I just bought the same Weber kettle trolley from Amazon- it was a total Ikea flatpack but after about 1hr it was all together with basic tools.
The most difficult part was removing the legs.
It took a couple of hours soaked with Penetrine and a pair of Vice Grips twisting the legs to fee them out as they were corroded due to living on the seaside. The last leg needed a blowtorch, penetrine, vice grips and a large hammer to knock it up and out of it’s fitting.
But that’s 10 years being blown with salt air. So no complaints!
I honestly wish I could post a photo here.
A snappy wipe over and fitting it into the new trolley and the whole setup looks absolutely brand new, plus has a side table and trolley much larger than Weber’s, for a lot less money.
Some features I chose not to even install- the paper towel holder and the trash bin with it’s holder. Others could use them for sure, just not me- they are a bit of a gimmick.
But the kettle fits snugly and with it’s far larger side table, storage rack underneath, lid holder that holds the lid more open for better access, cutlery holder and basket, bottle opener and large wheels, it’s an epic improvement over what Weber and other generic manufacturers can offer.
What a pity I can’t include some photos!
It really is that good.
Thanks for your advice!
That’s awesome! Yeah it sure is a great system, not sure what it cost where you are at but I think it picked it up for $179 and even at $200 it’s a good price for the quality and super handy, plus easy to move around.
Bummer about not being able to post photos but I have been told that RUclips is working on adding this feature to the community section where I post photos on here. I can’t wait for this feature to come in as I would love to see other people’s set ups from around the world!
I’ve got it! Go over to my Facebook page and leave me a photo, with who you are and what city and state/country you are in and I will throw together a post on here in the Community section and start sharing other people’s set ups and call it “Flavor Share”. Give me a couple photos of your set up and a photo of your Favorite Flavorful Dish you like to make. 😎♨️🥩👍
that's probably the best weber video ever made.thanks heaps. You're a great presenter and to the point.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day and writing this comment with such positive words. It’s people like you that make me want to continue the path I’m on. My wife loved hearing me read this to her almost as much as I did! 😎🥩♨️👍
I agree, I have seen many good videos on the kettle, this one is the most comprehensive video I have seen. Great job!
I really appreciate that! 😎🥩👍
Great overview for us Weberites! And, I don't feel near as guilty about my tool addiction after seeing all your gear!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Ha Ha Ha, the difference between men and boys is the price of the toys! I am glad you liked and can appreciate my slight addiction to outdoor cooking! 😎🥩👍
Hands down the BEST Weber tutorial I've ever seen. Greatly appreciate it!
Thank you so very much for your kind words, I’m truly happy you appreciate it! A lot more Flavorful content to come…. I’m just getting started! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith The pizza cooking method looks a little clumsy to me reaching through the door. Can you simply place a grate on the top of the rotisserie attachment and place the stone on top so you have easier access? This would also provide more heat to the top of the pizza and be able to remove it easier. Is this possible?
For sure, it’s a little clumsy through the door. But I played around with it a lot this weekend and when you use the griddle on the top, just below the lid it gives the top of the pizza a nice even cook and only takes about 3 mins for a very decent size full pizza. I’m hoping to do a video on it this weekend as long as it’s not 105 like it was this past weekend! So stay tuned…. I have a great pizza full of flavor! 😎🍕👍
Great video! I recently sold my offset and Kamado Joe to go back to Weber. The simplicity, versatility and mobility is perfect.
Thank you for watching and your kind comment! Yeah, honestly Kettles are hard to beat for a great all around BBQ System. 😎🥩👍
Hey great video heaps of good ideas for the barbie! Well done !! Your big drip tray would make a good paella pan :)
Ha ha ha…. That’s what I used, just cut off the handles. Glad you liked the video! 😎🥩♨️👍
Great presentation on Weber, the under dog. Nice backyard too
Thanks! Yeah the 22 inch Kettle is truly a versatile platform. It’s easy to use, quick to set up and clean up and produces amazing results and is just plan fun to use. 😎♨️🥩👍
Had to move and left my Big Green Egg behind. Not much really low and slow now , so Webber fits my life style better. Thank you for the video.
Well you can still do low and slow with the Webber and some right accessories. Kamado Style Grills like the BIG Green Egg are amazing for sure but you can get a Kamado Style Ceramic Insert for the 22” Weber. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😎🥩♨️👍
I have been using the Weber kettles for over 30 years and I love them. They have one big fault and that is the fire grate where you put your coals. I live in Greece and very few places sell briquets. I use lump charcoal. It burns better and hotter. The problem is half of your fire winds up falling through the grate. The spacing is too large, and it also tends to warp and burn out quickly. They need something like a stainless steel grate with tighter spacing. Myself, I have covered the fire grate with thin fire bricks leaving enough spacing between them for air. Once this gets going it is near perfect. The bricks really hold the heat and if you need to add more charcoal, it lights immediately.
That is very interesting about the selection of charcoal you have in Greece. I did recently see a solution to your problem and I will get it and include it in an upcoming video… it’s a stainless steel coal grate made just for lump coal and has a small square pattern that is much tighter to prevent small coal from falling through. Thank you for watching and taking time to leave a comment for the group! 😎🥩👍
I have taken two fire grates turned 90 degrees to each other, then used hog rings to lash them together. Makes for a much tighter surface.
