Let's face it: food cooked with charcoal is hands down better than food grilled with gas! I know some folks will argue for propane just because they think its more convenient. Unfortunately, there are many folks who miss out on all the flavor and cooking options that charcoal offers simply because they're afraid to try it.
Charcoal not only greatly increases the flavor of food, but opens up the door to other cooking methods. Did you know that you can use your charcoal grill as a smoker? You can impress your friends and family with pulled pork and brisket using the same grill you cook burgers and steaks on. That in itself will take your grilling game to another level!
If you're new to using a charcoal grill, or maybe its been a while I know that it can seem a bit intimidating. But the fact of the matter is that its really not all that complicated. With a bit of practice anyone can develop the skills needed to grill delicious food over a charcoal fire, and that includes you! Don't miss out on all that using charcoal has to offer.
I designed this course for anyone from the complete beginner to those who have started using a charcoal grill but really want to improve their knowledge and skills.

Ryan Smith was the first grilling/BBQ YouTuber I started following when I made the switch to charcoal grilling in August of 2020. Each video was easy to understand and Ryan simplified concepts so that they would make sense to a noob like me. His easygoing demeanor and wealth of knowledge was a welcome respite to some of the other YouTubers I encountered. He is accommodating, quick to answer questions and does so in a caring manner with no haughtiness. He’s as down to earth, salt of the earth as can be!
When I found out he offered an in depth course on grilling and BBQing I jumped at the opportunity! His course is exhaustive and packed with even more detailed information than his YouTube videos allow. The course offers excellent, downloadable PDFs I’ve stored in my phone notes for easy access when I’m by the kettle. Ryan is super quick to answer emails which is great if you’re preparing to do a big cook and need some last minute tips and encouragement!
I cannot recommend Ryan’s course enough! If you’re on the fence, DO IT. I can guarantee you won’t be ruining any more cooks or having family members complaining about the food that comes off your grill anymore!

This course is an excellent primer for anyone wanting to get into grilling using a Weber charcoal grill. Ryan explains everything in simple terms so that anyone can get the hang of grilling easily, whether it be cooking hot-n-fast (sear) or low and slow with the snake method of lining up the charcoal briquettes. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to cook on a charcoal grill.

Over the past 9 years, I have helped a lot of folks get started using their charcoal grills. In fact, my YouTube videos on the topic have received over 8,000,000 views and thousands of positive comments to date!
Grilling and BBQ is something that I am passionate about, and its something that I want to share with as many folks as possible! I hope to see others get the same amount of enjoyment out of cooking on their grills as I do.
My teaching approach is very simple and laid back. I try to break my instructions down so that they're easy to understand and follow along with. There is no use in over complicating things.
