The Weber Ranch Kettle Charcoal Grill is a beast. This was my first time seeing it and I was really impressed. This Barbecue Grill can feed an army. If you are looking for a large smoker or grill that can feed the masses, this may jut be the Grill for you.
With the Slow 'N Sear accessory you can turn your Kettle Grill into an easy to manage smoker. The Slow 'N Sear comes in many sizes, so if you have a regular size Kettle Grill, or this big one, Adrenaline Barbecue Company has you covered.

I love my 26" OTG Weber. I can't believe the size and mass of the Rancher! I'd go broke if I owned one. I would be on an endless mission trying to fill it up!

I hear you. I thought my 26 was big. I got set straight quick

This was great! Mike got the Slow N Sear for the Ranch! I use my Ranch all of the time when cooking for the extended family. How did I not see this sooner!

All I could think about was how small this grill makes my 22" look and feel. Plus I can hear you now laughing, lol. That's a perfect grill for a party. Nice behind the scenes video bro. A big thumbs up to living the dream!

That is HUGE! Glad you got to be a part of that video shoot! Major star power right there! The Ranch Kettles seem awesome for commercial applications but are priced fairly high for many residential backyard barbecue guys. However, they are priced about the same Kamado’s yet offer a lot more cooking room! Great video Lyle!

@NoHippieBBQCooking 6 жыл бұрын

I have bought a lot of smokers and grills on craigslist. I think Mike said he got it for $900 on there. That's still a lot of money.

@BigLewBBQ 6 жыл бұрын

No Hippie BBQ & Cooking not in my budget, but if it was I would buy a Ranch Kettle before buying a Kamado.

@mike9779 6 жыл бұрын

I snagged it for $600 when I lived in Scottsdale, AZ. I didn't even have room on my patio so it landed on a friends patio for a while. I figured at that price if I didn't end up using it I could sell it for a little more than I paid. Now that I am in Denver I have plenty of space for it and it's in regular rotation now.

Great video about two really nice products. I just purchased a Weber Ranch at a very good price. However, Adrenaline Barbecue Company no longer stocks the Slow 'n Sear model for the Weber Ranch. I emailed them and they advised that they don't have any plans to make any in the future. I realize that they probably won't sell many of these, but to feature it in a video in July, and then say they have no plans to make any more in October?

Man that is a big azz Weber kettle. Back when I was stationed in Dover, Delaware I had a friend who had one of those, got it for a real good price, someone had returned it to the Base Exchange. We cooked on that beast all day, I would love to have one of those just to add to the grill collection. You could cook a small pig on that monster. Cool video Lyle.

Personally I would say the Ranch. I have never used the Summit, but I know someone that has one, and he doesnt feel that he gets more out of the summit than his regular kettle

@mike9779 6 жыл бұрын

That's a great question Troy. I just did my first KCBS competion over the weekend. With the summit (which I do really want), it would be tough to fit a brisket and a few butts which is exactly what I did on my Ranch Kettle at the comp. I think trading out a 22" performer for a Summit would be a better comparison.

He uses it more to smoke than grill. He used an attachment called the slow n sear. Or you could just get some bricks or something to keep the charcoal on one side. He uses a thermometer with a few probes to monitor grate and food temp. He is the founder of a facebook page called kettle cookers. You should check it out

A one touch system, a kamado style top vent, heavy duty hinge for the lid, gaskets for a tight seal, and a more modular grill grate system would make this a killer grill. Even then though, the price should be closer to half what it is
