- This video shows a simple modification I got from Joe over at Joe's BBQ House TH-cam Channel. He has 8 levels of grates on a modified kettle/wsm hybrid style cooker. This cook only shows the method and setup just on the top level.

Hello Zachary, From the very first video I stumbled across showing your dad working so smoothly with the big red pit with Rotating grates, I knew this is a guy that knows what he is doing. You should be proud of your dad. He is a great guy and terrific pitmaster. If you are interested and watch close, he can teach you a lot about grilling and smoking. Something you can take with you through life. Thanks for watching and commenting on the PIF channel. Good Luck 😎😎🤠🤠🤓🤓
@@progers5019 I really am proud of him if I didn't had him as my dad then what would I be?? But I really am proud of him thanks for the subs for my dad have a good day 😁
Very nice mod Phil. That’s a really great way to add extra space! Tom
Yes it is. Double the cooking capacity on top, and like Joe shows much more.
Oh gosh. I'm subbing Joe, I love to grill, and yall are some of the best grillers, smokers. My mouth just waters, just watching yall, God Bless
Hey Lori. Thanks for watching and the nice comments. Joe is fun to watch. Thanks-phil
Subbed to Joe. Super idea for a mod Phil. Chickens looked really great.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out this new stackin mod. You will enjoy Joe's channel.
Wow,, I am not worthy - I am not worthy- you all are Mod Kings! Thank you for sharing and experimenting.
Hahaha. Me either Louis. I picked this up from Joe. I've been thinkin about double grating for couple yrs sice I saw it on a kamado smoker. When I began using the warming grates I just forgot it. Joe has brought it back to the fromt with this easy mod to double up grate levels. He is fun to watch. Thanks-phil
Very cool. I saw Joes video also and sat gaping.
Didnt think i could apply it to mine, but of course i can :)
I could use this mod both on the UDS and on the kettle. Very clever indeed :)
Oh, and the chicken - yum!!!
Thanks Lasse. You can do it for sure. It's good to have a stacked rack of grates on hand when needed.
Well.... they sure did look good!!!!!!! Cool thing about TH-cam is seeing what other folks do, and adapting/modifying to suit our own needs.... I bet you'll tweak this a little and achieve your desired results 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yep, observe something good or cool while walking away smokin a pipe lookin up at a cloud or squirrel thinking,,,now what can I do with that...LOL this will come in handy for large cooks with a lot goin on. Thanks for checking it out Chris
He has a mountain grill. LOL. Looked like it was getting mighty top heavy. Love your invention! Those bolts worked out great for both your grills. That chicken shonuff came out looking ever so tasty! Awesome job done as always! Hope you folks have a great rest of the week!
Hello CB. Hope you and Rene are getting ready for some stirring around in the early stages of your gardening season coming up. It will be here before you know it. Thanks for stopping by good buddy
Phil, that is genius!!! I subbed to Joe and made sure to leave a comment that you sent me. I may have to add some of those bolts to my 27 inch grate and my top grate of my wsm so I can add another rack from my old 22 inch kettle when I need more room. Anywho, love the mod!! I'm very excited to try this!
Hello there Rusty. haven't heard from you in a while. Glad you stopped by. Yea I saw the stacker type grates on some of the kamado type smokers couple yrs ago and wanted something like that on my wsm. I don't know why I could not come up with this on my own. lol Good ole Joe comes and shows how simple it is. lol I think it is a great simple addon. I"ve purchased other grates before e.g. the weber goumet series so I had extra. All I needed were the stainless steel bolts nuts washers. Go for it.
Totally taking all the hardware home work tonight I 4 whole chickens I'm gonna cook for the superbowl this week easy and done
Good for you Anthony. You will have that thing filled up. Update on the hardware. Since this video, I shortened the stainless steel 5/16 X 5 inch Carraige head bolts and cut them down to 3 inch. Also in place of using wing nuts, I went back and got flange nuts. The setup I showed in the video works, but what I changed to is better. Good luck.
@@progers5019 thaynka for the updated info we have all of this at work and then some all grade 8 and stainless
@@anthonygm85
One more tip. Instead of fastening the bolts sticking up on the bottom grate, mount them to the top grate with the bolt protruding down and flange nuts down at bottom. This way works easy. Don't have to try as hard to line up the bolts to the other grate. Just set it down somewhere close. The flange nut will just drop in between two grate rods. Watch my New Year's video and skip ti settimg up the grill. I used the updated version there.

