- This is a fully narrated, charcoal grilling tutorial of how to make uncooked Johnsonville Brats (bratwurst) on a charcoal grill. This video features raw Johnsonville beer brats and original brats. Also, I demonstrate how to grill hot dogs toward the end of the video.
This video walks you through how to prepare the grill, what grilling tools you'll need, charcoal type and lighter fluid demonstration, what to look for in a healthy fire, how to identify when the charcoal embers are ready, and how to use your grill's oxygen inlet and chimney.
Must watch with the sound on! Enjoy the sights and sounds of sizzling brats on the grill while learning a thing or two about charcoal grilling.
I was thrilled with the grilling and being touched by the holy spirit music playing in the background all at once. Awesome!
A couple of tips....ditch the lighter fluid and use a chimney starter.....give the brats a good sear (be careful not to get them too hot and break the casing) on all sides and then move them off the coals, throw a wood chunk onto the coals and close the lid (250 was perfect). Just let them sit for about 30 min and then you can start checking doneness with an instant-read thermometer.
I still don't understand why people still use fluid. I simple use a chimney and the outside layers of the bag as the starter fuel.
@@heshworksbetter2777 The bag is the best! No need for wax cubes or tumbleweeds or any other fancy fuel starter IMO.
@@heshworksbetter2777 downfall of using the bag is that flaky white ash it produces. It gets all on the inside of the grill.
@@heshworksbetter2777 I go to my liquor store grab a 12 of Heineken and a huge stack of free advertising mags like house shopper or your towns paper . I grab a huge stack each time I go lol. Stock em up in a used charcoal bag
Fluid is for old schoolers who still love the nostalgia. Just leave us alone! Lol
Thank you!! You are the only person who cut open and showed a fully cooked Brat!
Underrated comment here lol
Based on feedback, there'll be no background music on the next grill video...
Might want to turn volume down on background music. Rotating end to end helps with more even cooking.
GREAT VIDEO MY FRIEND.
NOW IT'S TIME TO CLEAN THE GRILL REAL GOOD. IT'S LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVEN'T CLEAN THE GRILL SINCE 1999
Did you get the music you played on this video from church ?
Ya lost me with Lighterfluid. We left the Benzene flavored meats in the 80's
Wow amazing dad ever, 👌👌👌
This is ur pure love for ur kids♥️👍
Thank you so much 😀
The music!!! I wanna know how to cook brats but I can’t take it
😂
Such a small channel for now but I have to thank you times a million. My husband works nights and crazy hours so I keep screwing up grilling anything lol. I’ve watched many videos on grilling and didn’t get it right until finally I stumbled on your video lol. They came out amazing for once !!! Please make more videos my toddler is destroying my brats lol 😂
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help out. 🙂 The channel is really just a side hobby that I thought I'd try so it's still small, but it's succeeding! I'll definitely make more grilling videos - it seems to be a hot topic. Thanks for the support! 😀
No no…thank you lol 😂 I’m sure it’s going to do awesome 😎 I’m not trying to make requests or anything but you know if you ever feel like showing us some grilled steaks I wouldn’t complain 🤷🏽♀️😂
@@SaltyMechanic that's a great idea!! I will definitely give it a shot to make a steak video. 🙂
I can’t wait !!
Love your method of cooking the brats! One suggestion on your video, even though I like piano, maybe less of it in the background.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for showing this video. I wasn't sure to parboil the brats first then cook but I see you just through on the grill as raw and not cooked. Good to know and yes I must agree. Charcoal chimney makes all the difference. Also another tip use the paper from the charcoal bar for the flame source. Works so good. no wood chips. no lighter fluid or anything and these chimneys are around $15 for Kingford brand. I bought 2 of them in past week cause there that good plus you can increase the production of coal for longer cooks as such for ribs like I made just yesterday. Seeing rips take about 2hrs to cook.
Needs more cowbell!
Great advice just a lil tip you should have rotated them 360 so both ends are cooked same … great advice 💯
You mean 180? 360 will get you to right where you started
Thank you for the advice. I'll be trying this today.
Please master the music down, it drowns you out.
Too much piano but great video and great detail. Thanks man!
Thank you! Yeah, I didn't realize just how overpowering the background music would end up being.
@@daddycooks3888 Still a good video. About to grill my brats now. Hopefully it helps me 🤣👍✌️
@@daddycooks3888 Just volume imo. Very nice score. Kind of kept me watching even when I got the gist.
Thanks for sharing a great video, be happy and blessed
Thank you for watching!
Nice video but the music is so loud in the background I had a hard time hearing what you were saying.
You should repost without music bro. I found myself having a hard time hearing you.
Great video, great music!
Yeah...the piano was drowning out what you were saying. It was really hard to hear you.
Yeah sorry about that... still learning how to balance imported background music with the original audio.
