Vortex Wings on a HOT summer evening

[texomakid]

Another round in the Vortex! I've done wings a couple of times but that was trying to utilize my WSM and they were good but now I have the kettle and I'm a fool who was anything but cool!

I have the most awesome place. I'm lucky to be backed up to wilderness. If you don't mind snakes, coyotes, Turkey, Deer, Raccoons, Rabbits, and a million squirrels.


Fired up the Kettle - This journey has been great and I've found out I needed to improve my fire management skills. What better way to do it without all my gadgets (I still use a thermopen for temps). Tossed on a couple of chunks of Cherry for the smoke action.
Blues Hog rub with Blues Hog Competition Blend sauce on the wings.



Another addition to the paper plate chronicles


Off the chain good. Sometimes I get it right :)
Not a breath of wind last night and it was hot! Had to take a shower before eating!

Fire 'em up! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

The funny thing is my wife took 5 wings to try a pickle brine and cooked them in the air fryer (Taste test.) We both had 1 of the pickle air fired ones but all of the vortex wings were gone. Wings shouldn't taste like a pickle

Both great ideas! You're right. I'm gonna remove them tips and we have decided legs and thighs would be our next kettle session.
