Weber Kettle Brisket! | Chuds BBQ

[@alveus8205]

I’ve got a small property and only have a Weber kettle, so am really enjoying this series. Also, you have taught me more about trimming briskets than anyone else on KZbin.

[@eltiburon5240]

The snake method with a water pan in the middle is my go to method, best method for maintaining temps. If you want more smoke just place chunks of wood right on the first 3rd of charcoal.

[@crazyhillbilly2181]

Weber kettle has to be the best all around grill in the world. It's not the best at anything, but it's competitive at everything. It simply gets it done.

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

Well stated! Love my versatile weber

[@ayyyebeeeen]

Best at grilling. so versatile. I have 2 smokers and ill never let go of my weber. if something ever happened to it, i'll replace it asap!

[@dougnice67]

Very relevant point

[@mattc7311]

This weber kettle series has inspired me to buy a kettle. I have a yoder and love it but it's a tank and the portability of the kettle will be great for camping- keep em coming

[@pedroarellano4266]

The Slow N Sear that Brad uses in his Weber for these cooks is one of my best purchases ever. I use my weber more than my Gateway since it's just me and my wife in the house. Enjoy your kettle!

[@GusI727]

If you haven’t purchased yet, consider the SNS kettle

[@ReverendPONT]

I never got rid of my Weber Kettle after I went to pellet grills. It's just to much fun and handy to have around in case of a extended power failure.

[@John-tx1wk]

You can't go wrong with the Weber Kettle but I have to agree with Gustavo, take a look at the SNS Kettle. I bought a Weber two years ago after not having one for about 15 years and absolutely do not regret it but knowing what I know now I would have gotten the SNS.

[@lowdownone]

@@John-tx1wk agree. I’ve already modified my kettle with a hole for my fan blower as well as a hole for my temp probes. I still may get the SNS kettle though

[@pololoco2964]

10hrs into my first brisket on my weber rewatching this for the 10th time lol

[@youfager]

[@Hazzo88]

Doing my ~50th brisket, still watching, no joke lol

[@juanmeza7646]

I’m picking up my brisket today to make on Thursday !

[@sweetchildofnine6677]

Today is my first brisket on the weber and yes been watching it lol😊

[@derricktyler3577]

I really appreciate that you always include the trimming part. While this was a more odd shaped brisket for you, this is exactly what every brisket I’ve ever picked up looks like from my Costco. Seeing you trim a brisket more similar to what I usually get is super helpful and something I can bookmark and pull up when I’m trimming mine. You had a similar shaped one when yo did a Sous Vide rest brisket too (the first vid I bookmarked for trimming my local Costco briskets)

[@maxwell36]

Yes never once have I gotten a Costco brisket that looks remotely like what is commonplace in bbq vids. Awesome to see one here and how to trim it!

[@ZackofAllTradesct]

My wife just made her 1st trip to our new Costco and bought us a brisket. It's LONG and kinda narrow...haha. We'll see..

[@chrisquin9]

Finallly !! There is the brisket video. Never gets old.

[@jeremyfulton2191]

This series is the reason I bought a kettle this year! I love it so far and hopefully one day I’ll have an offset. Keep the videos coming! 🔥

[@mattro4902]

I actually did this the other day as a personal, "back to basics" and thought it turned out really well. There is something romantic about using a Weber Kettle.

[@3870TheDad]

I really appreciate your 'Bar-B-Que Education' series. If this all comes from your followers, they are searching in the right place. Thanks.

[@willow514]

Got my first Weber Kettle not too long ago and your Weber series has been a huge help.

[@smokinjaws3310]

I started with a stick burner, went to ceramic, and now have several Weber Kettles. I am having a blast cooking on the Weber. It’s very economical to use, and the food is very good. Keep leading the way Bradley!

[@fonzi747]

Do you prefer the Weber Kettle over the Ceramic? I was sold on getting a Weber Kettle, but for winter cooks here in Canada, would be tough to maintain temps. Have been looking at biting the bullet and and buying a Kamado Joe. Just not sure I will get the same cook as a kettle, Brad makes them look so damn good!

