Vortex Question

[jraiona]

Hey Guys. I just got a medium Vortex for my Performer and have a question. When you are doing wings or chicken parts like thighs or drums do you run your kettle with vents wide open?

Yes I do, but I usually don't fill the vortex all the way full with charcoal.

If you fill it all the way & leave the bottom vents open all the way it really gets hot.
