Tons of fun with those - my favorite way to make wings and thighs. Have fun!
A wonderful way to cook chicken. Wings, thighs, quarters. Easy and quick.
Just watched a video on Schuey's bbq youtube channel where he made bread burgers with a kettle cone (square vortex)
They look pretty good, I'm going to have to try it out.

In my opinion, a kettle with the Vortex is the absolute best way to cook chicken wings.

Any pointers, tips, etc.? I read through the vortex website list so I got the general concept.
One thing I wasn't certain of was the timing to cook. Just looking for a ballpark time. Thanks all

Always been 30-45 mins for me. I rotate the lid 45 degrees every 15 mins. Not sure if it helps or not but makes me feel like I'm proactively controlling an even cook.... : )

That's helpful. Vortex says every 5 to 8 minutes. I'll probably be packing them in (some space between) so I'm guessing the longer end of 45 minutes then.

One of my favorite tools in the Weber Toolbox.
Enjoy ! ! !

I have never seen a Vortex that clean.

Wings were a hit! One friend commented how he thought they were way better than ones from a local BBQ establishment. He had to keep walking away from the platter. No leftovers of them, oh well. I'm sold on the Vortex and wish I hadn't waited so long to get one!
Two packs of 24 full wings were squeezed in. I did the flats with a spiceology Korean BBQ and the drumsticks with meat church Deez Nuts. Block of hickory for smoke. About 1 hour total in the rain with 15 minute rotations.
I did use a different lid for it instead of the blue with custom @zavod44 handle. During the burn in on Saturday, noticed the wood handle was pretty hot. I didn't want to damage it as it took a bit for Mr. Zavod44 to make. Glad I had an "extra" black taco handle lid.

Wife got a pic of the platter mid frenzy.

Thanks all. It was really way easier than I'd thought. Actually got the package from Amazon that includes the beer can chicken rack (extra $6). I'll give that a try at some point.

Can't beat grilled wings! I make them frequently using everything from the vortex to the wsm. I've experimented every possible way. I also deep fry in cast iron over the coals. Really all of the ways are fantastic as long as the wing gets cooked properly. Even the genesis can turn out great wings. Looks great. Nice job.