[@smokinjaws3310]

@@fonzi747 I have 2 Primo ceramic smokers and 1 green egg Minimax. The ceramics are very good at holding temps. The Weber runs fairly true as well. You would enjoy the game. I have family up in Calgary. Beautiful area.

[@fonzi747]

@@smokinjaws3310 Calgary is a stunning spot! Thanks for the info and tips!

[@jonnyreach8345]

I've cooked dozens of briskets on my Webers and I'm always blown away at what you can achieve on such a small grill. I get more consistency out of briquettes and a longer cook time. I also love the B&B char logs. I can easily get 12-14 hours on a single load of charcoal. I'm going to try the foil boat next time.

[@jamesguest4873]

Foil boats rule so be prepared for glory. Be careful when you're probing or you'll have a mess on your hands right quick fast and in a hurry. Been there.

[@huckinator]

I did my first foil boat a few weeks ago and have to say it was my favorite between butcher paper and foil. Superior bark!

[@stewstephenson6236]

Great video…. The sound of the crickets brings me back

[@joaoleite8451]

To the point, no chit chat, love it. Had a lot of doubts if smoked brisket was possible without an actual smoker, but that looks straight up beautiful. Will start making my own right now on a Weber. Salute from Brazil.

[@gus5417]

You inspired me to get into bbqing. I bought my self a smoker. Now I got myself a webber kettle. Love your videos. Thanks

[@jeffwainwright7381]

The one thing I can't understand... They show the meat, they talk about the weight, they show prepping and seasoning... Now the kicker, some show the charcoal, the amount/placement of charcoal, the lighting of charcoal, but few will explain their vent setting (top & bpttom) or what they may have changed their vent setting to, or how far (time) into the cook they may have changed settings to... No problem for me, but beginners are trying to grasp every bit of info they can before they take a leap of faith and start their own learning curve trial & error

[@echoechoecho7142]

Ive noticed that as well on all the channels, and 99% of videos, just always key details left out. These vids are surely a big help, but feels like we need real life teachers we can chat with, or as you say, just tons of trial and error.

[@fustelias]

I think that may be because vent settings are dependent on your environment and the type of charcoal you use.

[@danielalbornoz9081]

​@fustelias thats very true rain, moisture, summer, winter ect all change it your best bet is to move the vents incrementally to adjust the heat if yiu want more heat open them up if you want less close them, if you went more but youve already opened them all the way and it wont climb temps add more coal make sure you use a leaf blower like he did to stop it producing that really thick smoke when adding coals otherwise the meat will be to smokey i would check every 30min the temps if you just made an adjustment check back in 15 to see if you got the results you wanted

[@robblas5535]

You basically start to open or close the top vents depending on the temp you’re reading. Have the dampers on the brisket side so it doesn’t read then charcoals heat. And the lower you want the temp slowly close the dampers.

[@ClaytonWillisMusic]

Noticed this is as well, massive piece of info left out.

[@lbowsk]

I did an amazing 14 pounder last week on my Webber. Minimal trim. 300-325 for five hours. Spritzed when required. Then wrapped in BP and back on for another 4. Then in a cold oven for 90 mins. It was phenomenal.

[@keegannjk1]

Brad, as a MA resident we could really use your skills in the Northeast. BBQ Arrakis up here. Great see a New Hampshire boy become an adopted son of the Lone Star state!

[@Dan-fc1nc]

There are a few spots in New England. There are even a few pit builders popping up here-n-there. For your BBQ fix. I would start with Hoodoo Brown in Ridgefield CT. Worth the trip.

[@Moohasha1]

I love this guy's energy!

[@deanvoss7098]

Just got my new CHUDS charcoal chimney... I watch every single video of yours. FOIL BOAT brisket is a game changer!! 💗

[@222hooks]

Just getting into Weber kettle bbqing, turned out a decent Pork Butt yesterday, gonna try this next weekend. Thanks for the vid, great info and entertaining! Much appreciated.

