Having trouble cooking Hot 'n Fast? Want that Open Pit/Direct Heat/Drum Smoker flavor? Consider the Hunsaker Smokers Vortex Firebasket in your 22" WSM. Ditch the waterpan and start smokin'!
I've been using the Vortex Firebaskets in my Drum Smokers and I usually cook Hot 'n Fast, but am excited to be using one in the 22" WSM. I've done a couple Low 'n Slow BBQ Guru assisted cooks and its performing great. Its a smaller diameter basket that sits on the WSM charcoal grate. I haven't weighed how much fuel it will hold (yet) but you can get 9-11 hours of cooking time at 225* cooking direct, your meats will cook faster.
Still more testing to do, and will keep this thread going. Any questions - don't hesitate to ask.
