Thank you. Great video. You just sold me on it.

Awesome

See you have been watching a lat of rib videos too good job!

looks amazing great job

😊Delicious cook. Love your Bourbon Sauce recipe. Too Hot for me, but my wife loves the heat. I bought the Vortex for my Weber 22". We've used it so much for chicken quarters that I got a cast iron grill with a removable center. Thanks for a Most enjoyable video. Cheers from Chuck in the Arizona Desert.

Thanks ✌🏻😎🇺🇸

That turned out really good!! That smoke ring was beautiful. What charcoal did you use?

Got mine for 150 at Walmart. Its called expert grill though at Walmart. Same thing

Great video

Very informative ! Thank you Sir!

Gabby's works for a few years, then will warp and mine kept slipping out of the side. Junior, the owner, never addressed it and after being in business over ten years, he's only got ten biased reviews ( not including mine which he never posted). There's way better grills out there for a Santa Maria attachment for a Weber.

Epic review man…I just got myself a 2023 Master Touch Ocean Blue and it looks identical to yours! Did yours come with the raised warming rack? Mine did not come with the charcoal baskets, there’s some new variation of that that are racks that you insert which basically do the same thing. Glad to know it’s a solid grill, so far so good! I’ve had it for about 2 months now.

The lid at an angle is to keep the grill from tipping over.

Rusty grate

Closing upper and lower vents it will not put out the fire. The sweeper apparently is not air tight.

I wonder if this guy's wife ever yells at him for having all those Kettles in the back. Lol. "ANOTHER ONE?!" Lolol

How do these perform when outside temperatures are below 25 degrees farenheit???? Anyone know??? I know the Broil King Keg will keep high temperatures in the cold weather, but if these do as well, I'll gladly get one of these and save $800.00!!!

I love my Akorn! Mine is exactly like yours. My only gripe is that the thermometer in the lid reads low-almost 50°. But I have an electronic grill/meat temp reader so I use that and ignore the lid thermometer. Besides that, it's an amazing cooker for $300!

Excellent cook!👍💪

$730 in new Zealand for this but im saving

I’m considering getting this or a Smokey mountain from Weber. Seeing you have both what would you recommend

Gonna give this a try today for some memorial day ribs! Thanks for the great vid

Very informative. You have a talent for this & should make more videos.

Thanks for taking the time to make a very informative video!

So why didnt you use any wood to smoke?

Thanks so much for your detailed instructions!!

My first kettle should be delivered in few days, I went with rock n roll blue 70th limited edition. On sale if anyone else looking to buy one.

I’m gonna start making videos for fun too and your first video was actually really good, brother! Keep it up! - Fired Up Kamado

Greets from finland✋🏻great stuff😋🔥

If it was even close to being a similar price in the UK, I'd be buying one. Sadly this larger version borders on the equivalent of $745, while the Jr is roughly priced similar to yours at $290. Just not sure I can justify £550+ though.

looks really good i will try it on my weber.

I've put a Boston butt on the grill with only black pepper and salt. Best ever

You hit it on the head…pay good money, give us the best lid bail

Great video on how to make the viewer hungry bro lol. I like how you keep it all simple. Great BBQ is always meant to be fun and easy... My only issue is how long I have to wait LOL. Thanks for the videos.

New to a Weber. Got a Performer off Craig's List and saved a bunch. What did you set your vents at? Do the wires affect a cook at all going under the lid? Santa brought me a SNS...how long do the coals usually last? I'm going to try a PButt when it warms up here. Thanks

Picked one up at lowes today. Will season it tomorrow.

I just bought a 26 inch weber charcoal grill with a slow and sear charcoal holder,I love using butcher pink paper,any pointers on my new grill?

Do you use butcher paper,I love it?

Did you move your thermometer on the lid? If so, how did you close the original hole? Great video!

Just got mine. Thanks for tips.

Good cook ! Bisides wings, is the Vortex good for cooking other Q? Thanks

So where did you get the stone?

Had mine for over 20 years and still use it almost every weekend. holds heat very well and has cooked more meat than some restaurants. One of the best cooking investments we've bought in 39 years of marriage. Hard to regulate below 200 degrees. Only warning is that if both upper and lower vents are open you better keep your eye on it when searing. Once you pass about 450 degrees, it can take off like a rocket to over 700 degrees. I actually cracked the cast iron grate. But she will flat cook, can smoke with the best out there and fitting a stone, gets hot enough to do pizza, no problem. Walmart currently has em, on seanal clearance for under $250 here in Georgia

I love my Char-griller (even if I still find it a bit fiddly and haven't quite worked out the finer points of an 8 hour cook lol)

Good job, so along the way, how many time did you add charcoal?

Now that was a good cook…thanks for sharing that one.

What is the website for the kit to make a drone

That’s a super nice, inexpensive Kamado!! How many inches is the cooking surface? 18 inches? 20 inches? Great video too, bro! Smoke on!

Thanks, bro. What I liked about your vid is how you covered coal amount, temps and vent positions in detail. Can’t wait to give it a try.
