Last Sunday's results were pretty good, but not "up to snuff" with the Vortex in the 22" kettle.

Walked out back to get the kettle going to discover some folks flying their hot air balloon over the city (Sandia Mountains in the background).

Filled the Vortex pretty full this time and really let the whole thing get glowing before I even thought about bringing out the bird.

This time around, I've got mild rubbed wings on the left that are for Jamaican Jerk Wings (and we'll keep a couple nekkid for the munchkin), Wicken Yanks rubbed wings on the right for smoked buffalo, and I'm taking advantage of the real estate with some thighs in the middle that were marinated in Charlie Mills E NC BBQ Sauce, then rubbed with Everglades Cactus Dust (rub tastes just like a BBQ potato chip, per CINCHOUSE).

Small round of apple over the Vortex for smoke.

More to come. Smells ridiculous out there...
 
Awesome Marc!

Looking forward to the results, thanks for showing the wood over the Vortex.

Scenery is beautiful!
 
You have as much variety as a wing restaurant. It all looks good, brother.

Thanks, Sako. Got her up to 400F and held for most of the cook. 350-375F at the lowest this time. Getting the hang of her.

I think those chicken thighs are destined to be Monday night dinner with the black-eyed peas and Parmesan or cheddar risotto (apparently, we have some of both).

Remember to check out the Great Conjunction tomorrow night about 45 min after sunset!
 
Wing Shenanigans on the 26? Nicely done. Vortex + Any Chicken Parts = Amazing!!!

Want to change a variable for next time? Toss an onion (halved or quartered; any color) on the coals, before you put the grate down. Can't take credit for it, but will kindly pass that one on to you...:wink:

An aside: you might see some discoloration on the cook grate right above the vortex over time (even though it's SS). I've definitely noticed it on my 26. I currently use the vortex with the GBS (center out) in the 22 and life is good. I've noticed similar discoloration on the 26 grate above the SNSXL when it gets rocket hot. I just rotate it every other cook and scrape. Seems to work itself out.
 
Marc, I am Drooling all over my key board this morning for some wings, wish you lived next door!!!
That 26 is rolling right along!!!
 
Cook looks awesome! Vortex makes great wings or other chicken parts. That 26 sure has a lot of room.
 
Did some wings last night too. Wife wanted spicy. SPOG and some Slap Yo Momma, then brushed half with some Tabanero XXX Spicy. They were almost too spicy to enjoy. Almost.
