- In this video I'll show you how to set up a charcoal grill for smoking. Just because you don't have a dedicated smoker doesn't mean you can't BBQ with the best of them! Anything that can be smoked in a smoker can be smoked on a charcoal grill.
Below are some links to the products I use and recommend:
Weber 22 inch Charcoal Grill - amzn.to/2mRKSEb
Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter - amzn.to/2n8IGKs
Stainless Steel Hinged Grilling Grate - amzn.to/2mRO8PY
Kingsford Original Charcoal - amzn.to/2noNYDD
Oven Thermometer - amzn.to/2nos4Aq
Hyco Grill Thermometer - amzn.to/2vU6xS9

I trust your bbq knowledge because of your accent
😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😭😭💯💯 also, reminds me my boy zach galifianakis, I don’t know why😭😭😆 but love their south accent !!
Ha!!!! 😆
Ha Ha how true Yankees can’t smoke!
Hey Brother, i tried this method over the weekend and ended up with the best ribs I've ever made. Tender, moist, perfect. Thank you!
The way you talk makes me feel relaxed 😌
That's pretty clever with the thermometer placement- knowing the temperatures over the coals and over the area without coals. Good tip! Thanks!👍🏻
Thank you!
Your accent is oddly relaxing bro. Lol. Thanks for the info.
Tee Jay I agree! I try to reproduce it but I’m from the Rocky Mountains & I cant nail it, not even close!
I've i'm going to trust anyone with BBQ tips it's this guy
🤔 Did you actually read this before posting it? Wtf are you saying?
@@Shabec2982 She said "If I'm going to trust anyone with BBQ tips it's this guy". Auto correct probably changed "If" to "I've" . It happens.
Brother for the 5 to 10 years that I've been on TH-cam, I think I've commented on maybe 5 to 8 videos, and yours is one that I felt the need to comment on this really was a great video. I was over here trying to cook. Only chunks of wood like you were using, but no charcoal Briquettes whatsoever. That was a good tip. To use the foil pan of water. Thanks again honestly.
As soon as I heard his accent I knew right away this guy was an expert in smoking meat 😆
I've been looking to start grilling and your videos are so informative that I'm pumped to start !
Thanks for these informative videos brother I'm just starting the new world of charcoal grilling really excited. got the exact same grill that you have please keep up the great work from upstate New York.
Your very welcome! I hope you will grow to enjoy grilling as much as I do! I don't think you'll be let down by your grill. They are a work horse! Thanks for watching. I'm in the mountains of Kentucky. Hope to visit your part of the country someday.
I read somewhere that before adding food to the grill, all of the charcoal needs to be *white ashed over* or else bad flavors from the *black* charcoal would cause off flavors to the food. What I have done in the past is use a seperate fire area to have burning charcoal so when it is ashed over I would throw in the ready briquettes (10ish) to my grill. This way the temps would only fluctuate 5 to 10 degrees only.
How I miss the South!!!😂😂😂
Thanks so much for doing these videos. I'm learning so much about charcoal grills from you. I switched from gas to charcoal because I live in Flordia now and if we hit hit by a hurricane I wanted a grill that didn't rely on gas or electric and I could store its source of fuel easily.
I've watched several videos on this topic and I think you had the clearest explanation. Also, you are the first person I've seen place a thermometer under the vent where it belongs.
Forgot to mention: If you get the chance, I recommend watching Louisiana Cajun Recipes...ol' JB is a good cook. Also Malcom Reed on TH-cam. Just my 2cents.
Glade I found your channel..... I've tried the snake method before in my kettle with some ribs and it worked pretty good, I'm going to try your method on my next cook session....By the way I really Love the accent----- Good ole country boy---- God bless you to man, Keep up the good work!!!!!
Thank you Matthew!
I’m gonna try the snake method the next time I grill peace and blessings sir!
what other people need to realize, grilling just takes experience over the years and you have to really love grilling to turn out the best cooks each time,
after you get a lot of grill time, YOU then become one with whatever grill you re grilling with, at this point, you feel the heat zone differences , with each grill and when the grill lid is on, if you are experienced, then you can feel in your bones, the way the meat is cooking, hard to explain, but all will understand after you gain the experience,
thanks so much for your viedos
Gaining the experience is the fun part too! Thanks for watching!
I’m buying a cheep little grill from Walmart this week and need a quick little knowledge. This’ll do perfectly for my 6lb brisket
Accent checked out. He’s gained my trust when it comes to grilling.
Run forest run !!! Love that accent bruh..
Love southern accent, makes me smile.
Yeah, hot doggy. I love it too😉👍🇦🇺
Great video. I followed this method on my wings turned out perfect!! Great work!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and I'm glad to have been able to help!
