A great tutorial. You are a very good teacher and don't waffle on like some others on RU-vid. Your points were well demonstrated. G'day from Australia.

That diffuser on my drum smoker is awesome!!

Just coming across and subscribing to the channel. Nice Presentation...We're looking forward to the Santa Maria clip, on the fence to buy one...can't get enough of what you don't need is our BBQ motto!

I have had many different barbecues the weber kettle is the best hands down

You do a great job for us novices!

I thought I saw it all from Weber. That heat deflector surprised me. Good job!!!

Man great video. You want to donate a weber grill. I love it

I actually used the charcoal baskets and made a slow and sear sized charcoal basket. Works great for indirect cooking and searing without spending an extra $120. Great tips for those new to using a kettle!

The very best accessory for the Weber Kettle is the Spider Grills Venom! Turned my kettle into a true "set it and forget it" cooking machine.....

Excellent! Thank you!

Need to do a revoew woth the only fire kamado ceramic for the weber 22 inch

Now you have me wanting to try my skills at a tomahawk! Thanks for the info

Since one of the upsides of a kettle is how evenly it cooks, as long as your burgers aren’t too fatty and you don’t crowd them there’s no issue to grilling say, 10 large up to 13 small burgers over an even bed of charcoal. Done it a kazillion times. You just shut the bottom vent when flipping and open back up when replacing the lid. What I won’t do, though, is try to grill a full grate of leg quarters. That’s when indirect is necessary. Although I feel the SlowNSear is a bit over-rated their EasySpin stainless grate with the large coal access on one side is what Weber should’ve designed. First of all you’ll be able to fit more wings on when using the Vortex and yet the stainless should withstand the heat in the center. Secondly, if one side of your grill is cooking hotter than the other you can easily add charcoal to a side and/or spin the grate to even cooking. Good video. One thing to remember about the Santa Maria and such is that heavy accessories such as that aren’t the best for the three legged kettles, especially the 26” Weber. This is one of the strengths of the Performer. No chance of the leg sockets getting over-stressed and the bottom of the kettle warping and worse. Had so many webers I’d have to stop and think to count. Now I’m cooking with a PK and an KJ but still have some baskets, vortex, and SlowNSear EasySpin grate in shed from my last kettle, a Performer that somehow rusted all the way through.

Are you not using the vortex upside down?

I was wondering if that Santa Maria attachment was the one from Titan industries. Looks very similar. If not can I ask who it’s from or how to get one?

I have the baskets what is the best way to do prime rib? I'm going to cook one today with just charcoal
