I today ya!!!!!! Haha. Vortex wings are amazing. I'm glad you had good results on your first cook. Since you have the gourmet grate, I'd suggest taking the center grate out if you aren't cooking on it. The vortex gets really hot and while I don't think it will damage the grate, I'd take it out anyway. Just got a gourmet grate and will definitely take my center grate out. Will make it easier to add wood and coals if you are doing multiple batches.
