Kettle tricks

[michaelmilitello]

An interesting kettle trick I've tried is cooking directly on coals.  Troys video with aristocrat is awesome.   The Alton Brown video is well known, too.

Who needs grill grates anyway?

The thermometer supplied "points to magnetic north better than it records temperature", wildly inaccurate! replace or supplement it.
The "hooks" on the handle ends are for hanging BBQ tools.

You can use charcoal baskets as "walls" to confine charcoal to a certain area of the kettle. This way you're way less constrained by the shape and capacity of the baskets

Never thought of that. I may need to use that next time. Also that seems like you can use it as a shelf to put a drip pan closer to catch drippings that may fall if you indirect cook.
