It's hard to tell but half were not sauced. Just olive oil an killer hogs hot rub. The other half was the same but have a homemade honey mustard jalapeņo glaze.

Verdict?  The "vortex" method is fantastic. These were very easy to cook and only turned once. This method turned out the most consistent wings I've done yet.  Baskets work great.

Looks like you got a great skin on the wings and gotta love killer hogs rub! I use baskets too same way. Still would like to try a vortex someday, but this way works very well. Your cook looks perfect.

Thanks. Best wings I've ever done. One advantage the vortex might have is it looks like the top is smaller diameter than baskets put together so might free up some space. Just guessing based off pictures I've seen. I was using the 22" on this cook and did around 45 wings. If I did this on the 26 I'm guessing I'd be able to do 60-70 wings at a time.

I use the baskets for wings as well.  Fool proof and if you already own the baskets IMO the vortex isn't needed.

I had a super hot fire on this way.  I ate one at the half hour mark and it was done and crispy but the top was more crispy than the bottom since I hadn't turned it.  They were darn near perfect but next time I will try turning them at 20 minutes and and cook them another 15-20.

Not completely sure turning is needed.  Maybe just a straight 30-35 minute cook with no turn?  Does anyone not turn them?

Thanks.  I don't think I'll turn them next time. I can't believe how easy they are to cook compared to what I used to do. It's almost automatic perfect wings.

I usually do 50-60 at a time using a Vortex.  I never turn them, that would be too much work.
