- Firing up some chicken wings using the Vortex for the first time...
Check out Rob & Duke over @ BBQ Pit Dog, tell them Biggs sent ya! / @bbqpitdog - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Biggs you're the MAN!! Thanks so much for our first mention or shout out or promotion or whatever it's called in the intro !!!!! You made our day!!
Duke is howling big time!! ........... WHOOOOOO DOOGGIES!!....and I gotta make these wings for the big game Sunday!!! Thanks again Chris I can't explain how awesome this is!
Hey Rob, no problem buddy... tell Duke I can hear him all the way up here. Now lets see if my channel has any pull and see if anyone heads on over...lol... sure hope so! Wings on Sunday for the game sounds good! What will you be cooking them on? Much success with the channel... Biggs : )
LOVE my new Vortex!!! My wings turned out AMAZING!! Need some homemade sauce recipes......
Nice cook! I ordered one and received it Thursday. Can’t wait to try it out! I’m so excited to do a video with it!
Those wings cooking on the bbq looked spectacular! what a beautiful color...great video Chris
Thanks so much Albert... they were some tasty wings!
Been watching videos all night about the Vortex and yours just made me pull the trigger. Thanks for the video!
Hey Chris, great name! Thanks for stopping bye and glad you liked the video.The vortex gives off some intense heat! What was it about the video that made you pull the trigger?
I liked how real and down to earth, you were with your approach. Plus your grill is the exact same grill I have so it was easy seeing how it would work on my grill. Looking forward to looking at your other videos.
Thanks Chris... don't forget to sub the channel...
Beautiful looking chicken wings. I love the vortex set up.
First time using the Vortex and it does chicken wings real well. Wings came out great! Thanks Louis : )
My vortex just arrived and will be trying some wings tonight. Wish me luck!
That's an awesome batch of wings! You got the juice now!
Thanks Andy...that vortex gets screaming hot and does a nice job on the wings : )
I like crispy skin on wings also. Really liked the color on those with no sauce. Nice job!
It's hard to get crispy skin when smoking chicken... the Vortex took care of that! Thanks Jeff : )
Looked great. It seems like those vortexes do a great job for wings.
Thanks Lew... yes they do, as advertised! Next I'll do like a beer can chicken using it. Sent some emails back your way...
good looking wings. I also went by and sub'd BBQ Pit dog. It's awesome you are helping new channels out.
Thanks Kris, just seeing what that Vortex can do... it cooked those wings in no time! Thanks for checking out Pit Dog... what ever my little channel can do to help... lol. Biggs
Great looking wings, what size vortex was that? Was the skin nice and crispy?
Thanks Gary, the Vortex comes in three size. I have the medium... witch is what's recommended. The skin was crispy even though they were smoked... I normally don't smoke chicken for that reason.
Nice wings with that vortex, Phil From Florence does some amazing cooks with the vortex also...👍 Wings with El Rabbits bbq sauce yummy... Keep them videos coming buddy👍
Hey Luis, that was my first cook with it... and it gets screaming hot I tell ya! I've seen Phil's cooks and he phils his grate up so there is absolutely no more space available... lol. YKYWI bbq sauce goes great with chicken. Thanks for coming bye.
Yeah Biggs - cooked those wings up to perfection! That vortex was screaming like a jet engine in there lol! 👍👍
Thanks Matthew, the Vortex is a wing cookin' machine as it produces an extreme amount of heat which hits the dome of the kettle and rolls back down onto the wings. Plus lining the kettle with the foil, concentrated the heat even more... enjoy your weekend : )
You and the Vortex teamed up for some great wings Chris.
Good score on the YKYWI BBQ Sauce, that is great stuff.
First time cooking with the Vortex Joe... I tell ya, that thing gets screamin' hot and it does chicken right! Manuel's YNYWI is awesome sauce... I can drink that stuff... haha! Goes great on chicken. Thanks... have a super 'bowl' weekend.
I loved grilled chicken wings. Great job.
