I tried to make this one a little shorter so it may seem a bit choppy! I can get long winded, I know! Thanks for watching this one and if you haven't subscribed, please consider it! Cook on!
G'day mate, that's a great idea putting the smoking wood over the Vortex. I'll do that next time as it saves so much room for charcoal in the Vortex. Those Chicken thighs are huge. They look fantastic. BTW how long is the optimum time to let your chicken rest before eating ? Thanks again for the video.
Outstanding! Since I cook for a big household it takes a little longer to get all my chicken pieces on my SnS Ezy Spin stainless steel grate which I highly recommend due to the high heat over the Vortex. So while I arrange my chicken on the grate, to boost my coals and give my wood chunk a head start I put my chimney over the center of the grate with my wood chunk in the top. Once I have all my chicken on I remove the chimney and the wood chunk will flame the instant I put it on the grate over the Vortex. And surprisingly enough, as long as the wood chunk isn’t too large and all vents are 100% open it’ll continue to burn cleanly and not smolder. I call it the super hot n fast vortex method lol. Just gotta be careful about them flareups at the end if you don’t trim the fat. 🔥 🔥
Great idea! Love it! It was only me for this cook because my family, that’s full of teachers, are on spring break and enjoying the beach! So I enjoyed some vortex chicken! Thanks for the ideas David! And thanks for watching!
@@grumpysgreatoutdoors just noticed I should’ve suggested to put the chimney on upside down so you won’t burn yourself pulling your wood chunk out lol. Thanks for the reply!
Very informative video. For chicken, the vortex is King. It also goes nice to set around a Beer Can Chicken to help prevent burns. If you have the rotisserie ring, it lifts the lid and I use my SNS without water and run the kettle at about 325°.
Grumpy, I cook all of my chicken and potato’s the same way, I am going to try broccoli and cauliflower the same way, (battered). The nice thing is that you don’t have to turn the chicken over. I use goose fat on my chicken. Your doing a great job I love your videos.
Great question….i used the chimney because not everybody has a performer and I wanted to show how to do it no matter what kind of kettle you have. Thanks for asking!
I have a standalone 22" Weber and use the chimney. I've been using a chimney for about 40+ years. The goal is to get your coals started; how you do it is not critical, but showing a way that ANYONE can do it is probably safer. So, Grumpy chose wisely here. (But then again, I start my chimney with newspaper. 😄)
I’m so sorry….they don’t sell it on Amazon but they do have it on the Sucklebusters site. It’s such a long link I hate to do this to you but here it is….. www.sucklebusters.com/bbq-sauces/honey-peach-glaze-15.4-oz/?Bcampaign_id%7D&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD9SLzAXQixey36W5c9VkB_K_SQc_&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhb60BhClARIsABGGtw_l6cd0e1I6FCZ5_G5YKZrJXvDaNFxEHHughk68-KIKYpye8NoLVBUaAiN2EALw_wcB Hope that works for you. If it doesn’t, just go to www.sucklebusters.com and search for Honey Peach Glaze. It’s really good! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Rowan! 10 minutes rest time should be plenty!

Thanks for watching and the nice comment. Great idea! I may give that a try!

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting. I value your input!
The Weber performer comes with an igniter. Curious why you choose to use the chimney instead. I’m sure you have a great reason! :-)

Oh your in trouble, you haven’t fix that fence yet, your wife is going to get on your case, I know mine would LOL.
Shhhh, she’s out of town….i might get it fixed before she gets home….but it’s doubtful! I kinda like it. Ha! Thanks again!
Which of the knives do you use? The long white handle knife. I checked the link you provided, but I am not sure which one it is.
Here is the knife I used in the video...it's my favorite trimming knife! amzn.to/4dbB4yA
@@grumpysgreatoutdoors thanks again! I am going to order now. It looks like a great knife to have.
