Wings and drummies seasoned all with Dirty Bird Hot rub and a chunk of apple over the Vortex for smoke, -14F windchill and just under an hour had nice color and crispy. ----- ----- Served 3 ways – Some tossed in Cherry Apple Habanero Rib Glaze, Dirty Bird HOT rub only and the rest with Cherry Habanero BBQ sauce. ----- Incredible flavor with all of them! Thanks for looking!

Small Vortex work on a Smokey Joe ? 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.

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

Wouldn't be a slam dunk as you're right about the basket. Probably have to ad an additional grate below the factory top cooking grate.
A little measuring and drilling Thoughts ?

Honestly all set up and done the Vortex will be sitting to low in the barrel to get the full functionality of the Vortex. In a kettle or kamado grill the intense indirect heat hitting the domed lid and circulating down to cook product is a large selling point of a Vortex. Local classifieds have Weber kettles quite often for very little, besides our Jumbo Joe all our other kettles we have purchased used.
