Vortex Wings & Cigars

[gmc2003]

I followed the same method again this past weekend & it definitely took 1.5 hours at 300-325F. Not sure if it's the brining, cold weather, etc... but 1.5 hours seems to be the correct timing for me.

Are you using a 22" or 26" kettle. I have to admit I don't temp my wings when using the Vortex. I go by color and skin crispness. The reason I don't temp is because I'd have a hard time putting the insta read in a spot thats not to close to the bone. BTW I only use the Vortex in my 22" kettle.

I only have a 22" kettle. I've been pretty successful going by temp, unless the skin really does look done. The wings were insanely juicy & tender this last weekend, so it seems to be working.

Got a Vortex at the Heath Riles store in Hernando, MS yesterday. Gonna put some wings on the Kettle very soon to try it out.
