Hello David. Very true. Take care, and thanks for watching.
Very good information. I think you are right on for four of the five. However, I do prefer the tumble weeds better than the wax cubes because the tumble weeds don’t melt in the hot summer sun.
That is a great point Big Lew. You definitely cannot leave the cubes out in the sun. Take care!

Hi Johnny!
I found this to be a very precise and non-biased video. I’ve bought a lot of things that I ended up not using, some of them were crap and some of them were really good quality. I’m kind of like you, when I buy something I want to know that I’ll be using it on a regular basis.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Stay safe and healthy my friend!
Thanks. Yeah, sometimes you get things and the quality is there but over time you end up using something else. Take care!
I like to keep my grilling old school and leave the tech out of it. A good ol digital meat thermometer does just fine. Keeping it simple without all the "extras". Great video Johnny!
Hello Kelly. I like a little tech in my cooks. Most recently these nice wireless thermometers coming out. I do enjoy those. Take care.
Great advice Johnny, when I first watched your Weber connect I too thought that might be a great tool, but looked more into it and for it wasn't going to do what I thought it would. Hate the tumbleweeds too, but they do work. Thanks for your insight and I hope you have a Great day!
Hello Kevin. Yeah, that Weber thermometer was my biggest disappointment of the year.
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!
Hello Ron. Thanks, I appreciate you!
I actually just used Royal Oak tumbleweed starters tonight for the first time. They worked perfectly and didn't give off that chemical smell that the Weber cubes do. I think I will use them from now on.
Hello Kenneth. I’m glad you found something that works for you. Thanks for watching the video.
The way I look at it is u use what works for u.
I use tumble weed fire starters but mainly news paper tucked under the chimney
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!
The temperature controller works well. It just takes the fun out of BBQing for me. The ultra q works well and is well made. Take care Chris.
I really liked your presentation you spoke clear and precise I can’t wait to see your other videos
Thank you!
Hey Johnny this was a great idea for a video. I agree with all of it except the tumbleweed starters. I find the Weber ones have a funny smell so I’m the opposite. I have both on the shelf but never grab the weber lol. Great tips as always and thanks for sharing. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
LOL. Truly a personal preference.
I just grab a handful of sale papers when I walk in Kroger and use those to start my chimney.
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.
Hello Ron. Yeah that little floppy thing at the bottom changes shape when it gets hot. Take care Ron.
I completely understand on the items you don’t use.....I have some of them but do use them....I personally like the tumbleweeds over the Weber ones, and I have both, but, I use them both! Very good video...I enjoyed it...thank you!!!
Hello Robert! Thanks for watching. I am a sucker for buying new bbq toys... and sometimes... I don't use them.
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.
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.
Sounds like we are on the same line of thinking. Thanks for watching.
I’m with you on those items, I’ve got all the alternatives you mentioned and they work well for me too. Cool video Johnny!
Hey Charlie. Thanks for coming by.
Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!

La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
Que tengas un hermoso dia!
Thank you for the video. That's a really nice looking grill grate you have.
Thanks!
Great video. That last one was a testament to BBQ Guru products, methinks.
Oh yeah. The BBQ Guru is a great product and does exactly what is claims to do... works extremely well.
Awsome job! thanks for sharing. Will help alot of people.
Hello Brad. I hope it does... these are just some things that didn't work out for me, other folks may love them. Take Care.
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? That's just to damm much) Anyways well done. Have a great day 🌤.
Hey Victor. Thanks. I have a lot of accessories that I don't use any more also...hmmm, it's not that I would not buy them again, in most cases the item just got replaced with something better.
@@Viewtoagrill well said.
I purchased an 18"aluminum pizza pan from my restaurant supply store for $5. Then I used an angle grinder to cut it so that it fits in the bottom of the Weber next to the slow and sear. Works great as an air baffle to keep the air going over the coals. And super cheap.
Nice mod!
Helpful video Johnny! We all seem to have those accessories that never seem to get used. Maybe a video on your 5 favorite accessories is in the works?