Thanks for checking in... the wings were tasty with some nice crispy skin!
Some beautiful looking wings :) Yummy !! They cooked up fast. Really nice color and they look so delicious!
Hi Mel, the wings had some good color from smoking them and the vortex cooked them hot and fast giving them a crispy skin.
Thanks for stopping in : )
If you can find a stainless steel bowl between 10 and 12 inches diameter you can cut the bottom of the bowl so it fits between the two grates. Then you have a diy portex. Closest to 12 inches in diameter the better!! I’ve had good results with a 10 inch diameter stainless steel bowl. It works good and a 22 inch grill and extremely well in 18 inch grill. I also purchased 2- Vortex’s so I can do 4-22 inch grills at the same time. Lots of wings for the crew!!! I’ve done for family packs of wings at the same time. I learn to alternate them by about 10 minutes so you can take wings off each grill in 10 minute intervals. I go 18 minutes flip and then another 15 minutes. Using lump charcoal. I also like to see her of them in the video. I hate going out for wings at restaurants now!! Great video!👍
Thanks EDCOP66 for checking out the video, glad you like it.... seems like you have a system down for cooking large amounts of wings. I agree... doing wings at home is much easier and better than going out. Cheers!
Chris Collins, I mean BIGGS, I mean CB...Brodilly....that video was one of my favorites. It had some pop. The Vortex was kicking wing butt, the muzak was rockin, the Biggs man was throwin down with a new sign off KEEP ON LOOKIN AT BIGGS HOME COOKIN. Yeah Baby. I like that big RED thing at the end. You gots to stay to the end to see that kind of stuff. Too bad some leave too soon and don't see it. Great job bud. 30 minute wings. Amazing. You've got some energy in the video now. Keep it going. Well done
Your to much Phil... you crack the BigMan up! Were sticking with Biggs, Chris, Chris Biggs, CB or BigMan... lol. Glad you liked that one! At first, the video was nothin' special before I put it together, but once I did that and added a few extras... it turned out good and I was liking it. Just need to find some back round music throughout the video and I should be pretty good. I don't think to many people saw the channel mention at the beginning or Bigg Red at the end... only a couple of comments on it. Thanks for giving me a bit of a push to further better my videos... CB : )
Another awesome recipe love this your cooking is awesomeness as always left a awesome likeee thanks for sharing your awesome recipe
Thanks Sir Jeff n John... glad you like the cook! Thanks for all your awesome support, my friends : )
First time success I would say. The chicken wings do look perfect and will sure taste delicious. I noticed the big plate with your logo on it at the background, very cool 👍
Thanks M, the wings were good and the plate was given to me by my daughters boyfriend as a Christmas gift.
WOW that vortex is awesome, I need to get me one of those!!
The Vortex cooked those wings in no time... Thanks for checking in!
Those wings look great! I like that you used the whole wing. I love to eat the tips. I once served an entire platter of tips. They got devoured!
Thanks Kendall. You, Booger and I all like the wing tips. If I do cut them off, I use them to make a stock. In this case I left them on and ate all twelve wing tips... no one else eats them. I even eat the very tip if it is crunchy enough... haha!
This is a post from 5 months ago on another wing video I uploaded... similar comment and reply... LOL.
Comment: Headchefmom Kendall Lawrence 5 months ago
Those wings look so good! I love the wing tips. I cut them off and serve them as snacks or appetizers and everyone goes crazy over them.
Reply: Biggs' Home Cookin' 5 months ago
Thanks Kendall, they tasted so good also! I'll use the wing tips for making stock along with the backbone. I too like to eat the wing tips... I'll even eat the very tip of the wing tip if its crispy enough! Glad you like the wings : )
Really nice color! They looked delicious!
Thanks Mike, they were... was testing out the Vortex and it gets screaming hot... a wing cooker for sure!
This looked so awesome.
Cant wait to do it myself next weakend.
Thanks for watching this one Remy... I'm sure yours turned out awesome too!
This looks so good!💖
Thank You... the were very tasty!