This was really helpful! I want to scale down and sell 4 BBQs. Thought about buying a Weber Kamado. But I didn't want to miss my WSM. Now I decided to keep my Weber 22". Buy the ceramic insert from OnlyFire together with the big steel smoke chamber. Then I have a ceramic smokey mountain. And as you showed, I can even put a chicken on my rotisserie, with the smoke chamber on top. It's incredible!
Yeah the 22” Kettle has so many amazing options now. Glad you found value out of the video! 😎🥩👍
It’s great to see so many mods in one video!!! Most people show the unboxing of the mod. Then the mod on the kettle. Then ask what do viewers want to see cooked. Then tell everybody how great that last mod was while talking about a new mod that they think would be a game changer!!!! LOL
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and all the toys in it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment! 😎🥩👍
Awesome video. I have a 22-inch kettle and I’m starting to look at different things I can use with it. You explain each item really well. The one question I have is how you would go about adding more coals when you have all those plates and grills on top of them.
I’m glad you liked the video! The 22” kettle is an awesome system for sure! To be honest I have never needed to add more coal as I run a 2x1 Snake of coal around it and it always last as long as I need and way more! But in the event it does then I have my welding gloves and it quickly comes apart and easily done. 😎🥩👍
i have bought all these attachments and love them all just wanting to have a solution for packing them all up and traveling with it any ideas on storage boxs or something to build to carry the webber kettle and all these accessories
I currently use 22” Kettle Waterproof Covers over my Santa Maria grill, then one over my Smoke Chamber that is stacked on top of the rotisserie ring, then all my coal baskets, pizza stuff and all other cooking things I use go on a rolling Prep Cart with shelves in it and it has a cover, then my big grill cart has a cover. I keep my griddle/flat top seasoned and in the garage as it’s Carbon Steal and will rust and I use a Stackable Rolling Tool Cart for all my spices and other cooking things. I have another 22” Kettle not on a cart that I take places. I always know what I will be cooking and just pack what’s needed for that, most often I’m just taking my 180 degree Indirect Coal Basket with built in water trough as I can cook a bunch of different meals with it.
Your question comes at an interesting time though, I have been asked to do events now and have been thinking of a system to pack it all up quick and easy and I am a fabricator/builder as well so it looks like this will be a new project that is needed soon! 😎👍
Terrific video. Thanks for taking the time sir. I've designed and built two smokers. One was great but too big for me. The other wasn't very good/functional. Keep looking to buy this one and that, but there is nothing I cannot do with my Weber, so I just keep looking at others. I might pull the trigger on the S.M. insert though! Thanks again!
Glad you liked it! Oh a fabricator … love it! Take a look at my Video “Why is this purple”, it’s slow and low smoked pork butt and you can see how I set it up for long smoke cooks, you would do the same with brisket and just add more coal to the snake. Hey, it’s not a wood offset smoker but you don’t have to master the art of managing your fire, just your air vents and watching your ambient temp with a wireless thermometer. You will be sold on it, it’s almost a set it and forget it thing, similar to a pellet smoker in that regard. Thanks for watching! 😎🥩👍
Great grilling kit!! I didn’t know about the cart-What a great way to add function to the kettle-Cheers!!
Yeah the cart is handy to have for sure, very functional!
It’s amazing what all this allows you to do ‼️
It truly is…. Really an affordable backyard cooking system!
I wish I would have had those options when I was younger. I've had many weber grills in my life and well worth the money. I have a weber gas grill that is incredible. And a pit boss vertical smoker that is awesome for smoking. Can't lift charcoal anymore. Great video.
Yeah Weber products are pretty darn good for sure. The gas grills are great and as long as the food taste good and you enjoyed the process it doesn’t matter what you grilled it on. Thank you for watching! 😎🥩👍
FANTASTIC VIDEO! LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MY WEBER GRILL. I'VE ALREADY ORDERED SEVERAL ITEMS; CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM!!!!!
It’s a Flavor addiction…watch out! Once you start it’s hard to stop. Honestly I look at it like it’s art, love cooking up great tasty things I, my family and friends enjoy! If you have not done so yet, watch the video I have on controlling temperature, I walk you through how to mark your bottom vent which is really important. Have a blast with it! 😎🥩👍
I own the Onlyfire pizza attachment. Not the one here, but the square one. It doesn't require use on the grill grate, and retains heat better, because it's insulated and the top is low enough to the pizza to allow radiant heat to cook the top of it. The stone is also flush with the bottom on the opening. It also has handles to pick it up to easily add fuel.
Oh very interesting! I did find the clips that came with it that makes the grill flush with bottom opening. Going to try it out with the Griddle at the top in the lid to hopefully provide better heat distribution to the pizza. Might make a video on trying it for the first time soon. Thank for the feedback on your unit, I wish RUclips would let us share photos in the chats.
The ring w/water tray around curve. I built one years ago, but mine has the water on the correct side. (IE: the flat side) It provides a buffer zone between the hot coals and cooking food. (works great btw)
See I thought this one would not work as well, but I tell you what I use this basket at least once a week, most of the time twice a week and to be honest I put meats right to the very edge as I always pack it full when cooking for my family and I really do not get burnt spots. I truly am amazed by this, so much that I decided I don’t need the water trough between and the curved one hold more water anyway. I originally thought it would prove out to be a bad design but it works great! 😎🥩👍
Great video. I do recommend the Weber Wok. Use the standard coal trays or the vortex system ( I do not have) to keep that temp up on the Wok.
Thank you! And thank you for sharing your insights I figured I might invert the vortex upside down, pull the center section off my grill and put a big Wok on that if I cannot locate Weber wok.