Nicely Done. What a simple, but clever idea. Enjoy your tips and techniques. Keep on grilling and sharing. 😎
Thanks Grumpy OGS, you know I will and thanks for watching
Dog on the window seal at 7:45 😂😂😂. Guess that pup wants inside
Soo true some TH-camr inspirer us when we see what they do.
That's right. You just neve know. Thanks-phil
Great Idea on that, Just got my first kettle for Christmas and last weekend ran out of space, 50 wing max, with a homemade vortex, I need a second rack too. Thanks for enlightening me.
There ya go. I'd do it. Never know when you need more room. Thanks for watching
I saw that video of Joe's and it is a great idea. I'm unfortunately I'm not that creative. :) That's love good lookin' chicken bro.
Thanks for checking it out Scott. Joe has a lot going on.
What a brilliant mod... have 2 ss grates from adrenaline which am not currently using...will now thanks for sharing
Thanks Joey, just now saw this comment
Dear Phil,
this idea is fantastic💯
I'm all the time thinking about how I can convert your idea to the Weber gas grill Spirit 2, E-220 W/GBS with two burners? Do you have any ideas?
You did a good job on that smoked chicken looks really good
Thanks for stopping by and watching, as well as commenting. Have a great weekend
Nice job on the mods, Everything looked great, I will check out Joe's channel.
Thanks Warren. Joe is a very experienced pitmaster just getting his video channel going. He will do very well in time.
That's a clever mod! Nice smoked chicken too 🌟👍😋
Thanks Pete. Cheers
I like the mods. I think you can buy one basic kettle and keep adding to it to make it very versatile. Enjoyed it all!
Hey Mike. If you have a kettle or a WSM, you can do just about anything. Thanks for watching and commenting
good looking birds and cool grill mods. Thanks for the video P N F.
Hey Brian. I appreciate you watching. I just used the stack rack in the kettle yesterday with 5 racks of ribs.
Kewl ideas. I'll check out Joe's channel. I caught the Toby photo bomb -- standing on the window seal :-)
Thanks Oren. I appreciate you watching and thanks for checking out Joe.
Subbed to Joe. I meant to say window SILL (Toby) -- not "seal". Ya'll have a great weak, er, I mean week :-)
thanks Phil!! Ive already had him!!! he does a great job with that WSM!!
Yea Joe js pakin the food into the wsm. Amazing how much room in there. Thanks-phil
I posted in my Facebook group Joe's BBQ House a test run of the 8 rack system with 78 whole wings and 28 stuffed bacon wrapped asparagus. I have a few more tweaks till I run another test.
@@BBQJOE Yes I had seen that vid. I was trying to showcase the stack feature without stealing your thunder when you brought out the big 8 level grate on your channel. I was attempting to shove your channel in front of more eyes before that Ultimate Weber Smokey Bandit Kettle unveiling. LOL From the looks of the sub increase in past 24 hours, I'd say it's working.
DANG PHIL, I am so glad I watched your video, that was a awesome idea putting the double stack on your grill I don't know if I could ever thought of that because that is pretty cleaver. I have done some mods to my smokers but that takes the cake. And by the way your chicken looked awesome, and I wanted to tell you that you are a fine BBQ-er, and I love to watch your videos. Thanks for teaching me something. GOD BLESS YOU PHIL AND JANET.!!!!!
Thanks Joe for the good word. This is a great way to cook a lot of food for a big party on the wsm. I'm looking forward to using it more in the future. Thanks for watching. Appreciate you & Ann Marie.
Yes sir always something to learn from others and from our self when we forget.... Good job as always.!!
What's goin on Pappy. If it ain't broke break it and work on it. lol Thanks-Phil
Thanks for sharing the idea. Looking to do some jerky and I might have to try the stack to get more meat in there. Cheers
That will do it. Thanks for coming by
That's exactly what I need. I use my 22" kettle for cold smoking salt, spices and salmon, but I always end up wishing I had more space! This fits my needs exactly!
So glad to hear you can use this. Go for it. Thanks-phil
Chicken looked grate ... That mod to the grates was awesome deffently gonna have to try that
John, it will come in handy at just the right time when you need just a little more room. Thanks-phil
The chicken looked delicious Phil! I saw Joe's video. Great idea stacking the grates! Weber will probably run with these ideas,....you know....they need the money HAHA!! Take care yall!!
haha. yea I saw my middle grate bracket idea over a cajun bandit being marketed. oh well, hope they sell a lot of'em. Just havin a little fun in my twilight years anyhow. Glad you liked it good buddy. Have a great weekend. Yea, weber needs the money. lol
Phil, enjoy your content. You may have answered this but I didn't want to read through 120 comments. Just got a cajun bandit rotisserie and ring. I noticed that you blocked off the extra mounting holes on your ring. I want to do that too for temp control and use of stacked grates. I didn't see an explanation on how you did it.
