This exchange of knowledge that is occurring on youtube is a amazing thing. As someone who never had a dad. TH-cam single-handedly has helped close that gap and help me be the father I don't know how to be to my own kids (because I never had a role model to teach me). Thank you for the video sir it matters alot more than you might think.
my dad didnt' have someone to show him this stuff...so I didn't learn either...but you're right, youtube is definitely sharing this knowledge in a wonderufl way
as a Brit my experience of BBQ is "throw meat onto a raging inferno until it's burnt to a crisp" but i picked myself up a Weber Kettle at a local hardware place for 50% off!! and now I want to know how to make good BBQ your series is really helping with a no fuss basics, hoping to cook a nice pork joint in the next couple of days.
@@786Kay786 was from GO Outdoors of all places and it was about this time of year. I got the 47cm but would recommend the 57cm if you can stretch to it. Either way you won't regret it I've been using mine all summer and getting some cracking results.
@@Banana_Cognac I did indeed christen it, had some nice results from it in the way of low and slow brisket. This year i've had Brisket, pork shoulder, whole chicken, Ribs of every style you can think, also bought me a little cast iron pan for making pit beans
Not exactly a beginner -79nyears old. Started out on a Weber Kettle. Done the gas grills, the pellet grills and the flat top griddles. Love them all. Dug out my 20 year old 22" Weber Kettle the other day. Put new grates in it. It is like brand new. Ready to get back to the basics!
Same! I’ve done the gas grills, charcoal table top, pellet smokers, now going back to the basics. Just bought a Webber kettle and a rotisserie, can’t wait to do chickens!
28 years old here and have been wanting to learn how to grill for a while. This was the exact video and channel I needed to find 👍🏽👍🏽 Very informative and clear, thank you!
Out of all the videos I have seen so far about charcoal grills on TH-cam, you sir, explained everything the easiest and simplest way and now I think I got this. Thank you and appreciate it.
I clean my Weber Grill out about every year with Easy Off Oven Cleaner Spray, Brillo Pads and high-pressure water makes the bowl almost brand new again.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I’m terrible on the grill. I’m fairly good in the kitchen. Hopefully your instructions and tips will make me a better rounded cook. You are teaching me a lot. I have the Weber Kettle.
This is an excellent video demonstrating. “Barbeque” and not. “Grilling” on aCharcoal burner Weber. Thank you for sharing and taking the vid to the resulting end. I do this with pork butt roasts and get a lot of compliments, it take 6-8 hours to do one but worth it.
Thanks for not talking this to death. The most irritating thing about home produced how to videos is so often people talk and talk before they ever get to the point. Loved this one.
Wife found one being given for free outside neibours house. Spent 4 hours fixing it, had a lot to do before I can cook on it. Still waiting for a new thermometer to arrive so I can start. Changed grill plates bottom brackets to hold charcoal grill plate and removed some rust inside and out then sprayed some high temperature paint on the brackets and metal that I repaired. Looking good but think I should have just bought a new one instead. Thanks for this video can not wait to try it out. Graeme in Australia
Thank you. I've always wanted to bbq my own meat but didn't have a clue where to begin. Your instructions were easy to understand, sometimes experts tend to make it too complicated for a beginner but I feel confident enough to at least give it a try now. Thank you again for keeping it basic and uncomplicated.
I have learned so much from your videos!!! In a world where there is so much useless info on the internet, I am very thankful for your contribution!!!! I love cooking awesome food outside, thanks to people like you!!!❤
I started a couple of years ago when I finally started to have a little more time. Highly recommend a smoker of like the Weber Smokey Mountain or a pellet grill if you can spend that much. My very first baby back ribs turned out great and just last weekend I smoked a pork shoulder for the first time. It was better than most barbeque I've had and was very inexpensive on sale.
my hubby just bought me the weber mastertouch....been researching a month lol...so I guess this week I'll be learning how to cook all over again...iam excited
Thank you learnt alot. I use a j cut oil barrel and want a Webber for aller capacity cooks. The way you relay information is very clear and concise. Just earnt a new sub. Love from the UK
Thank you so much. I have learned so much about putting charcoal on one side. I have always dumped it in the middle. Your instructions on roast beef grilling and also briquette grilling are awesome. Very informative video.
