Its crazy how versatile these really are. I did a brisket using the snake method with chunks of hickory wood interspersed. I got about 10 hrs i think, and had to add a new partial snake, but it worked. had a water pan in the middle. This method you've shown here looks to be far better. this could really work for those 16 hr brisket at 225 to 240f. temps.
I agree! Thanks for Watching!
Thanks Tom. Used my DIY per your instructions on 11/08/2020. Worked like a champ. And yes, 135 briquettes is a little over double 65 briquettes! (1:04) Lol.
Thanks for Watching! Glad it worked out for you! I should not be allowed to perform math in a video... lol!
Good for you Tom,Weber are falling behind the times in their approach to what we really want on our grills . Great home made mod !
Thanks Andrew! I appreciate you Watching!
Man Tom a slightly larger basket and 20 hours cook time that’s amazing!!!! Brisket time!!!
It is! Thanks for Watching!
Thanks Tom, I have had a diy version for some time now. It uses way less charcoal than anything else. Try moving the temp probe around and you will notice how even the temp is everywhere on the grate. Outstanding Mr Horsman, cheers.
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate you Watching!
One of these days I'm going to slow the speed down so I can figure out what you say at the beginning of your videos Tom. Wow, twenty hours on one load of charcoal, I'd call that a win for sure. Thanks Tom.
“How you all doing Folks!” Thanks For Watching Bill!
Welcome back how are you all folks doing an old man (and his grills is usually added 😁)
@@mckeon1960 You hear better than I do, thanks.

I saw you make the deflector plate some time ago. I can't remember the details but 1) it looks good 2) it obviously does the job and 3) I bet it turned out a LOT cheaper than buying a Weber deflector plate, and the same will go for the charcoal ring you made.
Just bought a new Weber Master Touch last week but have not yet fired it up. New garage door being fitted tomorrow. Makes sense to leave the Weber where it is, pristine and untouched, for a few more days before its planned storage space in the garage becomes available to it (obviously we never put the 4 X 4 in the garage....!).
Don't worry - I have other BBQs so the Master Touch will make it seven in total, though two are on their last legs and will "walk the walk" when the Master Touch us up and running.
I have a little Weber Go Anywhere (charcoal) grill which we use when camping/Caravanning, together with a little fan-assisted charcoal Yoga Grill (no lid - small items like burgers, sausages, , cutlets, chicken drumsticks etc only) and a South African LPG Cadac (they love their "brai" and it can be used as a BBQ, a wok, a frying hotplate, a paella dish etc). I have a small table-top size Kamado type BBQ ordered and due to arrive this week, too. The other stuff are just cheap basic charcoal BBQs but they have done their jobs over the last few years. The Cadac is probably 25 years old now, and still fine - but I use it more as a stand for the Weber Go Anywhere grill - when camping/Caravanning (ideal height!), though when I go to Northumberland for 3 weeks at the end of July, I will probably use the Cadac in its own right (for breakfasts).
Anyway - greetings from North Yorkshire.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the walk through of your collection! Pretty darn impressive! Enjoy!
I like that basket. Might be my next accessory for my 22" Performer for sure!
It would work! Thanks for watching!
Very interesting, now I have another project to add to my list.
Easy to do Tim! Thanks for Watching!
Hey Tom I just bought a Weber Jumbo Black 22 inch at Walmart for 32 bucks on clearance!!!
Awesome deal Bart! Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for the update on the mod! 20 hours is really good. I don’t get why they can’t put a probe hole in this model. I have the Weber Summit charcoal system and no probe hole as well. Still a nice grill! Thanks again Tom...
Thanks again for Watching Jay!
I’m going to try this making this. Already raised my Weber from one of your previous videos and worked great! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Tom. Great video! I’m going to watch next how you made the charcoal basket.
Thanks for Watching and subscribing!
Love this mod Tom. I have to go back and watch the build but am so glad you shared this! I’ll bet it would work well for my WSM too! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for Watching Gary! Yes it would!
Like the Weber badge on the lid more than anything
Thanks for Watching Craig! It’s Cool! You are correct!
Very impressive! I'm tempted to build one for my 26er.
It would be awesome for a 26”. Thanks for Watching!
Great tips and demonstration of coal management - going to have to make a defused plate.
Thanks Louis! I appreciate you Watching!
As usual Tom, you are a wealth of info! We cannot wait to get our hands on one (or two!!!!) of these beautiful kettles! Grill on, BBQ friend!!! :)
Thanks Ladies! I appreciate you Watching!
Tom Horsman 🔥💃🏻🔥💃🏻
Thanks Tom I’m gonna build that. Love your channel. So helpful keep it up bud.👍
Thanks for Watching!
Tom, well done! Very creative and economical mod. Thanks!
Thanks for Watching Matthew!
Tom Horsman would you be able to do a cook with the SnS in a WSM? I have a 22” WSM with a mod to fit a grate 5-6” below the top grate. I’m currently using charcoal baskets to grill on it and I’m wondering if the SNS is a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks. BTW I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks for watching! I know this is hard to believe but I currently don’t have a WSM!
Tom Horsman unbelievable!!! 😎 so what I have learned is that the WSM does a better job as a smoker than a kettle, which one might expect. Perhaps one of your followers might be able to enlighten me on how the WSM would compare to a kettle/SnS combo. My hunch is that there would be only a marginal difference.
Hi Tom. I use the old Weber wok (stainless steel) along with the fire ring from smoke ez . Works great. Unfortunately they don’t sell that wok anymore.
Thanks for Watching! Thanks for the info!
Ordinary steel wok work great to
It's like you read my mind. I was wondering how to make one of these and now I think I'll do it. After I've made my side table from a bamboo chopping board and stainless steel pole.
Nice! Thanks for Watching Shaun!
Awesome Tom. It might be worth mentioning slowhand at woodshed bbq sells similar items for the not so handy ( me ). Not sure of cost but another alternative.
Good Point! It would be worth mentioning...Thanks for Watching!
Heck yeah Tom it works great. Nicely done
Thanks Mike!
Great videos & reviews! Looking for your DIY diffuser & basket..