Hello BigStu. I appreciate you coming by. I did my top ten BBQ accessories the week before last. I appreciate you coming by.
@@Viewtoagrill Missed that one - will check it out. Keep them coming!
Thanks!
Hey Johny! That's what's great about BBQ.........all different people with different ideas on how to get it done.
As long as we're getting it done....it's all good! I never did understand the point of that Weber connect.
The Weber connect was a huge disappointment.... at least for me it was.
Thanks for the info. I just ordered my INKBird IBBQ-4T
Hello Bryan. Hope you enjoy it! I like mine.
Thanks for the good tips👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Bill. Thanks for coming by.
"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.
Hello Al. I was actually hesitant to put that in the video because I didn’t want people to think that the UltraQ was a bad product because it is not bad it is phenomenal. I only use it if I want to set it and forget it overnight otherwise I don’t use it I’ll take care Al!!
Dang it Johnny, I couldn’t agree more! I use the same products (minus the SnS) hopefully I’ll add that soon. Great video
Hey Oso! I think the SnS a great product. Take care.
I enjoyed that, took a bit of guts! Now I would like to see five ( or more) accessories you would buy again!
That is a great idea!
Man I don't think I've ever used the wax cubes. Seems like a lot of people love them though. I happen to use the tumbleweeds all the time. lol
Hey Alton. LOL. The tumble weeds work fine but I just like the cubes better. Take care!
Two paper towels crumpled up, works like a charm
Dryer lent and junk mail for me Lol
Johnny I am so happy you did this video and I agree with you it’s not that the products are bad it’s just you don’t use them in for the cost thanks for the tip on that thermometer
Hello Jeff. Yeah , I found that some of these are good products but still not worth the price.
Just love your videos. The simple explanations I also like.
Hello Matt. Thanks, I really appreciate that.
Love the videos man!
Thanks John!
Thanks, great video!
Thanks Joseph.
The Weber cubes are awesome, but I use a flamethrower 😂😂😂Great video! I’m about to do my review on the Inkbird after 2k pounds of brisket.
2k pounds of brisket! Awesome, I usually do .000014 pounds of brisket!
Thanks for the tips!
Hey Bobby. Thanks for watching.
Ill buy that BBQ Guru off of you lol. Appreciate the videos & honesty in them! just not finding them for the first time. Down the rabbit hole I go!
Hello Berry! Thanks for coming by and taking a look!
Great info. Love my Inkbird!
The inkbird is a very good thermometer for the price.
Love the honest reviews brother
Hello Eddie. It is the only way my friend. Take care and thanks for coming by.
Awesome video and agree with all except- I go tumbleweeds over the wax cubes
Hey Louis! I’ve gotten a few comments below from folks preferring the tumble weeds... I’m going to need to give them another chance. What brand do you use?
I’ll be the odd man out, I like the Drip n Griddle. It was a gift, so there’s that, but I like how it’s contoured, which helps direct all combustion air into the slow and sear.
Hello P Johnson. I think the drip n griddle is just too expensive for what it is. 89.99 is a lot to pay for a drip pan. That’s all... I think I could like it for half that. Take care.
@@Viewtoagrill sure, but it’s supposed to be much more than a drip pan. It’s also meant to control airflow up through the slow n sear better, and can also be used as a griddle cooking surface, right? It’s higher price point is supposed to be due to its versatility
I love the tumbleweed starter... I use them mainly because that's what available at the closest store but they work everytime for me... most all the starters work just fine as far as my experience
These days I am using the Superior brand of firecups.
@@Viewtoagrill I've never seen those but they look like they would work good
Good stuff Johnny! That pitboss chimney sounds darn right dangerous wow...we all like the new toys and have some that just end up collecting dust..lol..thanks for sharing brother, have yourself a great one, you all stay safe!👍👊🍻
Yeah. I am a sucker for buying new stuff and then not using it.
Fire Starter ! BACON GREASE and Paper Towel Pushed into Charcoal !!!! It is a Great Way to repurpose Old Bacon Grease !!!!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Probably smells like heaven too!