Thanks for sharing! 😎🥩👍
Ok you got me hooked. Excellent video. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching, I’m happy you enjoyed it! 😎🥩♨️👍
Grew up in Santa Maria and we use red oak for our tri-tip and serve with Santa Maria style Pinquito beans.
That is awesome! I can’t seem to get my hands on red oak down where I’m at but I’m sure that was great! Thanks for sharing. 😎🥩👍
Great video. I have a Weber 22 master touch, I think you called it. I still haven't quite mastered the fine tuning of the temperature yet, but I think most of my issues have been due to me being a bit impatient when it comes to cooking, and sometimes, regardless of keeping the vents all the way open, my temperature drops prematurely. Oh well. I usually just stick to the basics which is chicken and ribs (NOTHING like chicken on the charcoal grill) but also the normal burgers and sausages and dogs too. I am going to get one of the rotisserie attachments this week, and have been looking at a couple aftermarket companies that make them a bit cheaper than Weber does, and I have seen a few reviews and they look like they are well worth the money. Again, great video and I'm using mine today on this gorgeous Saturday.
So happy you liked the video! If you are having temperature drops and both vents are fully open, more then likely you need more charcoal to start with. Use a Full Size Chimney to start your coal and make sure you fill it up to the top and then some. A full Chimney full should get you through and cook for steaks, burgers and quartered chickens. The only time I start running low on heat using a full chimney is when I use my Santa Maria Grill Conversion and I place all the coals flat across the bottom… blanketing the bottom fully. This spaces them out and they lose their heat the quickest.
I’m actually doing a video this weekend on El Pollo Loco Spinning (Rotisserie) Chicken with Lime Juice Injection this weekend and should have it on the channel in a few days.
Here is the Multi-Purpose Rotisserie System I am currently using and Highly recommend!

I want to say thank you oh so much I came across your video just playing with RUclips I have almost all your accessories gift from My Wife and friends and I really don't know how to use them but you have informed me I am going to give him a try thank you again have a blessed day
Oh that is so great! You are so very welcome, I’m so happy to see you enjoy the Videos! I have lots more coming. Enjoy all your new toys!! 😎🥩👍
Great video MrFlavorsmith! I like how many configurations you have for your Weber Kettle! Great stuff!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! I love this system… looking forward to getting a BIG wok now, then just a lot of great meals! 😎🥩♨️👍
Great video. I’ve been circling the Weber Kettle Grill for a while, but you just sold me on it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great, thanks for watching! Honestly you won’t be disappointed on it, so much can be done with it! I do recommend getting one of the more premium models with the Ash Bucket below; it makes marking your bottom vents opening levels very easy… I did a video showing this recently under Temperature Control. Having the removable ash bucket is just nice to have! Enjoy your new grill! 😎🥩👍
A secondary benefit of using that drip pan with the indirect coal basket is that it blocks a lot of radiant heat that wants to come up from the bottom of your cool zone; therefore, the "cooking" heat is almost all coming up and over from the coal basket. As long as you position the vents over whatever you're cooking, then it'll act similar to an offset with the airflow going up, over, and around what you're cooking. No burning on the bottom! A super-cheap alternative is to just line that side of the coal grate with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Agreed, this is the main reason I use the Drip Pan for indirect cooking when I’m doing Low and Slow smoking as seen in my most recent video “Poor Mans Brisket”. 😎🥩♨️👍
@@MrFlavorsmith Also, marvelous video. The best I've seen on demonstrating the overall versatility of a Weber 22". Much respect!
@pwread thank you so much for the kind comments, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching! 😎🥩♨️👍
Probably the best use of the Weber kettle I’ve seen on RUclips. You done well sir! One question, looking at your links I didn’t see the link for that disfusser plate. I have made one out of a pizza pan but would love to buy one like you are using. Thank you!
Oh you are right…. Give me a minute and I will find the link for you! Thank you for your kind words. Glad it was helpful!
amzn.to/4bD6jBj Here is the link to it. Have a Flavorful day! 😎🥩👍
You just have to cut the two metal handles off. This can be done super easily with a 4” Grinder with a cutoff wheel, or a dremel with a Diamond Blade for cutting metal or even a Metal handsaw. I used a 4” diamond blade on my electric porter cable hand grinder/saw.
Thank you! I subscribed!
@@shanewaldrop1625 that’s great …my family thanks you! 😎🥩♨️👍
Awesome video I really love the cart that will be my next purchase.
Thank you! You will not be disappointed with your purchase on this, I use it multiple times aw week....moving it around the backyard all the time to clean it and position it easily for different cooking backgrounds for my videos. Having the big work surface up top is great as is the bottom storage area! 😎🥩👍
Cool video. I love the versatility of the Weber Kettle. I have an offset, and I still use my kettle 90% of the time for smoking, just because it uses barely any fuel in comparison to the offset. I can load up charcoal in a snake and add chunks for flavor and then not have to mess with fuel for up to 8 hours, where as with the offset I'm messing with it every 30-60 minutes adding splits. Of these mods, I have the vortex and the weber baskets. I would definitely like to get some of those other things like the rotisserie and the griddle. My absolute favorite mod though, is 2 fire bricks. You can get a 6 pack of fire bricks for like $25, and with just 2 of them, you can set up what I like to call adjustable 2 zone cooking. Think of the bricks like hands on a clock. you can put them at 3 and 9 and use half your grill for a hot zone, or put one at 9 and one at 12 and use a quarter of your grill for the hot zone if you are only cooking something small and you don't want to use a ton of fuel. I also set up the end of each brick about a couple inches away from 12:00 and have the other end of one brick touching the grill 9 and the second touching the grill at 3, put a snake of charcoal between the bricks and the wall of the grill, and then foil up the rest of the charcoal grate. It ends up being similar to what you do with the vortex and that big carbon fiber pan. I can really dial in low steady temps that way. Last one I want to mention is getting a second charcoal grate to sit perpendicular and create checkered size holes. This stops your charcoal from falling through until they are almost completely used up. It definitely helps conserve fuel.