I smell Chicken Wings, I’m coming over! Lol
Front door is open... thanks Ellen : )
That vortex cooked ‘em fast! Well done, Chris!! Those wins looked great!! What was that last clip? Did I see a red Weber with a rotisserie?!?
I lined the kettle with tin foil which made the volume of the kettle less and concentrated the heat even more... those wings were done the first time I checked in on them... which was 20 mins. Next time I won't add any smoke. Your eyes did not deceive you... that was Bigg Red that you saw. What should I cook up... any ideas? Thanks Jon for stopping in : )
I'm subscribed to BBQ PIT DOG :-) The glow from your chimney looked awesome :-) These wings are almost done, I like your chuckle after you said that, probably in anticipation for eating them :-) I have not had YKYWI Sauce in quite some time,I like the hot one, Manual sure makes it good :-) Hey Chris your taste test said it all, those wings looked beyond delicious :-) An Extra "BIGG" thumbs up :-) How much was the Vortex? Have a great Super Bowl Sunday :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Thanks Fred for checking out BBQ PD... the Vortex gets screaming hot and is around $40 The Super Bowl was a good game... glad Philly beat the Pats... and it was awesome to see Brady go down like that on his last set of downs... RO!
First time I have seen the 'Vortex method' looks fantastic. Have to try it. Greetings from UK. Ps would baste just before sear with 'you know you want it' have added an extra layer of flavour, and evened out any potential dryness in the Chicken?
First time using it for me... I wanted to see how crispy the skin would get while smoking it... smoking chicken at lower temps does not make for crispy skin. Thanks for you input, which is welcome here. Check this bbq chicken video out > th-cam.com/video/8pbMayV1P-Y/w-d-xo.html Thanks Biggs : )
Biggs' Home Cookin' Thanks for the reply, please keep up the great content.
Your welcome... will do my best... thanks!
Nice goin’ Mr. Bigg! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😋😋😋
Thank you my friend... thanks for coming bye again!
Wow!! Those looked delicious!! You just used your regular grate? I always see everyone using the one that has a hole in the middle. Like your closing saying😃Thanks for sharing😃
Thanks Christy, they were some good wings! You can use either or... my kettles did not come with that grate system and if your going to smoke they recommend putting your wood on top of the grate... other wise it will burn up in a flash. Hey did you happen to see the very end on my last two videos...
Biggs' Home Cookin' that makes sense about the wood. I remember you saying it in the last one, I must've missed a video if you did it twice. I'll go back and check, I'll watch tomorrow. My phone is charging and I can't use my earbuds at the same time with iPhone 7+. I forgot to comment about your saying in the last video, hearing it today reminded me to mention it😃
That was the first time using the Vortex in a video, but I have put wood on top of the grate in other videos. Check out the very end of the videos... I've been adding a little something : )
Biggs' Home Cookin', I always watch the full video, that's why'I'm late getting to them sometimes😂😂I just went back and made sure I didn't miss anything. As soon as the taste test is done I start my comment. I did miss the red kettle in the last pic though, guess I was too busy typing😂😂Sometimes if it's a long video, not yours specifically, I will listen to it while I'm doing other things. That's not often though. I really enjoy watching and learning😃
Thanks Christy, for going back and checking it out. It is easy to miss being it's at the very end of the end... lol. Only a couple of people noticed it and made a comment... I just thought it was something you might liked to have seen : ) Thats why I brought it to your attention. Have a great weekend! Biggs : )
nice video, i have to get me one of these!
Thanks J Rod... good accessory for the kettle... around 40 bucks!
Why the aluminum foil? Defeats the convection idea of the vortex doesn't it? It would keep the air from entering back at the bottom of the vortex forming the convection cycle. Just curious. The wings looked great though.
Thanks for watching Jim... it may not be optimal, but I still think you get convection... plus the foil helps keep the kettle clean and it still got hot in there... around 550 degs F.
