weber kettle mods

Let's see some of the various setups we all use for cooking low-n-slow on a kettle. A large cast iron pan with charcoal around the edges, I like to put lump over briquettes, and the wood goes on top. Foil balls to hold up cast iron pizza pan. Water in skillet. Cast iron pizza skillet...

Yesterday, I let the Weber indirect magic do it's thing on a 10lb bag of leg quarters by putting to use a couple of small rib racks. The legs were done in only about an hour and I got the best skin ever. However, I ran into an issue I haven't had on my kettles or wsm cooking low-n-slow. My...

I'm going steelhead fishing this weekend and am charge of grub for one night. I have two racks of pork spares I'm considering taking to feed me and my BIL. He has a 22.5" Weber kettle at his place I would use. I've never done ribs on a kettle, but I'm sure a bunch of your farkers have. I'm...

I haven't used my gas grill for about 3 years other than using the side burner to light my chimney. I didn't want to get rid of the gas grill because it was a gift from the in-laws, so I decided that I was gonna gut it and make it a charcoal grill or scrap the grill and use the frame for a cart...

Ok been thinking about this for quite a while, but I finally put it together and gave it a whirl. I know that there are already commonly used and very effective indirect methods for the Kettle, but I wanted to come up with something that could extend burn times and also possibly increase the...

Guys- is the minion method the best way to go for ribs on my kettle? If so, how many lit coals should I start with, and how many underneath? Any tips would be appreciated...

I was wanting to build my own cart for my 22" Weber kettle similar to that of a Weber Performer. I was thinking those SS wire shelves with casters you see at Sam's might be a good place to start. Anyone have any pictures of a similar project? Thanks.

i am looking to buy a weber performer and i was looking at the iq110 and it says that it will mount to it....well i understand on how it will mount onto the WSM down at the bottom with the daisy wheel vent, but the performer vent on the bottom has the three oblong vents.. am i not under standing...

First off, never smoked on a kettle before. Second, I'm on vacation and using the condo kettle so no permanent mods. Also, the chimney didn't make the flight so I have to improvise. Here are pics so far, starting two pork picnics tonight, each around 7#. more pics tonight when I fire up, stay...

New to this kind of cooking --- hoping for some advice. Planning to grill ribs on a 22.5" Weber kettle. Rib rack, indirect method, with Kingsford blue charcoal & a chunk of green apple wood on each side for quality smoke. Question: what is best way to keep fire(s) burning for the 4-5 hrs...

Happy Friday everybody! I'm looking for some tips/info with pics hopefully showing me your typical charcoal/wood setup for your 4-6 hour smokes. I usually fire almost 1 full chimney full of either lump or kingsford until ashed, pour into one side of the kettle, set a water pan on the...

I'm looking for a mod which will allow me to place the transmitter unit on a small metal shelf bolted to the grill's bowl. I superglued magnets to the back of the transmitter unit (which I hope will not screw with the unit's functioning), and intend to let it stick to the metal shelf during...

So this last year I really stretched my legs and got after brisket and shoulder on my Webers. The results were very good. Keep in mind I don't have the room for a bunch of kettles AND a WSM (I would love to win the lottery and have some cheesy Raichlen setup on a hill somewhere). Knowing the...

Here's my version of the "frankenweber". After doing a bunch of online research and seeing how other people have made these I borrowed the ideas I liked, made a few tweeks and here's what I ended up with. The goal of this project is to make a wood burning pizza cooker that will cook pizzas at a...

My NanoQ arrived friday, and I began my quest: the final mod of my 22.5 Weber kettle. It had been a long process. I started by changing out the stock grate for a cast iron replacement. From there, I bought a high quality themostat/temperature gauge and installed that on the lid: a much...

I don't recall this being posted, but it may have.. Still not perfect compared to a properly designed and insulated wood fired oven but this may be an option for some trying to improve pizza cooking on a Weber Kettle. http://kettlepizza.com/

Has anyone tried turning the big kettle into a mobile cooking station like the 22.5 in. Performer?

I love my Weber Kettle. We have a UDS Thread. This is the start of the Weber Kettle Appreciation Thread. What have you done with and/or to a Weber Kettle. You can also join the new Weber Kettle Appreciation Social Group...

I was searching for pics of Webers and came across this...