Going to have to check out these Fire Bricks for sure! I saw a company that makes a thick stainless steel square coal grate just for this and am trying to hunt them down to get one. To this point I really haven’t needed one but you never know you need something until you no longer have it or until you have tried it. Thank you for the BBQing insights! 😎♨️🥩👍
Right on Tommy! I dig fellow kettle fanatics! Fire bricks are great!
@@BbqMikeGthat’s it, I have to try these! Do you have any you can recommend?
Wonder if two of those onlyfire smoke barrel chambers will stack?
Yeah I think so. I mean I stack the Rotisserie Ring under it sometimes. I would just only do it if the kettle was on sturdy cart like mine, if it’s just on the three legs I don’t feel it would be stable. Would be kind of cool to smoke a bunch of stuff on racks below in a chamber while hanging ribs from the top chamber? 😎🥩♨️👍
I can not wait to get this system and all of the modifications so we can do all of these things at our home!
You are going to love it!
For the Santa Maria attachment for my 22-inch kettle, I sometimes use the lid from my 18-inch Weber as a smoke dome. It fits perfectly. (I have the original SM attachment from Gabby's Grill, but it should fits the Only Fire or Titan version. Some smaller SM grill attachments are too narrow for the lid). I also use a Dongftal cast iron charcoal grate that I obtained from Amazon to better protect the bottom from the heat generated by using wood logs as fuel for traditional tri-tip cooking.
I also have that same table to convert a kettle into a performer so that the grill can better handle the added weight. That table is fantastic. It's as durable as the table on my Weber Performer, and I've had it now for almost 18 months.
That Santa Maria attachment, heavy grate for wood logs, and support table turn the Weber into a perfect grill for making traditional wood-fired paella, as the all-important temp control is simple.
Honestly I love this Grill, I do Santa Maria Style Grilling all the time from it. Your set up sounds awesome! Yeah the cart is truly amazing, I was super impressed with the quality for the price! Thank you for sharing! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith The inverted Vortex with the SM is a brilliant idea. Never thought of that, thanks!
I purchased a Stanbroil stainless griddle but it has a hole in the middle. I think I like the griddle you have as it allows for better airflow. Because I didn't like the airflow, I figured maybe find a griddle that fits my SM attachment. That would allow plenty of airflow and makes it a breeze to add more fuel But the griddle needs to have raised sides. I found the perfect one. Oklahoma Joe's 7577447P04 17 inch griddle is a perfect griddle for the SM attachment.
BTW have you looked at Only Fire's Charcoal Firebox set with ceramic deflector that lines your grill with ceramic bricks basically turning it into a faux ceramic cooker. I'm looking at it. It along with my temp regulators could be a game changer. I mean, I already have a tricked out WSM so it's not that I need another accessory.... But I can't help myself! 😂😂😂
@Nclght agreed, a griddle really does need to have raised sides to work good for almost everything but hey this does work for a lot of things besides rice and noodle stuff. I think having a BIG griddle is awesome especially for a family!
Yes, have that only fire stone system on my radar to get and test out! 😉
This stuff is addictive but as long as we are making good food it’s ok! 😎🥩👍
@MrFlavorsmith Yeah, for the big stuff, I have a 36in and a 22in Blackstone (but make no mistake, I'm definitely team charcoal), and it's just me and the wife 😮. See, I told ya I was nuts. lol. My only hope is trusting the words of the great Mark Twain, "Never regret something that made you smile. "
Ha ha ha….so very true! As long as you use these things and are enjoying the experience, it’s worth every penny! I use gas all the time, nothing wrong with that in anyway. I love the art and the dance of Charcoal, it reminds me of the outdoors and growing up and relaxes me and I love Flavor Stacking wood smoke flavors with other spices and sauces! 😎🥩👍
Using the Spoon as a microphone is super cool. What do you think of a Mr Flavor white square around it as if you were a reporter for AP or one of those.
Be Well
Ha ha ha….so funny you say that! I was wanting to make one just for that! I just have a lot of pokers in the fire right now so those fun little things slip away from me. 😎🥩👍
The only fire pizza/rotisserie should have come with clips to raise the cooking surface to flush with top of the base section. My next purchase is definitely going to be that steal griddle, I really want the onlyfire ceramic kit. Looks amazing
See…. That makes sense and now that you speak of this I totally remember that and know exactly where I put them. My wife just this morning sad we need to make 🍕 right away. Looks like I will be doing that soon. Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, that ceramic kit does look pretty cool, it’s on my list of additions. That and a Wok! 😎🥩👍
So glad I could be of assistance. 👍🏻 Happy cooking bud
Please go into what’s available for the 26”.