Just more evidence and undeniable proof that Tom Horseman is a genius!
Thanks for Watching Big Lew!
I have an extra charcoal Ring that's taller than a normal one on a WSM, gonna try this with 20" pizza pan's on My 26", gonna love the extra space
Thanks for watching!
Great ideas Tom
Thanks for watching Joe!
Hey Tom! Very Impressive! A full sized basket with a large heat deflector increased the capacity of the kettle, who wouldn't want that!
There are a lot of us out here that have been doing this very thing.......it's the way to go! Now if only Weber will add a stoker port on it's next generation
of this kettle? 😁 \m/
A stoker port and a probe hole and a side shelf... we can keep on dreaming Ken! Thanks for Watching!
SNS !
That's awesome! And thanks for the link yesterday!!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great vid. I recently discovered this was a thing after seeing a new Master Touch Premium in the store. I got excited to use the Weber version for my kettle and the parts still aren't easy to buy. Love the DIY version.
Cleaning the ashes off the vents seems like a big negative. After seeing all the dust come out I can only imagine that gets on the food inside. Would have to remove the food while doing that. Perhaps a mesh on the bottom grate could hold that back.
Just looking at alternatives vs my 22" WSM. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for Watching!
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Some guy on reddit in a forum I'm not even subscribed to recommended your vid. Checking out your Kettle series now.
Wow! Appreciate the feedback
Awesome Weber kettle mod. I'm in!
Thanks Tom! I appreciate you watching!
Really nice. Just watched both videos. This is a mod i really like :)
Thanks Lasse! I appreciate that!
For 35 dollars I got Slowhand’s on Etsy. It’s actually wider...the charcoal grate fits inside, and is about 4 inches tall. I use a pretty heavy gauge 19 inch pizza pan with a 1 inch tall lip, so I can put water in it and catch drippings like a WSM. It clears the cooking grate by about 3/4 inches. I haven’t counted the amount of briquettes but I’m guessing it’s a little bit more you can fit in your DIY one. He actually makes a kit that lifts the cooking grate flush with the top so you can really pack in the charcoal or put a taller drip pan, etc.
Thanks for Watching! I just left the video link to Greg at Slowhand. You’re the second one to mention that. Thanks for Watching and for commenting,
Where did you get a 19” pizza pan with a 1” tall lip?
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Amazon. American Metalcraft HA4019 HA4000... www.amazon.com/dp/B0055Y14OM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ it’s a really good solid pan. I thought it might be flimsy because of its size but it’s not. I just foil it criss cross both top and bottom to make cleanup easier. Grease/water still gets through as the foil is only about 16 inches wide so liquid still snakes under it but the pan remains very clean and easy to maintain with the foil.
Ok... but where did you buy it at?
Mate, you are a legend. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words! Thanks
Impressive Tom Now you have to show video to create smoke 💨 setting on regular kettle. I think those are needed or the ash chokes out fire 🔥 on long cooks. You should have thrown a 8lb butt on. Great mods Great Video.
Thanks John! I appreciate you Watching!
This was very helpful, thanks Tom!
Thanks for watching Dash!
I was wondering, finally part 2

