YES, you can smoke on the Weber Kettle Charcoal Grill - with this simple Weber Kettle Hack that I’ve been doing for years! One of the most common complaints about trying to smoke meat on the Weber 22in kettle is that it’s difficult to the get the meat away from the fire. But I’ll show you how I do it - and how I’ve smoked amazing brisket, ribs, pork butt, and more on the kettle charcoal grill.
And to illustrate this hack, we’ll go ahead and cook an amazing smoked chuck roast like a brisket - this beef roast came out SO dang good that we couldn’t stop eating it! If you’ve got a Weber Kettle grill, then you’ve got to watch this video!

You can cut a section from a 55 gallon drum and make it any height extension you want. Cut the bottom right in a raised rib and it will sit on top of the Webber. It fits tight. Been doing it for years.

I like it! There are tons of videos on fire management out there, but I've found that Webber knows best. Webber kettles are designed to run with the bottom vent open. The top vent is for controlling heat. 450-550° open 350-450° 1/2 250-350° 1/4 225-275° 1/4 1/8 This is straight from the manufacturer and will get you real close without fighting two dampers.

@tedspang1945 2 месяца назад

You are mostly correct. The big difference is is Weber Smokey mountain is hard to push past 300 degrees Fahrenheit. With this you can have temperatures as high as 500 if you so desired. I personally use a 10 inch extension ring from Cajun Bandit combined with an 18-inch smoker ring any heat deflector on top of that ring. It is amazing how much control you have over that once you get your approach temp correct.

@thelog86 2 месяца назад

I have no problem getting over 300 on wsm, the key is to start with a full load chimney starter using lump charcoal i have upgraded to a better door and have a gasket around door and lid.

An ember flew over to my fence where my ivy was running. Not realizing that ivy leaves are dead behind the green leaves, it caught on fire. The water hose was disconnected due to winter prep. The fire department was called, and the fence was put out before it caught my neighbor and my house on fire! It cost me $1000 to replace the fence. The ivy is now gone, and I never leave my grill tops open unattended. Lesson learned!

I've been cooking this way for years. I got started because I had an RV and wanted a charcoal grill. I settled with the Weber Jumbo Joe. I wanted to do rotisserie chicken like on my 22" Weber kettle at home so I bought the 18" rotisserie attachment. What I discovered was the Jumbo Joe cooks way to hot on its own. However, when I used the ring attachment I could regulate the temp (I added a thermometer to the lid). When I got back home I thought, like you did, and started cooking this way too. I'm telling you guys from years of grilling this way, the man speaks the truth!

@jackedwards7420 Месяц назад

Been doing this for over 35 yrs, it was old then ! Love the way this new generation thinks they discovered something ! You dont have to adjust anything, leave them wide open, just use snake method to regulate temp runs at about 275° with 3 rows of coals 2 rows for 225° and 4 rows for 325° ! Its old school drum smoker, you can get to seal better just cut on rib for tighter fit !

The smokey Joe charcoal grate fits perfectly on the bottom with a pie tin as a diffuser/drip pan & the grill grate fits perfectly in the pot.

I buy, clean, and restore Weber kettles and gas grills and sell them, or give them to friends/family. One thing I hate, and i see it on your copper kettle, is that newer ash pan. I like the old "lift and slide" ash pans, can't stand the "pinch the handle and hope it releases" ash pans. Will have to try a chuck roast soon, I've always done briskets with the charcoal snake.

Great hack. My gateway drug to BBQ was a Homer Simpson Smokey Joe that I turned into a mini-WSM ten years ago with a tamale pot insert. Since then have made or owned about every pit imaginable -- drum smokers, WSMs, PKs, kamados, Camp Chef and Memphis pellet grills, a KBQ C-60, you name it. A mini Chud Box might be my next cooker in the same vein, though way more expensive than this (but have bought all my cookers used). Distance from coals is key but still allows for direct heat BBQ and fuel access.

I did a similar thing when I wanted to add space to my 18.5 WSM. Extended cooking rings were hard to find for an 18.5 WSM so I bought a Cajun Bandit 18.5 rotisserie ring and added support for a grate. I sealed the holes (has lots since it is a reversible rotisserie ring that one side works on 18 in kettles and when flipped it fits a WSM) with silver tape. Now, I don't have to buy a WSM 22 just to increase capacity, and as a bonus I have a rotisserie for my portable 18 inch kettle.

