What a nice game changer. Best grilled (that are like fried) wings I have made. The indirect-direct method works great. I have not tried the direct or indirect snake method for low and slow, but in concept it should work great for both as well. The Vortex is well built and easy to use. It fits perfectly in the Weber 22 and for the price is a great value. With the Vortex regardless of your cooking ability, you can turn out great food.

Great concept and great taste - used Hickory wood above the vortex on the grill. Wings were fantastic. Crisped them up on a gas grill - perfect combination. Will experiment more - easy to use, and quality product.

I use this for smoking chicken wings. Circulates the heat perfectly in the Weber grill.

Love it…my wife said, “Quite possibly the best wings she’s ever had!” Simple yet great product. The only negative is that it needed to be de-burred. Sharp inside edge. Nothing two minutes couldn’t take care of, and it was off to the grill!

This brings cooking on a Weber grill to a whole new level. I am glad I bought this. Check out Youtube for videos on how to use this tool.

First off, I've really enjoyed this product. So far, I've only used it on chicken legs, but the results were amazing. The skin has come out crispy after only 15 minutes. After 20 minutes they are most tender, pull off the bone, and juicy chicken legs I've had. It is bigger than I thought it would be, but that's not a negative, it just takes a little more than a full chimney of charcoal to fill it up. The material is not as thick as I thought it would be and it's only held together with three spot welds, so we'll see what happens...I haven't heard of one coming apart, so I'm not worried, I was just surprised it wasn't a continuous weld. This was a product that I was really excited to get and so far I am not disappointed. Do I think it's worth $40? Not really, but I wouldn't spend less for a cheaper made one either. Overall I like it and would buy it again. I gave it 4 stars because I think it's a good product and it was highly recommended by chef friend of mine who loves it, and if a professional says to get something then you know it's good.

I purchased this Vortex ring over a year ago for use on my 22.5" Weber charcoal kettle grill. I have cooked a couple dozen times with it, always successfully. Primarily, I bought it to hold lit coals in the center of the fire gate while I cook chicken wings indirectly outside the perimeter of the ring on the cooking grate. I have successfully cooked chicken thighs in the same manner as well. In the past I had piled lit coals and attempted to keep them in the middle of the grate without any ring or border. While the heat of the fire is less concentrated in the center of the grill without the ring, it is often uneven. A coal pile is difficult to stack evenly plus it has a tendency to fall during the burn. Also, adding coals inside the Vortex is as easy as lifting the grate and tossing them inside: not so with an unrestricted pile. The heat directly above the ring is very intense. Watch the handle on your kettle as it will be too hot to touch bare handed in most instances. That intense heat does work well for getting a hot, fast sear on pork chops or steaks. This is a nifty device that adds a lot to the cooks I have done with it. I imagine flipping and even moving the Vortex off-center could have other useful effects. See their website for other ideas. It is worth every penny I spent, and I highly recommend these if you like cooking in a charcoal fired kettle.

Finally got to use the vortex for the first time today and it didn’t disappoint. I have a 22” Weber kettle and it works great. Will be the only way I grill pretty much everything from now on, mostly steak and chicken wings but there’s so much more you can do with the vortex. A little pricy for a curved piece of sheet metal but you can tell it’s made well and will last a long time. Fits perfect on my 22”. Keeps the middle right above the outlet of vortex at a perfect temp for searing and the outside of the grill similar to an air fry cook/temp. Would recommend!
