VORTEX INFORMATION

[Hawging It]

In addition to my 1,000 pound Big Bertha and Bayou Classic 36" stick burners I have 2, 26" Weber Kettles that I frequently use. I see that many folks on this forum use the Vortex. If you have used one I would like the feedback. Thanks all.

The Vortex and the kettle are a match made in heaven. I use it allot. It's mainly thought of as a wing maker, but it's much much more then that.

I absolutely love it as well and use a medium on both the Weber 22 and the 26. As mentioned above, wings are incredible with it but I also use it to to go indirect and get good sear on steaks, to cook other breaded food (anything from chicken fingers, to rice balls, to breaded shrimp). Kettle fried chicken will change your world. The possibilities are endless. I even cook hot and fast ribs with the vortex set to one side and the ribs on the other side. Hour and 20 and you got tender juicy ribs.

It’s everything it’s made out to be. I suggest at least a rag or glove when grabbing your lid handle and never reach across the blast zone.

I got to get one. Or TWO! One for each Weber!

I use my homemade Vortex a lot. I didn’t think I would, but I do. Since I have the tools, I made my Vortex out of a medium size stainless steel bowl and cut the bottom out of it.

Well I love using the vortex in my kettle. So many ways to use it. I can run 250 to 600 or so all depends on what I want to do with it.

Bet like that would be like a jet engine!

On the 26er, you can get an entire family pack from Sam's on at one time. That's 42 wing sections . . .
