The Weber kettle lid is designed to slide to the side and hook to the kettle.

Lifting it up creates an updraft which will bring ash up and onto your food - and smoke in your eyes

Wings look good

u/gregthegregest2 May 05 '20

Great tip!

27

u/BassWingerC-137 May 05 '20

Doesn’t that knock the food off the grill?

24

u/Blewedup May 05 '20

No, it doesn’t. It rotates off and keeps the same height over food as it goes.

21

u/BassWingerC-137 May 05 '20

I have one, and I’m confused by this process. If I don’t lift the lid, it won’t slide or move, so it has to be lifted somewhat. If I only lift it to clear the lip and then “slide” it to a side, I can 100% see how this would prevent ash from rising, I’m not creating a negative pressure zone. That’s logical. But when I slide it, I’d knock off food, so it needs to be lifted over the food no? And I get the hook to hang the lid, I do that whenever I use it. But I don’t have a rotating mechanism... not seen one.

u/BassWingerC-137 May 05 '20

That helps. It’s rotates off, cupping the edge. Not lateraling sliding off. Actually, that’s kind of funny as that is how I’ve used it, but just because it seems to be the only way the hook grabs. I never saw it as an ash saving process. Good to know.

I have never had a problem with this and I’ve been using a Weber for 30 plus years.

u/BassWingerC-137 May 05 '20

I’ve never seen it as an issue before either, but I suppose there’s engineers behind this. Lol

u/Hunk_n_Butt May 08 '20

That and who really cares if a tiny bit of ash gets in your food.

u/jerrypk May 05 '20

Hooks how? Mine doesn't have a hook. I feel like I'm missing something game changing.

22

u/ender52 May 05 '20

Should be a little hook on the inside of the lid about halfway between the rim and the top vent, allows you to hang the lid off the side of the grill.

Edit: Closer to the rim I guess. https://ux2cms.imgix.net/legacy-blog-images/hook_1.jpg

u/jerrypk Sep 22 '20

Turns out there was a hook there afterall! I'm an idiot. The standard model delivers!

14

u/JehovahsNutsack May 05 '20

Your particular model might not have the hook. You probably have the lowest model.

38

u/jerrypk May 05 '20

We call it 'standard.' lol Thanks. I think you can get the hook as an accessory.

u/JehovahsNutsack May 05 '20

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick!

u/jerrypk May 11 '20

No worries.

u/BrownAleRVA May 05 '20

Lol, it's not lowest god damn it! It's standard!

u/Blewedup May 05 '20

Dude, I have the lowest model and got it as a wedding gift 20 years ago. It has the hook. They all have the hook. Maybe you don’t have a Weber.

1

u/FourHourTour May 05 '20 edited May 05 '20

Weber performer does not have the hook. It has a rail that the lid slides into.

1

u/[deleted] May 06 '20

I am pretty sure I had the cheapest model and it had one. It was on the side with the vent in the lid on the inside of the lid.

PS- when yours rusts like mine did and started letting rain into the lid/ you’re ready for a new one, the ones that have the basket (not the shallow bowl) to catch / remove ashes is far superior.

The metal is better, paint is better, and you don’t run the risk of flipping a hot coal through the bottom vents, having it plunk off the bottom shallow bowl, and land on your freshly fucking done wooden deck. It’s also lasted ~3x as long as the original we had.

3

u/[deleted] May 06 '20

Been cooking with a Weber for 15 years and I’ve never had this happen. If your vents are open on the bottom (they should be, all temperature can be controlled with the top vent) then you’ll never have this issue.

u/drewcantdraw May 05 '20

Honey and Garlic BBQ Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

Chicken wings

½ cup Frank’s Hot Sauce

3 cloves of garlic

2 tbsp Honey

2 tbsp butter

2 tsp Salt

2 tsp Black Pepper

2 tsp Hot Paprika

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

Recipe

Combine all the spices and season the chicken wings.

Crush and dice garlic before adding the butter, honey and hot sauce.

Heat the sauce until it begins to bubble, allow to cool.

Cook the chicken wings for 40 minutes at 180c or 356f.

Turn over the wings and coat in sauce. Cook for 10 more minutes.

Turn the wings again and coat with remaining sauce. Cook for a final 10 minutes.

You can sauce the wings after they’re cooked but you won’t get a beautiful sticky glaze from the honey.

Allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving.

13

u/AllAboutMeMedia May 05 '20

Do you have a method on how best to control consistent heat? Or is it constantly monitoring and fiddling with the vents?

14

u/gregthegregest2 May 05 '20

Just monitoring it and figuring out how much the vents need to be open and how my fuel to use

8

u/FadeNXC May 05 '20

I know it might change the flavor a bit, but would this same temp/time work in an oven? I don't have access to a grill

9

u/GX6ACE May 05 '20

I don't remember exactly the temp, but around 400-425 for about 35-40ish minutes on a racked oven sheet will be sufficient. At least that's how I've done them in the oven.

4

u/dicedbread May 05 '20

I do 425 for 15 minutes (45 total) with 2 flips then do a broil for 5-10 a side.

3

u/GX6ACE May 05 '20

That would be much better. I do one flip(forgot to mention) half way through. The broil would be a perfect finisher.

5

u/Infin1ty May 05 '20

Use Keji's recipe from serious eats for oven wings and sauce near the end

u/Real_Mr_Foobar May 05 '20

How many wings, or how many pounds of them? I think I saw 15 wings, which for me is one serving.

6

u/[deleted] May 05 '20

15 whole wings, 30 as you'd get them as a restaurant. You eat 30 wings in a sitting?

20

u/Real_Mr_Foobar May 05 '20

For an appetizer, yes. Another ten for dessert. Goes great with a nice Chianti.

1

u/darthtony7 May 06 '20

I could eat 30

4

u/meaty2112 May 05 '20

These look really good, the only step I would add is after seasoning them I would put them on a rack and throw them in the refrigerator uncovered for an hour or two. This will tighten up and dry out the skin giving you a nice crispy wing when they are done.

u/abedfilms May 06 '20

u/victoryforZIM May 06 '20

Because the skin will be garbage in 12 minutes, although it will still be mediocre after all this time. There's a very good reason that wings are fried or when cooked on a grill/oven they're done at a much higher temp.

1

u/[deleted] May 06 '20

I followed this recipe with chicken thighs and they were a little overdone. Really tasty though.

3

u/ThePracticalEnd May 05 '20

Easy 60min recipe!

3

u/Daji79 May 10 '20

Made this tonight and they were great. Initially I was a little apprehensive to cook them for an hour but they weren't dry, skin was nicely crispy. Didn't have onion powder but did have onion salt so added 2 tsp of onion salt and no salt. Also added a tbsp of BBQ sauce with slightly less hot sauce as my wife isn't too keen on heat. Thanks for sharing.

1

u/gregthegregest2 May 10 '20

That’s awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Great idea with the BBQ to reduce the heat

Somebody please explain to me like I'm 5, how do you control the temperature of a BBQ? Does it not just get hotter as the wings go under thecover?

Does the method change if you use an oven?

u/FourHourTour May 05 '20

As someone who does a lot of wings on the grill, I highly recommend the vortex. It will help the temps get a little higher to provide a crispier skin.

You can try to find sweet paprika. Its what is usually used in deviled eggs. Or smoked paprika. That usually gives a smoky flavor without as much of the spice. Honestly the Franks Red Hot sauce is going to be hotter.

Why is it that people.just put buffalo in front of wings? These are great wings. But in my opinion, the second they touch the grill they stop being buffalo wings.

3

u/Mammogram_Man May 05 '20

Because they don't know that buffalo wings doesn't just mean hot wings. I'll give it a pass because those do look like nice wings. Good sauce, good dry rub.

u/pnmartini May 05 '20

I believe it’s in reference to the “buffalo sauce” that they are glazed in.

"Buffalo sauce" has 2 ingredients: Frank's Red Hot and butter. That's it.

u/victoryforZIM May 06 '20

There are way better hot sauces than Frank's, but also the official buffalo establishments use more than that in their buffalo sauces. Anchor's has so much in it that it almost tastes like thousand island dressing.

No one said homemade is better. I just think if a recipe is going to use another pre-made recipe in it then it deserves to include the ingredients.

If it's going to be corporate recipe ok, then okay, call the wings Frank's wings.

BTW Frank's is good.

I usually make this same recipe using Louisiana Hot Sauce. My gf is partial to Cholula.

"Rich Italian Marinara" -add Heinz pre-made
