- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- 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!

Many years ago - circa 2011 I was part "inventor" of the Thunderpit BBQ accessory. Stainless Steel ring with handles and a second grate on the top. Tried to take it to market - just wasn't to be. Still have mine out of the 5 original prototypes that we started out with though.
@@rhardin3269 hey now… that’s awesome for sure.. shows I’m
Not crazy. Ahhaha. That’s really neat.
You basically modified the Weber kettle into a Weber smokey mountain. I have a smokey mountain. I love it.
Agreed..😂
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.
Great hack. So much more room for activities. I’ll definitely add water pans on the bottom rack.
Long Live the Webber Kettle
Awesome stuff Neal! This definitely makes cooks much better. Thanks for sharing! Cheers brother 🍻
The OnlyFire rotisserie ring already comes with the tabs for the grates and is way cheaper than the Weber rotisserie.
ty...ill check it out...
I have the rotisserie and pizza oven version. Love it
@@890mikes I use mine with the OnlyFire heat diverter and Weber rib rack. Been able to do 6 racks of ribs on my 22"
Really cool hack, and the roast looks great!
Brilliant hack!! Thank you so much, I'm sure this will solve a lot of my issues! Been cooking too hot & fast LOL
I already have the rotisserie ring and the bolts and nuts. Just need to pickup another grill grate.
Thanks for posting this hack. That's why you are the King.
@@stevegarland3387 that’s awesome … it’s a really nice set up
Looks good!
Can do pretty much the same thing with my 22" Weber Smokey Mountain. Love that smoker. Been having fun with it for a dozen years. Was cool video. Thanx
Nice hack and the chuck roast looks delicious!🤤🤤
Thanks bud
And great video lol!
I like that will be trying it 😂
So you created a weber smokey mountain. 😂
not even close...had one...big differences
I did the same thing too. But I made my own char ring and bought a ceramic defector plate out a Kamato. I put the plate on top of the char ring and you get that even radiant heat too. Works really well.
Hey thats a fantastic idea...thanks for sharing...
YES! I've been doing this for about 5 Years.
Heck yeah...awesome....when one has a 22in kettle...its hard to beat this set up...I wish they would sell an option for this..
Love the hack idea! Chuck roast or poor man’s brisket is delicious! I remember that snap shot of when you hit that 1000 subscribers. Seems like yesterday. Love the growth in channels and of course the food y’all s cook, sharing recipes, ideas, tips….looking forward to that comparison video Neal! Cheers my friend!
Thanks Jay...original og...
@@PelletsandPitsenjoyed the show with Tommy last night!
This is awesome! I’m only a few minutes into this cook, but I have done this with my rotessire ring many times! The only fire has the tabs already there!
This is essentially a kettle converted into a WSM, the nice thing with the only fire roterrise/pizza ring is you can close off the spit holes
Love that shirt! 😂
TY
Love it! I've got 4 22" and 1 26" Weber kettles. I also have that raised "half moon" grill that came with some of the Master Touch models. 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.
right there with ya....i do have some grips...and thats one...the metal vent on top gets to hot to use fingers to turn....
I got the Aura Kettle Zone System and a Tip Top Temp a few years ago and they work great together.
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!
Heck yeah...
New sub here in Australia brother
Awesome thank you! Definitely appreciate the support
So basically a homemade WSM. 😂 I use a 18" WSM, but also have a 22" Kettle. I can see the usefullness of this if you don't want to get a seperate WSM. This hack is similar to people who do the tamale pot conversion to turn Little Joe into a 14" WSM.
Try it with just w sauce as binder and spg. You will be suprised how good that is. One of my hacks instead of the Rotisserie I sometimes put the 22" smokey mountain center, or I put both on.
Have done this set up with a piece of sheet metal formed the shape some bolts for a fraction of the price compared to purchasing the rotisserie
I have pretty much identical set up on my napoleon and it works great! The temperature is much more stable with less swings due to bigger grill volume.
Very cool!
I did not know these extensions existed, thanks for the hack which basically recreates a smoker like the old vertical one I used years ago. Now, I have a green Weber 22" Kettle, will the extension work on it? 😉😁😝
it should work on any 22in weber...
This is a great hack. I do smoke with my weber kettle but my biggest challenge is the food being too close to the heat source (even when cooking indirect). I never considered using the rotisserie attachment specifically to raise the cooking area for any cook. NIcely done!
Absolutely....
Great hack…I have a Performer and the rotisserie ring, what’s the measurement for drilling the holes for the 4 bolts. Again great job, love your content. AND Go Navy, I’m a 22 year veteran… poked holes in the ocean on subs. (Radioman)
I would say roughly 3in down...just to give enough space to give a lip inside...this helps the food not just slide off
Nice. Finally I'll get some use out of my ring. Cover the hole with foil tape.
Absolutely...cheers
You must have filmed this on Friday.
Great idea, never thought of it. What’s the ballpark bolt placement? Couple of inches from the top?
Yes...just low enough to give you a lip...so when you move food...it doesn't fall right off...
My wife and I have been enjoying your content since last year. Well done (or med rare) and keep em coming :) I'm starting to us my 22" a bit more in my rotation and this IS a game changer.
