    Man this was so good! Several times in the video I found myself nodding and going "that's right". When I first got my Weber Kettle I already knew there were tons of accessories out there. But I vowed not to amass a bunch of "stuff" and instead just focus on learning the basic skills.
    I think the first accessory I bought was a wireless thermometer. All it did was make me obsess over small variations in temp that really didn't matter. But then we decided to take the whole house down to the studs and renovate. Long story short I put my wireless thermometer in storage. And I never missed it! Haven't used it since. And I love the point you made about having some gadget that does everything for you, keeps the temp in a certain range. I have one of those; it's called an oven, lol! Making those little adjustments is just a part of grilling and smoking to me.
    Nice work brother!

      A twisted paper towel with a little olive oil on it. You don't need to waste money on fire starters. Twist a section of paper towel and bend it in half long way, stick it into your grill grate and add a bit of olive oil. You probably always have those on hand. Try it

    I found this site while researching the Gridle Kettle-Q. I have had it in my cart for months and decided I needed to fish or cut bait. I, like you, and probably most people here, have many accessories I don't ever use and many of them were expensive! My only disagreement was the temperature controller. I use mine for overnight brisket cooks and love it. But for this purchase I've been considering, I'll say thanks for helping me with my decision. I'll choose to fish another day!

    Hey Johnny nice video. So far the only thing I wouldn't ever buy again is the Chargriller charcoal chimney with the bottom that opens up. I've bought 3 of them thinking that the last one was just flawed but they all are. I get 3-4 uses out of them then the bottom starts to fall clear out and you always have to put the stupid thing back together. So I just wired mine shut. Now I just use it for a single serving grill, it works great for that. I agree if you don't reach for it don't buy it. Have a great weekend brother.

    I use my drip n griddle every time I use my kettle. You mention a couple of things I had to chuckle about- buy a cheap drip pan AND a cast iron pan to replace the drip n griddle. Also, there are several flavors of that unit, including a $30 or $40 version. Since you made this video, there’s even a cast iron version. The way that you use it, I agree, the deluxe isn’t worth $90. Sort of like daily driving a Porsche.

    • @Viewtoagrill
      @Viewtoagrill  3 года назад +2

      Hello Jody. Thanks for watching. The drip and griddle pan for me is not worth the 90 bucks, I just think it is over priced for what it is. I think it is made out of nice material. It's just not for me... even though I bought one. The cast iron one is a little less and may be worth the price for cooking over the slow n sear. Tom Horseman already has a video up of himself using it... not sure if you have seen that video... Tom has a great channel and a lot of BBQ toys. Take care Jody, I appreciate you coming by.

    I ended up giving away the SNS drip pan due to the same reasons you mentioned. Plus, grease always found a way under the foil that I covered this pan with. I found that just putting foil alone where the SNS drip pan would be was the easiest way to do it. When the cook is over, I just roll up the foil and throw it away. As for the Weber hub, I have no experience. I did have the Weber iGrill, and once again, I gave it away because it doesn't have an option to calibrate the probes. I went with the ThermoWorks Smoke which can be calibrated and haven't looked back. As for the BBQ guru, I also have one and, like you, I don't use it. I just got used to adjusting the vents on my Weber kettle or WSMs and that's the easiest approach for me.

    I do use tumble weed starters, but only when I run out of Webbers cubes. No such thing as to many starters,never get caught without. Wow, that pan costs $80 ! I just use disposable aluminum pans. Deeper so they can hold more water/ juices for making kick ass gravies. I'm really liking my Fireboard 2 thermometer fire controller. Last thing I'm saying on this episode. You did well having a video about what you WOULDN'T buy again. That shows honesty and integrity. And you did a great job of not throwing the company's under the bus. ( $80 for that pan?

    "It takes all the fun of out BBQ". Man, I understand where you're coming from. I bought the QMaster Senior about 5 years ago and have used it a few times. There's something satisfying about dialing in the temperature yourself. I might bring out the controller when I need to leave the house for an extended period of time. But otherwise, I don't think it's necessary.

    I kinda like the tumbleweeds better than the Weber cubes because they're less mess with all those wax crumbs. They're also a little bigger for starting campfires. But I agree on the drip n griddle. It just sits in the bottom of my grill and I have to clean it. Once I dropped it greasy, tried to catch it on the way down and it sliced my finger open. Would it have killed them to grind or sand the edges smooth? Love my SNS though. I just got an inkbird 6XS bundle with their instant read on Prime Day and love it. Replaced a broken ThermPro. Good videos man. Keep it up.

    Hey Johnny, thanks for a great channel. 👍
    The SNS drip pan is over priced, I'll grant you. But, I love mine. Fits perfect and cleans up easily. Already spent the $$ for it, so.....I'll enjoy using it.
    The Slow n Sear?.....love it. Lots of snob haters out there bragging they don't need it and it's foolish to use it. Well, enjoy your hate, haters, I'll enjoy the convenience of using mine. Oh yeah, another feature of the Slow n Sear, it makes it sooo easy to reuse unspent charcoal from the previous cook. Just shake it and add new charcoals. Leaned that from one of your 'Hot as Hell' video.
    Appreciate your relaxed attitude about BBQ'n. That's what it all about. Right on, bro. 🍺

I have a video where I show how to use the Weber baskets and you can easily get by without the SnS… but I think once you get an SnS… you will rarely go back to the baskets if ever. The SnS makes everything about bbq/grilling in the Weber kettle so much easier.

    I just re watched this. You are right about the control fans like the Guru. I have one by another brand, and named Billows. It works great but it’s boring.
    I use it if I have to have an overnight cook and sleep at the same time, or if I have leave, such as cook something while I’m at work. However, to use it while I’m home and barbecuing something, is boring. It takes all the the fun out of the process. There is no art of barbecue or grill skill needed.