Better flavor with charcoal. I agree 👍🌭🌭😋❤️🙋♂️☝️👏
Try cooking the brats indirectly instead. No flare-ups and you'll get a more even cook. Also, use an instant read thermometer or a digital grill thermometer for temp. Don't cut into the brat, you'll lose all the juicy goodness.
Thank you for the feedback! Always looking to learn and improve.
I love bratwurst the cheddar brawts are my favorite the only bad thing is they take awhile to cook and can easily burn the outside without cooking the inside
Look at the grease just flying out of those things it’s because you popped the casing during cook
Why the music..?
Great job sir
Thank you sir!
You have years of experience grilling but you're still using lighter fluid??? That gauge says 250 but those brats are obviously getting 400+ degrees
Overall great video just turn the music down 😂😂
Never use a metal brush!!! I’ve hd brand new ones lose a bristle and get in my
Burger. If I go to a cookout and they use a metal brush I won’t eat there.
Good information. The music is too loud it’s distracting.
와우 맛있겠어요~^^
숯불향이 여기까지 납니다
소세지 좋아요~~
Thank you for watching! :-)
No light fluid
When cooking don't let your food touch. You habe to have space between each item.
The music is nice but too loud.
Don't use lighter fluid 😜
You lost me at the lighter fluid mate . Nobody uses lighter fluid anymore get a 15$ Weber chimney and light with paper and dried pine cones . You’re welcome
You crowded them to much leave some space between the brats they cook better also put some wood smoker chunks soaked in water that way you get better flavor
Lighter fluid? I'm out-a-here.
You lost me at Lighterfluid, great way to ruin a grill though, use a starter chimney. The lighterfluid is benzene based fuel, this leaves a bad flavor on all your food, more importantly it coats the inside of your grill with petrol base oils that forever ruin a good smoking seasoning you could have developed.
Thank you for the feedback - always looking to learn. I use lighter fluid strictly because I'm pressed for time when trying to cook and need to get the fire going quicker.
@@daddycooks3888 I recommend building a charcoal mini volcano inside the grill.. grab a couple paper towels and add damp em with cooking oil.. all you do is throw the damp paper towel inside the charcoal and it lights it up very quick 10mins at most!
Fluid like all gas or petroleum base will burn off fast. If you are tasting fluid you didn't let it burn off lol. I don't use fluid but you guys make up these stories about changing taste lol or you read it somewhere and much like today's society you parrot what you read.
As.for the inside of your grill, it's impossible for the petroleum base to stick as you don't close the lid til the coals are ashed over and like I pointed out before. That fluid is long .been burned off lol.
But yes use a chimney..
Ad for the rest of that nonsense show me some scientific receipts to prove it lol. Cuase it's false.
Cutting them open drains all the juice out and makes them dry use a thermometer it works better
True... I wouldn't normally do that, but this video is for beginners who wouldn't know what to otherwise look for on the inside.
chimney starter with 6 crumpled up half pages of news paper and 2 table spoons of lighter fluid. Would do much better than all of the fluid you used.
Appreciate the feedback, I'll give that a shot next time.
Yeah. I never use lighter fluid. Don't like the chemicals. Chimney starter works great without lighter fluid.
Chimney starters worth the investment, but I don’t like to use any fluid, it takes a minute or two longer but I don’t, “taste” the fluid that always ends up on my hands.
I can barely hear you the back ground music is loud
Are you in stone age? Lighter fluid ?
No need for aluminum foil??
Absolutely none! 🙂
Your music is overpowering your voice instructions 🤨
First mistake lighter fluid
Dude. The piano is unnecessary.
I was after lighter fluid
This video would have been better without that Damn music in the back ground…. You could not hear what your saying….
Agree. Can the background music, it's annoying!
Music to loud
No music next time
What song is in the background?
Lighter Fluid Sonata
First like
Stop playing with them your gonna rip the casing
i learned that i take a fork and poke my brats on both sides they cook quicker and will get that flavor inside of the
brats
😂 well i had too stop at lighter fluid 🤢
Ditch the music…it’s a distraction
get ride of noise!! "music" can't hear voice.
Hard to hear what you are saying... Why is the piano so loud ??? I stop watching, sorry
You lost me with the lighter fluid.
You burnt them joms
You lost me at the diesel dump yuck
I stopped watching once you said you use lighter fluid :(
So many problems.
They shouldn’t be touching ever and those tongs give me anxiety. Do not wanna poke a hole in those beauties. Just firing up the grill now. 🍻
Creepy ass music lol
Lighter fluid rookie
Yikes....
Never use lighter fluid!! 🤦🏼
Does it leave a large carbon footprint? My goodness!! BS...lighter fluid is fine it burns off completely. 👍🤓💯🆓
Lighter fluid bad. Leaves bad taste. Chimney starter is better.
I've personally tried it both ways with several different cooks (fluid and chimney)
I personally can't tell a difference, so I call BS
It won't be long before we cook guys, just 15 more mins of useless information so I can get my watch time up.
You lost me with the lighter fluid.
