INDIRECT - Low & Slow Cooking/Smoking The Vortex can redirect the flow of heat up and around the meat which can turn your kettle into a true indirect smoker. Vortex goes Wide-End up. Coals go around the perimeter onto the fire grate. Place meat directly over Vortex in the center. The coals are lit on one end and snake/minion their way around the kettle. INDIRECT-DIRECT - High Heat Indirect Cooking It all started in an effort to get fried-like skin on my chicken wings on the grill. The Vortex creates a high heat that is directed upwards then radiates down around the kettle lid creating an EVEN high heat. Load up the Vortex Narrow Side Up. Let coals ash over. Put meat around perimeter. If smoke flavor is desired, place a tennis ball sized chunk directly over Vortex onto grill grate. This method allows the chicken around the perimeter can get fried-like skin without getting the burn marks that happen while grilling wings directly. The heat increases enough to crisp skin without any direct flame. DIRECT - High Heat Searing. This is your searing option. Picture the back of a jet engine where the fire is shooting out of the exhaust cones. INFRARED - Radiant Heat This is a method that allows a perfect roasted protein without the need for an expensive rotisserie or having to spatchcock the bird before cooking. The Vortex deflects the direct heat while radiating high heat and giving your food the outdoor cooking flavor.