"Charco" lol I've watched many "how to" vids and this is as good as any on smoking with the Weber. He covers all the best tips: A temp gauge. Chunk wood instead of chips. A grate that has hinges. Other than fire-proof gloves, he covers it all. Great video.
I've learned something today. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you! God Bless You! Happy Thanksgiving!
Can you make a video on how to control the temperature. Thanks!
Will definitely try to include that in a future video. Thank you!
@@KitchenAlpha many thanks. Already subscribed to your channel for what you do and also for your cool accent. Keep up the good work!
Everyone talks about your accent but you sound like everybody that lives around me.
Kentucky! Thanks for watching Jeff!
@@KitchenAlpha Texas over here. Id invite you to my bbq sir.
I have charcoal baskets for my Weber. Put them on opposite sides and fill half full of unlit coals then add hot coals.This works good for me doing chicken, turkey, ribs etc
Thanks for ur video, used your techniques and it worked great thank you!!
I noticed you did not soak your hickory chips was wondering why
I generally use chunks when I am smoking and I don't soak them.
Thank you sir. I have enjoyed watching your videos. I had no idea how to smoke with a weber but your videos have been very helpful. I love using my weber now. Thanks again.
Thanks for the advice. Going to use these tips on my home made concrete smoker! First cook tomorrow.. wish me luck 😀
Awesome!
I would like to know how you installed your thermometers.
Thanks for the great info :) i'm going to start smoking my own meat as it's expensive here in Cyprus, but pork is cheap to buy.
Thank you for watching!
Just excellent. Well explained! I see you don’t use a box for your coals. Does that matter?
I just pile mine up on the grate but there is nothing wrong with either way!
Thank you for showing us newbies how to properly smoke meat!
This was very helpful Alpha. Thank you. God bless you as well.
where's this beautiful accent from?
Hey thanks for watching! Southeast Kentucky!
I just cooked dinner on the Webber that I didn't use over a year thanks to your videos, I cooked chicken wings, salmon and lamb chops.
Wow that sounds so awesome! I'm glad you watched and decided to use your grill. I hope to encourage folks to get in the kitchen or fire up the grill and get cooking!
Thank you! I’m learning!
God bless
Klaus
Glad to help!
This gentleman knows his stuff. Very well done.
Thank you!
just want to say , i really enjoy your videos, i have had a weber kettle for more than 25 years, now a pit boss pro series pellet grill, and a genisis weber gas grill, just curious where you are from, i am from south carolina and now living hickory n.c.
keep up the good work, BE GOOD BE SAFE
Awesome Nick! I appreciate your comments my friend! Take care!
I'm from Kentucky nick!
Excellent video. Thank you I am going to try a Brisket in my Weber Master Touch instead of my Bullet smoker this fathers day.
Wow , REALLY good explanation!! So glad I came across your video. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. How do add the thermometer in the back of the grill?
Thank you! It's very simple, you just drill a whole and push the stem of the thermometer through and tighten a wing nut. I can't remember what size bit I used but you just want to match the stem on the thermometor. Thermometers can be picked up on Amazon pretty inexpensively.
I love your easy going demeanor. Best of luck to you.
learned the hard way, last time grilled..... Used a cheaper charcoal and had hard time with heat....... Was using halve moon shaped (2) on two sides and putting meat in the middle.... Plan to use up the cheap charcoal and get back to Kingsford....
Thanks for sharing your skills. I'm sharing your channel in my video description for my first smoked brisket.
Thank you so much!
Great video! I really enjoy how you explained it. I am looking to try smoking soon
+Ross Pritch thank you so much! I think you will really enjoy it. Hopefuly this video will help you get off to a good start and then you can learn from there.
Is there a process for adding more charcoal? Does it produce bad smoke if you add it mid cook? Or do you preheat the charcoal?
Hey Ryan!! I'm surfin' TH-cam and caught your videos, keep up the great work on the videos. I'm gettin' my grill(Yoder Pellet) ready for some NFL action-Houston Texans and University of Oklahoma-OU college football.Keep the videos coming and I wish you well on your future videos and on that restaurant. Don't give up...you'll get there!!
Thank you for watching! I love making these videos and hope they will be of some help to people. I have watched Malcom Reed before and his videos are awesome. I'll have to check out Louisiana Cajun Recipes. I'm looking forward to some college football here in Kentucky. Thank you for the kind words!
Oklahoma Kid Still another month to go but im looking forward to NFL aswell .
Kitchen Alpha Im a buffalo bills fan (does that count?).
Kitchen Alpha Are you sponsored by kingsford?
No I just like their charcoal. I also like Royal Oak as well depending on what type of cooking i'm doing.
Dude, you’re fantastic!!!! Thanks for the content.
