Bro n Sear | Weber Kettle Charcoal basket Mod | Poor man’s | Slow ‘N Sear

[@JDCacioppo91]

Kent, you saved me about $71.00. I got hit with the urge to buy a SNS. Then a member in a Facebook group referred me to your Bro N Sear. Ingenuity at its finest. Took me like 20 minutes to build. I watched Ryan's comparison video and that's what sold me your idea.

[@daddydutchbbq]

Hey, I'm happy to help. I use it on 95% of my kettle cooks. Please let me know how you like it! Cheers ! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@JDCacioppo91]

@@daddydutchbbq it works amazing! People sometimes underestimate the baskets. I use mine as a Bro N Sear, plus have 2 more that I use in place of an expensive Vortex.

These baskets came with my new Weber Master Touch and after my first attempt at indirect cooking, I was not happy with their function as separate units. I had done research on the SnS and was about to buy one until I stumbled across this video. I used the baskets that came with my grill, made the same modifications (with a few detail differences, fasteners mostly) and the result was superb! Mad props to Daddy Dutch! Thank you!!

[@daddydutchbbq]

Nice, I don't' have baskets and just used 2 bricks. Just started in to kettle cooking with a well used 22". Still figuring out what I want or need. Baskets may be something on he list now.

[@FritzFrank]

Although I watched and liked this video years ago (and it's saved in my favorites) I just realized I never commented and showed my appreciation for your ingenuity. I not only made one for my 22 kettle, I also made one a little larger for my 26 kettle. Thank you sir for this amazing idea! 👏🙇‍♂🍻

Mr FritzFrank, thank you ! I'm glad to hear that they are working well for you ! Be well! Cheers!

[@robk5865]

I cut to size a piece of metal mesh (the kind used for tiling) to keep the smallest lump charcoal pieces from falling through the grate and I wall it up with a couple of bricks. Works like a charm. My grill is a cheap, barely above camping grade rig and it runs and smokes like a weber. The only other "mod" I made was to make a large diameter washer to keep the top vent disc honest and snug to the lid surface.

[@markbutler6099]

I have had those tossed to the side for years because they seemed not very helpful. Been using 2 bricks the last few years. But this idea was too good to pass up . 5 minutes & problem was solved . Thanks for sharing. My old ones finally get used !!!!

[@daddydutchbbq]

Mark, glad I could help! Let me know how you like them . I do have 2 separate baskets also that I only use with my rotisserie. Other wise the Bro N Sear is my go to basket in the kettles. Thank you very much for stopping by. If you like it , tell all your buddies ! Cheers Mark !

Keeping the hot coals off of the kettle wall helps keep the heat in the kettle. The water pan helps block the radiant heat of the hot coals. Great easy mod! Right on Kent!

[@cjhan47]

Great idea. Especially give the excessive price of the slow and sear.

[@GrillTopExperience]

One benefit of the SNS is how it evens out the temperature across the cooking grate. I'd be curious how this setup compares. It certainly works better than the two baskets did.

[@daddydutchbbq]

Hey Ryan, just an inexpensive option because i thought the 2 baskets were clunky and didn't match up well together on the same side. Not a true replacement for the S n S but a very workable option. I have had a set up like this for the past year. It works very well . Videos upcoming.Thanks Ryan and congrats on your win last night !

Not only can you put some in a drip pan under the meat, but another approach is to put some in a small loaf pan or mixing bowl directly over the lit charcoal. Really helps to moderate the temps and provide steam in the kettle without totally blocking meat from heat under the grate like the SnS does. (Who only wants to cook the top side of their briskets and pork butts?)

Hey man I'd suggest you change the title to reflect "bro and sear" to make it easier to find this video. I think this is awesome and most of us already have the baskets that come with the Weber.

Great Bro N Sear buddy. I love it.

Thanks Chef ! It works great in the kettle !

Great idea Kent, I definitely like this way better than two baskets butted up to one another

[@daddydutchbbq]

Steve, Thanks. The two baskets do not work well together on the same side ! That’s why I came up with this idea last year !
