                          A:  I bought these to sit underneath the grill plate on one side with hickory or oak sitting on top of the wood and the pork butt sitting on top on the other side with as much space between as I could manage for smoking. Worked all right until I got an actual smoker. But in a pinch I would be do it again.

                          by|Mar 27, 2021

                          A:  Why would you need to? When you rotisserie any meat it is constantly turning. This is a way of in direct heat already. You could use these holders or not. Most of the time you sperate your coals to the sides any way. On a Weber the heat circulates, that's why Weber created there grill in a round dome shape. Keep your grill out of the wind, and you won't have any ashes flying around. Place a small bowl of water while cooking, helps to moisten your food. A lot of people that smoke food do this. Good luck grilling.

                            A:  I use mine all the time. Chickens, roasts, tenderloin, ribs, anything that takes some time to cook. Works great as is, no issues with ash.

                            by|Mar 22, 2021

                              A:  I personally would not use this method for cooking a chicken with the rotisserie simply because with that much heat directly under the chicken there would probably be a lot of juices dripping onto the charcoal and creating flames that would easily burn the bird. I would place a layer of charcoal on the charcoal grate and remove the cooking grate, adding more charcoal as needed. But, try your method and tweak as necessary. Won't know unless you try! The purpose of the charcoal holders is for indirect cooking, as in the smoking method.

                              Q:can they be used with ceramic brickettes?

                              A:  These are used with charcoal briquettes, And charcoal is the heat source. Ceramic briquettes still require gas. I don't believe this is the best choice for ceramic.

                              A:  I would think they would work with ceramic brickettes, but don’t know since I have never used a grill of this type

                              by|Jul 23, 2021

                                A:  Hi Frank! Our Charcoal Fuel holders have only been designed and tested for use with charcoal. We would not recommend using them with ceramic briquettes. Thanks!

                                by|Sep 10, 2020

                                  A:  Hello Frank I would refer this question to Weber. I have only used ceramic briquettes in a gas grill.

                                  by|Sep 10, 2020

                                  A:  The fuel holder is not for brickettes they don't burn or put off any heat so they would degrease cooking time and space .

                                      A:  The basket measures just a fraction over 14 at it's longest point. My grill is 22.5 at top, so I can't really say if 2 will fit, but one should fit ok. (I use only 1 basket most of the time anyway)

                                        A:  The cook time will depend on the size of the turkey, the ambient temperature, etc. so the best thing you can do is get yourself a Bluetooth connected thermometer. you can pair it with your phone and easily monitor the cook temperature of the bird. When it drops simply add more fuel. I have one and it makes grilling, barbecuing, and smoking so much more enjoyable!

                                          A:  Hello, it may be necessary to add about 10 more briquettes to each basket about an hour into the cooking process. Thanks!

                                              A:  A full chimney of coals will cook a number of things. I have the grill grate with the sides that open so I add fuel as I need it. I love natural oak B&B. You can little bits as you need without chemical starters so you can cook on through.

                                              by|Jun 3, 2020

                                              A:  Depending on the size of the bird, you should load the holders 3/4 full to begin and add coals accordingly to keep the heat constant, around 350 degrees. Hope this helps.

                                                  A:  I find that keeping the grill temperature between 350-400 degrees it can take a couple hours depending on the size of the turkey. Slower cooking helps keep the bird juicier. It works for me. I start with 50 coals, (Kingsford), 25 per side and adding 8 coals per side every hour. Turkeys come out great. I use a digital thermometer to check its internal temperature.

                                                  by|May 6, 2020

                                                  A:  This is a good choice, these hold enough charcoal to burn at a high heat for up to 4 hours, just make sure the vent in the lid and the bottom of the grill are open. I 'm sure you know that the level of heat is controlled by how open the vent are. We do turkeys several times a year using this method and it works really well.

                                                  by|Jun 27, 2019

                                                    A:  It’ll burn 90 mins if you slightly open the air vents.

                                                      A:  I start w/ 25 briquettes on each side. This is good for at least 1 hour depending on temp. I would think you can probably do your turkey without reloading if it's not too big. I have a 22" kettle
