  • Smoke Meat with your Weber Kettle - EASY SETUP!
    WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE:
    - Weber Kettle Grill - weberinc.sjv.io/QyjyWa
    - BBQ Gloves - bit.ly/H2Q_BBQGloves
    You don’t have to have a big, expensive smoker in order to produce some good smoked meat and barbecue. All you need is a weber kettle - or any good charcoal grill - and a little know-how.
    To convert your charcoal grill into a smoker you don’t need much. I use a ½ size aluminum pan, a chimney of hot coals and a few, small pieces of wood.
    To start, you first place a ½ size aluminum pan on one side of your grill. This will be your cool zone - and it’s where you will place the meat you want to smoke. Then you can fill the other side with your hot coals and wood to create your hot zone.
    Now you’ve got everything set-up to smoke on your charcoal grill. I’m using a weber kettle and it’s one of my favorite grills I own - it’s very versatile.
    Once you get your coals and wood in your grill and you’re ready to smoke some barbecue or BBQ, you need to set both your top and bottom vents to be open about 25%. You want a little airflow, but you don’t want too much or your fire will burn hotter and you won’t be smoking your meat at a low n’ slow temp.
    Now that your charcoal grill is set for smoking, all you have to do it put your meat on and monitor the internal temp.
    With this set up you can smoke just about anything on the Weber as long as it fits on the rack above the drip pan.

    Malcolm doesn't note this, but notice he puts the lid vent over the cool side of the rack. This will help the smoking method as the smoke will need to cross over the meat to exit the lid.

    This is the method my dad taught me back when I was a kid in the 80's.
    ...those hinged grates are nice. Back in the day, I had to lift the grate off with welding gloves while my dad threw in more charcoal or wood.
    The Weber Kettle might be the most versatile cook system mankind has ever created.

    Awesome video, this was exactly what we needed to convert our Weber grill into a smoker! Worked great for ribs on Father’s Day!! I’m also so glad I caught your video on controlling temperature, because our internal temp was flying from 300 to 400F but thanks to you we managed to figure out how to maintain it closer to 300F for a majority of the 3 hours, and we needed to re-add coals once.

    Hey Malcom. Not everyone has the option to do this, but thought you and a few might. For years now. If I want to get my charcoal rolling quick, I fill up my chimney and crank up my fish/turkey fryer burner on high and set my chimney on there. 5 minutes and the coals are rollin red. 👍🇺🇸🍺👊

    I'm a first time viewer and I like this guys style already. I just bought my first smoker and I can use some simple common sense guidelines like this. I truly don't expect to ever become a fancy cook. I don't like to over complicate things. The KISS phrase often works for me. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. That advice is strictly for myself. The quicker and easier I can get my dinner the better. That's not saying I want to settle for bad cooking. I just want to keep the entire process refined and uncomplicated. Thanks for the great video.
