|
|
---|---|---|---|
INDIRECTThe Vortex redirects the flow of heat up and around the meat which can turn your kettle into a true indirect ‘smoker’. Great for Pork Butts or Shoulders and Briskets! |
INDIRECT-DIRECTIt all started in an effort to get ‘fried-like’ skin on chicken wings on the grill. The results were what made the Vortex one of the most successful kettle accessories ever! |
DIRECTThis is your searing option. Picture the back of a jet engine where the fire is shooting out of the exhaust cones. This is what you will get that intense sear resulting in award winning steaks! |
INFRAREDBeer can chicken on a kettle. Due to the grate-to-lid height on a kettle, making an upright (or ‘beer can’) chicken can be difficult to cook in an 18.5” or 22.5” kettle. Vortex solves this! |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have cooked a couple dozen times with it, always successfully.
Primarily, I bought it to hold lit coals in the center of the fire gate while I cook chicken wings indirectly outside the perimeter of the ring on the cooking grate.
I have successfully cooked chicken thighs in the same manner as well.
In the past I had piled lit coals and attempted to keep them in the middle of the grate without any ring or border.
While the heat of the fire is less concentrated in the center of the grill without the ring, it is often uneven. A coal pile is difficult to stack evenly plus it has a tendency to fall during the burn.
Also, adding coals inside the Vortex is as easy as lifting the grate and tossing them inside: not so with an unrestricted pile.
The heat directly above the ring is very intense. Watch the handle on your kettle as it will be too hot to touch bare handed in most instances.
That intense heat does work well for getting a hot, fast sear on pork chops or steaks.
This is a nifty device that adds a lot to the cooks I have done with it. I imagine flipping and even moving the Vortex off-center could have other useful effects. See their website for other ideas.
It is worth every penny I spent, and I highly recommend these if you like cooking in a charcoal fired kettle.