Well I will have to get one and start figuring out all the things that will work with it also as soon as I can. 😎🥩👍
The same items are available for 22-26 🤦♂️
@@GTSTWINCAM16great to know! I don’t have a 26” so I was not sure if all the items in my 22” will work on the 26”. 😎🥩👍
Well done my friend, perfect explanation on all of these...listening to you speak, I clearly hear my Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. talking.!!!!
Hey I love this….. Maybe I should run for California Governor and turn this State Around, making it a flavorful one once again! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@MrFlavorsmith Oh definitely...I've always wanted to "Go To California", but it seems it's not as glorious as it once was...If your ever in the sunshine state, hit me up buddy 🤝
Man if like the 22 kettle try the Weber 26 it beats that 22 to hell and back. All accessories work in it too.
I totally agree with you! The 22" is more available globally and there are a lot more on the used market so more people can get started on their flavorful journey with this one. Many more systems will be used on this channel as it grows. 😎🥩👍
Wow! Excellent video and demonstration. Really gave me some ideas. I’m shopping right now for a used Weber kettle but I really like the stand that you have. Do you have a link to it? Great jobMr. flavor Smith!
I’m happy you liked the video. Honestly you are going to love BBQing on a 22” Kettle …. Soooo much you can do with this! This kart is awesome and I was really impressed with the build quality!
amzn.to/3W3YrmE
amzn.to/3zO841z this is the link to the cart… it’s on sale right now for a great deal!
Solution for the pizza stone elevation - companies sell clips that elevate the grill grate so that it's essentially flush with the top lip of the grill bottom. Also, second the recommendation putting the griddle on the top rack of the rotisserie/pizza extension to deflect those flames so they're closer to the top of the pizza. The kettle lid is too tall and you'll likely get uneven cooking between the top/bottom without something like this
Perfecto👌thank you for sharing the clip suggestion and your input on using the griddle for the lid! 😎♨️👍
@@MrFlavorsmithI have the same one and mine came with the grill grate extension clips
I cut a piece of steel to put on top then added some ceramic blanket insulation from amazon on top of that. Worked really well maintaining temps 800 to 900 degrees. Make sure you put some coals under the stone or the bottom crust wo😊n't crisp very well.
@@timothymaggard5029yeah i actually did find the clips that came with it. Going to be using it very soon! 😎🍕👍
@@timothymaggard5029 thank you for the pointer, will definitely remember that! 😎🍕👍
Great video ... love my kettles as well, subbed
Thank you! Yeah they are such a universal bbq system… it’s insane how much you can do with them and very easily! Thank you for Subscribing!!! 😎🥩👍
This is a cool video. I love grilling so it gave me several new ideas.
Awesome…. So happy you enjoyed it and it sparked some new flavorful ideas for you! 😎🥩👍
If I had all that (and I do want) I would need another shed to store it all. 😃
Ha ha, yeah but it is so worth it have it all…. So versatile! 😎🥩👍
Awesome video! I to have been toying around with the notion of this extremely versitile system but have yet to pull the trigger. Where did you get the tray that you use as a heat deflector when smoking?
Thank you… I’m happy you found value in the video! I bought it on Amazon, here is the link: amzn.to/3y60Rcq
It has two steel handles on it that I took a 4” electric cut off saw/grinder to to cut them off but they are not crazy thick so a metal hand saw would work also, or even a heavy tidy Dremel Saw with a Diamond Blade for cutting metal would make quick work of it!
I want to note, Weber does make a system like this as well. Basically it’s a Weber brand Vortex with a Metal Diffuser Pan/Ring around the Vortex. I discovered it from Weber after I made mine. I have not had my hands on Webers version but I do think it’s a lot smaller in Diameter, the 20” pan works really great and so for that reason I prefer my set up. 😎🥩♨️👍
@@MrFlavorsmith Understood, I will look at Weber's, but cash is king.
The Cart is awesome!!!
It truly is a great cart system. I was blown away by the build quality, I have a ton of manufacturing and fabrication in my background and was truly impressed for the low price. And because the sides are coated steal they are magnetic so I used magnetic hooks to hang all my tools, then I got some double sided 20” magnetic bars to hold my griddle tools and when not using it as I griddle…. I just put the hooks back and hang the BBQ tools once again. I really like the wheels also on it and I’m very picky about this area. The BIG wheels are great, and believe it or not the smaller one are as well for my use on my concrete backyard. 😎🥩👍
Love the mic. Very interesting!!
Ha ha… thank you! 🎤 😎🥩👍
Great video. How do you find using the OnlyFire rotisserie and pizza combo ring as a smoking extender? Do you find temps harder to control or have a lot of smoke leakage? I have the same one and have debated on whether to use it with the Onlyfire Ceramic charcoal basket to get the protein further from the ceramic deflector plate.
I have not had an issue holding temps when using snake method for coal and the heat diffuser pan I use with the rotisserie ring. That being said I’m going to get some Heat Seal tape to put on bottom and top of ring and maybe pizza door just to see if there is any difference and it’s maybe even easier but I have been good so far. Thanks for watching 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith I appreciate the reply. I'd love to see a video of you using this configuration when you get the time. I've got the kettle and a WSM18 but I'm not too sure I'll keep that one.
If you are after a video of me smoking using the Rotisserie Ring, Inverted Vortex and that 20” Carbon Steel Pan as a Heat Diffuser….here is one I did for Pulled Pork with a B&B Charcoal Snake 🐍. 😎🥩👍
Very good info!!!!
