Vortex info

[zombini]

The Vortex makes wings stupid easy.

good tool for me then

[Fishawn]

ALL the Vortex cooks are with the lid...with the exception of jet exhaust sear mode...

..... For those that don't like the lid, and like a rare steak, lid is optional IMO ...... They can get HOT!

Sorry Rich.

Here's the "manual". I will call him in a bit - he SHOULD have stock by now..and I want to get some shipped to me so I can get them on the Mad Hunky site.

PLEASE thoroughly burn out the Vortex before cooking on it.

INDIRECT*Vortex goes Wide-End up. Coals go around it. Roast goes directly over Vortex. The coals are lit on one end and snake/minion their way around the kettle. The Vortex shape acts as the deflector for direct heat which is different than snaking the coals w/o the Vortex.

INDIRECT EXAMPLE HERE



DIRECT:*Picture the back of a jet engine where the fire shoots out. Load up the Vortex. Get coals set. Throw a steak or chop directly over it for about a minute per side. It will have a very nice sear across the whole steak, not just where the grate marks are happening. The Maillard Reaction is able to occur across surface area of the whole steak/chop. Check out this article when you get a minute. Once seared on both sides. Move off to perimeter where steak/chop can INDIRECTLY come up to preferred temp.

DIRECT EXAMPLE HERE



INDIRECT-DIRECT:*This is what I've been describing the method used for chicken (wings, legs, thighs). This all started in an effort to get fried-like skin on my chicken wings without using a fryer. I wanted to make the perfect wings on a grill. The Vortex creates enough heat that is directed upwards then radiates around the kettle, that the chicken around the perimeter can get fried-like skin without getting the burn marks that happen when grilling chicken wings directly. The heat increases enough to crisp skin without any direct flame application. 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. No need for rotating or extra flipping,

Thanks for putting this up Rich. I have one but have yet to use it. At least now I have the info at hand to do it up right.
