Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I think I just ate my weight in pork loin.

Not sure how I became the wing king, have you seen the wings done on here especially lately?!

What Josh said. I want my wings crispy on all sides, every time. You don't even have to use the baskets I've grilled them before and flipped them. However with the Vortex I don't have to move or flip them in fact seems like the less you touch them the better. Not sure even have to rotate the lid like I do every 15 minutes but it makes me feel like I am doing something LOL. The Vortex helps cook them on both sides and most important to me it is reproducible every time.

Both sides fit extremely well and tight I wish the OEM mating surfaces did as well. And it is Stainless Steel. Gives you the same or very close cooking surface as a 22" WSM. With 3 cooking grates you have to think about what is dripping on what however. If all meats are the same not a problem. I put fast cooking things on top which are usually wrapped in bacon of course.

Main idea for me was to use it as a hanger like a PBC or UDS and have used it like that. The gateway drums hanging rack fits it perfectly. And the PBC hooks and hangers will then too of course.



Just got it last fall before winter so haven't used it a lot. But so far has worked well for me. You can add the roti ring to it and get yet another stack



Then paint it silver and have the Weber Silver Mountain

 

Lol thanks for the tag. I just do the snake method or some sort of miniion method. Too broke to buy and slownsear

What I really want is a rotisserie for my weber. I think

 

Thanks for the info. Now I need to look at the hanger set up. I’d like more space, to fit more meat

 

Happy birthday, @Cold Iron and happy belated to @Kanyon71!

@Cold Iron, you're definitely the wing king - don't fight it .

Looks like a big ass Coors light .

 

Happy birthday @Cold Iron !

I definitely enjoy all the sharing you do on here.

When I don’t keep up everyday on this thread I tend to scroll through the hundreds of posts but if I see your name I’ll stop and read. Keep up the good work!

 

Sorry for the delay. Sliced pic

 

Looks really good.

 

SO how about taste? Look mighty tasty to me. Now I'm wanting to do some ribs.

 

I know you aren't asking my opinion but I'll give it to you anyways because this is the internet. While obviously you can get the wings done without the vortex, I'm willing to bet that you'll get a much more uniform heat with it. I have noticed some hot spots using the vortex-less method that I think I could eliminate by using a vortex. One of these days I'll buy one.

 

yesterday - 4 hours at 275.

 

Maybe a group buy....

Hmmm wonder when this will happen? I am going to be moving here at the end of the month but I might be down for that.

 

Taste was really good. Two I did unwrapped and one in foil after half way point just to see. Thought it would be too light of smoke but it was really good. Foil ones turned out too tender but the unwrapped ones were spot on. Chalking it up as a success and looking forward to the next cook.
