How to Use a Weber Kettle Grill Complete Guide 

This is the absolute best overview of the weber kettle grill I have ever seen in my 25+ years of cooking on a weber kettle. Well done! well done! well done! not the meat… you!

Perhaps the only concise tutorial in the entire history of YT.

Clear instructions for beginners, much better than what those so-called experts dudes provide, who often miss important details like the correct temperature.

Who is this girl??? She explains the iconic Weber grill better anyone on the internet, and far beyond the weber reps. She went into detail and explains with perfect instructions on how you should cook on this little kettle!!! Love 💘 thus video. I'm sharing to all my friends that need the help and I'm also subscribing!!!!

Wow! I'm an aussie chick who is getting her first grill today and you've taught me so much!! Thank you!! Can't wait to put a shrimp on the Barbie!

This vid popped up in my YT feed, and although I'm already a die-hard Weber user, I watched it. Most impressed by the concise, well-edited, and stellar, informative narrative. Kudos. Should be watched by all YT hosts as a learning tool. 👌🤙

Clear, no-nonsense instructions. Perfect! Thank you.

Learned more about grilling from your video than EVER, and I’m 73, and just chucked my gas Weber for the charcoal performer deluxe. Keep em coming, Thanks Steve Asheville NC

Fantastic review. I love the style too, no nonsense, no faff, just great information delivered efficiently and effectively, thank you!

My kind of video! Clear, concise, just the meat and bones! Answered alot of my questions!

I just subscribed. I appreciate your video. No fluff and 3 minutes of crap I have to listen to just to hear what I want to hear. 98% of the video was actual information on the grill and the last 2% was you doing promotion. Great way to do it.

I started with a Weber kettle over forty years ago but “upgraded” to gas grills like so many other people. A year or so ago I went back to a Weber and wonder why I ever did the “upgrade.” Nothing beats the taste of charcoal grilling. Darlington, South Carolina

I learned the most from your video about grilling than anywhere else

Got one in the UK - we don’t get the accessories like you do. No trash can just a plate. No Chimney starter tube. No adjustable sides - and they are massively expensive! (eg.The Weber rotisserie attachment here is £175.00 GBP!!!) Great video.

I grilled on my new 22" Kettle last night for the first time 20 years. some 2" strips steaks. Came out great. So happy to have purchased my Kettle. Thanks for a great video!!

Thank you for making it possible for girls like me to not need people who don’t want to help me!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Very simple and straightforward. I would have mentioned a pre-burn or break in burn to "season" the grill. Great video. Thank you.

Am just about to invest in a Weber and found your video. It's very thorough and easy to listen to, great job!

They should include this video link with every new BBQ. Short, simple and informative. Good work. 👌🏻

thanks I’ve owed my kettle for a few years. This video is easy and straight to the point

This chicks a boss. Straight G. Salud. Great video. Best on the Internet when explaining the webber kettle. Im buying one now.

If you're lookin, it aint cookin! Im an avid grill beast and you did an amazing job on this video! I shared it with my beginner grillers/BBQers

Perfect, no nonsense info. Thank you for that! I am picking up my Weber 22" tomorrow...can't wait!

I normally don’t comment but what a great review

This was awesome, best Webber grill video on RU-vid 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your video is absolutely great! I was just kind of confused because after all the videos I’ve watched....You said the exact opposite of everybody else.

Thank you I was given a Weber grill an old one without an ash catcher but never been used….I figured free I’ll learn your video very helpful I’ll be watching for more helpful tips!

Ahhh, I wish I had seen your assembly review yesterday when I was struggling with this grill! I like your review!

OK so I've never cooked on the Weber before and this video was direct, factual and perfect for me. Thanks!

Got a good used one for free. Bought new cooking grate. Should last for years to come. Thank you.

maybe the best information i have ever seen in a yuotube video ..wow no bs just info i love it ..

Thank you, this is the best video I have watched so far on kettle cooking. You explained every detail one requires perfectly. Now I know what to do since being given a kettle grill, Weber, after doing everything with difficulty the first time ever a couple days ago!

That was awesome! Thanks for all the details. This is really helpful for those of us just starting to cook with a kettle and charcoal.

Very comprehensive and clear guide!

Thank you, Madam. My family has been looking for a grill like this (mostly for rotisserie) but did not want to spend over $300. While the Rotisserie attachment would make the entire set up over $300, this product looks way solid than other alternatives. This is going to a good addition to our family 😊

best video I've seen for entry level charcoal grilling

Great demo , as a Weber demonstrator I was well impressed 👌👌👌

I realize after watching this, how much of a noob I am at grilling. :) I use way to much charcoal, never tried a chimney, no gloves and never cover it nor do I wash it until next usage and wonder why the grate gets rusty so fast... After becoming adept at the food part however it has renewed my passion and I will be trying to implement all of these tips. Thanks so much for the great video!!

Happy Mother's Day, it's so nice to see a female grilling. Nothing against men but every time it's grilling time it's always men. Women only get a grill pan in the house on the kitchen stove. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you Ms. Anita Cooks.🙏

finally a no nonsense how-to video!!! we need one for brisket !!!! :D

You are really generous to share your experience. You are amazing.

