Double Your Smoked Wing Pleasure on the Weber Kettle Using the Vortex!

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Hey everybody! If you have a favorite rub, or seasoning of any sort, for wings, I'd love to hear about it right here! I'll try anything new at least once! 😄

[@Cbbq]

My variant is that half thru the cook, I dunk all the wings a bbq sauce, return them to the kettle to finish and to caramelize the sauce…. Wife loves them

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

First, thanks for watching! I like it! I do my thighs that way. Do you have a rub on them at first or just the sauce?

[@Cbbq]

First a dry rub then onto the kettle, half way I dunk them into bbq sauce and then finish

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

@@Cbbq Nice! I’ll give it a try. Of course I’ve added sauce and put them back on to set up but I’ve never added sauce half way thru. Look forward to trying that. Thanks!

Yum! Love the blue ribbon sauce too.

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment! Looking forward to Lobsterfest!

I bought a used Weber performer and it had a rack that was a little rusted so I bought a new one. I have been thinking about what to do with the old rack after I clean it, this is GENIUS. Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Thanks for watching another one! Glad you liked this….i thought it was a great idea too! That bottom grate of wings didn’t take anywhere near 15 more minutes, btw. Once I removed that top grate they were done in just a very few minutes. They just needed browning and they got there quickly. To be honest, it worked out well because by the time I got this grate dusted the bottom was ready. Worked out great!

Enjoy your videos, keep em coming. Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeño rub is awesome on wings and popcorn😉

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! I've used a couple of Heaths rubs but not that one! On the list now! Thanks for that!

[@gregbrosmer306]

Love your videos, I have a Webber grill also

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Love my Weber grills. They are so versatile and fun to use. Glad you like yours!

New Sub, great video. Like the humor in the video and the star trek "giving her all shes got captain"l🤣🤣 the wings look amazing and im gonna have to try a vortex.

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Thanks for the sub and for the kind words! The Vortex is probably my favorite accessory for the kettle. Its versatility is fantastic! Thanks again!!

[@DerikRichie]

I use a double grate but set a foil cover 16 in Chicago deep dish pizza pan as drip pan to do indirect, and set the second grate on top of that. Haven’t tried the higher temps you’re doing. Great video!! I enjoy your work!!

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Thats a great idea! I was afraid I was missing out on these kinds of ideas like double decker stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@jaysonescoe5799]

I’ve found that Meat church “holy voodoo”!! Makes for a fantastic wing! If you like some heat level!

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

Man, I agree...they have some fantastic rubs! I used The Gospel in a video coming next week and that stuff is awesome. I also like Sucklebusters Clucker Dust..it has a slight heat to it as well but gosh it's good. Thanks for watching and the recommendation!

[@jaysonescoe5799]

@ here’s another suggestion ! Use “holy voodoo”!! On fried eggs!! You might be surprised! Almost bought some Sucklebusters at Lowe’s yesterday!! I’m in the Athens Ga. Area! Go dawgs!!

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

@@jaysonescoe5799 sounds like a great idea!

I am a new sub as of today. Love the videos. Have you done wings in a rotisserie basket? I have seen tons of videos on rotisserie wings but I have not seen any videos comparing them to Vortex wings. If you have done both, i was curious what your thoughts are on which are better. I am deciding whether to buy a Vortex or a rotisserie set up. I would rather go with the Vortex unless the rotisserie wings are much better.

[@grumpysgreatoutdoors]

First, thanks for subbing! It's greatly appreciated! As for rotisserie wings...no, I haven't done them. But either way, if you are deciding between the rotisserie and vortex, I would definitely choose the vortex. Here's why...you can cook so much more than just wings with the vortex. You can do wings, thighs, breasts, steak, veggies, etc. And when you do steak, you can do a reverse sear right over top of the vortex. Don't get me wrong, I am sure the rotisserie would do a great job, it's just less versatile. Just my opinion of course. Hope this helps and thanks for the kind words!
