No, a small will not fit. But a mini Vortex will fit in a Smokey Joe, but the little grillestate left to cook on the 14.5" grate with the room a Vortex takes up. Some do this, but in my opinion it just isn't worth your investment.
For a small portable Weber kettle a Jumbo Joe with a mini Vortex works well.


Thanks, I'll get a large for my Pit Barrel Cooker ?


We have a PBC also, but have never used a Vortex in it, I'm not saying it isn't possible... Big thing about a PBC is with the firebasket, the handle for it is in the way of setting a Vortex in the basket, and fit under the cooking grate. What are your thoughts on the set up in a PBC?
If you happen to have a Facebook account there is a group of Vortex users that will have more and most likely better opinions than just mine... www.facebook.com/groups/VortexBBQ
