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.
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.
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

i liked the last part when you grabbed the beer. lol
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???
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.
man that beer smells good hmm hmm hmmmm
good tips! thx! ^^
i have never seen a desk for your weber otg like that in germany. from where do you got it?
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
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

Smart Man – the BEER is the BEST PART!

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