Thanks for sharing

Have an awesome day

This is Kalem by the way

That’s good it’s up and running again

Great Video

I recently acquired my grandfather's 1999 kettle. It's also a little banged up so I'm spending the time to sort out the rust issues, the dings in the metal work and clean all the years of burned on grease. She's going to get new legs, handles, ash sweepers and catcher, grills and a fresh layer(s) of heat resistant paint. It's going to a fun project.

I guess KZfaq decided to show me this 2 weeks after I was searching, trying to figure out if I could add the ash catcher to mine. 🙃 I took my 14 year old 22'' Original Kettle and added the high capacity ash catcher. Added that plus replaced the handles with new style and replaced the damper blades. $85 shipped I think was well worth it to refresh an old Kettle. I would have liked to replace the legs and leg support on mine and they are quite rusty, couldn't justify the price ($48 + $35) as they still work. P/N 7478 Webber tool hook handle P/N 80671 Lid Handle P/N 65143 22" ash catcher P/N 7444 One Touch damper blades (Cheapest on Amazon. I've replaced them several times) Use a grinder on the bottom clip/nut as to not "cut" into the bowl. The heat from the grinder also works these loose and it end up just falling apart before you grind into the bowl.

In a throwaway world, I appreciate somebody who doesn’t. Great video.

Very good video! Great information!!

​ Best info I have been able to find on using WSM and Billows! Are you still using that same method on your setup (fire opposite of billows)?

that was truly a labor of love there. I was looking for just this technique. I have tried this in the oven on a vertical still trompo. It was good, but not like when it is on a spit or when it I get it from the restaurant Sal y Limon. But I will give this a try this summer.

You can buy brand new Weber Kettles for $139. Plus sales tax. The last expensive one.

Thanks for the great tip brotha! Did this put an extra grate on top and lined it with foil and put an old baking sheet on top. Worked like a charm! This thing makes great pies once you get past the learning curve.

Very well done good job

How did you get the screws out of the handle bars to take the chasis off?

i cant get nearly that long on mine so far but i think it's because it's been fall/winter so I'm burning a lot more fuel to hold temp

Like the video. Can you tell me about your temp gauge and the shelf bracket in the side of the cooker? Thanks.

very similar to a british scorpio broom , potential to be a nice classic

I like this method. It makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

Super! Some excellent info there. Thanks.

From a Mexican American, I really like your take on Tacos Al Pastor!

Thank you for doing this video. I’m going to buy this rotisserie/pizza kit

Where did you buy those metal trusses?

That car port a very nice build..love it . Thanks for the tutorial

Did you buy the iron parts if so please link them

The bottom cups are for a board also to keep the truss straight up

And every time a neighbor helps the old woman in his neighborhood fix a slightly broken BBQ pit instead of walking away with it for free, an angel rejoices.

😎👍🏻👍🏻

Nice work my friend .

Where did you get the trusses and cost?

Very interesting

Its vapor Lock also called heat sink

Great job. Same problem. Thanks 😊

Nice!!!!!

Nice color on the ribs!!! Lumps seem to burn a lot cleaner than briquettes as the ribs aren't as dark.

My bad. Probably should have watched the whole video before commenting hay 😂

The letter code on your lid damper indicates what year your weber is made. From 1979 it started with ab A stamed on it. Just google weber age and the list will come up.

Thank you! I'll try it😅

One great thing about Weber equipment, you can get parts & support for their products going back 40 years! It is cheaper than you may think plus you come away with a still high performing machine which will feed everyone of us & if you have a family, them too! You just have to take some deep inspection of yourself to understand to appreciate what these simple machines do for us & give them some periodic simple maintenance. (Give them some hard earned LOVE! Weber kettle cookers & many others need to be maintained!)

You did good!!!

I have a Hunsaker for my WSM and I just love it. Chicken halves turned out wonderful! I really like your content. I also appreciate that you posted the recipe long enough for me to take a snapshot or write it down. I am now subbed to your channel! I also liked and rang the bell. Look forward to watching more of your videos. This is Dave with Dabomb Smokes. Cheers, my friend!

Really enjoying your videos! Looking for ideas for my new WSM..

Cant wait to do this tomorrow evening on my new spit! Thanks for the comprehensive video bud! Cheers!

Sensor?

Great looking brisket and informative video. With all the hacks you shared I would’ve thought you’d also know the put a wet paper towel under your cutting board :)

U have done the impossible man, I’ve wrenched on my crap for 20 years now and not EVER recovered a 10mm lost to the vehicle gods. Buy some lottery tickets bruther! Nice video and thanks for the help ✌🏻

I put a temp gauge on mine and that’s the best upgrade you can do. I also ran screws in the legs at the top. Every time I would move it before the legs would fall out which was extremely annoying.

do you think the BIllows will work just as good if you just use the water pan that comes with the WSM? I am thinking of getting the billows for my 18.5 WSM.

Excellent
