Hello! My name is Hector. I'm new to charcoal and to Weber. I recently bought my first kettle, a Master-Touch, from Facebook Marketplace for $80. New and never been used. I have yet to pick it up, (it's 3 hours away, so my sister in law picked it up for me as she lives 10 minutes from the seller). I have bought everything I will need to cook besides the meat. I have 10 bags of Stubbs charcoal briquettes, 2 bags of regular Kingsford, and 3 bags of Kingsford Pro. All of these were on sale for about half price. I also have 2 chimneys, lighter cubes, charcoal rake, and various other Weber accessories that I was able to pick up on clearance at Walmart recently.
So, now that I've run down my inventory Lol, I'll tell you about myself. Married 19 years this summer. 2 kids, 17 & 14. Want to start trying to master the art of charcoal grilling. Have never done more than burgers, dogs, and brats on a gas grill. Want to venture to brisket, pork butt, ribs, etc. I have learned much online, but have not been able to actually put it to use yet. My first cook will likely be something easy that I already mentioned, just to light up the kettle. My wife is excited because when I grill this summer that means that she won't have to worry about planning supper. I'm eager to learn, and also a little nervous. I don't want to buy expensive meat only to screw it up and make it not edible. Open to advice and tips and tricks. I follow How to BBQ Right (Malcom Reed) on Youtube and am a member of a couple groups on Facebook that I try to learn from as much as I can. Happy to be a part of this group and look forward to learning from other members. Cheers!
