When a Tomahawk crashes a simple Vortex chicken thigh cook

[JeffG]

I was doing a simple weekday Vortex chicken cook and a friend shows up with a Tomahawk.

Added some more Kingsford Pro charcoal, got out the grill grates and game on..

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Great freinds do great things with a Weber.....

Nice!!! Feel like I can smell that from here! Have you done many cooks with the grill grates over the vortex? Does it seem to affect them in any way?

Yep, the Vortex is a great tool! Steak looks great! Wings don’t look bad either.

Yes

You get very hot heat which is perfect if you like to sear your steaks and then probe them until they come up to temp. I usually sear them this way over charcoal and then set up the gasser for indirect and finish them that way as I load more items on the Vortex charcoal Performer.

I like the “cook for the masses“ possibility with the technique! I will borrow that the next time I have a bigger steak feast.

I also use the vortex big side up for many cooks.
