The oil combines with the salt in our rub will help your wings get to crispy perfection every time.

Baste the wings lightly with cooking oil or vegetable oil, dust lightly with Vortex Rub.

Open the top and bottom dampers fully.

Your vortex is ready to cook when your coals are burned down about 1/4 of the way and have a nice grey color with no white smoke.

Fill your vortex with coals and a couple of food safe fire starters.

This is not unlike setting your fire off to one side of your kettle, the only difference with the Vortex would be an even amount of heat for every piece around the perimeter as opposed to the ones closest to the fire.

The heat increases enough to crisp skin without any direct flame. This method allows the chicken around the perimeter can get fried-like skin without getting the burn marks that happen while grilling wings directly.

If smoke flavor is desired, place a tennis ball sized chunk directly over Vortex onto grill grate. The Vortex create a high heat that is directed upwards then radiates down around the kettle lid creating an EVEN high heat.

It all started in an effort to get ‘fried-like’ skin on my chicken wings on the grill. INDIRECT-DIRECT High Heat Indirect Cooking The shape of the Vortex pushes that direct heat up and away from the meat, which will protect it on those long low & slow cooks. What makes this different than this all-to-familiar method, is that I now am slow cooking using a true indirect heat since i now have a deflector between the food and the fire. Flip the Vortex over, and placed the unlit coals around the perimeter and use the snake minion method. Was that it though? What if I wanted to ditch the over-sized/ overpriced smoker when I wanted to just cook 1 pork butt or brisket flat? Simple. Like cooking on a charcoal chimney on steroids!

There still was too much flipping, shifting, and babysitting to get an even cook across the meat. How could I get that high heat, without the burn or uneven heat that direct-grilling can cause? This lead to many tests using fire bricks, offset methods, etc.