[@beatbenders]

I recently did my first foil boat on the Kettle at 170. Pulled it at 200. And wrapped in butcher paper with tallow for a 12 hour rest. I like this way the best. Gives me amazing bark, protects the sides from the fire, and the wrap gives back some of that moisture. Thanks for all your vids! I’ve watched them all!!

[@BruceWayne-rb1mb]

Im struggling with the rest. What is the ideal internal temp when you know it has rested fully? Did you rest it in a cooler, or oven at a certain temp? The timing is also a struggle with me as I need a general time to start the brisket process in order to be ready to serve by 12pm for lunch time. Any help and detail would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@Mcole456]

I bought the exact same setup you’re cooking on after watching this series several time. Best purchase I’ve made in a while! So much fun to cook on and everything has tasted great! Want to try a brisket on it soon, done ribs and pork butt, have got the stones to do a brisket yet

[@jowpopper790]

Great video, informative, entertaining, and just the right length. No bs so I subscribed to your channel.

[@Freshiz325]

Thank you for always showing the trimming. It's appreciated

[@hogzillabbqshow9105]

Awesome, you do a great job of trimming and explaining that brisket!!! Probably the best I have seen. BB

[@mychaelramirez9613]

The skills on this guy!

[@b01tact10n]

Thats what I learned to smoke with and still use my weber as a smoker. I gotta thing about keeping my temp steady and exactly 225-235. Fire/temp maintenance part of cooking is the best part for me👍👍

[@natem77]

Did someone say "Weber Kettle series"?!?! Yes please, more of these!

[@TheDarknessBane]

I gotta say, I had to try this method when my drum smoker thermometer failed and felt confident after watching this video. My tel-tru shit out on me after many years, and wouldn't re-calibrate when I tried. Threw it on the weber kettle and it came out phenomenal. Thanks for demonstrating this method! \m/

[@diegus012]

Dude, your videos are out of control! The trimming part alone is worth it’s time in gold, not to mention the cooking tips specific to the kettle. Well-earned sub!

[@jaymorano9349]

I love you are doing Weber Kettle videos now! The pellet game is taking over it seems but I love the charcoal and old school cook on the kettle.

[@BrianF.1969]

I bought my first weber kettle last year and really wish I had bought it years sooner. It's so versatile and holds temps great for longer cooks. I still want a small 20" or so diameter offset though. The weber has really inspired me and giving me the confidence to get the offset. If I could find the steel I'd build one. I have a mig welder.

[@yazpik]

Chud's "guarache style" trim, love it!

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Thanks for that! Weber kettles are the best, they are so versatile! I could afford other means of smoking but I choose my Weber Kettle!

[@MultiSkuz]

Literally using this video to cook my 2nd attempt at brisket! Its been in 3 hours and i just want to eat it now! =)

[@ToneeBologna.]

Blowing on the coals to give it a little boost should be fire management 101 for the Webber but damn I never thought of that!! Such a pro tip dude it really helped me out!

[@Mopsink]

absolutely amazing Bradley!

[@blakeumthun8128]

This series just keeps pulling at the heart strings! I just got back into the 'ol Weber kettle after a 20 year break, I finally did my 1st low and slow last weekend. A nice big rack of ribs with the simple SPG rub. They may have been the tastiest ribs I've cooked to date. I even did a 2nd rack on my pellet smoker (using a store bought rub) to compare and the flavor was so much better on the Weber. I tend to just stick with reverse searing, hot/fast and short cooks, under 1-1/2 hours. Now that I'm figuring out how to dial it in, I may just try brisket on it.

