What is your favorite way to BBQ a Pork Butt in your 22.5" Weber Kettle?

I like to pile coals on the side Sometimes using bricks as a divider. I just add coals if the they run low. I use a folded piece of aluminum as a heat diffuser. I put a water bowl under the food to lower temp some, over the fire to lower it more. Don't be afraid to choke the top vent halfway if the temp drifts.

The ring sound interesting. I've never done it because what I do gas anyways worked for me. I may try it.

I knew it!

This is how I like to do my pork butts and briskets on my kettle.

I do a layer of 2 coals, layer of 2 coals, layer of 1 coal. I light off 10 coals and this will rock about 300-325 for a good while.

Here was one of my last pork butt cooks on a kettle.

I keep hearing from MANY on this forum that the kettle can produce as good BBQ as a WSM, UDS, Mini WSM etc..

:heh: :-D that's a good one!

... oh you were serious?

^^^^ if I could only have one cooker it would be a kettle.

I think for me it'd be the Mini WSM. I'd just cut up that briskie! I'm all about saving money on fuel Otherwise 55 gallon UDS with adjustable firebox to grill or smoke

I don't usually cook butts on the kettle. I just use the UDS! I'd have to turn my OCD up really high to cook this way.

So paint an angry look on the UDS' face