Way to go Russ. Back to the basics. I used to put 2 bricks in the middle to separate the zones but the slo and sear works much better. once you learn how to use the weber you can smoke or grill anything.
Great video on Weber basics sir!! I have 3 Weber kettles including 1 Performer Deluxe. I love them!! Best bang for the buck grill ever!! Looks like SNS created a grill with all of the most requested add-ons to the Weber. Looks like a really nice kettle right outta the box!!! I've purchased 2 pellet grill/smokers in the last few months and really like them as well...however, nothing will ever replace my charcoal grills. Thank you from central Mississippi !!!!!
After having started my grilling many years ago with propane, I am being drawn to charcoal more and more. The flavour, and the patience and work that goes into it is a process that yields the most satisfying results. There is no contest between gas and brick BBQ flavour. I may need to make the switch... Thank you, tremendously for this video.
this is really relaxing and informative. the vibe really makes me wanna get out and try some of this stuff. snake method is cool, never seen it before!
Good Job!!! Great detail!! This is my first Kettle Grill I own an offset Smoker which I do all my BBQ work on. I have heard from many that the Kettle does a damn good job as well, So I up for the challenge!!! The real test for me is when I try to smoke a Brisket :). Thanks again....
Thank you! You took your time explained the processes…I’m ready to experiment! YOU ARE A TEACHER! Not many have the skill to teach as well as do….I’m hooked thank you again I will be watching to learn more so that I can progress!
Nice video, but I don't understand American's pushing products not made in America that cost as much or more than products made in the USA. S and S is run by a veteran, but it's not made in America. He learned nothing but how to imitate an American company and put it overseas. Thanks for the grilling tips!
Russ this was an exceptional tutorial for the new BBQers. If I was a beginner and watched this I would be confident to be able to successfully put some great food on the table for my family. Great vid !!!!!
I'm watching this vid a couple weeks before my son's first birthday party and this gave me all the confidence I need. Compared to the other youtube channels this helps me realize 110% perfection isn't required to get a good meal for family and friends
Great video for someone who's getting back in the game. It's been a long time and this was a great start for the Weber I've got in my backyard. I'll be watching your videos all summer long.
I modified my Webber I added a second bottom vent like the SNS and I also added second vent on the lid closer to the grill grate. I cut a Webber vent cover in half and drilled two holes to do that. I also use a slow and sear. My main reason to modify the Webber kettle vs buy a SnS is my Webber kettle is made in the USA. I have a drip n griddle I use most of the time to catch grease but I add a foil pan if my cooking a brisket or pork shoulder. The griddle gets a lil to full for larger chunks of meat.
I find using a large pie pan in the middle and setting the charcoal around it works really well, that way you have a drip pan, you can put water in the pan for moisture, keeps everything neat and clean temps seem more consistent throughout the cook as well. I bought a large aluminum pan just for the snake method
Sounds like a winner. The water pan is great for smoking too, it reduces temperatures to allow for better smoke. Wood smokes best between 570-750f, but meat like about 225 or so. This is why offset smokers exist. But the water pan helps drop the temperature with steam power! Also moisturizing your meat like a Komado, kind of. If smoking try playing with the wood. fruit woods smoke @ lower temps and can be tossed on top, seed woods want higher temps and you might want them under the coals. In some kettles you can even use the ash catcher for wood placement (normally smaller chips)
I love how you make it normal and easy to understand without the frills and fancy crap you see in other vids lol Great vid for a newbie like me thank you!
Great video! I love my Weber Kettle.. I have an Oklahoma joe drum smoker, and Pitt boss, and a Weber... i use the Weber 95% of the time... the best outdoor cooking grill ever made. I'm sure that SnS version is kick-ass and has a few cooler features... I saw one at Home Depot the other day and was impressed with it.
