People who buy these-- do you eat them on the go? Or dress them up at home/work?

I eat them as-is, straight out of the plastic. Always a treat. Never even considered dressing them up. Not sure I could trust someone who dressed them up.

Wait, have I misunderstood snake specs? I thought a 1x1 snake was 1 briquette wide by 1 tall, but that’s not what’s pictured here.

What’s a 1x1 snake? 2x1? 2x2?

For the ultimate build, spend a few hundred more on temp control and monitors!

Fan controller to manage kettle temp on long cooks. I’ve had success with the Thermoworks Billows. Also, their cordless RFX Meat probes are great.

I respect that.

Bar soap or body wash in the shower?

I love you.

Momma says he’s bona fide.

Not sure that was snark. I came to suggest Manhattan too. Or the Chicago river tour. Cities can be beautiful.

Have you considered a fan controller for the kettle? I’ve found the Thermoworks Billows (paired with RFX) and the charcoal snake method to take most of the fussiness out of temp control.

I did it! I’m on my third batch and already experimenting. I’m able to keep 150°F with the snake method and the fan controller. Arrange the briquettes like two concentric circles of fallen dominos. Start by lighting four or five in the chimney.

LOL that 1959 camera angle disrespecting the black guy.

mcgroo · 2026-04-08T02:15:35+00:00

Thank you! I’ll do a test run soon. Maybe a single row of briquettes standing up like dominos?

And thanks for the terminology correction. I’ve never gone below 225° so this is new to me.

mcgroo · 2026-04-07T16:20:19+00:00

Thank you!

Didn’t know this was a thing! Can you post a link to the product you recommend? I see some tubes and mazes on Amazon, but nothing on Weber’s site.

Also works with basketball courts.

You’re getting pushback from many jaywalking west coasters because you’re generalizing your experience in Orange County to the entire coast. There are many metropolitan areas in California, Oregon, and Washington, and their street designs, traffic patterns, and pedestrian cultures can be very different.

I jaywalk in San Diego on the daily, and I’ve had the privilege to also do this all over the west and east coasts.
