Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Really puts out the heat for crisping up the skin on chicken wings. Great fresh corn and roasted chicken meal. This thing heats up the weber quickly!

It’s an awesome product. Love the simplicity of the accessory.

Will hold enough for a full 6-8 hour rib smoke. Should last through years of grilling. Cant wait to try roasting a standing chicken in it. But that is definitely next on our bbq agenda.

The vortex is much better than the weber supplied charcoal trays. The fire ring of lit charcoal goes around the outside of the vortex for indirect cooking of the whole fryer.



Cons

This thing is an abomination and most certainly not worth the asking price. Sad that this was made in america with this type of craftsmanship. Nothing like the advert pics. I bet the knockoffs have more accurate grill compatibility listings.

The online picture shows a nicely polished item, but what i received looks like it was fabricated by larry the cable guy. Welds are rusted, edges are sharp and the entire thing is badly scratched.

Amazed at what the brochure indicates it can to for searing, roasting and smoking as well.


The vortex gets the kettle temperature up to 900°.

Price


The price seems high for a hunk of sheet metal, but worth every penny!


A little pricey in my opinion but i would buy again.


It’s expensive for a thin piece of metal.

Shipping


Ordered online… product arrived the next day… fired up the kettle and did baby backs in 35 minutes… freaking awesome… now i have a choice.


This came in on time, it's a perfect fit for the grill and does exactly what it was intended for.


This arrived today and i was using it a few hours later.

Packaging/appearance


I put them in a big bowl, added a little olive oil and tossed them with spices (picture with no wood chunk).


Felt weird the way it was packaged in the box but thats amazon not the vortex.

Competitiveness


I realize i could have paid half as much through an asian competitor, but what sold me was the thickness of the genuine vortex ...  Read More


Much better results than i can get on a smoker - traeger or weber smokey mountain.