Thanks. I've been reading in my FB groups and the idea is that it forces more air THRU the vortex instead of around it so it tends to keep the temps up better and I agree that it would make cleanup easier. I plan on trying it next time I do wings. Keep on Cookin''! I just subscribed since it looks like you know what your doing.. :-)
Appreciated Jim!
The vortex is a wing machine, I use mine all the time. You've got some great vids so I hit the subscribe button to be number 500.
Hey Rick, this was my first cook using the vortex and it is definitely a wing cooking machine... appreciate you stopping by and looking around... thanks for getting me to that 500 mark! Biggs : )
Awesome video man Ray Macks has sent me!
Thanks LRT for stopping in... glad you liked the video!
Yes sir wings are my favorite! My son would eat all of those that child loves chicken wings! I was sent by Ray Mack
Thanks mom... I think everyone loves wings. These smoked chicken wings turned out good and were very tasty! Here's another wing video > th-cam.com/video/4bHMq76kZHI/w-d-xo.html
Your wings looks delicious 😋 sounds good and crispy
The wings were good and crispy! It's hard to achieve that crispy skin when adding smoke to the wings, but the Vortex produces such high heat that it takes care of that problem. Thanks Cricket for taking time to watch... I'm falling way behind on my viewing as of late. Have a great weekend! : )
AWESOMENESS BIGGS
I THINK WE ARE KIN✊
Great looking Wings bro
I remember the day you posted I watched it but I clicked on your mention and forgot to came back and comment I did hit the thumbs up before I left though🖒
CHEERS Biggs
Well thanks for coming back and commenting. I haven't done an I-card yet, but I feel people can or will click on them and not finish watching your video and maybe for get to leave a comment... Thanks : )
Biggs' Home Cookin' my apologies Biggs love you buddy
No apologies necessary... just want to say thanks for your support... your a good man with a nice heart! \m/
Biggs' Home Cookin' my pleasure bud thanks man
Lets get to GRILLIN✊
Nice color and crispiness! What's your trick to keep the wings from sticking to the grate?
Hey Chip, thanks for stopping in. The extreme high heat crisped up the wings were it releases itself from the grate... hence no sticking! Also, if you leave your food alone and let it do it's thing, there's a good chance it won't stick.
I make them on the PBC and they turn out great, but when I go to pull them the skin always tears (not just a little either). I wasn't sure if it was because you're grate was heated before putting them on or because you let the wings come to room temperature before putting them on. Perhaps it's not getting hot enough. Have you tried it on the PBC?
The heated cooking surface also helps with the food not sticking... which I did not mention. The wings were only out of the fridge 15-20 mins. You know i have never done wing on the PBC... can't see burning all the coal for a small batch of wings.
Yeah, I can understand that. I typically snuff the coals out and either reuse them in the Weber (newbie to the Weber believe it or not) or another quick cook in the PBC. Thanks for the tips!
I reuse coal all the time... but when meat juices have been dripping on them I don't care to reuse them. I have snuffed out coals from the PBC by placing the basket on the Weber kettle, then closing the lid. I will try using half the amount of coals recommended.
That's when you utilize chunks of wood,when the lid is closed it will not ignite the wood
Thanks mr skip for checking out the video...
I'm going to have to get one them Vortex. You don't soak your wood chips in water first? PAPA likes em extra crispy! Chicken looks good, good job! Thanks Bigg's!
Hey PAPA, if you like crispy then the Vortex is for you. I don't soak my chips... putting them in that mesh pouch prevents them from flaring up and slows down the burning process, but being the Vortex was screaming hot they did burn up quicker. Chicken was good... Thanks man!
The Vortex is great for doing wings in the kettle, but you really don't need to buy one. My wife was throwing out a small galvanized pail she used to use for flower arrangements. I cut the bottom off of it and now use it to do my wings. You can pick up a metal pail at the hardware store for $5.
That's all good... but you should be careful with heating up galvanized metal as it will give off some unpleasant fumes... do a search...
That sure looks great Christohper.
