The amount of coals for any Weber grill I think should cover half the grating. I like to slope the coals up to the outside of the grill. If your cooking for too many people get the larger grill. Buy putting coals on just one side for pork,burgers,& chicken. You can seer the meat over the coals then use the side without coals as indirect heat to finish the cooking yes it takes a bit longer but with some practice you'll master this method.Regulate the heat buy opening the vents to get hotter.
Thanks. I just learned the coals to one side method recently when I cooked chicken that ended up tasting delicious. I just seared it on the hot side side then placed them on the other/indirect heat side.
I have been using natural lump mesquite charcol in mine lately. It gives it a really good smokey taste. Last night I did bone-in chicken thighs with fresh smoked salt, crushed pepper, fresh moist pepperica from marroco, fresh crushed red pepper, fresh garlic powder, and fresh onion powder. No safeway spices. Everything fresh. It was amazing!!
That's right. I've been cooking with nearly half the charcoal lately. I have to say high heat cooking has its own taste that you can't get with less coal. I don't know what it is, maybe the ash. Hahaha. It's a waste to use too much coal.
believe it or not you CAN reuse old charcoal. Just choke the air vent off when you are finished and they are good to go, depending on how much they are burned down.
Hmmm burnt ribs......mate, put some oil on the grill to stop them sticking - move the coals to one side (using less) and slow it down. Then go buy a smokinator :)
Oh the ashy yumminess. :) They did get a bit overdone and I blame having to hold the camera while grilling. After scraping the ashy parts off it was pretty delicious. There's something to be said about high heat cooking -- the meat remains firm compared to slow barbeque where the meat becomes like butter (different but good and very popular). The Smokey Mountain Cooker is serious.
Hey Joe, I use the 22 1/2 inch Weber. I've been using the Weber coal chimney starter w/ their fire cubes to start the coal. Looks like your place is big enough... get a 22 1/2, and use the Joe for tailgating. You'll love it! Use some soaked wood chips for a great flavor push.
Thanks. I have been using less charcoal lately to get a more smokey flavor. There are some recipes that require high heat to get the ashy flavor versus the smokey flavor.
Oh boy, does that meat sound nice!

I love my smokey joe.. but IMO here.. you really don't need that many coals.. that's enough for a 22.5 weber.

Looks tasty as hell! I'm going to get me a Weber Performer and this will be the first thing I'm going to try! Kudos

Weber is awesome. I was cooking on a full size gas grill for 10 years and the Smokey Joe blows it away in taste.

@joefileman I like to do drumsticks on my smokey Joe. And I add hickory chips for extra flavor ;)

Ok. Thanks. The Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker looks cool too. I've seen some videos of people cooking up delicious meat with it.

Use about 1/2 to 1/4th less charcoal and grill them. What you did was burn them. Happy grilling!
