    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    Excellent, thank you. :) I got a big pack of drumsticks for the first smoke, I figure I can live with messing up chicken a lot easier than I could ribs. :) I'll be doing the minion method like you did, I think it will work just fine for me.

    Location of Thermometer

    All grills will have different temp zones so you will need to learn what yours are. What I did (on my Weber kettle) was place a probe at the grates, just as SmokinAl suggested, and I watched the dome therm and the probe as temps went up. I was able to deduce that the dome temp was about 5 deg F...

    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    Some good info there Cliffcarter! You also confirmed a theory I worked up. Get the charcoal lined up in a way that will cause 8-12 to be lit at any given time. So with 12 started at the beginning, figure the burn rate so you are igniting and  burning out at about the same rate and then use the...

    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    Positive results. :) I got 8 coals going and closed the bottom vents 90% and held 240 for close to an hour. When it started to fade I put 4 more coals (cold) on and it held and started to come back up. This is good, I feel like I will be able to do this without too much pain. The Smokenator...

    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    No doubt that a WSM would be more appropriate to smoke with but from what I have seen around, the Weber Kettle is fine as a smoker, we'll see I guess. I just need to figure out the temp thing...

    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    there was maybe a 5mph breeze. Total seal on the lid even with the probe wire passing through (well at least good enough that there was no smoke leaking out). BTW, I was using a Polder digital for temp monitoring. How many coals do you use for low temp and what method do you use?

    Learning the Weber 22.5" Kettle - Results

    So I was able to play a bit on Sunday with the Weber 22.5 and as expected, got unexpected results. :) Note that all of these runs were meatless using Stubbs charcoal. First thing I tried was a full load of coal in one of the holders, probably 20 or so brickettes. This went over 300 F even with...

    Hi all, New here and new to smoking! I did slow cook ribs twice last year on the propane grill and they were fantastic. temp control by wedging tongs in the lid was fun. This was without smoke so I am really looking forward to doing the smoke thing. I got a used Weber Performer for 100 bucks...
