Vortex Wings

[Big Dawg]

I think I've mentioned that I sold the 26er.  She's off to good life with a guy who caters BBQ.

But I saved my Vortex and added a new 22" Gourmet Grate.

The wings only took 20 minutes so there was plenty of time for some corn and sausages.

Nice looking grub!

All looks good.  Is that aluminum foil under the grate?  The Mr. Curiosity in me has to ask, what's the rational there?  Only asking because I use a Vortex for wings sometimes and have never seen or used it before.

It was just there to catch drippings.  Not sure that I'll do it next time.  It was more of an issue when Vortexed on my old 26er.  There I could fit an entire Costco Family Pack of wings at one time, and still get 'em all done in 20 minutes.

Yeah, I never mess with foil in my dedicated vortex kettle.  Thinking it negates the airflow idea that is part of the regenerating airflow idea.
