Thanks for the kettle chicken. I got the weber hear controller that has a version of the vortex. I used the complete setup for ribs. Gives you more space. I'm gonna try the chicken for my next cookout Saturday

Personally, 9/10 times, I use Tumbleweed starters to light my charcoal. I used to use Weber's starter cubes, but I found they could be a bit messy. Plus, the Tumbleweeds burn a bit cleaner and a box is pretty cheap, so I switched over about 5-6 years ago. I also sometimes use butcher paper to light fires as I use it to wrap brisket, ribs, etc. and the rendered fat on the paper makes an AWESOME starter. Same principle as paper towels/newspaper soaked in oil, but the butcher paper is a bit more sturdy.

Awesome find, Troy! I wouldn't mind finding an MLH myself (Especially an MLH Ranch), but trying to find vintage Kettles in Texas is like trying to find a needle in a haystack... if the haystack was on fire XD

That's a 1981. Just like mine, same color and all. The metal on my lid handle is in better shape than that one. I garbage picked it about 15 months ago. I use it for all of my direct fire cooks' probably used once every-other week, 52 weeks/year. Love it.
@Bob.Loblaw.Bob.Loblaw7 күн бұрын
My mistake. My 1981 (stamp letter on lid vent "B") WEber has a wooden attachment riveted to the steel bracket on the handle atop the kettle, not a rolled metal handle like yours. The handles on the side are the old style rolled steel handles, sans-wood or plastic. I am guessing that yours is pre-1981.

Rockwood lump is the best I've found but it's expensive. I usually use B&B Oak Lump. Because the bags can get banged around during shipping, you're always going to get a bad lump bag once in a while no matter what brand you buy. It's the nature of buying lump. Love my kettles but wish the charcoal grate wasn't so open. It's easier to run the smaller stuff in a Kamado. Love the channel.
@WeberkettleclubАй бұрын
I've heard so many good things about Rockwood Lump. I'm pretty sure Ace was selling it for a while and I tried it, but I may be just imagining things. Great point about the small lump bits, i'll make sure I factor that in when I review it! Thank you for commenting!

I gave up on Royal Oak years ago. It comes with way too much trash in the bag. Worse is Cowboy Lump. My number one favorite is FOGO Brazilian Eucalyptus Blend Hardwood Lump. If that's not available, I will buy FOGO Super Premium Lump. There's always pieces that are too large, but breaking a large piece is better than small pieces. If I can't find that, I will buy Jealous Devil or Kamado Joe Big Block XL Premium or FOGO medium lump, in that order. Then it would be B&B lump. It's good, but I think it's mostly oak. So, I find the smoke to be a little over powering. I've never tried the comp. logs but I did try B&B Hickory Lump and I thought it was better. Years ago (15+), I used BGE Lump and I loved it, but I stopped being able to find it locally. When I tried it again, I didn't think it was as good. Rumor I heard was it was made by Royal Oak and it was basically RO's premium lump.

@Weberkettleclub Hey Troy. The burns are acceptable. It is mainly the size that's inconsistent. Lots of small pieces as you found in the Fogo bag. But, also some very large pieces that barely fit in the kettle! At least everything I have found is actually from tree sources. Cook on!!
