out the annoyance of the grill great because mine has the same issue but I still love mine. Your channel is cool I love grilling and cast iron cooking cheers!
Your about 20 to 30 minutes from my house. Would have loved to be part of a meet and greet. Enjoy your time in Michigan where we may have cold and snow season, but not hurricanes ; ). Everytime you and Abby go on a Big Haul, hurricanes come to Florida, or so it seems.
I love those Webber Smokey Joe grills. I have burned up a couple of those and one of the Webber large grills. And the best way to get the charcoal started is with the charcoal chimney.
Hello, really enjoyed this vid. That steak looked perfect! Love the Smokey Joe! Just bought mine. Have yet to do a review. Seems to fit well when traveling for sure! Thanks for sharing! Plan to watch more of your videos! Liked, Subbed, rang bell. Cheers to you and your family from Dave over at Dabomb Smokes🤘😎
@@B_L_Smith I don’t seem to have that problem with mine. Everything works pretty good. However, I’ve just been cooking hamburgers, dogs, and an occasional steak. I haven’t done anything where I filled the thing up and did long cooks.
Beautiful Stake. Not sure how your videos run but wile you are at that RV park the Storm ( IAN ) IS hitting Florida. did it do any damage to your places? if someone is checking for you
one method ive had success with for my sear after sous vide is lighting a full chimney, then placing the cooking grill directly on the chimney for an extreme heat.
I have a junk gas grill I converted into a charcoal grill it works really good and I don’t have a penny in it lol it’s lasted me 3 years now and it’s probably 15+ years old thanks for sharing buddy safe travels praying for everyone in Florida hope your place made it through ok
At 21 yo learning how to cook for myself this the exact video I needed!
That one was fun because of the use off the little Weber but it does a great job for most any grilling needs.
@@AbomAdventures good looks man keep living life 🤝🏾🔥

Steak looked delicious, good job Adam. Thanx for the pointers.🙂
Love yall’s videos. Enjoy the remainder of your Big Haul! Greetings from Philadelphia MS.

When you cut into the steak, I thought I was going to die of hunger. It looked amazing.

Welcome to Michigan, grand haven is about 15 minutes from my home👍
I wish I knew you guys were coming to Grand Haven, we would have taken you guys out fishing for some king salmon on Lake Michigan.
Excellent cook off. Had you called me earlier in the day I would have driven out to see you guys and help you finish off that steak. Going to check out that new weber grill.

you two always make me hungry - lol. cheers.
Learned a lot from aboms videos...
Joyous video! You and Abby would make most excellent company talking about the finer details of fireside finesse.

Does the poor fit of the grill allow for expansion?
Going to need a bunch of charcoal to find out.
