Hi Everyone, I've made a new video cooking a ribeye roast comparing the diffuser plate vs indirect method. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lgJJbDrZY4k.html

Where do you get the smoke ring and diffuser plate

@paulfuller2284 Год назад

As a Brit, we don’t barbecue that often. I had an original Weber Kettle for years and having got a promotion at work I bought the Master Touch 5770. I was really nervous about smoking and using the smoke ring/diffuser. I watched this video faithfully and followed each step carefully. I can’t thank you enough 😄! I absolutely nailed a whole rack of baby back ribs and chicken breast portions and my family have elevated me to the status of barbecue God! Thanks Tom! Your videos are so good even for barbecue novices like me!

@tomwadek Год назад

How cool! Thanks for the compliment but it was all you, bravo! I hope my videos inspire and that’s the goal. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel.

@Ledders_19 11 месяцев назад

I'm UK too! did your baby backs have any meat on top of the bone? mine didn't so accidentally (being a newbie following the 3-2-1 method) cooked them far too long over 6 hours total. i also have the 5770 and haven't used my ring and plate yet

@paulfuller2284 10 месяцев назад

@@Ledders_19 mine did have meat on both sides. I don’t know why but my butcher showed me some really meaty ribs and he said they’re great for the barbecue and said if I wanted a rack of them to ask for the New York ribs. I googled them and they don’t exist so I’m assuming it’s just their name for them. Either way, just ask your butcher for the meatiest ribs they have. I basically avoid supermarket meat as I know my butcher really well, he understand what I’m trying to get at and just gives me what I need. He laughed and asked how I knew about the membrane which I asked him to remove (even he said it’s a pain to remove). I’ve been experimenting with Australian Hot Beads and Green Olive briquettes and I’ve managed to get them burning for 5 hours at a consistent temp. in the charcoal ring and if you’re minded to, you can do pulled pork on there. Take the plunge and have a go with the diffuser and charcoal ring because they’re great. It’s a great barbecue.

@hawkeyeted Год назад

Dissenting opinion: Don't soak your wood. Water doesn't penetrate the wood more than superficially. When you put wet wood on your fire it only serves to cool your fire, cause steam, and creates bad white smoke. Instead, bury your wood under the coals. This helps to preheat the wood as the briquettes burn so that you get clean combustion, and any impurities are incinerated as the wood smoke passes through the lit coals. It a great way to get wood flavor common in an off-set.

@tomwadek Год назад

Thanks for the feedback. I agree and have stopped soaking wood.

@Geddyfleaharris 10 месяцев назад

Water tip I saw on another channel - use boiling water so as not to cool down the kettle as you add your meat. Also, if you find temps are higher than you want, add some cold water to help bring down the temp. Obviously there are limits to how much cold water will reduce your temp. The main reason why I avoid using the diffuser plate is because you basically have to take your grill apart to add fuel. I have a Weber Kamado Summit. Love it. Thanks for the vid.

It depends, if I have enough coals left, you can remove the diffuser and open the vents. Wait for them to get hot and sear.

Great video. I've had my MTP for a couple months now and yet to use the smoke ring a diffuser plate. how does the lid thermometer fare this way> I've been looking at the inkbird for giving me an accurate temperature at grate level. i did baby back ribs the other day using one basket on the side and used the 3-2-1 method. it was my first time doing low and slow and they were overcooked and dry so hoping to try my smoke ring and diffuser plate next time. unfortunately in the UK we don't seem to get the tenderloin meat across the top. but ill speak to my local butcher and see if he can cut my ribs with the loin over the top.. that should help.

@tomwadek 11 месяцев назад

The thermometer performs fine but I always use a wireless thermometer anyways so I don’t really pay much attention to the one on the lid. Add a pan with water or spray your ribs with some water and apple cider. It’s trail and error for the first few cooks but you’ll get the hang out it.

@TMQ1981 2 года назад

Hey great video. I have not used my diffuser plate or my Weber Master Touch Premium for that matter, much if at all, mainly because as you also alluded to the kettle itself is very inefficient with a loss of smoke and heat through any slow cook or smoke (my kettle lid and base do not seal flush). So after only a few uses the diffuser plate looks quite dirty. Did not think to wrap it in foil sadly. Do you have any advice on how to clean it? And help would be much appreciated.

@tomwadek 2 года назад

How to clean the diffuser plate? A pressure washer worked good for me but what works even better was actually bar keepers friend. After seeing how dirty it got, I then decided to wrap it in foil. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@jackwebb5917 9 месяцев назад

Tom, I have a question. I haven’t used my diffuser and ring yet, and was glad to find your video. I’m confused because with other low and slow methods typically only a few coals are lit, and they eventually spread from one end or side. Lighting so many coals all over seems counterintuitive, I’m sure Weber knows what they’re doing I’m just trying to understand how this way of lighting so much of the fuel works for a low and slow cook? I guess it’s because the lit coals are spread out ?

@tomwadek 9 месяцев назад

In the video, I only lit a few piece. Maybe 5-6 and in a small section. The coals will domino and lit as they go giving you low and slow temps.

@hedontevenhavehislicenseli2058 9 месяцев назад

You should get longer cook times if you use a higher quality briquette like B&B. They last quite a bit longer than Kingsford. That many coals with B&B using the Minion method should get you at least 8 hours of cook time.

@gileswhiting2891 2 года назад

I think the point is not to spread the lit coals in the ring. I think you should start the fuel very locally in the centre of the ring and allow it to burn radially outward until all the fuel is used. This way, you can get 10 hours min from smoke diffuser setup. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@tomwadek 2 года назад

Every grill is different. My cousin has a master touch and it likes to be started dead center. Mines like to be started offset to the right. The grill isn’t very efficient because it has major air leaks/gaps. It’s not intended to be a smoker. I feel like 6-7hrs may be the max you can get out of the coals. Check out my review on the grill. I go into more details. Thanks for watching.

Wow so many questions first is did you trim those ribs yourself? Also have you heard pf the minon method? Last question do you know what colour smoke is good smoke?

@tomwadek 2 года назад

The ribs were pre trimmed. I have heard of the minion method but mine had a leak and was recently fixed because it was causing efficiency issues. You want a nice blue smoke. When the wood is first being lit during combustion, you will often times see a thick white smoke. That’s the smoke you should avoid because it will leave a very Smokey and chemical taste to the food. Make sure your coals are lit, add your wood and open the vents up to allow max oxygen and air flow. Wait 5-10 minutes to allow combustion and then once you see a steady stream of blue smoke, your good to go to add your food.

Hi mate. This video is a year old so you might have already learned, but this is NOT the way to set your fire when using the char ring. You want to set the coals together (like you did lighting the initial coals) and let the coals ignite almost like snake or minion method. The way you've shown is burning a lot of fuel at the same time. This is why you're getting a short burn time and having to top up.