Johnny...sounds like good sense to me buddy!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Julie! Thanks for coming by.
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.
Hello Jeff. Yeah, the drip and griddle... not worth it at all. Now the tumble weeds and the cubes.. I have actually moved on from both of those now in favor of the little cups in my latest video... I like to try new things you know.
All the comments are entertaining. A cheap method for fire starters is 90% rubbing alcohol and some jumbo cotton balls inside a quart mason wide mouth canning jar.
I couldn’t agree more about the drip pan. I’m going to make one for myself when I have time. $90 is a rip off for sheet metal. However my slow and sear xl I like.
Hello Joe. Yeah the drip pan is not that great. I think the idea is a great idea to have it fit the kettle but the price for what it is.. is just too much. Takes care Joe.
Cool video Johnny, every griller had those go to's and then those backup ooooo shiny new toy things. 🤘🤘
Hello Lee! We all like shinny things! LOL... take care.
Great idea for a video, thanks!
Hello Mathew. Thanks I appreciate you coming by and taking a look.
Thanks for doing the reviews Johnny..
Thanks for the support Skip.
I come here on occasion and scan up to the point where he says he bought it and can dislike it for any reason he wants to! Spoken like a real man! Love it! Where did you get the charcoal starter stands?
😂 I love it! My dad made those stands for me. I hope you find what you are looking for. Take care.
Good stuff Johnny!👍
Thanks Joe!
How about the Weber cover? I just got a performer folding table. I would like something to cover it up but those covers are ludicrous! Any suggestion?
I have the Weber cover for the same grill. I like it.
tumbleweed firestarter is cheap and amazing, always using them
Since this video I have switched to firecups.
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. 🍺
Hey rocket! I have seen the videos where some folks say you don’t need the Slow n Sear… and it is true. 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.
Love the honesty
Thanks Mister Lift.
Totally agree with SNS drop n griddle review. Haven’t used my drip n griddle once yet. Overpriced drip pan.
Yep!
In defense of the Weber connect, they are still adding things through software updates. I agree it’s not there yet, but I have to applaud them for still working on it.
This is true. They do software updates a lot. I plan on doing a 1 year review in March.
Hi, great content!
Question:
The app of the Weber Connect had a great update about 3 weeks ago. Could you please review it one more time? Very curious about your opinion and if they made it more worth the money now.
Keep it up! 👍
I am going to do a 1 year review in March.
Great video. Experience is the best teacher
Hello Brent. Thanks! I agree.
Big dawg... where did you buy this hat. I see the video is from 1 year ago. But maybe I can still find it. Ty
Hello Baldemar! I got that hat from Buc-ee's in Texas City. Take care!
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.
I’m a MAN, Dead Gum It! I don’t need to relinquish control of my pit to an electronic machine.
Hello Lew. I have the billows as well but I have not used it yet. I do prefer controlling the temperature myself. it is a great product though if you want to upgrade your kettle with a temp controller because you don't have the room for a pellet grill.
Man I agree in the bbq guru. They are like pellet grills. Greet when you don’t have time, but kind of take the fun out of bbq.
Hello Mike. It is just like a pellet grill. I had an idea about making the case on getting a guru instead of a pellet grill but when I was done with the video i could not make the case because I don’t have a pellet grill for the comparison... so I never released the video.
Could not agree more man, nice video
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Great video. I subscribed!
Hello Anthony. Thanks for subscribing.
Here’s 2 questions for you!
Is the Weber iGrill 2 worth it? I have a chance to get one for free.
Also out of curiosity after watching this video: are aluminum pans ok to use in the kettles? I always wondered if it was too hot for them or not?
Thank you!
I had the eye grill 2 for a while before I melted it... and I did like it but I think the inkbird is a better deal. The aluminum pans are fine for use in the kettle.
@@Viewtoagrill thank you sir! I have one of the thermopro probes. The Weber one looks pretty neat if it’s worth it I may have to get one!
