For those who want sizes see photos (medium size)

The product appears to be well made. I agree that the price seems quite high since there isn't more material than they sell. Also not a fan of how they try to keep the sizing a secret to put you off cheaper alternatives. I would prefer they do something to prove the true value of their product over the competition rather than just smoke and hope you buy it. If you really have the best product, just prove it.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Could have chosen a more recent model

This is not the same quality as Owens BBQ - Ephemeral

I accidentally bought the wrong item thinking it was the same item sold by Owens BBQ and I was of the craftsmanship and efficiency extremely disappointed. I stayed optimistic, used it a few more times and gave up. Heat distribution was not even compared to the Owens BBQ. I don't get paid or work for Owens BBQ; I provide a fair, unbiased opinion of what has worked best for me. It also doesn't hurt that the free can of Buffalo Wing Spice that came with the purchase of Owens BBQ was amazing!

Pros
  • Stylish and Modern Design
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish

We can't cook without it!

Vortex excels at a variety of uses when using a Weber kettle grill. You can use it for indirect cooking on Weber (search "Swirl Chicken Wings" on Youtube), but we mainly use it with our Weber and Santa Maria baits. This forces us to only use the amount of charcoal we need (2 of us) and generates great heat! Grilled marinated chicken thighs are probably a favorite. This is actually our second swivel as we used the first one so many times the whole side of it got a hole. This is after a few years

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Modern

This is a REAL WHIRLPOOL! MUST BE!

Not sure why the negative stars say it's not a real whirlwind. I just received it before Mother's Day in May 2018. I can attest with confidence that this is the real deal. I was able to cook ribeye steaks and chicken wings in about an hour. This is a must have for those who have any form of grill pan. Mine was used in a Weber 22" and I got a medium Vortex. My first few meals with this product were amazing, everyone loved the steak and chicken wings. I'm so glad I bought it, my only regret is…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Annoying

Works as intended good for grill tool kits

Bought for "wing season" and it works GREAT! Use as directed and it will cook a batch of wings to perfection in 20-25 minutes! First, for some silly reason, it became difficult to find party chicken thighs and wings! Why? I can not tell you. I had to order a large quantity from the butcher. They don't seem to have a problem delivering them but my local big grocer can't get them! Anyway, I have homemade sauce for the wings that is passed down the family and during sports season I have friends…

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Fits

Justifies the hype! Super easy to use and more versatile than I thought

I didn't really know how to use it other than to hold my coals but it turned out to be very useful for a few different things. It can be used with either an up or down cone, giving you a more or less indirect grilling surface. If you make it cone-down like a dish, you can hold a TON of coals for a higher heat/longer burn. You can place it anywhere in the kettle as it is completely self-contained. The upward-facing cone allows you to really focus the heat on the grill if you want to too. It…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Works so-so on a 26 " Weber kettle

I have a medium sized machine. It works well but I don't think it's worth $40 to be honest. I have it mostly for wings I used it on a 26" Weber kettle to make wings (using cornstarch and flour). My wings didn't come out as crispy as some of the others. I cooked the wings for 45 minutes on a full load of charcoal (I used Kingsford Professional Premium Extra Hot Charcoals. I figured they weren't hot enough due to the larger internal size of my Weber. I think it will work great on a basic 22"…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Crispy chicken and perfectly browned

Used in my 22" Weber pot for chicken wings, drumsticks and drumsticks. They get crispy every time. I also started grilling steaks and burgers on it. I'm really impressed so far after about 6 cooks. I can keep the temperature at 500 degrees for about 45 minutes by doing nothing but adjusting the bottom vent from time to time. This would not have been possible without this article. The space it occupies leaves enough room around it for indirect cooking. My only complaints are how thin the metal…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never