Very good job. I have a 26" Web. and have been forced to do many mods on my own because of nether Web. or others care to cater to the 26" mod. Thanks. I do love my Web. tho.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and nice work.. Looks amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Tom, do you have a link or item number for the ring? I have the 22.5 performer. The pizza pan is “easy” to find. I am getting into longer cooks, and this looks like something I could definitely put together. I appreciate the awesome videos you put out!
Thanks for Watching! In the assembly video I show the product used. ruclips.net/video/QdeNRoUPPIc/видео.html
That’s awesome! Thanks Tom!
Thanks!
I am curious on why you decided on 3 layers as the Weber has only one? Thanks for all your great videos.
Thanks for Watching! The Weber has 2 the top and the bottom 2 different pieces. I went with 3 for stability and less change to warp. So far so good no warpage.
Great job. Really makes you wonder about Weber’s thinking sometimes. No probe hole??
I agree! Thanks for Watching!
Nice test brother, My basket and diffuser in my 26" really kicks butt! I saved so much money on charcoal this year because of it. I did get warping in my pizza pans so I put a 16in pizza stone inbetween the 2 and bolted them together, works awesome, Cheers!
Thanks Rob! Yup that why I got the old Smokey charcoal grate in between, creates an air gap and strengths it
Got a question. If you cook a brisket with your setup, looks like no room for a pan to catch the drippings. When you clean out the grill after the cook, is the pizza pan full of grease to the point it’s hard to take out without spilling grease everywhere?
Thanks for Watching! There is room to put a disposable aluminum tray to catch the drippings
You should sale these. People would totally buy them because not all individuals have the equipment or even the desire to go through the motions.
If I had the time... Thanks for Watching!
Tom, thanks so much for all your work ! I , too wonder about the Weber designers? I was expecting big things from their new pellet grill this year, and it flopped ! This mod is fantastic , even if Weber sold it, they would charge 10 times what it can be made for as you have shown ! I am a huge Weber fan , but they need to step up their game, or they are going to be left behind ! JMO
Thanks Jeff! I agree!
Wanted to see how you made the basket and where
Thanks for watching! Here’s the link…ruclips.net/video/cakD2ZccVbs/видео.html. Here’s another source. American made…ruclips.net/video/DBcn0ZGqvqU/видео.html
Great job
Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for the video, good test run. Do you happen to know if the WSM Charcoal Chamber for the 22.5 size would work? Part #63008 - 4.75"H X 14.25"W X 14.25"D
Thanks for Watching, You should measure the height to make sure 4.75" sounds a little high
Do you think those pizza pans can take a high heat cook with coals directly under them? Maybe up to or over 500 degrees?
Thanks for Watching! Most likely not over time they will most likely burn through
It's bizarre they don't sell this for Weber Kettles. I can't find it anywhere in the US.
Thanks for Watching Rick!
Is it better to start this with a firestarter or a chimney? Reason I ask is I cook hot and fast and it I usually start a chimney to help start it but it seems to smoke for almost over an hour before calming down. What would you recommend? Thanks
Thanks for Watching! Either or with work. Sound like you prefer a chimney as opposed to a startet
Hey Tom , do you know what years that they made that master touch with the hinge
Thanks for Watching! Not really sure, thinking 2019 or 2020
Do you have a link to your mods of the diffuser and the charcoal ring? Thanks.
Thanks for Watching Tim! Here you go! ruclips.net/video/QdeNRoUPPIc/видео.html
Looked for instructions for the plate and charcoal basket can't find it
Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/QdeNRoUPPIc/видео.html
This is awesome. Thanks for the info. What’s the clearance between the pizza pan and the cooking grate? Are you able to put a tray beneath to catch drippings? What are your thoughts? This may save my wallet a butt load. No pun
Thanks for watching Daniel! A shallow pan will work
Great video Tom as always. Can you give me dimensions on the grate and is that 2 pie pans bolted together? Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks for Watching Bill! Not sure which grate you are referring to the to Bill the Pizza pans are 18”
Hi Tom.
Do you still use this? Impressive results
Thanks for Watching! Yes I still have it! Been a while though…. Need to pull it out and cook on it soon!
What is the diameter of the charcoal ring? Wondering if the diffuser plate would fit in the deeper smokey mountain ring for a longer burn?
Thanks for Watching! 18”
Thats brilliant! It won't take weber long to realise their losing out and start selling it separately.
One question tho how did you get your weber sealed so tight my master touch bleeds smoke around the rim and I've adjusted the back twice now with no luck. Cheers
I hope so! Thanks for Watching Tom!
Just buy a grill gasket from Amazon. Around $10 for about 15ft roll. Enough for 2 grills. Clean the edge of your lid with some metal scrubber and stick it on! Super easy! Gl
What is the height and diameter of the char-ring?
What is the diameter of the diffuser plate?
Anyone in the US try to order these yet? seems like they are only available with the purchase of the Master Touch Premium 22".
Thanks for watching Bill! They are only available with the purchase of the Master Touch Premium.
Great video of great mod.
Thanks Harry! I appreciate you Watching!
Can you add the Amazon links in the description for the mods? Great video!
Thanks for Watching, I believe I did for the 18" pizza pans, The perforated metal for the basket was from the hardware store, not sure if thats available on Amazon
So you bought the gasket and side tray from S & S?
Thanks for Watching ! The side table from S & S and the gasket from Amazon
Great video! Thx! Will do same thing for my Master Touch. But what gasket you used for it?
Thanks for watching 1/8” x 1/2” Fire black from Amazon

