Vortex Charcoal Basket

Big improvement

Switched out the basket that came with my Gateway with the vortex basket. Big improvement. Even heat all around. No more hot spots no more rotating the grates. After attending Smoke Freaks Rib Camp and talking to them and seeing the Hunsaker in action I wish I had seen them before I got my Gateway.

Quick Delivery - Perfect Drop in Replacement

I purchased the Vortex basket to replace the charcoal basket in another 55 gallon drum. It fit perfectly, and is built like a tank. The Vortex is a no-brainer if you are building your own ugly drum.

It arrived well packaged. I wiped it down and sprayed it with oil and seasoned it as prescribed. Then I played around getting my smoker to stay at different temps, it do so beautifully. I then cooked some competition chicken thighs, they cooked nice and even! Very happy with the product and I highly recommend it! I am using it in a Whitewater drum.
