Medium BBQ Vortex™ BGE Kamado Kettle Charcoal (in) Direct Cooking (1)

Wife always said my grilled wings were good but the skin was wimpy. With the Vortex, I get very crispy chicken skin with no burning. Best wings I’ve cooked on my Weber kettle grill.

I used this for cooking brats and italian sausages on indirect heat. Works extremely well and I don't need to go to direct heat. Then for hamburgers I just remove the Vortex and have a perfect bed of coals. Great value, medium is perfect size for 22in kettle.

I've used it for chicken wings as advertised and it's been pretty good. not as good as my rotisserie basket but I clean-up is much easier with the Vortex. It's absolutely awesome for searing steaks and it's pretty good for beer can chicken.It does seem like I don't need as much charcoal when using the Vortex especially in my Kamado. It allows for better air flow and for some reason the meats I've smoked on my Kamado taste better. I assume it's because of the cleaner burn.It's pretty thick and feels like it will last a long time. I hope it does because it is not cheap.

I was able to push my 22 Weber Kettle beyond it’s 600 degrees on the built in temp gauge making the best mini lamb porterhouse’s! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Update to review shown below. The company quickly shipped out a replacement and said keep the defective unit. The item works and gets scorching hot.For what this is and the cost of it the craftsmanship of this should be near perfect. Whoever welded this did not get the two sides even close to being lined up. Awaiting response from the company now. Not happy about this as I was expecting to use this July 4th weekend. I would have been better off buying the lower cosy knockoff.

The Vortex is made from thick stainless steel and is welded into a very sturdy cone shape. Provides outstanding high heat which greatly enhances the sear on meats and the quick char on veggies. I't worked great on beef, pork,chicken, broccoli, cauliflower & cabbage so far. While While Medium Vortex on a 22" Weber Kettle Grill it is very versatile and I'm getting fantastic results, I'd consider purchasing my next VORTEX in the small size vs medium to get a little more "indirect / safe cooking area" around the center of the Vortex's SEARING Zone. Again, it's a great product I'd recommend 100%.

Medium size fits perfectly in a 22in Weber. Amazing at controlling heat. Works great for chicken. Excited for future use.

I have only used it once, but it worked great. With regard to durability, it is very sturdy, so I expect it to last a long time if properly cared for.
