KETTLE METAL BARBECUE EXISTS FOR ONE PURPOSE;

TO HELP YOU CREATE THE EXQUISITE TASTING FOOD THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.  

Man has been cooking over a flame for millennia. Consequently, our technology has afforded us more precise and effecient methoths of grilling, curing, and smoking foods.

I’m AJ, Founder & Pitmaster Of  Kettle Metal BBQ. I’ve got over a decade of experience grilling, smoking, and curing meats as a hobbyist, KCBS Pitmaster, and Certified Barbecue Judge.  I believe that your Grill or Smoker is an investment, and I personally don’t want you to waste your money on anything less than excellent quality. That’s why I’ve gone through and reviewed the best grills & smokers on the market. From Traeger Grills to Rec Tec, I have a handle on pellet grills as well. As a result, this website offers detailed insight and experience with some of the most complicated and expensive grills and smokers. If you’re looking for honest and well-written reviews written and reviewed by a barbecue professional, you’re in the right place.

Bringing People Together through GOOD FOOD has always been a passion of mine. Few things in life are better than sitting around a table, enjoying a delicious meal, and connecting with others. If this website helps you acomplish that, then I have done my job.

Thank You,

Kansas City BBQ Society – Certified BBQ Judge

A wise Pitmaster once taught me, “Everybody does barbecue different, there’s no right and no wrong way to do it.”

I always keep that in mind whenever I teach, and whenever I am taught.

Charcoal Grill

The Original Weber Kettle 22″

When the Kettle is set up with the proper two-zone charcoal method, any pit-master can smoke a pork butt or two.

However, if you like searing rib-eyes, or grilling a thanksgiving turkeys, this grill makes it easy and delicious. We know from experience. Don’t discount the Weber Kettle. Above All, there is a reason why the Kettle has been around for so long. It’s a beast.