I have a 22inch Weber master . How do I get the most real estate by putting charbaskets in the middle or both to one side?
I put both baskets together.. have the wide sides touching each other to make a hexagon. .. and then move them over to one side. I am actually making a video on how to use the baskets that come with the weber kettle... it will be out this weekend or the next... depending on the rain.
@@Viewtoagrill thanks looking forward to that video.
Posted it today!
I agree with everything you said. We'll done
Hey Toby. Thanks for coming by!
I was looking at drip and griddle to buy. Thanks.
They do have a cast iron one now for less. You can see a video of it on Tom Horseman’s channel. The stainless steel one is just to pricey.
@@Viewtoagrill yeah I'm interested in the cast iron version as a nice cast iron griddle, not necessarily for a drip pan.
Great channel mate! From Melbourne Australia
Hello Nathan! Thanks, I appreciate that!
I have been debating on buying a similar unit as the BBQ Guru. I just wondered how much I would use it. I think I’d prob do the same as you.
The BBQ Guru is an amazing product. It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. Take care Katz!
You don't by chance still have the BBQ Guru? I'll buy it if you do. Seriously.
Hello Lance. I do not have the BBQ Guru any more.
Great info for noobs like me! Thanks Johnny!
Hey Rob! I do my best to cater to the beginner BBQer. Hopefully I have som e useful information for you.
IMO, fans/fan controllers are really better for smokers (not charcoal grills). I have an insulated vertical cabinet smoker and the fan control (from Fireboard), is amazing. To me, worrying about managing wild temp swings is NOT fun. The built in wifi capibility is also fantastic for monitoring from any distance.
I know a lot of folks who say the exact same thing. Theses fan controllers really do work well and put out really good food. I have a new one from ThermoWorks that I am going to try out soon. Take care Chris!
@@Viewtoagrill I was looking at the Thermoworks fan too. I decided to stick with my bbq guru Pitbull fan (because, honestly, it's never let me down)
Good stuff Johnny!tfs stay connected
Thank you!
I'm curious about the stands you are using to place your how chimney down on. I've been looking for something similar for a while. Would you be able to direct me to where I could purchase one? Thanks for the video, by the way!
My dad made those for me. He does sell them.
@@Viewtoagrill That's awesome. Does he sell them online and/or ship them?
@@trolfmmm he does not, just locally.
Thanks, great video! I agree with your assessment of ATCs (ultraQ). I was jealous when l saw someone cook on a pellet grill! Seems like ATCs are supposed to make charcoal grilling more like pellet grills. Set and forget kind of cooking. Which is great! But not for me. The best food is cooked over flame and tended by a live human being!
Hello Jon. I prefer to tinker with the vent. Although I will say to be able to put 2 briskets on the pellet grill and then go to work for 10 hours… and not have to worry about it, is a good thing also. Take care Jon.
@@Viewtoagrill I bought a Spider 22 for my Weber grill. I was jealous first time I saw a brisket cooked on a Rec Teq! I enjoy tending food and fire. I learned a lot just by monitoring my grate temps. But, electronics takes some of the passion and connection away (at least for me). My wife said it was an excuse to hang out and drink. I don’t drink anymore, I still love cooking meat over a flame for hours on end!
I love this guy. I bought it and damn it I can dislike it if I want to. You other idiots that paid 80 bucks for a stupid drip pan you need to shut up, I don't like it. Foot Stomp. New Subscriber!
HA! Exactly, I paid for it so I can dislike it for any reason I want! LOL
Agreed!
Hey Mickey! One of my most astute Viewers.
Huge cheapskate here, for a bottom drip pan I've found disposable pizza pans in heavy rigid foil, works pretty well for 5-6 cooks before they're toast. I've been meaning to maybe find some sheet stainless or an old destroyed cookie baking tray to hammer into shape, which would be a more permanent solution.
Hello bfjb70. Cheap is good! I have used pizza pans in the past they work great. Take care.
