Four Methods of Cooking, Four Amazing Results!

Vortex Indirect Method

Vortex Indirect-Direct Method

Vortex Direct Cooking Method

Vortex Infrared Cooking Method

INDIRECT

The Vortex redirects the flow of heat up and around the meat which can turn your kettle into a true indirect ‘smoker’. Great for Pork Butts or Shoulders and Briskets!

INDIRECT-DIRECT

It all started in an effort to get ‘fried-like’ skin on chicken wings on the grill. The results were what made the Vortex one of the most successful kettle accessories ever!

DIRECT

This is your searing option. Picture the back of a jet engine where the fire is shooting out of the exhaust cones. This is what you will get that intense sear resulting in award winning steaks!

INFRARED

Beer can chicken on a kettle. Due to the grate-to-lid height on a kettle, making an upright (or ‘beer can’) chicken can be difficult to cook in an 18.5” or 22.5” kettle. Vortex solves this!

Customers are satisfied with the temperature of the grill. They mention it's a game changer for high heat or to save on charcoal, it keeps coals hot for a long time, and the Vortex great features that helped cook it to the perfect temperature. It creates a nice heat chamber while lid is closed for indirect cooking, and maintains temps of over 500 F. They also love the way that you can do direct high heat searing, and that the Vortexe distributes heat well. The flip side makes a direct heat volcano for saaking steaks.

Cut the grilling time of the chicken and the results were unexpected. The chicken came out juicy and had great flavor. Really great product and so easy to use. Will be grilling steaks soon.

I bought this Vortex to allow me better indirect cooking on my 22" Weber grill. I realize I could have paid half as much through an Asian competitor, but what sold me was the thickness of the GENUINE Vortex and the way the seams were joined together. My first cook with the Vortex was baked potatoes and Teriyaki wings. My wings came out skin crispy and meat juicy and the baked Potatoes nice and fluffy. I can't wait to try our ribs and chicken with it. Temps were very well controllable and my briquets lasted long enough and then some.

Made of steel and very durable. It is great at producing high heats and great for indirect cooking. Wings and steaks are a great use for this. Looking to try some other things out. I've used it twice so far. I use this on my 22" weber kettle.

I thought this device was gimmicky “for years” now. Finally tried one with an Amazon gift card I had, money found I guess, drank the kool-aide, I am definitely a believer now. It just “works” wonders on chicken, wings and thighs especially, haven’t tried the ribs yet but will soon.

Sturdy, solid and the right size (if you order the right size for your kettle). Works very well. Take a look on youtube, there are many different uses for it. Chicken wings come out PERFECT. The bbq gets much hotter than with the baskets provided with the bbq. You can smoke, sear and cook indirect with this Vortex.