This is 1 of the best videos on exactly what I was looking for. I don't have an expensive smoker but do have a Weber just like yours. I want to use it for both grilling and as a smoker and was having a little trouble with that.
Hey Alan I hope this video helped! You can do a lot of smoking with your Weber!
Super helpful video! Smoking a pork butt today.
I’m new to bbq this is probably a dumb question but the water pan adds moisture?
Wow I love your channel! I’ve always used propane but I’m switching to charcoal, will follow all your advice, thanks!
Awesome! You won't regret the switch. I know propane is convenient but once you start using charcoal you will love it.
Hank hill would be disappointed in u but I’m not
@@KitchenAlpha there is just something about the smell of a charcoa grilll! There's nothing else quite like it! It's heaven!
How do I keep the charcoal burning???
This was very very helpful m. Thank you!!!
I GREW UP WITH REAL CHARCOAL BBQS. OUR MOM MADE THE BEST HONEY/GARLIC PORK CHOPS EVER AND BEFORE HONEY AND GARLIC WAS A FASHION. BUT NO PROPANE OR GAS CAN TOUCH THE AROMA AND FLAVOR OF REAL CHARCOAL!! SADLY FOR CONVENIENCE, USING THIS FOR ONE PORK CHOP IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
There is more work to it but definitely better flavor!
I wish this gentleman was my next door neighbor!
I just stumbled on this video, and Wow! It makes great sense, and I'm glad someone took the time to encourage some of us common folk with our regular grilles for smoking. I'm gonna give it a try. I had a smoker, but it was a real pain cleaning. Great advice!
Pretty much reading all of these comments in this great mans accent
Really helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@KitchenAlpha so, using this method, I've smoked 2 beautiful and delicious 6 pounds briskets and I literally just fired the grill for 2 racks of ribs. Thank you again.
I refuse to buy a traeger. It's too easy. This method requires skill and love!
Great informative video bud! Are you taking a break from making vids?
He's back!
Hello there! Glad to see you back on TH-cam. For people who are purchasing a Charcoal Kettle Grill for the first time. I was wondering is there's a way if you can demonstrate on Seasoning your grill before you can start grilling? I think that would be a good idea. please let me know and may God bless you my brother!
Tim Williams 🙏🏾
Awesome bro thanks
Thank you for your clear explanation. I’m thinking about making some andouille, the recipes seem to want to keep the heat a little lower (so as to not melt the fat) and smoke them for about twelve hours. Would you use this method to do that? I don’t want to get to the last part of the process and ruin it. I appreciate any guidance you can give.
Yes you definitely could do that. Just keep an eye on the temp and adjust vents as needed.
@@KitchenAlpha Thank you! I love your channel. It’s a great knowledge resource.
Thumbs up for the accent
Thank you for detailed instructions, I am smoking stuffed bacon wrapped chicken thighs, for the first time…I am the one who cooks on grill in my family
Good deal work's great
Thanks mate! Really helpful 👍🙏
Glad to help!!!
Thank you! Straightforward and much appreciated. Especially about the location of the lid thermometer.
Great video, clear and simple, thanks
God bless you too sir
Thank you!
God Bless you too, and thank you for making these videos. Im BBQing for the 1st time tomorrow 🙌🏽
He's right... I learned not to use lump when smoking. It burns inconsistent, the heat fluctuates to much.
Thanks for sharing. I've learn something new from this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Bubba I’m trying my first smoked charcoal experience thanks to you !
Hick voice equals good barbecue.
How did you add those thermometers on there
good info. thank you.
Thank You.
Very well explained..
Im gonna try it!👍
Thanks so much for this. this was so useful for a gal learning how to do this for the first time. Mands
Great video dude!
+Miguel Hernandez thank you very much!
I love this dude, lol. #NH
What would happen if you didn’t use charcoal but only wood chunks?
Great video! Thanks.
You perfectly explained how to control the temperature..thank you
very informative thx
Great video, thank you. What is the wood product? Want to order some
I loved your video great stuff
Hello everyone, can anyone tell me what accent is this? where it is spoken?
Hank hills arch nemesis.
How did you add the thermometers?
The thermometers use a small wingnut, so all you have to do is drill a small hole, stick the thermometer through it and tighten it. It's very simple.
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
@@KitchenAlpha Smart idea! I plan on trying that
Great video! You're da man!!!
I feel like watching western movies and eatting BBQ
good work will try boss
Where can I get a grill like that?
Check with local hardware or sporting good stores if anybzre in your area. If not then try your local home improvement store or Amazon.
Kitchen Alpha rocks! Knows his stuff!
can show vid how to.modify n add the thermometer.on the cover
I actually want to come there one day and try one of those...
