I agree! I’ve been planning on drilling my roti ring to raise my grate height on a 22 for chicken mainly. Is that a single stack?
Those wings were cooked with 2 stackers. Charcoal grate to cooking grate is 23" apart. I use both stackers when i want a single zone and still able to use a charcoal basket, a 14" diameter and 3" high. At the height, it allows the heat to disperse evenly throughout the cooking grate. Temperature is within 20 degrees from center to the edge of the cooking grate. Those wings got done all at the same time without turning or moving them around.
Just got done cooking these wings using a single stacker along with a 14" diameter charcoal rail. Charcoal to cooking grate is 14". Temperature around the center of the cooking grate was 500F and were done in less than 30 minutes, internal temp of 198-200F.
Can't get those results in terms of speed or flavor profile utilizing a vortex in a conventional manner.
The 14" charcoal ring allows for the charcoal to be spread out evenly and still have a slightly lower temperature around the perimeter.
If you want to use your rotisserie as a stacker, all you have to do is add 3 nuts and bolts. Install the 3 bolts at the same height as the motor mount. Below is the motor mount. The grate will sit on top it along with the 3 bolts that you'll add.
3 nuts and bolts at the same height of the motor mount.
Your distance from charcoal to cooking grate will be 12". The standard kettle charcoal to cooking grate distance is 5".
Also if you want better temperature control using the lid vents or by cracking it slightly, cover the spit rod holes by folding a piece of foil over the lip of the roti ring. The cooking grate will hold it place.
If you want 2 zones or want to smoke while using the stacker, just use your sns. Below is what i typically use for 2 zone.
