After over a year of dumb deliberation, I got a vortex. I watched 2 videos and searched key words on here and made my best wings ever. Don't over think it. Just cook.

    I have a vortex too. All I will say about it is my wings are cooked much quicker. Il be honest and say I don’t notice much of a difference between cooking them hotter VS Longer. It might just be me so if you’re going to downvote do so with a counter.

    My tip for the vortex is, give the wings a kiss of direct flame over the vortex just before you pull them.

    My vortex is on the way! I can’t wait to try it.

    Non vortex owner here, I do a dual zone setup on my grill (like a slow n sear, but I use $5 worth of fire bricks instead of $100 piece of metal). I smoke them indirect for a bit then hit them on the hot side to crisp up. What’s the difference between that and the vortex? Do they get pretty crispy without direct flame? I can’t really diy a vortex with bricks, so it’s something I’ve been considering. Plus I love the grate.
