    Slow Cooking on the Kettle w/ the Vortex - Pic Heavy Pulled Pork

    PART 1

    Here is one of the other methods I've been using w/ the Vortex chimney. Just flipped it over so the wide end is up, and it turns the kettle into an indirect cooker as well as acts as a deflector for the meat

    The Setup


    Charcoal loaded around it. Foil in the middle to catch drippings and block the air coming up the center


    Threw some Pecan chunks on top


    Lit a few briquettes to start it






    Boston Butt. Tried the 'Smoke On Wheels' Injection for this one


    Butt loaded




    The 'cleaner handle' is almost completely shut. Probably only open a 1/2 cm


    Aiming for 250


    Here it is about 2 hours into cook


    Not a whole lot of charcoal consumed


    Got good clean smoke going

    PART 2

    Just over 3 hours


    The thermo and lid exhaust gets rotated opposite where the hot coals have snaked their way around


    Almost to 4 hours








    Not a whole lot stays lit to hold @ 250






    6 hour mark. Time to foil


    Showing the coals


    All done w/ a little to spare


    All done. The Smoke On Wheels injection is great by the way

                          Love the new Performer, Big L. I agree completely with you on the Vortex, but I sincerely hope you throw those Weber coal trays in the garbage. They not only don't work well, they work far worse than just a pile of coals piled on the far side of the kettle. That's my experience, anyway. They screwed up the cooks I tried them on. When I moved to Flag last April, I tossed mine. About the only thing "Weber" that I've thought was useless.

                          Well, except for a little Smokey Joe kettle. I bought one of those when I lived in downtown Chicago. I cooked one meal on it...and then it was gone. Literally. I got up the next morning, and the SOB had blown up and over the railing on my 14th floor apartment. I looked down on the sidewalk, and didn't see a body, so all good there. Unfortunately, no piece of the grill survived to be found.
