    Considering it's rarity (which may make it a collector version) and the $60 price tag, I'd say you got an outstanding deal. I'd buy it just to have it in the collection.

      That's cool - basically an 18" Performer really!

        Mr. Bonesfzxdoc

        I didn’t use it for tonight’s chicken cook. The medium vortex looked a little oversized in the 18.5 kettle and I worried about grate space.

        Used the 22 instead. Turns out I needed all the capacity I could get.

        Legs and thighs at the start:

        Next, legs are done, thighs still need a little more time:

        After about ten more minutes the thighs were ready.

        This is just the third time I’ve used the Vortex. I’m beyond pleased with how it works. It’s nearly PBC-level for both ease of use and quality of cook. and

            Nice find.
            A guy up here has 2 Weber kettles for sale an 18.5 and a 22.5. Small one is in good condition, big one needs good cleaning and maybe new grills so he says.
            Wants $150 for the pair and will not separate????, probably going to offer $100 hopefully settle at $120.
            ….if I can sell the wife on this little venture....

              That 18.5 will come in quite handy, Brian_M . Good call to use the big guy for last night's chicken cook. I agree, that Vortex is a gem.
