Tonight is the maiden voyage of my vortex / whirlpool charcoal grill accessory. If you're not familiar, it creates a jet engine of high heat directly over it that hits the domeled and cycles down over what you're cooking. One of the go-to's for this thing is wings, so I went with a simple dry rub of salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and paprika. Threw a chunk of pecan on the coals when the meat went down. Oh and out of the kielbasa because, why not?

That looks really good. I’m looking into this as a birthday present innnn…8 days. Gotta keep up my bday game!

Here's the one I bought. I can imagine the name brand one being better made.

Oh, thanks! I appreciate the input. I figured I’d just wing it and hoped it worked out.m, which isn’t a particularly good plan. Our current equipment is falling apart & doesn’t include a smoker, so this is very exciting!

Thanks again💛

You're quite welcome. Later this week I'm going to do some quick ribs with the exact same cooking method. Unlike when you smoke them low and slow, for this you separate them first and get the rub on all sides.

@voltronic

Ribs are a special interest for me. I like doing them in a full on pressure cooker so the meat slides off the bones. (No gristle between the teeth.) But I also want to branch out. It’s pretty exciting!

Please let us know how your ribs turn out.☺️
