Hey folks, in all fairness to my offset smoker, watch this video next....this smoker does a great job! The kettle may have won this battle, but the offset makes a killer brisket too! ruclips.net/video/fMGZahTH4bM/видео.html Also, I realized I labeled Cyndi's scorecard incorrectly after I published the video. Her score card should read 1st Place- Unknown Kettle, 2nd Place-Standard Kettle and 3rd Place Offset Smoker.
Great video! A lot of offset smoker videos out there, but most people just have a simple grill in their backyard and these videos are much more applicable.
I love your videos. It’s so great to see someone using a Weber kettle to cook high quality barbecue. I have various smokers and grills but I ve always believed the ribs and pork shoulder off my kettle taste the best. You’ve proved me right with this brisket video. You are a master on the Weber kettle! What a versatile grill. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate your kind words! Weber Kettles do a great job and I enjoy using them! You nailed it….the versatility s unmatched! Thanks again!
G'day Grumpy, mate that was a fantastic test. All three briskets looked beautiful. I had a sneaking suspicion the Weber's would do themselves proud. That Spider Venom will be by next purchase due to the amazing control over temps. BTW we are having a summer storm here in Ballarat Australia. It's been a nice hot summer here so I am out with the BBQ almost every night. Thanks again for the great video. It's very much appreciated with all the work you put into these presentations and it was nice to see your 2 mates with you doing the blind test. There was no hyperbole with the taste test, instead was a very natural and honest opinion from both of them. Thanks again Grumpy and I hope your extended family in Queensland and yourself and your family had a Great Christmas etc.
Thanks Rowan! Always good to hear from you! I’m jealous of your warm weather….you'll see why in my next video. The Spider Venom is such a great tool. I think they are currently sold out. This was a fun video to do and I tried to keep the fluff to a minimum. I certainly appreciate your support and I hope you and your family had a fantastic Christmas and New Year as well!
Thanks for watching! You absolutely can! Whether it's brisket, pork butt, pork belly, beef ribs or any meat that you can low and slow, you can make it great with the kettle! Thanks again!
An idea for the foil boat to try next time. Place the brisket on a cooling rack and wrap it with the rack. This prevents the brisket from sitting in liquid…
I love all the videos of you utilizing the Weber Kettle! Such a neat grill! I’m excited to buy a new Weber Kettle later this year when I get into my new house. Definitely gonna be going back and watching your videos and taking notes!
Congrats on the new house! Thanks for watching and the kind words! I think you’ll love the kettle and make awesome food and memories in your new place! Thanks again!
Great video. I am a weber believer. I got my first kettle about 5 years ago, now i have about 10 and all the wsm smokers. I've only used offsets for 15 years but now because of the flavor and ease of use im selling my prizes Brazos because i haven't used it in 3 years now. Weber is amazing...
Thanks for watching! I agree, Weber is tough to beat! The only downside is the space available. I do some large cooks sometimes and it’s hard fitting 2 butts and I can definitely only fit 1 brisket at a time of course. I have a Brazos and also have the 80 gallon smoker in this video. I could really use a 250 gallon and will probably get one somewhat soon. But again just for the space it provides. The kettle does a fantastic job and I love it! Thanks again!
I’m new to your channel. I definitely subbed. Great to see the kettle briskets get their love. Also, I’m digging that you used the foil boat method for the “Unknown”.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the foil boat…I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with the unknown but I hadn’t done a foil boat yet on my kettle (in a video, I mean) so that’s the route I took. I didn’t want to go to crazy and do something to make it inedible. Turned out great. Thanks for subbing, I really appreciate it!
Great video! I've been making briskets as you made the standard way on the Weber kettle for years. Last summer I bought a cheap offset off Facebook marketplace, as I watch a lot of BBQ videos, and I wanted to give the offset a shot. I like that I can cook a lot more food on the offset; however, I thought that my Weber briskets just taste better! I thought maybe I was doing something wrong on the offset, but this video just showed me that I'm just doing everything right on the kettle! Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Yep, I agree...the offset allows you more space to smoke more food at one time...but the kettle makes as good or even better tasting at times. I love my kettle, just wish I could fit more on there. Instead, I just have a bunch of kettles! Ha! Thanks again!
@@grumpysgreatoutdoorsbbq Ha! More kettles is a great idea! I just need to convince my wife that I need more grills. I have quite the collection. OKJ offset, Weber performer, char broil propane, and a master built electric that I pretty much just use as a holding oven.