I'm cooking a rib eye now on the Webber now. G'day from South Australia Roseworthy. This is my first time to cook this cut of meat for the first time Happy days!👍
Never knew about putting the charcoal only on one side I always just dumped it in. I've mainly used Weber gas grill but have been using charcoal lately as well. Thanks for the great tips sir.
I spent 25 years loving the fact that I had a natural gas grill, I never cooked with charcoal until I had my AH Ha moment and I started cooking with charcoal, boy I love it now, my new love, I have 5 more cookers now, I just bought the weber kettle on a cart but I did not know how to use it, thanks for the tips, PS I sub'd.
Thank you very much! I have had s Weber grill for many years and thanks to this video I finally managed to BBQ successfully, as well as control the grill. I now understand the technique for managing the temperature and the different cooking zones were game changers. I will have much more confidence next time and will prepare the marinades and baste the meat
Rus this works pretty well on an old-time griller like myself. I think we all pick up tips and tricks over the years and forget the basic stuff. Thanks brother. Cheers!
Loving the series Russ. I've been cooking on open fire since I was about 8. I was born in 75, so it's been a while. Went through a couple of Webers in the past 25 years of BBQ-ing. Not to mention the cheap offsets.. as you know.. the cheap offsets are garbage. Current arsenal is: for a kettle style my current favorite is a Napoleon. Added a komado grill. Bastard grill, Dutch brand (I'm Dutch). Just ordered the PK grills Go and tailgate grill. But to get back to the point I was supposed to make.. This new series of yours has grabbed the attention of my 12 yr old daughter and she takes your word over mine regarding grilling and smoking. Yes this series is good!
My first Weber was black. Got some early videos using it. It’s a good all purpose grill that you can literally cook anything on and it won’t break the bank
Just bought a Weber Master Touch kettle grill today.Took me 1 hour to assemble it and it only wounded me once on the back of my left hand middle finger.Also picked up 2 bags of Kingsford and a bag of mesquite wood chunks a a Weber chimney.Just waiting for some decent weather to put it to use on a nice piece of brisket.
Fantastic video man! I did months of research before finally settling in on a weber kettle, and it has been an absolute game changer. I have 2, and they're all I use for everything I do. I've been meaning to do a similar kind of video for my channel, but right now I'm just trying to focus on getting more cooks posted. Looking forward to seeing more from ya. Take care!
Man Rus I could have used this video 30 years ago when I started my low n slow backyard barbecuing and never had any learning curve to deal with! This video hits all the key points on running a kettle and if you are a beginner to a kettle this one needs to be saved in your favorites for sure!! Great job brother and great series!!
Thanks Jeff! After doing this so long I tend to forget that there are a lot of my viewers that are new to this and are wanting something to teach them the basics to get started, so I figured a series with detailed information on different smokers would be a good way to give these viewers what they are searching for.
I am so thankful to own 2 webber kettles and I have learned so much Grilling off of them only to ultimately respect the versatility of the by far best BBQ Bang for your buck with so many options!! You're video, for me today, redefined how profound your experience can be "Grillin Like A Villain" on a Kettle!! Thank you so much!! GRILL ON MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS!👊🍻🔥🇨🇦
Well explained! Thank you. Single woman, new to grilling but interested in learning so I’ve purchased everything I need to get started and this video has helped me lessen my anxiety 😊
Great informative program for cookin on tha grill and spices and sauces, amongst bbq meats, plus my grandson loves watchin and he does a little dance to the music intro!!!!
I've relied on this channel a lot over the years. I picked up a Webber kettle today for $30.00. I bet it hasn't been used 10 times. This video was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you!! That was really really helpful ! I like the way you explain the 'why' of everything you did. As a newbie it gave me the confidence to adjust the temperature of the Weber to achieve the temperature I'd like.
HAHA. I will be following in your footsteps shortly. Although I am entering the jousting ring with a meat thermometer! Which sounds counterintuitive as I say the words.
