    I'm definitely watching! Don't know a thing about this style of cooking but it looks intriguing! Red

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thanks JC! Today (hopefully) will be the first time I ever use this type of cooker myself...so I guess I'm not sure yet about maintaining temps until I play with it a little. But here is what I've observed and learned about this style from watching a bunch of people cooking on them in...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thanks David...and sorry for the enabling! :emoji_laughing: This style of cooker has had me interested for a while now too...ever since I finished Jim's @JLeonard smoker last year, with the extra coal basket for direct cooking below the cooking racks. Got me to thinking about that style of...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Well the weather didn't cooperate this weekend for firing this pit up. Severe thunderstorms, temps in the 30s...we had a little bit of everything. But I didn't let the time go to waste! Since I'm out of shielding gas, I finished up some non-welding chores to get it ready for it's maiden burn...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Having watched you own smoker build thread, I'd say you have the skills to do so whenever you're ready to go for it! Red

    Vortex Country Style Short Ribs (Loin)

    Looks mighty tasty from here Keith! I'd eat a plate of that! I like Tatonka Dust too...don't know why I haven't ordered some of that in a long time...need to do that! Red

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thanks Buddy! I'm excited to see how it performs at all of those cooking styles. It'd be kinda cool to have a single cooker that could do everything well. A square vortex...hmmm. I do have a round vortex - might have to try that first. But I don't hate the idea! Red

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    I'm pretty taken with the simplicity too! I hope you can find something similar up there, David. At worst, you might find a welding shop who'd be willing to build one to your own specs...something to look into. Thanks man! I know where you could get one Ryan LOL! Thanks Keith - looking...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thank you kindly! Thanks David! I'm looking forward to the maiden cook...but I hadn't thought of vienna sausages LOL Thanks Brother! Yeah it went pretty smooth - partly planning, and partly because it was a less complex and detailed project than the others I've done. Basically just a box...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thanks man! I planned the build for quite some time, made a detailed materials list, then went to the steel yard and ordered all the hardware I'd need at the same time. I did use a little steel I already had left over from other projects...but this is made mostly from new material. I always...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Thanks Ryan! I really don't need a beer pole...I usually keep my beers in my hand LOL! Easier to reach that way... :emoji_wink: :emoji_laughing: Totally understand priorities Jim! But remember that all you gotta do is ask and we'll figure something out. Red

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Ha!! Thanks Adam! I'm too old and too lazy to turn this hobby into work. Just do it for fun. Plus I'm slow. If I started taking it seriously, I'd have to work a lot faster than I want to work. Thanks John! I like 'em all! And yeah...I'll probably do it again. Every so often I get the...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Now Jim...that's something you shouldn't say if ya don't mean it! :emoji_wink: You can ask @JLeonard about that. He kinda was joking around when he made a similar comment last year...and now he has that giant smoker in his garage LOL. Seriously, if you really wanted one, we could work...

    What size expanded metal do most use for offset smoker smoke chamber grates?

    Keith has you covered, Dan. I use #9 3/4 too. I suppose opinions vary, but I like the flat expanded for cooking grates. I always figured the flat would make a better cooking surface...but that may not matter. Red

    More Wings and Thighs on the Vortex

    I'm late to the party - are there any wings left?? :emoji_wink::emoji_sunglasses: Seriously, looks terrific Jason! I gotta drag out the vortex and get some wings on the kettle soon! Nicely done Sir! Red
