  • I am so glad that all of these popular youtube people always use a thermometer. I was always told that "real men can tell by feel." And after using a good thermometer like actual PRO'S use. My food is way better. Thermometers are a must.

    I started out on the small kettle grills, but then I graduated to bigger more expensive and some say better gas, smoker you name it, years later I'm back to the kettle and life is good.
  • @493Jester
    Just picked up my first kettle today. Thanks for taking the time to show this newbie the basics. First meal was delicious.
  • @99slayer99
    I like how you are straight to the point, great video.
  • @joseveliz218
    Thanks this was a good refresher. Went over the basics of the Weber Kettle. I’ve grilled many times but been a while since I’ve done it at home.
  • @David-mw3th
    I love my 20yr old webber kettle. For charcoal, I use Kingsford. Its very consistent from bag to bag.
  • @KaoV1983
    It takes time to learn but the Weber kettle is amazing. And is the most versatile grill a person can get. Great video!
  • This is solid information and a great resource for the present and future. Thanks for this video!
  • Hell yea man, personally even after all these years I do everything on my kettle or my smokey mountain. Best way to learn and best way to really know what you're doing. While I love all your videos, I know this serious will be my favorite.
  • @SnSGrills
    What a great series! We can't wait to see more recipes and tips this summer!
  • @elis51501
    Trying my hand with my newly purchased Weber kettle grill today, ribeyes baked potatoes asparagus Texas toast and a salad for my father in laws bday:) I’ll be making use of your great tutorial, thankyou!
  • This is exactly the info I needed! Thanks for running thru these important points.
  • @AMMOBBQ
    Amazing video. I was thinking about getting an SNS. Thank you for getting into all the details.
  • @txmatt2112
    Haven’t used my kettle in seven or eight years. But after watching your video, I’m going back. I just seem to use my pellet or my griddle but really for steaks they’ve never turned out as good as doing them on a charcoal grill so I think it’s time to go back to the basics. Thank you.
  • @doublej963
    As always brother another great video, keep up the great work buddy 💯👍
  • Love this series already! Looking forward to more of this!

    Couldn't agree more about the Weber Kettle. I had a Weber Q gas grill for over 10 years and it worked great, but it was shot after all those years and was all set to replace it with another gas grill. Then I still had my Dad's very old Weber Kettle that doesn't even have any kind of openings on the bottom, the air vents are on the side and the lid. I tell you, that Kettle works so great, I have been on the barbeque kick since. Thanks to youtube videos like these, I was finally able to 'Q up chicken for the first time without ruining it. Two zone grilling works so well! I don't know if I'll ever go back to a gas grill again!