Thought I would ask before I start experimenting on my own. Thx.
Hey Richard. The first time I used some stickon sheet magnets from Home Depot. Since magnets won't stick to stainless steel, I had to get the kind which just peel and stick, and magnetic on the outside for other purposes. Since then I had to unstick them to use the rotisserie. The next time, I just took half of a paper towel wod it up and cram it in the hole, It's up high enough so it won't catch fire and burn up. Good luck with it.
Double Decker Cluckers! love it!!!
That works Boogie. Thanks for stopping in. Stack'em N Pack'em
That is a great idea to create more room on your cookers.
Yep, there is more room. Joe has proven that. Thanks-phil
Hey there. I hope this gets to you. With the double grates can you fit a 6 to 8 lb butt in-between them? Thanks
You're turning that kettle into a chicken cookin' machine!
I'm following your lead. lol Thanks Ry
Great mod. I've done something similar for my drums, gonna have to do it to the kettle now.
CHECK on that. So easy and a very useful mod. Thanks-phil
Lookin Good Phil! Love the second shelf, works great with the SNS!
Hey Tom. It's a neat way to add more capacity just in case you need it. Thanks
Thanks for the idea
I suggest since you did all those mods to add a second damper it will make your cooking heat more even.
I don't own a WSM, so I'm curious what is the diameter of the the cooking rack that you are using for the second tier. I wanna add this to my 22" kettle. Thanks. Awesome idea for those of us who smoke on our kettles!! Peace!
It's best to use a 21.5 on the bottom, and a 20.5 for the top grate. Put the SS 3 inch SS bolts, flat washers and flange nuts on top 20.5 grate for the stack grate. That one is 20.5. Since this video, I made some changes changing the bolt length to 3 inches, and use the flange nuts instead of wing nuts. Also put the stainless steel carraige bolts on the smaller grate with the bolt going down with the flange nut an inch off the bottom. This setup makes for an easier operation. I have another video showing it this way. I'll go find it and bring the link back. th-cam.com/video/wO8mxGHLPkI/w-d-xo.html
Go to counter 3:58 to see the stack grate.
Hey Brother! I want to Thank You for what You did with this video. You showed that there are channels out there who dare to do something a little different. Trying something.....experimenting.....and taking a few risks, with results that don't always work as planned. But....for those who care to take notice......they just might learn something.
The grate stack is a Great idea! Joe got a clever idea there and I could see a lot of people using it in the future. I'm banking money that Joe will be making some serious noise among the BBQ channels. I could tell You learned a lot about that set up you used..........You know what to do next time. Give 'Em Hell!!! \m/
I respect your viewpoints and comments. I can tell from them you watch closely and love doing so closely observing not only big things, but small things. You are in a class of a small number of viewers. You always have thought out and truthful comments and I appreciate that about you good buddy. Joe's channel will be a success and willdo well in time. The guy is smoothe as silk and knows what he is doing. Lots of cooks will copy this one for stackin more food for sure. Thanks Ken.
I really appreciate the shout out that Phil did for me.. It's a really good feeling to share my passion for the bbq world and I should've started a channel years ago.
I agree........wish You had started sooner too! Metal On! \m/ @@BBQJOE
It's all about the Que........and we're learning. Thanks Brother! \m/
Hopefully for Joe the legs and leg sockets hold up.
Yea I said that to him too. He is getting a welder friend to build him a more sturdy base.
@@progers5019 It'll be a beast of a smoker. I cut up a 55 gallon drum for a extension on my kettle and when you start adding too many butts or briskets it gets sketchy lol.
What is the difference between the top and bottom ambient temperatures?
Does the top rack meat cook identically to the bottom?
Cool mod Phil! Sometimes you’ll have a cook that doesn’t quite go the way you planned, still looked great and atleast it was chicken 👍
I appreciate that Steve. Thanks
What a bad ass mod!
Appreciate ya checking it out Byron. Go see what Joe has done. 8 levels of grates.
Awesome idea!!
I thought so too Mark. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend
that's trick right there
Just like motorcyles. Just find something to stick on it. lol Thanks for stopping by
What's up Phil, nice video as always
Hey Tom. Been a while. Hope you had a good holiday season and ready for a new year. Still up to some grill mods. Thanks-phil
Love this idea gonna try it for myself.... with the lemon pepper chicken you might try an injection method. I guess any good fruit juice would work with the pepper mixed in or even your own spice rub mixed with the juice then injected into the meat. just sayin
Thanks for watching and commenting. Thanks for the injection tips.