Thank you, I’m glad you got some value out of it. Thank you for watching! 😎🥩♨️👍
thgis video is insane with information. awesome thx for sharing. OhYeah! keep COOKING!!!!!!!
You are so very welcome! There are many more things coming down the pipeline with this system in future videos! Live A Life Of Flavor!
Big boy transformer for sure!
Hi, did your 20 inch carbon steel heat deflector come with the red handles attached. If so, what did you use to cut them off. Also, do you know how thick the metal is on the deflector? And where did you get the little surgical pan? Thank you. Great video!
Yes, it came with little red handles, I used a 4” electric cut off saw/grinder with a diamond metal cut off blade but an abrasive cut off wheel would work as well. A dremel with a Diamond Metal Cutting blade would work as well…or even a metal cutting blade on a hand saw would work as it’s not that thick.
Here is the link to the 12” stainless steel curved surgical pan I use to hold water: amzn.to/3Ska73K
Thank you very much. I'm concerned about the deflectors thickness. I don't want it to warp.
Oh I see what you mean about it possibly warping. To be honest I think it may be possible if you get a lot of heat on it. I have only ever done a 2x1 Snake Stack as no more is ever needed when using the type of coal I use and the way I stack it. Now it may be possible that it would warp if you use a 2x2 stack or a snake pile that uses more charcoal but the 2x1 has not produced enough heat to warp it, just to change its color. For me…the pan has proven perfect for all my smoking needs thus far. 😎🥩👍
Furthermore, if it did warp at all I don’t feel it would mess anything up unless it wrapped like a noodle and I just don’t feel it would do that.
Thank you very much for your help.
I had no idea half if these accessories existed for this grill. Guess i gotta get my credit card ready
Honestly it’s truly amazing, I compare it to an Ar-15 gun….there are a ton of aftermarket products for these that allow you to build anything you want. I still have many items I’m getting! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith please continue to update us!
I will for sure! 😎🥩👍
Your the man EH. Keep in touch.
Thank you!
Great video. I just picked up the Performer at a garage sale. That last attachment, the smoke barrel, can you attach the cooking grill to the top of that barrel to lay ribs flat rather than hanging?
Thank you! Oh you are going to love that grill! Great question, I am not sure. My guess is yes but I will go throw it on when the sun comes up and see for you. Check back later today. 😎🥩♨️👍
Ok I just confirmed that there are 3 different levels(set of pegs) to rest a grill on inside the Barrel Smoker. 1st at the very bottom just below the opening of the door, 2nd at mid level and 3rd at the top just bellows the inside rim so when you put the hood on the it will hold anything you need. You can make it even better by adding the Onlyfire Rotisserie/Pizza Ring to the top of that and it will give you 1 more rack or just a lot of height for the top rack of the barrel…your performer is a stable enough platform to support all of this but I would not do it on a kettle just using the three legs… only a cart model.
@@MrFlavorsmith thanks for checking. Ordering now 👍🏼
@@J_Cacheit’s a great system, you won’t my be disappointed. Aldo it comes with a bunch of small hooks to hang meats from, they work ok but if you plan on hanging hooks… you might want to get a set of larger ones so you can easily double hook them. Check out my Sweet Dreams Rib video to see this all in action. Enjoy your system! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith it’s arriving on Thursday. Did you season the barrel with oil prior to your first smoke?
Sooo cool!! Love your videos!! So informative 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yay! Thank you!😎🥩👍
You didn’t mention any of the Spider Grill accessories
That is only because I do not currently have their products. I figured most people would just be interested in the basic things that they can get that changes the Grilling Style or helps enhance the basic Grilling/Smoking that can be done on the 22” kettles. I look at the Spider products as more of advanced gear. I think an entire video series will be made of them in the future on the channel. 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith I have one on mine and it is truly a game changer, but that Santa Maria I do not have … bucket list
I will have to get my hands on one soon. Yeah, can’t go wrong with the Santa Maria Grill! Tomorrow I hope to be recording a Wood Fired Pastrami Pizza Video ! 😎🍕👍
When you took off the factory lid bail, with what did you cover the holes?
This is going to blow your mind, I did not plug them yet and am still able to control temps. But I would use tiny threaded bolts, washer and nut to do this. Putting the head on the inside so when you go to clean the inside bowl you don’t get caught up. I just have not needed to even worry about it ever but if I did have issues holding lower temps or maybe even tried to do a Cold Smoke with it… I would have to plug them up. But I have not experienced an issue holding 225f yet so it’s not been hot on my list to do. 😎🥩♨️👍
Thanks!!! @@MrFlavorsmith
@@naamanburgos You are so very welcome! 😎🥩👍
What kind of oil did you use to cure your griddle?
I used grape seed oil to cure/season it. I would put it on a Paper Towel and use Tongs to rub it all around, then take another Clean Paper Towel and remove it quickly and let it cook in good with the hood on for a few minutes. I repeated this process probably close to ten times and it took me a little over 1 hour to do it. I just did the cooking side, I might do the same on the bottom to prevent rust. 😎♨️👍
Who makes the drip pan that you use?
amzn.to/4cA5Tx1 it’s by Slow N Sear.
Yes, yes, yes. I have 2 more to go!!!!
Oh that’s awesome! It’s really fun to play around and cook with all the different configurations available! I’m doing a Slow and Low Poor Man’s Brisket /Chuck Roast tomorrow…two actually. So keep your eyes open for that video later this weekend hopefully! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith Great content. LFG!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching! 😎🥩👍
Great video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😎🥩👍
The performer series has the thermometer. But not always accurate because it measures the air temperature.
