Kingsford Charcoal is mostly Anthrisite coal mixed with lime for the with the familiar white when ready look and a little saw dust

Just sayin

[MaroonmeisteR]

awesome vid! I love to BBQ!

Greetings from the Netherlands

[erslar00]

great vids man, you should use the lid holder on your performer, I always use mine and it works great, you don't want to damage your lid. I also saw you do the bacon explosion in the winter... awesome.

[bigdon90]

Should I keep my vents open while cooking. I find that sometimes my charcoal doesn't burn as long as it should. Is there a video about controling the air flow while cooking?

[IcarusThe1]

very helpful! thank you. we, part of europeans, who doesnt really know how to "grill" find this video very helpful. author, maybe you have videos about how to use cheap "ufo" grills with cheap charcoal.

[8soccer4life8]

nice

[bbbhhgg]

have you tried the smokenator grill,if so how do you like it

[jenjen6shoes1]

I see that Weber makes the grill but finding it is another matter.

[jenjen6shoes1]

Hi. Can you tell me the name of the company who makes the kettle grill that you use with the table made around it? I am looking for the same model but I can't find it anywhere.

[beane2323]

[MrDeerMeat]

Smart Man - the BEER is the BEST PART!

[highwayonestrat]

great how to vid guys! i'm adding one of those weber performer's to my pit this summer!

[saechao18]

I must ask why do u put charcoal that are unlit and black on the light ones and even in some of the videos the coals are so black and un burned i whyyyy ? plz reply to my comment thanks

[BarbecueWeb]

hey @saechao18, not a problem if you use a good quality charcoal with natural binders. The Minion Method uses charcoal this way to help produce a long burning low and slow in the 225-250f range. BBQ Pit Boys

[tribun7777]

i have never seen a desk for your weber otg like that in germany. from where do you got it?

[gltu8423]

good tips! thx! ^^

[Worrall82]

man that beer smells good hmm hmm hmmmm

[kungfujellybean]

Thank you guys for this video!

I've been wanting to try out a low n' slow rack of ribs forever, but I just honestly didn't know about the chimney.

[Soundwave133]

I have a old propane char broil bbq that i use charcoal in, and use the indirect method! I find i have to use a brick cut triangular to keep the lid open a little, but i always have a hard time cooking pork chops! Ive seared them, then moved to the side, ive tried indirect, and that doesnt work? What do i do???

[gra22]

i liked the last part when you grabbed the beer. lol

[netdudeuk]

BBQ Pit Boys rule :-)

[urbz1023]

Thank you for the tips... very much appreciated!

[tylersfs]

Forgive my ignorance but I thought mody pros *hated* startet fluid, and absolutely hate the idea of slow N low cooking with Kingsford briquettes.

I'd always assumed lump and/or natural hardwood charcoal (or just plain wood chunks) were the preferred method of fuel, along with starting with a chimney or some other non-lighter fluid method of ignition.

[BarbecueWeb]

Starter fluid is just a "method of ignition", and does not affect the taste of the food if used properly.

Selection of your wood/charcoal fuel is a matter of preference and experience. Our first preference is for oak, for long burning, steady fires, especially for open fire cooking, and in large side box smokers. When using a small kettle grill and/or smoker like the WSM bullet we have no issues with the Kingsford briquette especially when we are doing a long low and slow.

[BarbecueWeb]

If you're new to low and slow, we recommend starting with a good briquette and then as you gain experience start experimenting with hardwood as your primary fuel. Of course, it's always best to choose what hardwoods are easily and cheaply available in your neighborhood. -BBQ Pit Boys

[DJKID777]

is it possible to bake (like cake n stuff ) on the bbq grilled

[EvolutionIXRR]

can i use castrol oil?

[5LAMPO7]

Slick vid guys,does the food justice,KTF.

[benshomebrew]

You're getting better at editing the videos, they are nice, clean and cut well. Good job.

[Brian7490]

great useful list

but if you got the beer, wheres the girls?!

[hddm3]

Thanks

[Imasofat]

Busch Light is ok for holding off the weight, but lets see a Dogfish Head come out of that cooler once in a while!

Smell that? oooooooweh!

[GreenManalichi]

Do you guys ever soak your wood chips? I was thinking of doing that with beer instead of water...what do you think the outcome would be?

[evanmega]

If your going to do that, use a very dark brew such as guniess. All that will happen is you'll transfer some of the flavor over. But make sure to use a dark brew, or the outcome will be the same as water.

