I cooked my third try with vortex wings and they're moist and tasty but still not crispy.
Above are the wings with the stuffed jalapeno that made up last night's dinner. Wings were seasoned with a jalapeno salt that we get from the local spice shop. Cooked them for about 30 minutes or so.
Had the vents full open, a full basket of charcoal, remembered the foil around the outside to divert the air though the vortex. I didn't have a temperature probe in but the thermometer on the top that others have said gets close to pegged read a little over 400. I don't think it got to 450. The only thing I can think of is that I need to change charcoal. I have been using Weber for the last couple months. I think I have read that the charcoal some used impacted temperature. I am really after the crispy chicken but I can't seem to get there. Any other ideas you all have would be helpful.
