Kabobs, how to?

I've never made beef kabobs before. What's the best way? Slow n Sear?
Hot vortex? Should I cook the veggies by them selves?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I usually put a few bricks on the grate and lay the skewers on top of them directly over the fire.
Here's some shrimp/chicken kabobs I did recently.

Ok so you used direct heat of a vortex.

...surely that would cause quite big flare ups, what with the chicken fat dripping onto the coals, all the time, as they cook?

Mr.CPHo

Be mindful to pair meats and veggies that have similar cook times.

I cook veggies, chicken, and meats each on their own kabobs. I don't let the meat/chicken pieces touch on the skewer. Everything cooks nice and evenly, no cross contamination from chicken.

I use boneless, skinless chicken. No flare ups.

Here's some chicken I did using the Vortex and a pair of fire wires. I normally do the veggies separate.

What is a fire wire? That's awesome.

I have never eaten or made a mixed meat and veggie kabob that I thought was that good. I always make them separate.  Not saying it can't be done, but I haven't had much luck. I love making teriyaki pork kabobs.

I don't use anything but the grill outfitted with a charcoal grate and cooking grate and lid. Something different

And bamboo skewers. No cleaning.

I've had my eye on those ever since you posted some beautiful cooks with them.

Try them... you won't be sorry. I've done pork, chicken, beef, veggies... they rock, especially with the gourmet grill grate and the Vortex.  :)
