Smoked Yard Bird Wings on the Weber Ranch Kettle!!!

[@1marktanderson]

Now that I’m retired I get to grill several times a week. I love checking out new techniques. Looks like a great setup for wings! 👍👍👍 I see this video came out awhile ago but I hope your daughter is doing well in college. God Bless.

[@markharp6298]

I think you get so much better results by saucing the wings while still on the grill. Delicious video!

[@bobbynester9248]

just found your videos today for the first time. I smoke and grill all the time and have been for many years. I know what I'm doing but always watch videos to see other peoples ideas and look for new ones. I also love seeing people cooking with a passion. Great job!! have enjoyed your shows and great commentary!!

[@DskiGrillz]

Thanks Bobby. Welcome to the channel!

[@rolandhayes2000]

Been grilling on my Ranch Kettle for 25 years. Love it!

[@stephenberry3839]

I just purchased the weber ranch. Your videos are my go to brother. 👍👍👍

[@Elicurren]

Your grilling setup is amazing. The ranch kettle is one of the "super cars" of grilling. 2 slow n sears! Impressive.

[@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven]

Yep, don't get much bigger than the 36inch Ranch. You can pretty much Smoke a whole Pig on the thing and still have room for roasted vegetables & pineapple salsa.

[@AAA-hv7nr]

Pretty kitchen. I appreciate well done videos. Content, presentation and clarity from sharp shots are key.

[@leoalonzo75]

Found your video today and you sound genuine, kind, and respectful!!!!!

[@DskiGrillz]

I must say, I have grill envy!! Made these today on a 22inch webber on a smaller scale, they were so good!! Great video, simple to follow!!

[@travismiles5885]

The thumbs-up at the end of every scene is killing me LOL. Totally reminds me of BBQ Pit Boys

[@noogman]

Looks delicious, can almost taste them from hear. Nice presentation!!

[@jesdrt]

My brother im doing this thus weekend see how it goes... Thank you for taking the time much love and respect! For the people by the people!

[@jojojaykay]

Thanks bro. I’m thinking I should be able to do this similarly in a 26 inch kettle. Most the other videos have people setting up their coals in the middle instead of the sides, but I needed some validation to try it in the sides instead. Gonna give it a go tomorrow.

[@m.a.n.creates]

Love how you explain things! You got me interested in smoking and grilling

[@findmypeople219]

I am late, but this is VERY helpful. I am just learning and trying to find what is right for me. Thank you!

[@arnoldwelch3544]

Don"t forget to wash your hands before you pick up the jar to shake the rub on the wings.

[@sawyermontoya]

Thanks Dad

That is one massive grill Sir!! Love me some wings!! I agree with you on taking the time to put that rub on each wing. It takes a little time but weill worth it.

[@DskiGrillz]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel.

[@fredchester921]

Great video!! I'm going to try that method now with my wings. By the way, I have a cool ALTERNATIVE WAY to light a charcoal chimney. I've been doing this for years. And its much faster. Here it is: Place the chimney on the ground next to the grill. It should be a concrete surface (or use a wide brick to set it on). Turn the chimney upside down. Get two or three newspaper pages (B&W type, no color ads), then crumple them up into a wad. Push that wadded newspaper into the bottom small section of the chimney. It will hold on its own. Then drizzle a little vegetable oil on that. Let that sit for 30 seconds. Then flip the chimney over so that it sits upright. Fill the chimney with charcoal to the top. With a lit match, insert that into one or more of the holes at the bottom of the chimney. (Some newspaper ends may even be sticking out the small holes.). IMMEDIATELY the newspaper will catch fire and evenly light the bottom rack of unlit coals. Initially there will be a lot of smoke (that I like to think will inform your neighbors that, "Hey, your buddy is BBQing again!") but then the smoke will die down and the coals will be lit in no time. When there is only a little bit of smoke left, and a kind of "jet engine" of heat/flame coming up, it's ready to transfer to the grill. After adding the hot coals to the grill, and if you're cooking a lot of food, you may want to then immediately prep your coal chimney for the next round. As before, set it up, but don't light it. When as some point the heat is coming down, as the coals are consumed, light up the coal chimney! -- HAPPY BBQing! Great video.

[@DskiGrillz]

Awesome lighting technique. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@spillsndebris]

Enjoying your videos and you've sold me on the Weber Ranch.

