- In this video I'll show you how to set up a charcoal grill for smoking. Just because you don't have a dedicated smoker doesn't mean you can't BBQ with the best of them! Anything that can be smoked in a smoker can be smoked on a charcoal grill.
Below are some links to the products I use and recommend:
Weber 22 inch Charcoal Grill - amzn.to/2mRKSEb
Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter - amzn.to/2n8IGKs
Stainless Steel Hinged Grilling Grate - amzn.to/2mRO8PY
Kingsford Original Charcoal - amzn.to/2noNYDD
Oven Thermometer - amzn.to/2nos4Aq
Hyco Grill Thermometer - amzn.to/2vU6xS9

I trust your bbq knowledge because of your accent
😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😭😭💯💯 also, reminds me my boy zach galifianakis, I don’t know why😭😭😆 but love their south accent !!
Ha!!!! 😆
Ha Ha how true Yankees can’t smoke!
The way you talk makes me feel relaxed 😌
Hey Brother, i tried this method over the weekend and ended up with the best ribs I've ever made. Tender, moist, perfect. Thank you!
That's pretty clever with the thermometer placement- knowing the temperatures over the coals and over the area without coals. Good tip! Thanks!👍🏻
Thank you!
Thanks so much for doing these videos. I'm learning so much about charcoal grills from you. I switched from gas to charcoal because I live in Flordia now and if we hit hit by a hurricane I wanted a grill that didn't rely on gas or electric and I could store its source of fuel easily.
Brother for the 5 to 10 years that I've been on RUclips, I think I've commented on maybe 5 to 8 videos, and yours is one that I felt the need to comment on this really was a great video. I was over here trying to cook. Only chunks of wood like you were using, but no charcoal Briquettes whatsoever. That was a good tip. To use the foil pan of water. Thanks again honestly.
I've been looking to start grilling and your videos are so informative that I'm pumped to start !
I've watched several videos on this topic and I think you had the clearest explanation. Also, you are the first person I've seen place a thermometer under the vent where it belongs.
Thanks for these informative videos brother I'm just starting the new world of charcoal grilling really excited. got the exact same grill that you have please keep up the great work from upstate New York.
Your very welcome! I hope you will grow to enjoy grilling as much as I do! I don't think you'll be let down by your grill. They are a work horse! Thanks for watching. I'm in the mountains of Kentucky. Hope to visit your part of the country someday.
Thank you sir. I have enjoyed watching your videos. I had no idea how to smoke with a weber but your videos have been very helpful. I love using my weber now. Thanks again.
Accent checked out. He’s gained my trust when it comes to grilling.
Your accent is oddly relaxing bro. Lol. Thanks for the info.
Tee Jay I agree! I try to reproduce it but I’m from the Rocky Mountains & I cant nail it, not even close!
This is 1 of the best videos on exactly what I was looking for. I don't have an expensive smoker but do have a Weber just like yours. I want to use it for both grilling and as a smoker and was having a little trouble with that.
Hey Alan I hope this video helped! You can do a lot of smoking with your Weber!
what other people need to realize, grilling just takes experience over the years and you have to really love grilling to turn out the best cooks each time,
after you get a lot of grill time, YOU then become one with whatever grill you re grilling with, at this point, you feel the heat zone differences , with each grill and when the grill lid is on, if you are experienced, then you can feel in your bones, the way the meat is cooking, hard to explain, but all will understand after you gain the experience,
thanks so much for your viedos
Gaining the experience is the fun part too! Thanks for watching!
I've i'm going to trust anyone with BBQ tips it's this guy
🤔 Did you actually read this before posting it? Wtf are you saying?
@@Shabec2982 She said "If I'm going to trust anyone with BBQ tips it's this guy". Auto correct probably changed "If" to "I've" . It happens.
I read somewhere that before adding food to the grill, all of the charcoal needs to be *white ashed over* or else bad flavors from the *black* charcoal would cause off flavors to the food. What I have done in the past is use a seperate fire area to have burning charcoal so when it is ashed over I would throw in the ready briquettes (10ish) to my grill. This way the temps would only fluctuate 5 to 10 degrees only.
Thank you! Straightforward and much appreciated. Especially about the location of the lid thermometer.
Excellent video. Thank you I am going to try a Brisket in my Weber Master Touch instead of my Bullet smoker this fathers day.
I just stumbled on this video, and Wow! It makes great sense, and I'm glad someone took the time to encourage some of us common folk with our regular grilles for smoking. I'm gonna give it a try. I had a smoker, but it was a real pain cleaning. Great advice!
As soon as I heard his accent I knew right away this guy was an expert in smoking meat 😆
Great video. I followed this method on my wings turned out perfect!! Great work!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and I'm glad to have been able to help!
This was very helpful Alpha. Thank you. God bless you as well.
I just bought my second ever Weber Grill. The first one I bought in 1981 this one is one of the limited edition Red Kettles. I have watched most of your videos and just wanted to say I enjoy them very much.
Those limited edition red kettles are beautiful! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment! I hope to out out more videos this year. It's my way of connecting with and sharing my love of cooking with other folks that love cooking too!
"Charco" lol I've watched many "how to" vids and this is as good as any on smoking with the Weber. He covers all the best tips: A temp gauge. Chunk wood instead of chips. A grate that has hinges. Other than fire-proof gloves, he covers it all. Great video.
I love your easy going demeanor. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for the advice. Going to use these tips on my home made concrete smoker! First cook tomorrow.. wish me luck 😀
Awesome!
Hello there! Glad to see you back on RUclips. For people who are purchasing a Charcoal Kettle Grill for the first time. I was wondering is there's a way if you can demonstrate on Seasoning your grill before you can start grilling? I think that would be a good idea. please let me know and may God bless you my brother!
Tim Williams 🙏🏾
Bubba I’m trying my first smoked charcoal experience thanks to you !
Glade I found your channel..... I've tried the snake method before in my kettle with some ribs and it worked pretty good, I'm going to try your method on my next cook session....By the way I really Love the accent----- Good ole country boy---- God bless you to man, Keep up the good work!!!!!