[GreenManalichi]

Thats perfect since all I drink is Black and Tan...thnx evanmega

[evanmega]

anytime bud

[AW71]

If you want a deep smoky flavor to your meat, soak your woodchips in cold water for about an hour, then put the soaked chips on top of the hot coals....the chips will just simmer, instead of burn up outright.

If you want a subtle hint of smoke without the overpowering smoky effect, then just take a couple handfuls of chips (right out of the bag), and throw them on the coals...non-soaked in water.

[dontlikenumbers]

I have been using firewood in my grill, takes longer to get coals going but the food is still awesome.

And thanks to the Pit Boys for the great recipes, now I have to guard my grill when I am cooking.

Back yard pirate infestation.

[triunp]

I'm thinking in all those people who pays thousand of dollars in colleges, to feel happy with themselves...my point is...you can be master in whatever thing you do in your life

[agonzalez8924]

this is an awesome video... makes me feel like an amateur though. but atleast now i have a standard to look up to

[chunkylovers52]

thank you for showin me on maintaining a pit

[chunkylovers52]

you should make fajita vids

mexican vids ese lol

[yxa86]

No need to buy a bulky BBQ book . Thanks!

[englander1971]

Absolutely splendid!!!!!!!!

[PrescriptionSeven]

BBQ'n is the best way to cook in my opinion.

[bahamasartits]

thats how i cook almost everything i eat but im outta propane lol

[PrescriptionSeven]

nice. propane is a good source if used right.

[giants22]

what about the bottom vents? close half way or 3/4 for low and slow? I usually close them about 3/4??

[izik30]

Save the best for last. You can't have a good barbecue without an ice cold beer. Chef's priviledges.

[BBMoore67]

No Gas here........ that beer looks gooooood

[Raccoonraper]

BBQ pit Boys-> I love you!!

[midmojimmy]

for "low and slow" long cooking times, you'll want to close the bottom dampers also. i prefer using lump charcoal vs briquets, but its personal preference. weber makes fire cubes to start the chimney, alot less mess than using news paper and it lights instantly.

[hysterman187]

Do you always leave the bottom vents all the way open and control the heat with the lid vents? Even when cooking low and slow?

[gbogart100]

So, the more open the vents at the top the hotter the grill?

[AW71]

Yes. Remember, fire gets its life with air. Turning down the dampers restricts the airflow, so the best way to control your grill temperatures is by opening or closing your dampers (top AND bottom).

[MiSTAAAHMEK]

i want that chimney, where can i get it?

[Sho81]

Lowes, Home Depot, and Wal-mart carries them. Just call first before going in to make sure they have them in stock. Cheapest one I found was from wal-mart but it looks a little on the flimsy side from the pics.

[AlienGreyCorpse]

farm and fleet has them

[DavisKoziol]

I got mine at Lowe's, it's a weber one and it holds out pretty damn well. My bro has a cheap one, I guess it works fine too.

Something he didn't mention is you want to have an area to use it. It can ruin asphault or concrete, and just about glass the ground.

What I do is I just start it on the rack that the charcoal goes.

[DavisKoziol]

Chimneys I mean, also I have to say that it's well worth getting.

It has saved me a fortune in lighter fluid, is faster than lighter fluid in my opinion, and gives you even coals.

[DavisKoziol]

Lastly if you don't read newspapers you can use just about any paper, but they work the best.

What I do is grab one or two of the free local classified ads when they come out each week and after I've read through them I put them with my charcoal.

[DavisKoziol]

The question I'd like to aske is what is the best stick lighter to buy?

I've tried Bic and Scripto and was severely disappointed. I was tempted to buy some Kingsford ones but I don't want to waste money on them when I could use it on one that has better reviews.

[GetDamage]

wow, bic and scripto are name brands. you might want to get those torch instead.

[LennySkull]

don't buy a cheap chimney, get a weber. It will work much better, hold more coals, and won't fall apart like those cheap walmart ones

[AW71]

Lowes has some of the best BBQ equipment on the market.

[peckiledorf]

thats one cool dude!!

[Statesman02]

Any recommendations on oiling the grill before putting the food on? I usually do and it gives some really nice grill marks and keeps the food from sticking.

[iDeist]

I'm going down to the house of sausage. I've got my barbecue shoes on.......

[frank84]