I had no idea you could smoke a brisket on a Weber. I recently made my first brisket in my cheap electric smoker and it came out with no bark whatsoever. I've since learned that there isn't enough airflow with my model and thus it's too humid inside the cabinet. I don't have the space or funds for an offset smoker, but I do have a Weber and a slow-n-sear!
Thanks for watching! Absolutely you can smoke a brisket on your Weber! My biggest advice is to leave the top vent open as much as you possibly can to get as much convection as you can. Use the bottom vent to control incoming air and temp. Make sure that the top vent is above the brisket at all times. You will get great bark! Enjoy! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! I love the Spider Grills Venom. It basically turns the kettle into a set it and forget device....so you get the ease of a pellet grill but the smoke of a wood/charcoal smoker. I think they are currently sold out but they usually restock pretty quickly. Just get their newsletter and it will let you know when they are back in stock. Thanks again!
Nice. What type of wood chunks do you use? Does the kettle get hotter when the wood chunks catch fire and burn or does the spider grill fan system keep that in check and keep temps where it is set at? Did you use any tallow in the unknown with the foil boat, or would be to much liquid? One more question, what food warmer do you have for the 12 plus hour rest/hold? Thanks
Great questions! As a general rule, I use post oak for beef and pecan for pork and apple for chicken. Thats just a general rule of thumb for me. I love both oak and pecan and will use both with either protein though. The temp does not spike up when the wood chunk starts to burn...the wood actually really only smolders as the charcoal is only smoldering too. There's not actual flame that ignites the wood. So with or without the Spider Grills device, the temp does not spike.I did not use any tallow with the foil boat. I wanted the fat cap to render even more and I wanted it to get crispy so I didn't use tallow. As for the food warmer, its easier to show you than type it all out. Go to the 27:00 mark of this video and you'll see exactly what it is...ruclips.net/video/3mGE7q5b10c/видео.html Thanks for the great questions!
Thanks for watching and for subscribing! I greatly appreciate it! I think the smoke and sizzle and the slow and sear are very comparable performance wise. The big difference for me is that the smoke and sizzle is much cheaper and it’s only one piece. But I do think they both work very well. Thanks again!
@ok thank you im in Australia so not sure if i can get my hands on one here but your channel is helping me alot as i have recently got a weber kettle coming from a pellet cooker
Thanks for watching. Rolling it away from the brisket helps in 2 ways. First, it gives you a handle to carry it with. Sounds silly, but it is actually helpful. 2nd, it’s just easier to roll it up in areas that might need extra protection (tip of the flat for example) if it’s rolled away. Otherwise you kind of have to dig it out from inside to roll it up. Hope I explained that well. Thanks again!
First, thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear someone comment on the Huntsman. I haven’t heard much about it, review wise. I’d love to try one out. I may bite the bullet in the spring! Thanks again!
Trust me it is worth the investment and it is built like a tank. I have had a huge number of smokers and cookers over the years.And this is by far one of the best that I have ever purchased.💯💪👏
I will die with my kettle. I work at a store that only sells Traeger smokers. Most everyone I work with has one. Don't get me wrong, they're nice and they're really great for set and forget type cooking. But, any time I bring leftovers for lunch. I always have to take extra for people to taste because the smell draws them in. They just can't figure out why mine always tastes better than theirs. They think its just technique and spices. I believe the shape and smaller space makes for a better cook.
Thanks for watching! I’m sure that’s tough working around all those traegers! I don’t own a pellet smoker anymore, but I wouldn’t mind one again just for comparison purposes for videos. Enjoy that fantastic food! Thanks again!

Sir I don’t put my comments on every video that you make (my bad) but I can thank you very much for all your videos. Specially that you do on Weber.❤
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate that you enjoy the Weber videos!

It is very nice to know us back yarders can put out just as good bbq as the expensive rigs as long as we know what we are doing

@@tdtommy196 Dude, I feel you. My excuse of "its for the RUclips channel" has run its course, I'm afraid!

I always enjoy your videos, Mr. Grumpy. All the important details, and no useless B roll. Not naming names here…just sayin’ 😂
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate the support!
Another AMAZING video sir! Thank you! 🙏🔥
Thanks Rob! Glad to see you! Happy New Year!
If you want to comparison done right, have the brisket prepared by someone who uses a Weber kettle.
Thanks for watching!

@@Tsorm-l2j so glad the videos have helped! I think you’ll love the versatility of the kettle!
I’ve wondered what the boat method would render. Why’d you boat the foil away and not towards the brisket? Thanks for the content and comparisons👍🏽
