    Hunsaker Smokers Vortex firebasket in the 22" WSM - Hot n' Fast in a Flash!

    For starters, it took @15 minutes from the time I fired it off to reach 325* with all 3 vents open 100%. I put the roast on and shut 2 vents completely and regulated the intake with the front facing vent at 50% and it cruised along at 335* dome the entire cook. I didn't have to prop the door...

    Hunsaker Smokers Vortex firebasket in the 22" WSM - Hot n' Fast in a Flash!

    I thought I would try the Hunsaker Smokers Vortex Firebasket in my 22" WSM, since it has been working flawlessly in my Drum Smokers, and it did not let me down. For this cook, I used @ 7lbs of KBB (a chimney + 1/4) and fired it off Minion flamethrower, and used some Oak wine (Syrah) barrel...

    Gas smoker? Suggestions?

    I started out with a Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain (GOSM) propane smoker. It is a vertical box with no insulation, 2 side vents and an exhaust vent on top. It had a waterpan, a cast iron chip box and 4(?) cook grates. I usually used a combination of sawdust and wood chips for smoke. Much later...

    Vortex wanna make one

    Hillbilly vortex I made from the stainless steel vegetable pan. I got two rings out of it. These were my first test cooks with it. 5lb. chicken on the Performer with briqs contained in a 22" WSM ring. Here is the inverted ring in the 18.5" kettle, with a dozen wings on the grate...

    Vortex wanna make one

    I think we're kind of on the same page here. I've been unable to find dimensions of the Vortex rings, but here are a couple things I may explore. Cut the rusted bottom of an SJS and came up with this. I was planning on using it as a charcoal ring in my 26.75", but since you mentioned the...