[@adrianschonbachler]

Smoked a meatloaf on my Weber kettle tonight. Unbelievably good. Love my kettle

[@pedroarellano4266]

I haven't made a brisket on my Weber with the Slow N Sear yet, but I've done about everything else. I am SUPER happy with the Weber and the Slow N Sear purchase. I Couldn't be more pleased with them Thanks for turning people onto using the Weber. Too many people think you have to invest in a big smoker and tons of gear to make good BBQ. You da Man!

[@johnjordan1357]

Hey Bradley, I really enjoy the Weber kettle series, hope you keep it up.

[@miguelserna793]

Smoked my first brisket 30 years ago on a Webber kettle. I’ve had multiple smokers since (New Braunfels offset, Masterbuilt Electric and 100 gl custom stick burner), but I still smoke the single brisket on my kettle. So easy, so efficient and very compatible with smoking style. I do hot and fast and when I have time, lo and slow. They all come out great.

[@TheFatbwoi]

Love this guy , another great video

I am doing half a brisket point on my weber i got for $35. Using lump charcoal and the snake method though. So far its working well!

[@Josh-nq6lh]

This Weber series is absolute gold. I just happened to buy a Weber Kettle about a month before you started the series.

[@Cantinatollo1]

Young man, great video with lots of detail. I'm going to try this on my 22" Weber kettle tomorrow morning. I've got a 5 pound brisket I purchased last month on my trip to the Lubbock HEB store. Thank you for sharing!!

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

You know what you’re doing. Great looking brisket! I’m a pellet grill fan myself, and use mine for like 95% of my cooks but I do have a kettle as well and it’s amazing to see what you can do with them.

[@richardgarcia7631]

Bradley! Thanks again for all you teach on the channel. Your point about not needing a premium cooking device is spot on. Your channel and Mr. Yoder and taught me a ton about BBQ. I've had a Weber since 2012 and upgraded to an Old Country Pecos in spring 2021. Making splits the right size has been the game changer on the offset. I plan to be in Austin on June 18th for a UFC card. Lmk some bbq spots. We're hitting Leroy and Lewis and Franklin's (if we wake up in time). If I can't make those two where should I go?

[@lognload]

Another primo video, love it.

[@mikeschwartz6433]

I love my kettle and slow n sear. Got me through those long Covid summers. I recently bought a pellet smoker simply for the convenience. My first brisket turned out pretty good, but the crust did not compare to what you can get from a kettle.

[@gravedig1990]

I did the same and sold my pellet cooker about 3 months after I bought it. It couldn’t compare to my Weber.

[@niemo118]

My long cooks start on my Weber, then when wrapped, move to the pellet grill. I know they can come inside to the oven, but I'd rather not heat up the whole house in the summer with a 250 degree oven running all day. When I'm feeling extra lazy, the pellet grill is still a viable option for the whole cook.

[@mikeschwartz6433]

@@niemo118 great idea!

If yall don’t know how to maintain temps there’s a new adapter that helps control your heat on your Webber kettle , is called spider venom ! Was able to coock a brisket , turkey , ham and sides last year for thanksgiving and everything came out great ! All in 24 hours . 250$ I believe , but super worth it.

With all these Weber Kettle series videos has made me want a Weber kettle grill. Good thing Father’s Day is coming up. I can use that as an excuse to my wife to buy one. I currently own a PitBoss Lexington and it does great for just smoking for two people but doing brats and burgers I just think a Weber Kettle could do so much better. Didn’t even think about a brisket until this video on a Weber Kettle.

[@RossPotts]

@7:20. Damn. I thought I had discovered some kind of secret hack when I decided to finish my meats in the oven. It also is good for when you are smoking fish. Get a good heavy smoke for about an hour, then finish in the oven for a perfect Holiday morning food course. (If you keep smoking fish, especially brined, it tends to get REALLY salty and bitter)

[@benjamincobb4168]

Love it! I'm gonna be trying out the bone-in pork shoulder on my kettle grill this weekend! Have you ever thought about cold-smoking some barley malt, then brewing a beer with it (I saw your mash paddle in a previous episode :D), then cooking something with said smoky beer?
