Ok ok I know the only real answer is to try it out.
But I'm curious about either experience or hypothesis about using the vortex instead of the pizzaque charcoal basket?
I wonder about the charcoal basket being "open" vs the "closed" vortex. I suppose the vortex would provide more indirect heat vs more direct with the pizzque basket but not sure if it would even be worth trying? Small end up or down? I would think small end down with coals around the outside.
Btw the reason I ask is purely laziness. I keep the vortex with the grill but the pizzque stored away so just wondering if I might save a bit of lazy hassle