I have charcoal baskets for my Weber. Put them on opposite sides and fill half full of unlit coals then add hot coals.This works good for me doing chicken, turkey, ribs etc

Dude, you’re fantastic!!!! Thanks for the content.
Thanks for sharing your skills. I'm sharing your channel in my video description for my first smoked brisket.

Great video!
Thank you for sharing.
This was very very helpful m. Thank you!!!
Wow I love your channel! I’ve always used propane but I’m switching to charcoal, will follow all your advice, thanks!
Awesome! You won't regret the switch. I know propane is convenient but once you start using charcoal you will love it.
Hank hill would be disappointed in u but I’m not
@@KitchenAlpha there is just something about the smell of a charcoa grilll! There's nothing else quite like it! It's heaven!

+Miguel Hernandez thank you very much!
learned the hard way, last time grilled..... Used a cheaper charcoal and had hard time with heat....... Was using halve moon shaped (2) on two sides and putting meat in the middle.... Plan to use up the cheap charcoal and get back to Kingsford....
Very helpful, first brisket !!!!
good work will try boss
You perfectly explained how to control the temperature..thank you
Great Video bro
Nice video. Very informative.
Thank you!
Awesome bro thanks
I would like to know how you installed your thermometers.
Thanks mate! Really helpful 👍🙏
Glad to help!!!
Good deal work's great
Thank you for the video!!!!!!
Very helpful
Run forest run !!! Love that accent bruh..
Really helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@KitchenAlpha so, using this method, I've smoked 2 beautiful and delicious 6 pounds briskets and I literally just fired the grill for 2 racks of ribs. Thank you again.
I refuse to buy a traeger. It's too easy. This method requires skill and love!
Smart to add the opening on the rack
I’m new to bbq this is probably a dumb question but the water pan adds moisture?
Great video! You're da man!!!
admire you so much !
Is there a process for adding more charcoal? Does it produce bad smoke if you add it mid cook? Or do you preheat the charcoal?
very informative thx
Great video
Thank you!
Just excellent. Well explained! I see you don’t use a box for your coals. Does that matter?
I just pile mine up on the grate but there is nothing wrong with either way!
just want to say , i really enjoy your videos, i have had a weber kettle for more than 25 years, now a pit boss pro series pellet grill, and a genisis weber gas grill, just curious where you are from, i am from south carolina and now living hickory n.c.
keep up the good work, BE GOOD BE SAFE
Awesome Nick! I appreciate your comments my friend! Take care!
I'm from Kentucky nick!
Forgot to mention: If you get the chance, I recommend watching Louisiana Cajun Recipes...ol' JB is a good cook. Also Malcom Reed on RUclips. Just my 2cents.
He's right... I learned not to use lump when smoking. It burns inconsistent, the heat fluctuates to much.
Thank you!
I actually want to come there one day and try one of those...
can show vid how to.modify n add the thermometer.on the cover
Nice
Great video. How do add the thermometer in the back of the grill?
Thank you! It's very simple, you just drill a whole and push the stem of the thermometer through and tighten a wing nut. I can't remember what size bit I used but you just want to match the stem on the thermometor. Thermometers can be picked up on Amazon pretty inexpensively.
Thank you for detailed instructions, I am smoking stuffed bacon wrapped chicken thighs, for the first time…I am the one who cooks on grill in my family
Thank you for your clear explanation. I’m thinking about making some andouille, the recipes seem to want to keep the heat a little lower (so as to not melt the fat) and smoke them for about twelve hours. Would you use this method to do that? I don’t want to get to the last part of the process and ruin it. I appreciate any guidance you can give.
Yes you definitely could do that. Just keep an eye on the temp and adjust vents as needed.
@@KitchenAlpha Thank you! I love your channel. It’s a great knowledge resource.
Very informative 💞
Glad you think so!
Can you make a video on how to control the temperature. Thanks!
Will definitely try to include that in a future video. Thank you!
@@KitchenAlpha many thanks. Already subscribed to your channel for what you do and also for your cool accent. Keep up the good work!
How did you add those thermometers on there
Nice video brother !" Keep em coming I'm about fire up my weber and my smoker
Thanks for watching! New videos coming soon!
