I got a Vortex back around Thanksgiving and have been really enjoying it, but I've been using it on the lower grate setting on my WSK-E6.
Today I decided to cook some march madness wings and lo and behold I found myself very disappointed in cooking on the upper grate setting with the vortex. The wings took a solid 15m longer, the temp never got anywhere near what I expected (600) and the wings arent as dark, signaling to me that they did not receive as much heat as they did when it was on the lower level.
Anybody else finding the same experience? It's no biggie, but I expected cooking up top would've been way hotter and quicker. Instead I got the opposite.
