Hey everyone! Hope you all are having an awesome day! I am going today to pick up my first Weber kettle! Been looking for a used one for months and hit the jackpot! I ordered the vortex and it will be here tomorrow! What should be my first cook? I got chicken thighs on hand and thought I may try them with the vortex but I am open to suggestions!!
1 year old Weber Performer
Charcoal chimney
grill gloves
Grill cover
2 bags of Royal Oak charcoal
$100
Not a thing wrong with chicken thighs
So true some of my favorite BBQ food! I saw Cooking with Ry YT channel recipe Chili Honey Lime Chicken Thighs with the vortex and was thinking about giving that a go!
Great looking setup! Fire up those thighs!
great recipe, fire it up !!
I vote for thighs using the vortex. I love Ry's videos - never miss them! You'll appreciate the side table with your nice setup. Have fun, that's the name of the game....
Thanks everyone! We got a unanimous vote for the thighs!! Not sure if I will use Ry's glaze or come up with me cause own but it is on like Donkey Kong! Will post pics when I complete the cook! Ya'll have a wonderful weekend and be safe! God bless you all!
Vortex should be at home waiting for me! Just a quick question, do I have to do an initial burn in for the vortex or can I just start cooking with it right away? I tried to search for and answer to this so please forgive me if this has already been addressed and answered.
Vortex advises yes. I think it's stated on the info sent with the unit. Doing a burn in on a new to you grill isn't a bad idea either!

As hot as the vortex gets. It'll only take 15 min to burn off any machining oils. Couldn't hurt to heat up a new to you grill at the same time.
Thanks, the vortex did not say anything about it. I appreciate the input.
Ok today I fired up my Weber for the first time!!

The Vortex makes them almost fool proof. They look wonderful. Just picked up 3 packages of thighs at the grocery this afternoon. 89 cents a pound. Vortex bound.
