How to Adjust Your Weber Kettle Grill Temperatures

[@darickoverton4413]

Bro you did a great job on this video, went out and made the proper adjustments and hit 275 in 15 minutes. THANKS FOR THE TIP 👍🏽

Glad it helped! Happy grilling!

Good advice. For beginners, I would mostly just focus on the bottom vent, without messing with the top vent too much. You could open the top 1/4 for low and slow, or set at 3/4 for burgers or chicken or whatever, then leave it alone and just focus on the bottom vent - while trying not to open the lid too frequently. I'd also add, controlling the temp is more critical on long cooks - low and slow BBQ, or maybe a Turkey at higher temps. If you are grilling chops or chicken or burgers or dogs - 300 degrees is not that different from 375. Just use a meat thermometer and you will get good results.

I’m a big kettle cooker. Came across your channel and immediately subscribed. Awesome video. You obviously know what you’re talking about. Looking forward for more content.

Thanks for the sub! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.

I really like your BBQ videos Please keep making them I also recommend buying sns kettle and doing a review on it

[@tomwadek]

Thanks! Hopefully sns contacts us to send us a unit. Would love to give it a test drive.

I have a Performer and love it. Only thing that’s missing is an adjustable grate. I’ve considered a Hasty Bake in the past. Have you ever had experience with one? Seems the best of all worlds. Direct, indirect, low and slow.

[@tomwadek]

I haven’t but it sounds interesting. Performers are great grills, happy grilling.

Once you get ur temp how u want it then u open lid to put meat on pit how do u get the temp back without messing up the meat

[@tomwadek]

Do it as quickly as possible. The less time the lid is up the better. Your temp should setting back to where you need it if you close the lid within 10-20sec

Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. How will you cook a pork picnic shoulder (pernil) in the Weber Kettle?

[@tomwadek]

I would put it on a rotisserie over Fogo lump charcoal 😎

I have the Master-Touch GBS Premium E-5775. And its literately impossible to do temp control. It's even so bad that when I close the top and bottom vents to make the fire go out, it just keeps burning till the briquettes are as good as gone. Which means, according to me, air is still getting inside. My little original weber kettle doesn't have this issue at all. very dissapointed!!!! Do you have any ideas about this issue too?

[@tomwadek]

Yes, I had the same issue with my mtp. Turned out to be an out of round lid and Weber sent me a new top lid. Check out this video for the details. Weber Master Touch Premium | 6 Month Updated Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2a4qYedqZiLfLs