This is what care, preparation & intelligent cooking looks like

I just grilled using you're tips and OMG my game had improved so much...3 big chicken breasts and two waygu burgers... I'm in heaven

What a fantastic overview! ❤

Thank you for this great and awesome video. My first time grilling using this grill. Wish me luck

I use a water heater overflow pan from home depot to clean my grill. The water heater pan fits a 22 inch grill grate and comes with a hole in the side you can plug with a PVC cap. Fill the water heater pan then soak your grill grate with a little Dawn over night. A light scrubbing the next day and a rinse and you have a grill grate that looks brand new.

Just what I was looking for. Lovely presentation. Thank you.👏👏👏

Btw with the Weber chimney starter the metal handle is meant to be used with the other hand to help you tip the coals out easier.

Your review is the best on this kettle grill, thanks, please do more similar reviews

Wow one of the best informative videos on the overall charcoal grilling process thank you from this newbie

I made fried chicken on my weber kettle today. The skin was crispy not super greasy at all.

Fantastic video! Thank you for doing it!!!

A very easy to understand and well prepared HOW TO? video. Thank you.

Great intro to the point no messing

Great video, full of useful tips. You are a legend. Thanks!

Extremely thorough 👍👍

Really good video. Thank you. Just bought my first weber and I'm hoping to mainly do roasts.

Short sweet and simple, thanks for the tips and informative video.

Nice detailed explanation on how to use the Weber. One item that is not clear is when to add the food. Once preheated the grill is over 500 degrees. Do you add food this hot and then adjust the vents or wait until it reaches the correct temperature range? Again very nice review.

Anita is god sent! Subscribed!! Such an amazing review.

the best video on here

Wow! Great video! We will now buy a weber thanks to your video

Wow your video was brilliant I cooked a spicy spatchcock chicken yesterday the meat was so tender and soft super delicious . I took your advice and got one of those thermometer probe is to check the temperature absolutely brilliant thank you for the video 😄

Excellent Advice Great Job!

Very useful. I was about to buy a grill and this helps!

Harrumph! Tasty BBQ chicken! Nothing like charcoal! This unit has a lot of nice features but I’m still not sold! I mean, degree in differential calculus to assemble! Crappy lid support unless you buy the deluxe unit! Flimsy cloth protective cover! We are not talking a little green egg here girl! So nice to hear from you again cheers… Keith

Great tutorial!! Thank you.

Just The Video I Needed

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, excellent info...well done and thank you.😊😊

Love the kettle. Great video and wow you are beautiful!

Very good video, I really liked it : straight to the subjects, not dancing around it, i truly learned more than I need today about Weber Kettle Grill in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="479">7:59</a> ", thanks Bestkitchenreviews .

Thank you. Great vid. Helped me out today lol.

Perfect video! Thanks, exactly what I was looking for 🙏 - Patrick

This was an amazing video, thank you for the tips.

Perfect video! Straight to the point on everything!!!

i know this is an older video but its concise and very informative. I'm a newbie at grilling so was wondering why you started with indirect heat? Some videos start with direct heat for a quick sear then move to indirect. Does it matter with chicken legs or breast?

Excellent & concise!!

Great video!

Do NOT use that kind of wire brush for cleaning the grill. It is not common but people have ended up in ER's with a tiny piece of that wire stuck inside them somewhere. Ask pretty much any radiologist.

WOW!✨🤗✨ As always for me, YOU are da BEST!!!

Excellent tutorial

A great video. I've just bought a barbie like this. Did you know, if you have charcoal or briquettes that are a bit damp you can use a hot air paint stripper to light them? Works every time, even if it does take a couple of minutes. AND no nasty taste from fire lighters.

I have a Webber grill but does not have a side lid holder, the grate does not have sides that open up and does not have blades for the bottom

Thanks for your useful video! Unfortunately - Weber charcoal grills are no longer made with high quality yet they still cost much more. For instance, my New Weber 22 inch charcoal kettle grill. The steel is noticeably thinner. The top handle is no longer wood and is made of some kind of rubber plastic that gets super hot. The top also warped so it doesn't fit firmly. The fins on the bottom designed to scrape away the ashes have bent and cracked one by one rendering the grill useless for saving un burned charcoal. Hence I am looking for a charcoal grill that is heavy duty if anything like that exists any more in this high profit, low quality manufacturing world.

Great video, but is using a stainless steel brush to clean the lid a good idea? I'd say it would scratch the surface? Most other reviews say a plastic paint remover is the best option. Great video though!

Super helpful video. Well done!

I enjoyed this, very informative ... thanks

You are simply excellent lol 👍🏽

Good video. You covered it well. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you dear for sharing 🙏🏻❤️

Good video thanks for that. Couple of things. For the chicken thighs...20 mins. Each side (40 mins.) 5 mins each side on direct heat (20 mins). But you said total time is 40 mins? Using your advice of keeping the bottom vent open and controlling the heat with the lid vent makes sense, but for both chicken dishes you don't really address the position of the top vent, though I could pause, for a second, during the thighs to see it was about 1/2 open? Overall good by video and helpful. Thank you.

I found this video very helpful

Thanks you Madam, so helpfull

Great job.

A really good video! thanks very much

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Does it matter where the vent and thermometer are placed? i.e. should the vent be over the direct or indirect side or does it not matter?

Amazing , clear, fast review

Coming from the original style weber that has holes on the bottom that are always open, why would I need this grill if you leave the vents open on the bottom anyway?