Did you find your wooden cutting block on Amazon?
which one exactly are you asking about...the logo one...the big one on my tool box...
The one you're slicing on in this video. It has the hand grab on one corner. It probably looks bigger on screen than it is but it's nice.
That's a great idea. What's your opinion on using lump charcoal? I've started using that lately until someone stole my grill time to upgrade I guess
Absolutely ...I personally think they have pros and cons...depending on what your cooking....long cooks i like the briquettes...because the size..it helps the temp swings...but lump for med cooks about 3 hours...and for hot cooks....
That is a great hack. Is the all purpose rub the same as the Texas style rub on the website? Thanks.
Yes, exactly
Kroger got $2.99 pound brisket right now….. chuck looks delicious I gotta try that
Love the idea great hack... but Cajun Bandit sells the ring for two racks setup
unless im crazy...I didnt see anyting..
I do the same with my risers. I seal the gaps with fender washers. Someone needs to make reasonable priced kits to seal the rotisserie spit holes.
100 agree..
@@PelletsandPitsSpitfire grilling makes some nice plugs for 19.15 each. My Cajun Bandit rotisserie ring has 4 holes because it is reversible to fit on my WSM. That is why is decided to use stainless risers.
Good stuff indeed , but isn't this the reason we have the Weber Smokie Mountain , set it and forget it ? 👍🙏
Absolutely...I didnt have one...so when I bought the performer...i wanted the rotisserie....once i had that....why buy another grill four screws and another grate...good to go...
I have the jalapeno popper stuffed bacon wrapped meatloaf on the Pitt Boss as we speak!11
Awesome
She gets it. That's cool. Lovin' the enthusiasm from both of you.
how much charcoal did you use bag wise?
Depends on what your cooking and what temp...this chuck roast took about a 1/4 bag total ....threw some wood in there as well
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. 👍🔥🍻
hahhaa I hear ya....ill check it out...
So it's a WSM or a UDS essentially.
yeah its similar for sure.
That looks like a KETTLE DRUM GRILL
So where do we get the shirt.
theflattopking.com/
@pelletsandpits I didn’t see that particular shirt. I’ll go and look again. Thank you.
@@Draft2win wait… I wore two of them. I was thinking the blue one.. are you asking about the charcoal king one.
@@PelletsandPits yes sir.
@@Draft2win that’s something we don’t seek anymore Hahaah. Once the name changed we switched it all.. maybe my first pellet and pits shirt???
Soooo my question is... 26" weber or 22"?
100 26 in grill...just allows for more space away from the heat....
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.
I also use a WSM as my main grill. Just broke in a 22" kettle, this hack just reminds me of a WSM.
@@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
@@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.
Good hack if you have a Weber already, otherwise you can buy a Napolean Pro Kettle with 3 different level adjustments built in.
cheap knock off of a wsm lol thanks for sharing good hack
Thanks bud....
Your still mad about that tri tip lol
My enemy...
Going to try this since it's a waste for me to do a brisket. That really looks great, Thanks for sharing with us Neil and Amy, keep up the great recipes and the fun you all share. Fred.
Hope you enjoy bud...i know we did...
I will do you one better, have you heard of this all in 1 attachment from house of BBQ. The game has changed. Love you videos especially weber
I have not...
Come on man! That backyard is too big! Get a pool! I know she wants one!
hahha we honestly have talked seriesly about one...maybe not this house....
Kamado Joe stole your hack. It was their kettle Joe. They didn’t market it well and tried to sell it for too much. I luckily got one for 1/2 price and it works great.
I finally decided to pull the trigger on a MasterBuild Gravity Series Xt . Thanks for the ride along watching Neal cook and his tips and tricks videos!
Hey thats awesome bud...keep us posted on how you like it...
Why not just get a Smokey Mountain so you don't have to mod? 😅
I swear by the Slow N Sear, but I have an SnS Kamado so it's even better.
thats like saying why just buy the Summit Kamado..haaahah because most have a kettle...
@@PelletsandPits 22" Smokey Mountain is like $549. The newest Summit Kamado costs more than like 4 or 5 other Weber charcoal grills put together lol
I just bought another 22" weber and will definitely be getting the rotisserie... I already bought the cast iron grate for it so I have two grates... plus I love to rotisserie foods...
Sounds great! really does help...
I like your hack but it would be far more efficient if you’d fabricate something to seal off the rotisserie holes AND seal the new body connection. I use 2-22” Webers and 1-26” and all have been equipped for 4 years with Fireboard monitoring & blower systems which turns them all into smoking & baking monsters!!
although I agree...I cant fabricate anything hahaha...
@@PelletsandPits That hi-temp muffler tape would be a good start on knocking back the extra air intake.
@@SeldomFales absolutely ....thats definitely above my paygrade...what else could we do
I will be buying nuts, bolts and another grate soon. As Tom Horsmans says “will this void the warranty? You bets ya! Love my kettle! Thanks.
hahahaha
Love both of your channels and a long time subscriber! For the love of God, please mature your thumbnails from cringe background surprised faces and don't use the word 'Hack'. Thank you!
Lame
@@rml3wood ahhahaa and yet you commented… lame