[@DskiGrillz]

spillsndebris It’s a great grill especially if you cook for larger crowds! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@CompleteCarnivore]

Looks awesome! I use that same setup in my Ranch with 2 SNS XLs for my big brisket cooks. Love that 3 of them can fit on the Ranch at once. For wings I push the Slow n Sears together in the middle of the grill and put the wings in a ring around the edge. Similar to what you would get with a Vortex. I think the most I have fit on there doing it that way is 120 wings. Great job!

[@DskiGrillz]

I need to try the method of putting the sins in the middle. Great idea. I might do this on the 4th.

[@GettingAids1997]

I found this rub a few months ago and it is THE BEST for chicken

[@rossydee]

Big fan from Aus! Keep up that passion

[@DskiGrillz]

Thank you!

[@rossydee]

@@DskiGrillz you know your confident cooking your wings when your wearing socks in slides haha. Awesome mate. I’m cooking these exactly style wings with rub etc this Friday !

[@412chun]

Thanks man! This video was helpful and looking forward to my next cookout to smoke some wangs.

[@rainking9897]

2 Slow n Sears. Nice idea. I have started to use stainless steel kabob sticks to stick my wings on. I can get about 8 per stick. That way i can flip 8 at one time. Great video Brother!

[@DskiGrillz]

Rainking Great idea.

[@dougharlow6037]

Boy you would think that a $1400.00 grill would have a thermometer. Definitely a party monster. Thanks for the video.

[@michaelmilitello5644]

A lid thermometer would be next to useless. I have a ranch. The grill it too big. You’d need multiple lid thermometers to be of any use. Plus the lid is way hotter than grate level.

[@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven]

Yeah, on a smaller 22inch to 24inch Grill a lid Tapped Thermometer would come in handy. But with a 36inch monster that the Ranch is...it would be highly inaccurate and would need like 3 of them bolted on the lid. Instead you need to run with a Grate clip thermometer and a meat prob to get the most accurate readings.

[@zman8340]

Damn you killed it man . Awesome job . So jealous of the ranch . Please please do the pig video .

[@DskiGrillz]

Thanks!

[@Rbouch]

Great to see a cook on the ranch kettle!!! Wings looked amazing!!!

[@Begohan1234]

You did everything almost exactly how I would do it and those wings looked amazing but I got a couple friendly tips for you that you gotta try! Don't be afraid to have both vents wide open, 400+ degrees just means faster cooked wings, juicier wings, and crispier. On my 26 I use just a full chimney and let it rip 400+ degrees and I find the hotter the better, the wings cook so fast that they don't have time to burn the sugar in the rub Pat your wings dry with paper towel/let them be uncovered in your fridge overnight to dry out the skin. Adding oil is kind of counterproductive to getting crispy skin and the dryer the skin the better - the rub still sticks! And flats cooked to 203f like a brisket are to die for! They become fall apart juicy and tender at that temp and they're by far the best texture, if you have a good instant read thermometer like a thermapen, checking them should be simple enough! Also less smoke wood is more when it comes to poultry and especially something that's an inch thick like wings. You put enough smoke wood in there to do an entire brisket and most of it burned up within the first 15 min I'm sure. I really want that ranch kettle though I'm jealous of your ability to cook 80+ huge flats like that with ease, I can only fit 50ish smaller ones on my 26.

[@DskiGrillz]

Begohan1234 Great tips! Thanks for sharing. I will definitely give it a shot on my next wing cook!!

[@Begohan1234]

[@lawrencehenderson2769]

The fonzi style thumbs up after each part means it's official!!! True Dad mode

[@lynnkramer1211]

My chicken wings all come with flats and drums. I want you to list the ingredients in the rub. I know it is proprietary but everything sold in America have ingredient lists and I don't need all that salt, and I would bet that I already have all the spices that I need to combine. Give us all a break and don't keep that a secret. That is an awesome grill. I only have a 27" so I will just have to make due. I just love how you didn't need to flip the wings! I think that is genius. I want to come back when you do the whole pig cook.

[@Chris-wp3ew]

Yardbird is my favorite! I keep trying others and always come back

[@DskiGrillz]

It is a great rub!

[@asal4429]

Still enjoy this video a year later. Reminds me how easy it is to do great wings.

[@Charlielauer]

Hey D fellow ranch owner. Good set up on the cook, and great video skills (camera and editing). Two notes to consider: 1. Spacing the wings to get some more air flow, will crisp the skin some more. we got the real estate :) 2. I see some flack about cross contamination. Sadly They’re right :( Wearing a glove and doing the one clean hand (for rub tools etc) and one glove hand or meat hand for touching the raw works well.

[@DskiGrillz]

Thanks for the feedback Charlie! Have a great weekend. The love the Ranch Kettle and appreciate your tips! Take care
