Call me a sucker for gadgets but I finally bought a medium size Vortex. My wings turned out pretty good tonight but unfortunately, I found no "pleasant surprise". As I had expected, the thing is like a volcano, and this means two things. First of all, I don't recommend ever using a plated grate over it. (I wouldn't have ordered a Vortex had I not had stainless grates in my Performer and my 26.75".)
But since the heat is directed up, what I'm perplexed about is why the instructions for "THUNDERDOME BBQ Vortex Chicken Wings direct the user to start with meat side up, and didn't mention turning until "when the skin looks close to crisp". Maybe it was a typo? Regardless, and to be honest, the instructions could've been a bit more clear.
So anyhow, what's worked best for you Vortex wing grillers out there? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
