Exceptionally Satisfied
Great stainless steel product and performance created a balanced overall cook. Charcoal was hotter using this Vortex. I used it with lump charcoal. Game changer!

Simple but Well Designed and Engineered!
Excellent product - so simple, but this is well designed/engineered and the quality of the sheet metal is excellent. I've used it in its radiant configuration to make wings and they turned out great! Crispy and not burnt. Looking forward to trying more recipes and the searing configuration. I use this on my Weber Charcoal grill.

Great for the Weber
I love this! Fits perfectly in my Weber 22. Great for indirect cooking of chicken wings on the grill. Very sturdy. Lightweight. Good value!

Up your grilling game!
Works great for indirect cooking around the outside of the grill with concentrated heat in the center for searing. I use the Vortex with a cast iron grate that has a circular removable center grill plate.Helps avoid flare-ups because grease doesn't drip down on the coals. Also get more complete combustion instead of leaving bits of charred wood and charcoal after the grill cools down.

Vortex - Medium Size
As advertised and touted. Well made, heavier duty than I expected. A must have if you are trying to maximize cooking area while also looking for better temperature control.

Brings the heat.
This is the key to hot fast crispy wings. The heat was over 550 degrees Fahrenheit and the wings were awesome, stands up to saucing so well! A couple of bourbon barrel stave chunks added awesome smoke flavor. I shook the wings in a tablespoon of baking soda powder and a teaspoon of salt about 4 hours before cooking.

Great accessory for your grill
Such a simple item to help level up your cooks. So far I've used it in my 22" weber with skin-on chicken and it comes out fantastic. Looking forward to leveling up the sear game on my steaks next.

Delicious
The first use was for a batch of chicken wings. The results were superb

A must for all kettle bbqs
Sturdy, solid and the right size (if you order the right size for your kettle). Works very well. Take a look on youtube, there are many different uses for it. Chicken wings come out PERFECT. The bbq gets much hotter than with the baskets provided with the bbq. You can smoke, sear and cook indirect with this Vortex.

De los mejores accesorios
Pues lo he usado mas de 5 ocasiones, y todas con excelentes resultados; es muy practico, el calor es mas homogeneo, y el termino de la carne es mas parejo. Para sellar la carne tambien es practico.

Must have accessory for your Weber Kettle!
Great for indirect cooking/ smoking on the outer rim of the grill and perfect for really hot searing in the centre. There's not better way to smoke wings!
