Making Wings Using the Vortex on a Weber Kettle Grill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- This is a video of my first use the Vortex on my Weber Master-Touch Kettle Grill. I have smoked wings before on my Weber, but they were no match for how they turned out using the Vortex. Beautiful color, crispy rendered skin, a nice touch of oak smoke, and juicy on the inside. After just my first time using the Vortex, I am already thinking of other creative ways to use it. It's a very simple tool, but extremely effective!

To hell with Mona Lisa, this is true art!
🤣
This is the first I'm hearing of the vortex. I like it. I've been using this cooking method for at least 20 years now by just stacking the charcoal briquettes in the center of the weber grill the best I could. I do one more step than he did though. After basically baking, or in his case smoking, the chicken for about 45 minutes, I start moving the pieces a few at a time to the center over the charcoal briefly to get that crisp skin he kept mentioning. Then, when they're all browned up nicely and back to where they started I sauce them. Dumping the charcoal from the chimney into the vortex would make things easier. Nice.
I saw this video towards the beginning of the pandemic and ordered a Vortex. The wings were outstanding! Thank you for making this video.
Same, I would grill so much after getting temp laid off at work
Not gonna lie, I shed some manly tears when I saw all that delicious looking chicken
lol
I cried with saliva like a little bitch
hahah
Best comment I've read in a while. Made my giant belly jiggle as I giggled
can't wait for the summer to come, and to start barbecue season!
im un hospital righr now for an apendicites operation. have not had food for over 3 days now n no water and the worst part is i am a cook. just to let u know this looks amazing... will try it for sure.
Hey been there myself man, I know it's 2 years later but I hope everything worked out right.
I've got an old folgers coffee can I use for my minion method ...think I'm gonna try this with the coffee can ...and just reduce the grilling area for the food
Those look amazing, just picked up my Weber 22 inch love this thing
i have followed your cast iron posts on youtube, facebook and instagram and it makes me so happy to see that you are using a weber kettle now too. cast iron and weber kettles are my favorite methods of cooking and everything you cook always looks great!
That's a pretty cool way to cook wings! They look good!
Really maximizing available cooking area consistently. Best indirect cooking method I've seen, thanks for sharing this one.
Fantastic! Always so happy to see an new video from you.
Looks amazing. I can only imagine that smokey flavor in those wings. 😋
If you had stopped grilling before the last coat it was perfect for me. A bit too far now. But hey, awesome video and smoke technique with this vortex. Got to get one myself. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding!
The trick to really crispy wings is to add some baking powder to your rub.It causes a chemical reaction with the chicken skin.
Try putting your wood chunks to the outside edges of the vortex. More smoke, wood lasts longer. Great video!
I really enjoyed the time and effort he took into talking to his viewers about what ingredients and sauces he used. SPOT ON.
OK - now I want a vortex! Wings look awesome, man - great job!
I made wings using the Vortex and they were
the most crispiest and delicious wings I've ever had, I just dry rubbed them and they took about an hour.
Looks great. Going to make these today for the first time
outstanding man, you had me drooling all over my phone
Going to make this weekend 😋
As always, great video.
Fantastic job
Wow! Those looked incredible!
I simply use their regular indirect cooking method with a coals on each side and I use a rib rack and stack the wings two high. I use Heinz 57 and honey put it on 20 minutes before I take it off. Absolutely to die for.
dude that's freaking awesome
Jeffrey, those look fabulous!
Nice looking vid, problem is the video doesn't tell you anything about how wings were prepped and how long they were cooked.
WOW! what temp and approximately how long did it take you?
I've never seen such beautiful wings, good job.
OMG1 T Those wings ae off the hook! If a visual can paint a story, its telling one now on the screen, somebody give me a ice cold drink and a side of crispy celery and ranch dressing on the plate pls!
Well would ya look at that! Just look at it!
what size weber and vortex is this?
The wings look great, thanks for the vid on the vortex.
Would like to hear what kind of cook times (overall and between the flip). Also temp and did you use a run.
Thanks.
Great video on the vortex Jeff!
Those wings are slammin bro!
Used mine for the first time last week!
Cheers!
Just use an aluminum foil 13 x 10.5 inch deep pan. Cut out a medium size hole from the bottom. Turn over and fill with hot coils. That's your Dessert Storm style Vortex.
How did you start your fire and put your charcoal in your vortex? Did you start your charcoal in your vortex or in a chimney and what type of charcoal did you use please?
I love your content and your cast iron collection. I’ve recently made wings exactly like this in my 22” weber kettle and used hickory wood chunks. What an amazing flavor and texture.
So this works just as good in the 22” kettle?
@@Ryan-ix8wn yes it does. Works great in a 22”, I’ve made wings like this about ten times.
Beautiful wings
Looks great!!
im hungry now.... i was fine til i watched the video dang looks good!
Them look awesome
Dude, do you have a recipe...or breakdown of this cook published anywhere? Cooking temp, duration of cook, etc?
