I must have been under a living under a rock for awhile, because I just recently learned about the vortex. Being cheap, an not really knowing if it would fit my need, I went the diy route. By cutting the bottom out of a large dog bowl.

The main reason for teying this was for chicken wings an trying to get that crispy skin.

Can't really say for sure if it was the result of the"vortex" clone. But I will be using this technique a lot more in the near future
 
Nice cook. I went the same route with a stainless bowl from the dollar store. Works great for DIY.
 
Great Cook! Hmmm...I have an old stainless steel bowl with a hole in the bottom. I know what I can repurpose it for now. Thanks for posting. The ole weber grill at the deer camp will be getting a diy vortex now.

Clever hack.

I wasn't sure how the curved bowl would change things