Great video! You explained each step so clearly, including the how and why behind everything. For the smoked meat in the video, did you add any extra charcoal? Also, a technical question-how do you prevent sudden flare-ups from charring the meat while grilling?
lollllll that was funny. Probably didn't affect anything but the sound of that gas running made me think we were about to cut something with an oxy-acytlene torch lol.
Hi from the UK, I've just bought my first weber kettle and can't wait to use it. Your tips are awesome, thanks for sharing, loved that pulled meat :-) Stay safe.
I was searching TH-cam to see the difference between a Weber Premium and Mastertouch. All I ever used was Weber 22 Original or an offset smoker but was looking to upgrade to a premium , possibly a master touch. Came across this video! Premium is definitely better because you can remove the lid for a rotisserie attachment and kettlestone for pizza but damn! I’ve smoked so many things on my 22 Weber, ribs, steaks , lamb etc using indirect heat. I’m not even lying I want to buy a chuck roast just to try it . Never done one! Great Video
Great video thank you, been thinking about getting a Weber as I got rid of my stick burner and I have a pellet grill. Miss the charcoal fire..anxious to see the comparison of the SnS vs. Weber.
Awesome video! I tend to think the gauge and vent are oriented that way for use of the charcoal baskets on each a side making the middle the cook zone, I could be wrong but that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
I agree, centering the the vent and the thermometer centerline exactly between two charcoal baskets would allow the thermometer to be more accurate and it would still position the vent somewhat over the meat. I actually use to use that exact method quite often, but I tend to get much longer cooks without adding additional charcoal by using the snake method on the opposite side of the meat.
well Sir. this intrigues me a lot , because I have never cooked a piece of meat so long on a Weber to achieve the same result , Weber's were intended so that you could cook more efficiently and effectively in a time reduced manner , so cooking for such a length of time defeats the purpose. Now in saying that, I do love my BBQ's and smoked meat, and I will always look for a better or different way to enjoy my meat, so I am going to try your method, and I'll get back to you, because it did look fantastic . Stay safe and Happy 4th July , from Scotland .
I just seasoned one of these Weber Kettle Grills on Yesterday after assembling it the day before. Going to Grill Conecuh Sausage and Hot Dogs on it in the next few hours... Thanks for sharing Your excellent demonstration video Rus!

Single woman, new to grilling but interested in learning so I’ve purchased everything I need to get started and this video has helped me lessen my anxiety 😊
You're welcome, glad it helped
Great informative program for cookin on tha grill and spices and sauces, amongst bbq meats, plus my grandson loves watchin and he does a little dance to the music intro!!!!
2:00 in the morning here with a whole lotta snow falling and here I am tempted to lay a Chuck Roast in one of my Webers... That looks fantastic, Rus!
Hey Dan, great seeing you stop by brother! Hope all is well with you and your family! Great to hear from you!!!
This is the most informative TH-cam video I have ever seen!
I've relied on this channel a lot over the years. I picked up a Webber kettle today for $30.00. I bet it hasn't been used 10 times. This video was exactly what I was looking for.
i highly recommend the home alone doorknob loop charcoal heater. clean and easy
Thank you!! That was really really helpful ! I like the way you explain the 'why' of everything you did. As a newbie it gave me the confidence to adjust the temperature of the Weber to achieve the temperature I'd like.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information, Thank you. I do the same, But I spent a few dollars and bought the charcoal retainers. They are very good to create a hot zone
Wow straight to the point . Great video . I love my webers got 2 different sizes. Thanks for video
I'm loving these series...awesome technique and tips. But that roast looked smacking good.
Thanks Ray Mack I appreciate you checking it out
This was SO HELPFUL! Tried barbecuing the first time today and made so many mistakes 🤦♀️ . Learning from my mistakes
HAHA. I will be following in your footsteps shortly. Although I am entering the jousting ring with a meat thermometer!
Which sounds counterintuitive as I say the words.