So glad you said that about temp controller, with all these
you miss the fun, may as well pop stuff in the kitchen oven lol
Hello Ann. The BBQ Guru does a great job and controlling the temperature for sure... which does take all the fun out of long cooks. Take care Ann and thanks for coming by.
@@Viewtoagrill it's more fun doing the temp control yourself 😁
I agree!
@@Viewtoagrill where did you get basket for smokey Joe and defensively plate. Lovely build (other video lol)
Go to this channel "The Woodshed Smoke & BBQ with Slowhand" and ask Greg to make You the "Smoke, sear and Que Bundle" that you saw on my channel. I have a video of me cooking with it if you want to see it in action... ribeye steak taco video.
I wanna know more about those metal stands you put the charcoal chimneys on
Hey Andrew. My dad made those for me. Love them, I have 3.
I was looking everywhere for one of these chimney stands! There may be a nice Etsy opportunity here? It sure beats using a square stepping stone!
Two paper towels crumpled up works perfectly.
Hello Nate. Yes sir, paper towels can do the trick!
Tumble weed way better than cubes
I use for cups now.
S&S...i agree when I saw this i was what? Price? I continue to use aluminum disposable baking pans..as my drip pans...
Hello Ty. The SnS drip and griddle is definitely not worth the price. I do love my slow n sear charcoal basket though... there are a lot of folks who say those are overpriced too... but I would buy the SnS charcoal basket again if for some reason I lost the one I have.
I don't use a drip pan, I line my charcoal grate with foil , nothing to have to wash, plus I can make the foil seal better than the drip pan. Just my 2 cents.
Hey Carl. That definitely works!
Dude get the weber summit kamado. It's so easy to hold temps
Hey Omar. I would love to have that grill.
Good stuff brutha
Thanks!
I just about wet myself when you said about accidentally hitting the bottom and dropping your burning charcoal on the floor. I bet it was pandemonium until you got that mess sorted
I almost wet myself too!
Did you try tip top temp
I have seen the tip top temp... but have not tried it, the guru really does work well and keeps temperatures with in 5 degrees of your target temp... if you have a guru.. you may not need a pellet grill.
Totally agree on the SNS Drip pan...WAY over priced!!! So much so I ended up with the porcelain one and I line it with foil.
Hello Chris. Glad I am not the only one.
@@Viewtoagrill yep, and I have their kettle & I love it, but seems like everything is WAY pricey!!! I use it to both cook and smoke everything along with my Weber gas grill...I cook with whatever I'm feeling at the moment...great vids Johnny. Love your channel!
You didn’t mention your craycort cast iron grates. I bought mine, and never pull them out. Maybe in the future.
I didn’t mention the craycort grates because I enjoy using them. I still use them. They are on my 26 inch kettle.
@@Viewtoagrill I know I should!

Hi Johnny!
Hello Mr mmmm.
Do a video on the items you can’t live without
Great idea. I kind of did that with my top 10 items about two weeks ago. But 5 items I could not live without is a little different... thanks for the idea.
Most of those baking racks aren't meant for as high temps as a good screaming BBQ can get. The racks usually cap out at around 550-600 degrees. Not much hotter than a standard kitchen oven will get. Care for toxicity bud. Just check the temp rating.
Good point. I don't ever cook on the baking rack over direct heat... but I have never really considered if a stainless steel baking grid would be toxic a high temps.... you have me curious though... gonna research that. Take care.
where did you get the hat?
They sell it on the Weber website.
👍
Hey Chris!
I have been using a pellet grill for the past 5 years. To me, it feels like cheating. No more adjusting the temp and playing with it. Boring. I just bought a Weber performer on Craigs list and can't wait to play with it while lying in the hammock and having a fee pops. I'm going back to the finer days and Q-ing the old fashion way again.
Hey John! Let me know how it goes.
The Weber starting cubes have a chemical smell to me. As a cancer survivor, I stopped using them.
Congrats on beating cancer! I actually found a brand that I like better. You can see them in my newer videos... and the video I just posted today.. Take care.
