Food, Drink & Dining Out Kettle BBQ

[Richo is God]

I'm keen to start doing some Texas style BBQ brisket, ribs etc. I've been looking at the Weber Kettle, I've found it on Amazon for around half the price of buying it locally. Does anyone have one of these and would you be able to tell me the difference between the Gold and Silver models?

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Also keen for info on this!

Remember these things from the 80's, my pop had one, too young to remember what they were like.

this is from the website

The One-Touch Gold has all the features that made the One-Touch Silver world famous but instead of an open ash catcher it has a saucepan-like ash catcher that stops ashes blowing around.

I personally find brisket over rated.
Would do beef ribs, pork and lamb shoulders and Ox Tri tip over brisket.

Still good though

Bought a kettle 12 months ago and have used it 3 times a week every week. Haven't cooked on a gas BBQ since. Real BBQ'ing as they say.

I find it is all about the charcoal. Try and get Red Gum from BBQ Galore's if you can.

Once you've got it under control it's a fantastic tool.

I just bought a Weber Go Anywhere off gum tree. Brand new other than a bent handle.
Haven't used it yet

 

[PastiesPeake]

How much do they for? Capacity?

 

[Lach72]

I got mine for 50 bucks. They're about 115 in the shops.
They're a small rectangular one. Good for small cooks like steaks etc and perfect for satay/kebabs

Where do you get your charcoal from? What sort of coal do you prefer.

I ask this because the bags of sh1t that I am using now imparts the most unpalatable flavour. I used to get bags of red gum from BBQ's Galore, but they have halved the bag size and doubled the price.

I'm getting it from Masters at the moment.
This one.

Don't know what wood, but it tastes good.

Use them and heat beads

Does the Silver have a hinged grill too? This is great for putting in smoking chips and adding more coals, you don't have to take the whole thing off. I've got a one touch Gold, it's great.

And listen to Lach72, campaigner knows his s**t.

Bought my Weber Silver after a few recommendations on another thread on this forum about a year back. Had never used charcoal before but safe to say it was a great purchase, absolutely love it.

Silver has the hinged grill as well, its a really solid model.