Where can I find the video of how you built the charcoal basket?

Okay so I got myself a ring and diffuser plate for the kettle. This is my second time using it and the kettle took more than 2 hours to get to temp. This also happen the first time. What on earth am I doing wrong? Cant get this thing lit! Advice will be greatly appreciated. Today i aborted the charcoal ring, but im gonna be eating late! 😂
Thanks for watching! Vent settings? Type of charcoal? How and where are you lighting charcoal?
@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ vent settings wide open. Charcoal is BnB briquettes lighting about 10 in chimney and putting the ashed over briquettes in the middle of the ring. I need to light more briquettes don't I 😳
It doesn’t make sense to me… I put 4 b n b in the middle use a torch to light, surround it with 3 wood chunks and more b n b leave both vent wide open and within 20-30 minutes I’m turning top vent to 2/3 to 1/2 and works fine.
@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Thanks for the replies, Tom. Doesn't make sense to me either. It's very frustrating! I store my charcoal inside, so the humidity excuse isn't there. The abort the charcoal ring plan worked. Working great now. Dinner will be worth the wait, and my learning curve for the kettle is that much stronger! Thanks Tom
Where did you get the table/shelf?
Thanks for Watching Chris S & S grills. ruclips.net/video/nVu9mNHA_eg/видео.html

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
tom your thoughts on using your charcoal basket with a temp control device.
I think it would work awesome with either basket! Thanks for watching!
You may well have cost Weber a bucks if they ever decide to sell those parts separately. Even still really good mod thanks.

@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ ok. One last thing; would still use the Old Smoky insert?
Yes I would
Great video. Do you have some info on the gasket? Can I use it on a previous Master Touch, without the hinge?
Thanks for Watching! Yes you can ! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TAJW0QE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Links? I left all the info in the comments. Thanks for watching!
I have a 18 inch weber kettle. What size charcoal chamber and pizza pan would I need to do this a 14 inch?
Thanks for Watching! I’m not sure,, I don’t have an 18” Weber kettle. You should size it so the diffuser has about an inch clearance to the side of the grill. The basket should be sized so it doesn’t touch the grill grate, about a 1/2” clearance will work
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Thank you for the help. Will do.
Thanks again for Watching!
Curious if you have room for a water pan between grate and deflector
Thanks for Watching! In the video where I built it I showed that I have the second pizza pan up so it can hold water, not much room left over for a water pan
I appreciate your time and help! Keep the mods coming!
When you drill the hole for the temp probe will you put a silicone grommet in it?

Use a lamp nipple instead. Been using them for years with no issues
