Description

Medium Vortex BBQ accessory Perfect seared steak and amazing crispy wings on a kettle, bge or kamado. This Medium size Vortex (in)direct heat is compatible with Weber Kettle 18, 22, 26 inch, XL BGE, Big Joe, 55 gal UDS and Weber Charcoal Summit. Vortex (in)direct heat charcoal grill accessory. This is a USA made, high quality stainless & authentic BBQ Vortex. Your genuine BBQ Vortex brand deflector will come with a sticker logo that is USA made certified and a brochure. Product dimensions: 8 x 12 x 4-5/8" The Vortex redirects the flow of heat up and around the meat which can turn your kettle into a true indirect ‘smoker’. Great for Pork Butts or Shoulders and Briskets! It all started in an effort to get ‘fried-like’ skin on chicken wings on the grill. The results were what made the Vortex one of the most successful kettle accessories ever! This is your searing option. Picture the back of a jet engine where the fire is shooting out of the exhaust cones. This is what you will get that intense sear resulting in award winning steaks! Beer can chicken on a kettle. Due to the grate-to-lid height on a kettle, making an upright (or ‘beer can’) chicken can be difficult to cook in an 18.5” or 22.5” kettle. Vortex solves this!

  • Simple but Well Designed and Engineered!
Color: Stainless Steel
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. ... show more

  • Brings the heat. Brings the heat.
Color: Stainless Steel
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. ... show more

  • Just buy it… Just buy it…
Color: Stainless Steel
Simple, works great. Great to have a source of heat for a hot sear while also making the whole grill have a great source of indirect heat. Charcoal actually goes longer with this than standing alone as I’ve seen in my first use. Worth it on my 22” Weber kettle!

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

  • Great accessory for your grill
Color: Stainless Steel
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.

  • Up your grilling game!
Color: Stainless Steel
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. ... show more
