How many, and what’s the rarest Weber Kettle you own? I bet it doesn’t matter what you have, Dean ‘Schuey’ Schumann has you beat!

Schuey’s BBQ has come a long way in a short time, but that’s exactly the way ‘Schuey’ had planned it. A photographer by profession, Schuey has combined his love photography with his passion for BBQ and created a very successful YouTube channel Schuey’s BBQ, where you can learn to ‘Master Your Grill’. And when we say grill, we don’t mean just any BBQ - we’re talking about the granddaddy of BBQs - the Weber Kettle. 

This project has come about after Schuey’s time as a founding member of popular TV show ‘Dipper’s Backyard BBQ Wars’. We talk more about this in the episode but the short story is that it is the only BBQ show in Australian history to make it to a second season - so you know they’re doing something right!

But back to the Weber Kettles, Schuey is a self-confessed Weber addict and has one of the biggest and widest range of Webers I’ve ever heard of. I don’t want to tell you exactly what he’s got here - you’ll have to watch the episode. But he’s got quite the range of models, sizes, shapes, colours and ages. All he needs is one more bump in Weber prices, and Schuey will be able to retire!

In this episode we get into how Dean got hooked on meat and fire, what it was like to be a part of Australian BBQ TV history, and we’re going to get the story on the creation of his YouTube channel. And, Schuey being the generous guy that he is, doesn’t give us one lesson, but two! In the third segment of the episode, Schuey shares some great advice about how to take better food photos, and how to shoot a great YouTube video.