Yeah, I never use the Temp Gauge that’s on the lid. Usually I have it over the coal when cooking indirect so it’s useless. I use a wired probe/digital thermometer at grill level next to my meats to read ambient temps and a probe thermometer to measure internal temps. 😎🥩👍
Great video.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it! 😎🥩👍
Whose Santa Maria is that ? Thks
amzn.to/3y1XrHG it’s the Titan. I love this thing, the build quality is amazing… not cheap and flimsy as many others I see. You won’t be disappointed! 😎🥩♨️👍
❤😂🎉 WOW! GOTTA GET ME ONE OF DEEZ! MORE TO FOLLOW = ASAP!
They truly are awesome! 😎🥩👍
Onlyfire should have supplied the clips for the pizza stone mod. They'll raise your grate so that it's flush with the bottom of the pizza door. Also, if you turn your grate upside down, you can more easily add wood or charcoal because the grate flaps are open in the down position. (Bank your fire in the back). No need to remove the lid and lose all your heat. And definitely use the griddle to concentrate the heat over the top of the pizza. The pizza you make will rival any restaurants wood fired pizza!
I did find those clips that came with it. 😉 Thank you for the helpful pointers, I’m going to put it all in play next week. 😎♨️🍕👍
You bet! Loved your video by the way, I have most of those accessories too!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! I love all the stuff you can get for these! 😎🥩♨️👍
Yeah. Enjoyed that. Thanks man. L&S
Oh awesome, glad you liked it! 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmithNo problem. Very informative content. Just got my first weber after years of cheaper alternatives. I have looked at each and every one of these products separately. This content has helped me choose what i need to suit what i want to use my kettle for. Been to SoCal many times. Props from Nottinghamshire UK. keep it up man.
So happy to see it has helped you! Good Grilling buddy! 😎🥩♨️👍
The built in thermometer is only on the master touch Kettle and more expensive models. I bought the master touch myself because it was only$55 more than the premium model which is the one that has the ash can underneath of it there's a baseline model that only has what looks like an upside-down baby moon hubcap. The premium model is the least expensive model with the ash can at $220. $55 more which is the difference in price from the premium model to the master touch I paid $275 for that on Amazon for the black color one all the other colors are $300.25 more. I figured black would show less stains from cooking longer so I got that plus it saved me $25. Anyway for that small difference in price what you get is a built-in thermometer, the grate that you show there with the removable Center and the two hinged sides, taller legs and the two charcoal baskets plus a heat resistant handle on the top vent allowing you to move the vent without getting burnt. The baskets allow you to put your charcoal on the right and left side and do indirect cooking in the centre. You get all of those features for only $55 more. In addition to grate is much thicker than the great on the other models and it's also made from stainless steel I'm speaking of the cooking grate. The grate itself is anywhere from $70 something for the Weber model and for the aftermarket models they are $56. On Amazon. So you see the master touch is a much better value because you get that grate which would cost you more to buy separately and you wouldn't have the built-in thermometer, the charcoal baskets nor the taller legs that you get with the master touch version. It doesn't make much sense to buy the premium model for $55 more you can get all these additional features making it a much better value for your money. I'm 6'1 and I really like the taller legs. I also really like the charcoal biscuits I use them most of the time it really saves on your charcoal and it allows me to do stuff like a 17-hour 20+ pound brisket cook at really low temperature 225° -250°. Get a high temperature self stick gasket on Amazon $15 and apply it to both the Kettle and the top. This allows you to control the temperature with zero fluctuation until the coals burn down. Leave the top vent wide open and control your temperature with the bottom vent. When you can no longer control the temperature with the bottom vent because it's already wide open and it's too cold for the temperature you set it that's when it's time to add some more charcoal. I'm able to set my Kettle at 350° and it holds dead level for 2 hours or more using the charcoal baskets after having applied this self-stick gasket to both sides of my Kettle the top and the bottom. It makes a big difference plus your Kettle totally silent when you open and close it and it also prevents you from accidentally chipping the porcelain by banging it together a little bit too hard when you're opening and closing it. If you chip the porcelain it will begin to rust, especially if you live near salt water. Hope this helps Y'all.
God Bless...
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed information with everyone on the price points and differences in the models, I really appreciate. 😎🥩👍
Plus as an fyi, in the Boy Scouts cooking in cardboard box ovens each one of the king type charcoal bricks is worth about 25 degrees of heat and it still seems to work somewhat for grills if you’re offset roasting.
Thanks for sharing the info!
😎🥩👍
Garage sales 20.00 each for a 22". Yes 20.00 all the time. May not have the premium charcoal catcher. But that can be added. Cheers
Yeah for sure! I do really like the Premium Charcoal Catcher though as I use this all the time and it’s always windy here. Thanks for watching! 😎🥩👍
Would have been good to see a SnakePit in there too! Maybe next time...
I do show the snake method in my temperature control video… a 2x1 B&B Charcoal one 😎🥩👍
@@MrFlavorsmith Not using a SnakePit and diffuser though... ;)
Ah ha, but maybe check out my “Why is this Purple” video? I think I cooked the Pulled Pork with a snake and the diffuser pan?
Cruuuushin!!!!
Thanks buddy! Editing three more as we speak! 😎🥩👍
all that equipment looks great but im sure you better have very deep pockets..
