Fire Butler for Weber Kettle
« Reply #-1 on: November 25, 2015, 09:41:57 PM »
Here is a interesting new product for the 22-1/2" and the 26" Weber kettles. I haven't seen a review yet but other than the price, seems like it might work quite well.

I am not affiliated with this product in any way but just thought it might be interesting to the Weber owners on this forum.

Sure wish they made on for the 18-1/2" kettle.

What a great accessory for the Weber and the Akorn!
This is way yonder better than my Smokenator.  It will revolutionize the way we use the Weber.

I have a birthday coming up soonly if that gives you any ideas.

just sayin'...

Dadgum...I thought about this thing till I fell asleep last night.  A great concept!
But...I asked this:  where does the water pan go?  When I have the hibachi covered with foil, where do the drippings go?   
Could I fill the hibachi with water when I'm cooking ribs or butts and catch the drippings there?

What say you?

I need one of those for my Akorn. They said they will be working on that at the beginning of the year. I had better cut one of the wife's xmas gifts out so I can get one.

I am also wondering about grease with this set up. At first I thought the hibachi/diffuser was filled with water.....then she foiled it.........could be one messy set and it looks like a potential grease fire waiting to happen...........................sure is a cool idea though

I'm wondering if I could put water in the hibachi with NO FOIL and use it as heat deflector and drip catcher, too.  If it's covered with foil, it won't hold all the drippings that come off a butt or multiple racks of ribs. In the video, the foil is stretched over the hibachi.
My only concern.

Just sayin '
