Weber Kettle
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Kettle or WSM all day.
- Lump charcoal on my Weber kettle, tri tip needed about 2 minutes per side to really get the colour I was after.
- Lane’s Sweet Heat Rub, 165f for 12 hours then finished on my Weber Kettle around 275 until I was happy with the colour
- I think I'll keep the Kettle around though -- works pretty well as a smoker in the summer
- I don't have an Air fryer, just a Weber Kettle that can get to 550-600F. Pretty much the same thing I think. That flavour is beyond exceptional!
Cons
- I didn't research Kettle and shields before buying. Definitely regret that. I just wanted a 6th player.
- Shut the vents mostly closed in bottom and top cause those Weber kettles are leaky, especially if it’s old.
- Grilling is no different than a Weber kettle.
- You can get some great tasting meat smoking off the kettle like this - it’ll taste better than pellets and not hard to do. The biggest negative is you can fit a lot of food on there ( though you can get a couple racks of ribs and I’ve go...
- I want to use my Weber kettle extended great to hold ground chuck roast with tri tip trimmings ran through the grinder over my cast iron Dutch

A Weber kettle set up with snake or indirect is a great way to get started.
Let them rest for 10 minutes then seared them over charcoal in my Weber Kettle
If you’re mostly cooking with just 2 of you, a Weber Kettle produces really good smoked food but at smaller amounts.