I'm guessing you've got the vents wide open on the bottom? I see the top vents are wide open.
Love cooking with indirect heat.
How long did it take to cook the wings?
Looks like I gotta get me one of these.
Nice, I just started enjoying my vortex ;)
Awesome man. Too bad my wife doesn’t like smoked food...not! More for me!
Were u able to check internal temp in the meat....
what type of grill are you using? my father grills on a webber and he teaches me his techniques. I'm getting my own house and I'd really like to get the setup you have. very amazing
Just a suggestion, don't separate the flats from the drums........makes flipping them on the grill SO much easier!
Just rip em apart when ready to eat!
I feel like they don't cook as well as cut up ones
Are you using the Vortex on a regular sized Weber kettle? I have the Performer and was just wondering if the Vortex was a good "Fit" for it.But their website says this about using on the weber."Will not fit Kettle Grills sizes 18.5" through 26.75"
Great Video!
Nice, I have to get one
jesus that looks good holy wings.....
Using this method did you rotate the position of the lid vent to draw smoke over all the wings during the course of the cook? Thanks.
Good question. I was wondering the same exact thing while watching this. I think I'd rotate it 180 degrees after flipping them.
Wow. Yummmmm those look awesome
Oh my god that looks good
Looks awesome man! You should make some more videos!
Thanks very much!
Man, I want some!
Not bad not bad at all I’ll use mind tomorrow thanks
O' my goodness gracious!
Are your top lid vent open or closed? What about the bottom ?
Mmmmm looks good!
What are your grill temperatures when you are using that vortex method for wings?
OK this sold me in the vortex
Hey Jeff...always love your vids. Man you sound just like ConspiracyDude...are you him too? LOL
do you leave the vents at the base of the kettle open during cooking?
Did you use the big side up or small side
those look great. how often did you flip the wings using the vortex?
Quick question when you do your wings on the vortex do you leave the top vent open or closed? I would imagine the bottom vent is wide open
Are you using the small VORTEX or the medium size on your "WEBER" ?????!!!!!
what size is that
Nice!
looks yummy
Pure beauty, pure beauty
hey bud. how hot and how long did you cook them? flipping Wings half way?
Did you pre soak the oak blocks for smoking?
Amazing
The Weber is one bbq that does not need to be changed! We all need to learn how to cook on the Weber the same and not worry about silly little attachments. Nice wings sir.... but we can all do it without your Vortex and so can you.
huh? what do you care if 3rd party companies make neat products that people buy? you dont have to buy them
You mean like, nobody needs or cares about your comment? Vortex for wings is the only way to go on a Weber. Use one and you will understand.
I'm leaving. Too many disparaging comments over a subject as frivolous as chicken wings.
Looks great! Btw what size vortex is that?
I bought a vortex and the grate with the removable center Filled the vortex as shown here. At the half hour mark they were not cooked. The heat was not intense at all. I used Kingsford charcoal. Started in a chimney and dumped in the vortex. After an hour the wings still were not done. Took them off and finished them on my gas grill. I have no clue why it didn't work. And yes my vents were full open. Please help.
U gotta start with a few hot coals...... don't light up everything at once. And u can use wood like he did on top
Can't find the vortex for sale in the UK, I might try just placing weber baskets in the middle for an experiment. If that doesn't work I might try a large tin can with both ends cut off.
www.amazon.co.uk/BBQ-Fuel-Dome-Organic-Starters/dp/B01CPOGR1E
You can use a bowl-pot stainlees steel in a flea market good will o salvation army. $ 1 0r 2 dls, Cut or make some holes in the boton. Now you have the vortex.
which part of he's in the UK did you not understand?
dorianbelen I like that idea. Thanks, you just saved me $39.00. More to buy wings with😎
So… 20-25 each side?
I love my vortex on my Weber kettle.. people have no clue what they are missing
Where do I get or make a "vortex"?
Hey Jeff where is your family from. Same last name just curious. My people are mostly from the Durham NC area
If i may ask what are the measurements of both openings of the vortex?
You can find the dimensions on Amazon.com. Search vortex bbq and look at the photos. Dimensions are posted there! I just had a guy make me one....
Weber Master!
It’s your kettle a 22 or 26?
how long wer they on there for
Awesome
What size Weber is this?
That sizzling makes my mouth water....
Very nice. How is the new Stargazer doing?
It's going well. Letting it take its time for the seasoning to build, but it's a beautiful skillet.
Dude you are making me hungry
Great looking wings and a well made video, too. Will definitely have to check out a vortex. (it would be superb for searing a steak!) How did you have your vents positioned and/or what temp were you smoking at? Thank you.
I did it with vents wide open. 30 - 40 minutes total time. Mine got up to 500 degrees F according to the therm on top. Came out just like the video. Save saucing to the end of cooking to let skin get crispy.
@@bubbav5447 Thanks for the info.
