Pro Tips Rotate the Kettle lid every 5-8 minutes.” This is to avoid cold spots because of the offset exhaust damper. If you don’t own a BBQ Vortex, you could cook these using an indirect method for around 45 minutes to 1 hour and then cook directly for a few minutes to crisp them up.

After trimming, I scored them and then patted them dry before sprinkling them with sea salt. I placed them on a plate and put them in the fridge overnight to try to dry them out.What if I told you that you can have it all? That’s right--you can have the smoke flavor of the smoker, the crispiness of the deep fryer, and the convenience of using only one item to make them!

These methods are not 100% fail-safe and/or efficient. Besides, they require a lot of effort, time, and a steep learning curve to master. If you’re not that meticulous, you might be throwing the coals in haphazardly with varying degrees of results. Using the Indirect-Direct method, the Vortex basically creates a really high funnel of heat that deflects against the BBQ lid and then is channelled down onto your food. You are recommended to rotate the BBQ lid to ensure that the heat distribution is consistent due to the positioning of the vents in the lid.
