Thanks for taking the time to showcase your brisket cook on the Weber Kettle. I have done a brisket on my Weber Smokey Mountain, but never onthe Kettle. It looks like it turned out great. Keep up the good work!
That looks nice. I added the Aura Outdoor Kettle Zone, a Charcoal basket, and the Spider Venom to my kettle. The legs became unstable so I found a used Performer and am very happy now that I do not have to worry about it collapsing. I use my rotisserie riser as an extender and sealed the spit holes with stainless fender washers and bolts with wing nuts.
I got the stainless steel with the ceramic heat diffuser and a few months later they came out with this all ceramic one... Smh. Only issue I've had is that even with the grate lifts it's still close to the heat and sometimes I'll char the bottom of ribs. It can really get hot if you walk away for a while, 300* +.
It does pretty good but yeah you have to watch those edges if your really particular in how you want it to come out. The brisket came out fine. I smoke at low heat (225*-250*) so it's fine. The heat coming from the edges isn't a problem but I've noticed on higher heat then yes, it's more prone to get crispier faster on the edges. It just depends on how high you want your Temps. I hope that helps!
Looks awesome man. I got th same ceramic basket for my akorn grill. You could get a kettle extender and go up higher . From my own experience it's better to get your deflector and meat higher up from th heat to burn hotter below plus more stacking room for more protein. I think you got a winner there can't wait for th next cook. Thanks man
@guythecookingsam2588 not entirely necessary but my goal was to create a hotter burning environment at the firebox to get a cleaner burn from the wood chunks for a better tasting smoak.. I could go on and on about the experiments and things I've tried but I'll save it for another day.. happy smoakin friend. Peace ✌️
Naw I just haven't taken it off. I just had a few people ask me we're I got it from & it says it on the tag but thanks for the reminder. I'll be taking it off now.
Yeah I know what you mean. I do some research on alot of these materials & products I buy especially since it's for cooking. But thanks for the concern, I appreciate it!