Nah, it’s all very affordable stuff, that’s the reason I chose to use the Weber 22” Kettle Grill to start my channel, I figured it was something all people could relate to….especially if you are on a budget. There are so many companies making accessories/conversions/Modifications for it and most of it is extremely affordable. 😎🥩👍
Nah, I picked the Weber 22 inch kettle to launch my channel for this very reason. I wanted to produce content on a system that everyone can afford so they could be inspired and follow along and create their own Flavorful food. There are tons of companies making extremely affordable accessories for this platform. Just use one of my links in the description and you will see.
Yeah, in the near future I will be cooking on lots of other systems I have but this basically can do it all. Since so many people are into this, you would be amazed on what you can find second hand also on like facebook marketplace used. And not only that, this stuff will work on other 22” kettles from other companies… not just Weber. 😎🥩👍
the Santa Maria grill you linked says its for a 24 inch grill? Weber makes a 22 and a 26?
Ha ha…. That would be a mess up, it’s suppose to be 22”. See, maybe Ai 🤖 would help but Terminator freaked me as a kid! 🤣😂
You are missing the Rotisserie basket LoL
Ha Ha😂🤣😂🤣 yeah, there are like four or five more things I want… once I get them I will do a Part 2 to the video for sure! 😎🥩👍
The attachments like the rotisserie and pizza oven or the Santa Maria are cool, but all the baskets and vortexes are a waste of money and space. They don’t do anything different than gravity and friction already does. You want a vortex effect, just make a pyramid of coals in the middle. Gravity will hold the shape. If you bank the coals on the sides, it does exactly like the baskets, but gravity is free.
Oh you just gave me an idea…. To put it to the test and measure multiple points around the grill with a vortex and a pyramid. The reason I do like the vortex for wings anyway is that it allows the wings and especially the skin of the chicken to get crazy hot and crispy without burning them to char, it directs the heat to the middle…. Pushing the heat up the center and then bouncing off the hood and around down the ring of wings or ribs.😎🥩♨️👍
16:02 two birds one stone? More like 3 birds 1 bbq!
Ha ha … so true! 😎🥩♨️👍
Just put the pizza stone on top of something that raises it up to the correct level.
I actually found the Clips that came with it that raises the grill and stone to a flush level with the opening. I will be making pizza soon! 😎🍕👍
Awesome!
It sure is a great system!
Assuming somebody works for Only Fire.
Ha ha, nah… and bought every item you see myself. Only fire does make a ton of things for your 22” kettle though! 😎🥩♨️👍
Perhaps the Title would be better if it said Weber accessories, as no mods as such, think you would get more views. Would be interesting to see any actual mods
Great content by the way, now I have Gas
Hey thank you for the advice! Right now it’s currently my best performing video but if it slows down I will totally try that. 😉👍
Thank you. Honestly I thought it was one of my worst as I was recording it because it was over 100 degrees 🌡️out and the sun ☀️ was melting me 🥵. It was so hot I had to use my grilling/welding gloves just to handle all the stuff that was just sitting in the sun. So I was rushing and thought it was a mess. In the end I guess it worked out. Hey, I love gas also…. Actually use gas a ton as well, being a dad of two young boys and working all the time gas is nice and quick! 😎🥩♨️👍
@@MrFlavorsmith GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome, what men get when the watch you kettle mod content 🤣
@@SeanByrne-vo1kf 😆G.A.S. I love this acronym !!! Honestly though...why should my two young boys be the only one to have cool toys? The only difference between Men and Boys is the Price of the Toys. 😎🥩👍
"not a big pizza fan" sorry what?!
Ha ha ha…. Yeah the misses said I should cut that out, as I would lose half my subs and not get any new ones. 😂🤣😂🤣 Now I do like a good BBQ chicken pizza slice once in a while. Also, MrsFlavorsmith and JrFlavorsmith told me I have to make them pizzas 🍕 asap, so it’s in the pipeline for vids to do. 😎🍕👍
Thats an expensive drip pan!! Id use that to smash burgers on!!!
I bet it would work great for that as well! I will this, it makes cleaning up my cooks the next day a breeze…especially if I cover it with foil as the burnt parts stick to the foil and all that left is the rendered fats that seep through the foil underneath. Basically have a clean kettle afterwards and ready for the next cook in minutes. But hey, I use this system almost everyday so for me it makes sense. 😎🥩👍
Lid not hood.
See… and there is the issue with not scripting your videos, I’m constantly saying the wrong thing. This video was especially hard as it was reading 105-107 during recording. I told my wife this was probably the worst video yet as I was crazy hot, overheating and rushing everything. 😎🥩👍
Lost me at “not a big fan of pizza”
😂😂🤣😂🤣 my wife said I should have edited that out as it’s politically not correct to say you don’t like 🍕 and that I would lose subs because of it. So I would like to go on the record and redact my statement and change it to…. “I like Pizza, but BBQ meats is my preference.” 😂
@@MrFlavorsmith in all seriousness, I loved the review and set up
eh, too much crap to store. 26" kettle is versatile enough as is.
😂🤣😂🤣….I hear yah, it’s a lot to store, I stack most of it on top of each other and use a 22” Weber Kettle cover for it, then the rest fits on another cart I use that I throw a cover over it. Soon it will all go on a rack of its own in the garage. 😎🥩👍
I wish I got the 26” but for what I do the 22” is perfect
You doing too much🤦🏾♂️
Ha ha …. Never too much! 😉👍
