Title: Vortex alternative
Post by: bear on October 29, 2016, 02:35:45 AM
In Australia, the vortex is not available sadly. I have been thinking about having one custom made.

However, I recently acquired a 14" WSM charcoal chamber and thought it would work as a suitable alternative.

Turns out that I was right

+1 on using a WSM ring with the Gourmet grate! Grate minds think alike...

4.5 Qt Stainless bowl from WM. Drill, Jigsaw, Dremel bottom. Works like a charm. Got awesome skin on the drumsticks I experimented with... I am sure Vortex is awesome, but this works too...
