Set up your Weber Kettle for direct grilling – Fill your charcoal chimney fire starter with charcoal briquettes, and when ready, empty the chimney in the center of the charcoal grate and, with tongs, spread them around to form a neat pile. While your charcoal chimney is getting ready, soak the wooden skewers in a pan filled with water.

Prepare two different sets of skewers – Thread five tuna pieces on three separate skewers. Then, thread the remaining ingredients on four separate skewers in a sequenced pattern of your choice.

Place the skewers onto your Weber Kettle – Place the sausage and vegetable skewers on the grill grate first and replace the lid. Roughly every five minutes, turn the skewers over so that all sides get a good char. Remove the sausage and vegetable skewers.

Now place the ahi tuna skewers on the grill grate. Do not put the Weber Kettle lid back on, and do not go away. Turn the ahi tuna skewers every minute or less until all four sides have received a very light char.

Take all the skewers off the Weber Kettle – Place all the skewers on a cutting board. Remove all the sausage, vegetables, and ahi tuna from the skewers. Decoratively place all the ahi tuna kabob ingredients on a bed of rice or a bed of lettuce, and enjoy.

Variations And Additions For Weber Kettle Grilled Tuna Kabobs

Marinate the ahi tuna – Make a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, chopped ginger, and garlic and marinate the ahi tuna for up to two hours or overnight. Also, brush the sausage and vegetable skewers with the marinade while it grills.

Try using a different fish, other than ahi tuna – Although ahi tuna is the perfect fish for grilling on a kabob because of its texture, other firm textured fish will do just as well. Swordfish, halibut, mahi mahi, and cod all have a firm texture and wonderful flavor.

Use your favorite sausage – I really enjoy a hard Spanish chorizo for my ahi tuna kabobs. But any sausage link that you enjoy will do just fine. Try andouille, boudin, bratwurst, hot or sweet Italian, linguica, or kielbasa sausages.