Rack 'em & stack 'em, Phil.
7:40 how much is that doggy in the window?
Great lookin' birds for sure.
RTFO!!! GB
Yep, Toby was keepin an eye on Janet. That Dogie in the window is one high price dogie with what we got sunk in him when you add it all up. Don't like to think about it. LOL Just another way to stack & Pack. Thanks GB
OK I subscribed, but only because it was you who sent me you old scallywag. :-)
Haha, yes I fit that name. I appreciate you doing that for me. AARGHH !!!
Hah I seem to somehow forget everything when I’m filming and do the dumbest things. That’s a really cool easy mod, I’m gonna try it out on the WSM.
Yes it is easy to add with such a great benefit. Thanks Pickles.
What kind of knife was that you were using Phil? I need one of those. I love the channel by the way. I've been a loyal subscriber for a while now.
That is a nice stainless steel knife from Academy Sports Store sells for $19.95. It is a good cutting knife. I hit it on my sharpening rod each time out and it will do the job for sure. Thanks for watching and supporting our little channel.
Thanks for the shout out Phil. I'm definitely enjoying this great mod myself for both kettle and wsm. I'll get a vid out on the 8 rack as soon as I can. What was the issue with the bird ? flavor ? Cause they looked mighty mighty tasty and tender on cam. Oh and Janet, thanks for the reminder.. I haven't had butter beans in years..! I'm going to have my wife Lori make them here soon.
Hey bud. Many of my viewers love your grate stackin method. Noticed your sub count has increased by 45 in 12 hours. They are responding and that is terrific. You deserve it. The chicken was fine. I just didn't maintain the temperature as long as I needed, and the skin didn't brown up like I wanted. Those butter beans are delicious. We season with 2 or 3 strips of fatbak S & P.
@@progers5019 fantasitc channel! i think i got him when you posted his channel on facebook....a day or two before this vid!
@@ChickenFriedBBQ
Thanks for supporting Joe's channel. We will all grow together and learn cool mods like this. Seeya-phil
Next thing you know you will be doin brisket burgers. You need lowering kit for kettle. Or incorporate kettle ash catcher on wsm. Nice looking chicken.
Thanks John, sky is the limit. Just keep stackin.
FREEKIN Awesome PIF.
I think that is so cool too. Joe has it goin on
I see you put a silicone probe port on the kettle. Have you ever had any problems with it when you cook with high heat.
No problems. Weber puts that same silicone port on the Weber Smokey Mountain. It can take the heat. Have had many cooks using it.
@@progers5019 Thank you.
Have you used the Weber charcoal baskets since put the probe port in.
@@arsdallas5146 No, only the sns. The weber baskets would work just fine. Thanks-phil
What size are the washers??
Phil 2 questions. I have a 22" weber kettle that I want to do this mod. Will the top lid of a Weber WSM fit a Weber Kettle? What is the diameter of the top rack, or I'd it just the bottom grill gate used on top?
Hello Darrell. The WSM and Weber Kettle are both 22.5 inches, but the way Weber designed the top edge of each one is different. The kettle is a curled over smooth top and the lid has the overseating flange, and the Smokey Mountain has the flanged mid section which receives the lid with a straight lid edge. In other words they are just the opposite and like two magnets you are trying to put together each ones positive side. So, no one lid will not seat into the other grill/smoker. I tried that early on. Using the stack rack, we are using the 21.5" (normally top grate for either cooker) to be the bottom section, then the bottom grate ( I think is 20 3/4 ") to stack on top. This is good so the lid will have plenty of room to come down without hitting anything especially food like large cuts of meat hanging off the edge.
Hey IFs,
I got a kick out of Toby standing in the window checkin out Mom inside while you were making the vid
Try throwing some applewood chunks in that coal bed for that Chicken Phil, and I know u said you would have preferred it at a higher temp
I do like the Pif rig of using the wing nuts instead of a regular nut for the adjustments
I did not see any dessert with that nice looking meal Phil, ICE CREAM PERHAPS? J
I will do things differently next time. I just screwed it up, but we still crossed the finish line. Yea, Toby was watching Janet. He wants both of us together. Thanks-Phil
You like that I hop restaurant now. Y’all stack em
Stackin N Packin. LOL. Thanks Calvin.
why not just use empty bean cans stack a second grate on top of 4
how about dog standing on the window sill