I only have my little poortex, but it works just the same / and it is great for producing heat :)
Thanks Lasse, I've seen your poortex and they do produce extreme concentrated heat... those wings were actually done in about 20 minutes or so : )
Biggs' Home Cookin' thats really cool i think :)
Lining the kettle with foil reduced the volume inside the grill concentrating the heat even more I believe... have a great weekend! : )
Biggs' Home Cookin' yes i think so as well. Clever :)
I will have the best weekend. We are at the getaway again and i will be lazing some. Planning venison burgers today. Will be a fun experiment i am sure :)
I hope you have a great weekend also :)
I lined the kettle to catch the grease drippings and realized it might of had an effect on how fast the wings cook... although I've never cooked them without the foil... I'l be lazing on Sunday afternoon : )
My Man!!!!! I'll be back after dinner! Ten Thumbs Up!!!!!!!!! \m/
That Vortex is a screamer...
Hey Chris! Where do I begin.....So many great ideas going on here! The Kettle, The Vortex, the set up of the kettle, the smoker packet, the high heat grill, the sauce, the taste test,
the Rockin' end Vid Clips, the Quick shot of the Big Red Modded Kettle with the CB Stainless Ring!!!! You Rock.....Bigg Time!!!!! \m/
Hen Ken... glad you liked this one and everything that was going on... your a man who pays attention to detail. I didn't think this video was anything special, but once i put it together and added a few things... I thought it came out pretty good \m/ Waiting to break out Bigg Red and decide what to cook... any ideas??
RockOn HMBbq... just keeping it heavy in this vid \m/
BOYLOOKAHERE....Biggs those were some awesome looking wings brother. I have to get me one of them Vortex. I just subbed to your channel.
Thanks Stall for dropping by! Glad you liked the wings... crispy! I held out for a while on buying, but then decided to get one. It was worth purchasing.... around $40! Good to have for certain cooks! Thanks for the sub... I'll do a drive by later : )
I made my chicken thighs like that and everyone told me they were burnt. They just don't understand.
I went to Goodwill and bought a stainless steel bowl for under $2, cut out the bottom and saved $33. I call it the Poortex.
Thats awesome Paul... wish I thought of that!
Now Im hungry lol ray sent me
Thanks Flexotic... I'm hungry for some more myself...
Vortex BBQ - A Space Odyssey, by Biggs' Home Cookin' (Season 1). I feel a series coming on...I googlified those vortex, 35-40bucks? Are they made withD2 or Damascus steel?..if ya wanna piss some of the Big Block Stores, make these and sell for 1/2 the price.
Hahaha! Thanks Gregor... there made out of 20 gauge 304 grade stainless steel... They are a bit expensive... that idea sounds good lets run with it...
Be happy too. And just as a juxta-postion, I want to send this post, How to shoot A Vortex from one of my favorite Outside TV sites. And I know nothing of 'how to start a business' other than watching DiResta how to build, grind and print site. BUT, ill be happy to front 5, 10 15k to start something viable, I guess the first thing is to find good inexpensive material. I'm convinced that something 'this' simple can be produced as good but cheaper. (sending link of how to shoot a vortex below, hope you don't mind).

Gregor Miller - I thought about just buying a dog bowl & cutting the center out with a zip saw.... instant vortex ring
You bbq pretty well ... for a yankee!! You need to move south!!
Hey JW thanks for the compliment... you should see me in a video down south with a fellow YTer just a few weeks ago... here's the link: th-cam.com/video/Wyu7Tx-QJ9E/w-d-xo.html
...Enjoy Biggs : )
you're burning off your arm hair bro!!!
The vortex give off some intense heat... thanks for watching!
Great smoked chicken wings, very delicious! They look very crispy, I HATE SOGGY WINGS! Gave you a thumbs up my brother, make sure to swing by my channel when you get the chance and watch my newest video recipes and fast food reviews!
Thank you Cindy... it's not easy to get crispy skin when smoking chicken, but the Vortex solved that problem. It was a fun Super Bowl : )
