    I always refer to your videos over all the others out they’re. It’s great to see an Australian know about an American dominated bbq. Your instructions have opened up a new world of delicious meals. You present well and you’re extremely easy to follow. Thank you so much.

    Lol lighting the charcoal with the gas side burner 😂 what a flex, I love it 😂😂
  • @jhpfmj
    First time Weber owner here. Thank you for the tips. I'm definitely going to use the charcoal snake
  • @chelea3183
    Thanks to your video I just learned what the metal grates in my Dad's shed are: charcoal rails. Time to dust them off and try using them.
  • @nzguysports869
    Very good demonstration for those doing different cooks on a kettle bbq, well done 👍
  • @danielbotev6365
    Just got a Weber kettle. Now I need to get the little charcoal baskets too. 😅 there’s always more toys to get
  • @KCGrandpa
    This is really the most important part of charcoal grilling. People always freak out on why is my grill running so hot. It's because you lit too much charcoal. Really great content. Keep it up.
  • @sidesw1pe
    Mate your content is excellent, I've been watching bbq/grill vids for a long time and yours are right up there with the good ones imo.
  • @edim108
    Your vids greatly improved my BBQ game! Not a lot of BBQ knowledge where I live- in Poland BBQ is something you do on May holidays as an excuse to drink yourself unconscious... It's great to learn how to make actually good food with the Weber I have.
  • @Cookontherun7391
    We use the snake method all the time for roasts, turkey, duck, ribs and brisket. Best BBQ ever. Thanks for the other tips especially the vortex.
  • @dawnslipper
    Love the propane burner chimney starter idea. Of course! But, I had not thought of it!
  • @venuesurfamerica9840
    Thank you, sir. I just started the snake method with a brisket. I can't wait to eat it! Thanks, especially, for your venting advice.
  • @kevindavidson8314
    Found your videos when looking for tips for doing some smoking on my Weber, loads of info and makes me a lot more confident of attempting my first smoked brisket. Just got to hope the weather plays ball in Scotland 🙏😂
  • @outdoor044
    I've done the snake method twice with brisket, worked great. One tip though, you may want to lay some foil over the portion of the unlit snake that the brisket may be laying over. First time I did it some juice dripped onto that part of the snake so later when the burn got to those they were soaked and didn't light. Otherwise if you cover those you're good to go, just uncover them when the burn is getting close to them and obviously you'll be moving the brisket away from those at that point to avoid direct heat.
