  11. I don't know what your Kingsford is like, but the stuff I bought is AWFUL. It doesn't get terribly hot, and there is SO MUCH ASH!! Yeah, it's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Burned some Jealous Devil briquettes after finishing a bag of Kingsford and the difference was staggaring. Burns hotter, WAY less ash, and lasts longer too. The "premium" charcoal is totally worth the money. Want it really hot, ditch the briquettes and get some good lump. Again, worth the money. Original Kingsford might work in a pinch, if there are no other options … but it's my last resort after thinking it would be just fine.

  14. Weber is the way to go. Only issue i have with Weber is the flimsy legs and the standard 3 leg design. My 26 is an awesome grill but Weber really should have made this model with a strong 4 leg system. You can mount on a table, DIY.

  18. I have a killer pellet grill/smoker (rectec RT-700 Bull) and it's been great for the past 7 years but even adding extra smoke tubes, it (pellet grills in general) just don't add enough smoke taste for my liking. It's been 31 years since I've cooked with charcoal so not knowing weather I would enjoy the experience or not I decided to look for a nice used kettle just identical to the one in the video. I kept my eyes peeled on OfferUp. If you're not familiar with it, it's an app you download to your phone kinda like Craigslist but much much better. There were several to choose from with pricing from $20 to $125. Some were the less expensive models and some this model. I watched a couple of days and the one I bought popped up at $20 and all it needed was a good cleaning. From the outside it looks like it's 6 months old and it's sat outside without a cover. It still looks nice and it'll last longer than I'll want to use it. Why am I telling you this? These grills are $219 new now plus tax. After you use it 20-30 times it'll look exactly like the one I paid $20 for. Save yourself a chunk of cash and buy a used one. Use the money you saved to buy the extras you'll need to start off and meat! I hope this helps someone. Be blessed! 🙏

  22. You have younger siblings don't you. Because I feel like your little sister right now. And I won't kill us so thank you…

    And for you ladies who want nothing to do with drilling into your drill cover thing to put a thermometer in there, put an oven thermometer in there where your food will be. It won't be exactly the same but if you can cook in an oven you can cook with an oven thermometer in a grill. Just don't mess with it too much.

  35. Thanks for the video Chavez . I'll be on the grill tomorrow going to set up 2 zones. Just cooking burgers and hot dogs, should i seer then let it cook indirect, then when almost done, put bbq sauce on it then back on the sear side?

  36. Great tips!!! I have mastered the art of BBQ-ING and GRILLING (two different things) over the last 40+ years. Strictly charcoal and that Southern Louisiana style, both dry rub and sauced up… Nothing wrong with using a bit of lighter fluid as long as it is completely burned off before cooking. I have never used a chimney starter, just pyramid in the grill and spread once ready. Also, if doing a slow cook, like spare ribs, load the coals in a loaf shape on one side of the grill. Light one end and let it burn from end-to-end. Add a few wood chunks for flavor. Remember, it is all about controlling heat for the desired outcome.

  40. Just got my first house and my brother gifted me a grill. I'm trying to become the best in the family and watching this video makes me feel like I already know things that will give me an advantage such as the chimney and placing the coal on one side with the vent on the opposite. I trust you and I'm ready!!