Great video! You explained each step so clearly, including the how and why behind everything. For the smoked meat in the video, did you add any extra charcoal? Also, a technical question-how do you prevent sudden flare-ups from charring the meat while grilling?
No that was enough charcoal with some left. You won't get flare ups if you leave the lid on.
7:50 "Lets get this started with the tumbleweeds under the charcoal shall we..."
Brings in a WW II Fire Torch.🤔
lollllll that was funny. Probably didn't affect anything but the sound of that gas running made me think we were about to cut something with an oxy-acytlene torch lol.
That was really good.....I am going to try this tomorrow for Easter dinner. Great presentation.
Would love to see a comparison of the kettle grill video. Thanks for all you do!!!!
Hey I missed your videos you are a great instructor need more video’s 👍🏾🙏🏾
I’m still putting out videos. TH-cam has gotten bad about sending out notifications. Glad you enjoy them!
Love Weber charcoal grill s and Kingsford charcoal
Hi from the UK, I've just bought my first weber kettle and can't wait to use it. Your tips are awesome, thanks for sharing, loved that pulled meat :-) Stay safe.
Enjoy!
Hello there, this was excellent video. I learnt so much by watching the video. You explained and showed how to grill beautifully. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video for a slow cook! Thank you for the tips and advice !
Thanks for watching!
I was searching TH-cam to see the difference between a Weber Premium and Mastertouch. All I ever used was Weber 22 Original or an offset smoker but was looking to upgrade to a premium , possibly a master touch. Came across this video! Premium is definitely better because you can remove the lid for a rotisserie attachment and kettlestone for pizza but damn! I’ve smoked so many things on my 22 Weber, ribs, steaks , lamb etc using indirect heat. I’m not even lying I want to buy a chuck roast just to try it . Never done one! Great Video
Great video thank you, been thinking about getting a Weber as I got rid of my stick burner and I have a pellet grill. Miss the charcoal fire..anxious to see the comparison of the SnS vs. Weber.
Totally agree with temp gauge placement on Webers. But, I still love em and only use em. Simple, easy, reliable and parts are easy to replace.
Awesome video! I tend to think the gauge and vent are oriented that way for use of the charcoal baskets on each a side making the middle the cook zone, I could be wrong but that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
I agree, centering the the vent and the thermometer centerline exactly between two charcoal baskets would allow the thermometer to be more accurate and it would still position the vent somewhat over the meat. I actually use to use that exact method quite often, but I tend to get much longer cooks without adding additional charcoal by using the snake method on the opposite side of the meat.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ snake method is definitely better for a long cook
Great video! Just bought a new Weber and your info is very timely and helpful
Hey man, nice work! I enjoyed your explanation. It’s actually very nice to listen to, so thank you
Very informative, I was doing a snake a little differently but like yours better. and learning the vents is always a great thing to relearn.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m into offset smokers and thinking about trying the Webber. Thanks for the video I had no idea you slow cook on them too
Opening the vents is what I was missing! Thank you for the tips!
Happy to help!
Great video! Just picked one up awhile ago. Haven't used it yet but this has helped a ton.
An absolute pro!! So much good information here.
Glad it was helpful!
My wife said she is getting me a weber kettle premium for my birthday this June and I'm pumped
well Sir. this intrigues me a lot , because I have never cooked a piece of meat so long on a Weber to achieve the same result , Weber's were intended so that you could cook more efficiently and effectively in a time reduced manner , so cooking for such a length of time defeats the purpose. Now in saying that, I do love my BBQ's and smoked meat, and I will always look for a better or different way to enjoy my meat, so I am going to try your method, and I'll get back to you, because it did look fantastic . Stay safe and Happy 4th July , from Scotland .
I just seasoned one of these Weber Kettle Grills on Yesterday after assembling it the day before.
Going to Grill Conecuh Sausage and Hot Dogs on it in the next few hours...
Thanks for sharing Your excellent demonstration video Rus!
Your welcome!
