Creative uses for the Vortex

[ARsmoke]

So I just got a Vortex and I'm taking it for its maiden voyage for a late lunch (Sticky Asian party ribs) to watch the Razorbacks v St Johns tomorrow (Go Hogs Go).

That said, what else can I use this bad boy for other than what's advertised? One thought was snake method around the cone and putting a pizza pan on top to act as a heat baffle.

Thanks for the replies!

I've seen it turned over and coals around it for indirect heat.

I've seen it turned upside down and pushed off to the side... filled up and a just a few briquettes lit and used for the minion method.. indirect heat...

Also seen it used for charring... Steaks put right over the top ...

Maybe ARsmoke didn't get the memo? Gentle reminder this time, but come on, we love cook pictures.

I do this often, couple minutes each side then set the steaks off to the side (lid on) to finish.