@PelletsandPits 2 месяца назад

@mojoeshaw 2 месяца назад

Great Job on the video! If I can make one point to look out for, I wouldn't wrap any food in direct contact with aluminum foil. The aluminum reacts to the Oleic acid and is drawn into the meat much the same way as tomatoes and aluminum pots or pans react. It's not good and in addition to being very unhealthy to your system, it also gives of a slightly metallic flavor.

@HBSuccess 2 месяца назад

I've used every kind of contraption/grill on he market but today I do *everything* on weber kettles. In terms of losing smoke around any kind of riser ring. I just make a "snake" out of heavy-duty alum foil (roughly 1/2" diam or so) and pack it all around between the grill and the ring. Ditto if using a cheap electric vertical smoker. Speaking of which, I saved the lava rock pan and electric element out of mine (threw the rest away) and that works great for smoking brisket and ribs. Super-clean heat just add some wood chunks for the smoke. Flavor is identical to tending a charcoal fire all night. In terms of space on the kettles - simple. Buy a new one every year or two and run 2-3 at a time. Where else are you going to some something as versatile that will last for years for under $250? I got a burgundy colored premium end-of-season last year for something like $179 with free shipping. Retail from Weber was $239 so even if you pay full price -so what? My normal set-up is two of them with small prep table in-between. Fire only under half so I have half of each grill as a "safe zone" and the hot equiv. of a full standard grill. Love summer BBQ :-)

question- to anyone who wants to answer! something I do not understand with the snake method is that you are basically constantly igniting new coals by doing it that way, I always was told you dont want that kind of smoke in your food like when they are first starting to ignite it is toxic smoke, I have also noticed that smoke smell bad until you get them fully ignited . so was I just told wrong or is there more to this than I am understanding?

This is a great idea! It is like a Smokey Joe but a lot more convenient. And, now you can build a real fire with coal and wood and actually smoke the meat!

I have been thinking about selling the small one and purchasing a 22.5 because it seems to be much more versitile.

I can see that being used for direct heat rib's. It would keep the ribs a good distance from the charcoal

I think calling a accessorie a " hack" might not be very accurate but doable. I use a rotisserie unit from Cajun Bandit. Its all stainless steel, absolutely wonderful and a great tight fit. Next to no smoke leaking and of course the benefits of stainless steel. And the wonderful thing about the 22" kettle size is all accessories that fit the 22"kettle will also fit the 22" Webber Smoky Mountain cooker. I use the rotisserie in the WSM directly over the hot coals without any concerns of flare ups because they can't reach that high but you still get the benefits of the additional flavors from direct that is impossible to get when going indirect. Something to consider. Besides this gives a fellow a great excuse to give to the "boss" why he needs to get another ( the Webber 22" Smoky Mountain) cooker. Good luck everyone 😂. Have a great day. 👍🔥🍻

It's a good hack but if you're going to go to all that you can just get a Pit Barrel Cooker to go along with the Weber. It's basically the same concept. I have both.

Greetings from Australia! We love our Weber kettle. Been trying to find an excuse to buy a rotisserie (we already have a rotisserie for the gas). I really want to try this!

I absolutely love smoked chuck roast. I have an 18" WSM and don't really have room for a full packer brisket. Also the price of brisket these days makes them a bit of a treat where a chuck roast can be a frequent cook without breaking the bank. The hack looks and obviously works great. Seems to me it creates kind of a more flexible WSM. I love it.

@jp4751 3 месяца назад

I also use a WSM as my main grill. Just broke in a 22" kettle, this hack just reminds me of a WSM.

@roger80465 2 месяца назад

@@jp4751 That's certainly not a bad thing for sure. This hack gives you more surface area to work with vs an 18" WSM like mine

@jp4751 2 месяца назад

@@roger80465 I also have the 18" WSM, and it is my go to. Definitely not a bad thing that this hack reminds me of it, just an obsevation. It also looks similar to the tamale pot hack to turn little joe into a 14" wsm.

Great video and glad i came across it! I got the Only Fire version rotisserie ring/ pizza oven like a few others have mentioned in the comments a couple weeks ago. It does have 4 tabs for the grate to rest on up top. I've been thinking about the 2 level cook with it as well. The meat looked amazing! 👌🏻

12:59 "...$80 for a brisket, just get a little chuck roast and try it." In the wayback days, we used chuck, not brisket. Brisket is harder to get good results. In those days, brisket was considerably less expensive, so people finally learned how to BBQ it. When I can find chuck on sale, I stock up. It makes a better BBQ than brisket.

@PelletsandPits 2 месяца назад

Yeah we have bought quite a few as well....same reasoning...for us its really two reasons....time and sheer amount of food...
