I usually use the Vortex in my Performer with a Gourmet System grate. Steaks and burgers get a reverse sear on the cast iron insert.
Tri-tip gets a sear-n-slide, then I
Shut the bottom vents down to about 1/3 until done. I can grill beef to my satisfaction with or without the Vortex.
 What I really love the Vortex for is chicken.
 From wings to leg quarters, I let it run as hot as it wants. The pieces in a circle around the fire.
For whole chickens I Invert the Vortex, put the coals on the outside, and a vertical roaster in the middle, on the lower grate.
