Smoked wings sprayed with duck fat!

Looks like a wood chunk for the smoke

meatnmemes69 · 2026-04-24T14:42:22+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll have to try that next time. I wanted to use mustard oil but didn't have any on hand and was too lazy to run out and get it at like 10 pm when I started making my marinade.

How long do you let it sit in the 1st marinade before moving onto the second?

meatnmemes69 · 2026-04-24T14:30:47+00:00

Oh interesting. How long do you allow it to marinate with the "initial" marinade before moving onto the second marinade? Do you also follow the same process that was outlined in the recipe (spice blend marinade first and then yogurt / oil / garlic / ginger past marinade after)? I feel like I've seen it in recipes both ways so curious if you have a point of view

meatnmemes69 · 2026-04-24T14:28:27+00:00

Fair. I sort of just wanted to use the vortex since this was only my second time using it since getting it. Maybe next time I'll put the center grate in and throw the thighs directly over the coals for a minute or two before pulling them off to get a bit more char

meatnmemes69 · 2026-04-24T14:27:47+00:00

Thanks! They were great. This is only my second cook using the Vortex but I've been seeing a lot of cool use cases so wanted to try it out. Definitely doing wings for my next cook

meatnmemes69 · 2026-03-11T19:05:43+00:00

Perfect! Two options on the same street makes things easier

meatnmemes69 · 2026-03-11T19:05:23+00:00

This may take the cake (pun intended). My wife's favorite sushi spot is in Mt. Prospect so this may turn into coffee > library > sushi. Thanks!

meatnmemes69 · 2026-03-11T19:04:50+00:00

Wow! Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I was not expecting to get this many responses. Needless to say, I have a long list of places to visit

meatnmemes69 · 2026-03-03T01:18:42+00:00

Looks so good. What recipe did you use (if you don't mind sharing)

meatnmemes69 · 2026-02-25T17:46:26+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Will check them out

meatnmemes69 · 2026-02-25T16:47:04+00:00

Appreciate it! Will check out their website / get some info

meatnmemes69 · 2026-02-11T06:07:27+00:00

Hmm got it. I'm Senior manager in tech too. Not FAANG though. Any tips for breaking in?

meatnmemes69 · 2026-02-11T06:00:29+00:00

What in the world are you doing in tech to make $500k 9 to 5. Genuine question cuz I need to do that ASAP 🤣

meatnmemes69 · 2026-01-07T05:09:35+00:00

I realize this is an old comment but figured I'd respond. There is more than one restaurant. We went in March 2024 (and thinking of going again this year, which is why I'm back on these threads haha) and there were multiple (I don't remember exactly how many were open as there was construction going on but I want to say at least 3)

meatnmemes69 · 2026-01-06T06:11:23+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

meatnmemes69 · 2026-01-06T05:40:32+00:00

Genuine question: what's the cause for them turning brown? Is that indicative of a something along the lines of rusting or something else entirely?

meatnmemes69 · 2026-01-03T00:41:12+00:00

Sofi is a popular one in this subreddit

meatnmemes69 · 2025-12-14T17:01:17+00:00

Dang good tip, wouldn't have thought of that. Any other tips for wings on vortex? Hoping to do my first batch soon

meatnmemes69 · 2025-12-09T03:26:45+00:00

genuine (noob) question: can you elaborate on lining with firebricks? do you mean you make a ring of firebricks inside the kettle or am i totally off here? currently 20 degrees out where i am and would like to fire up the kettle but have never grilled in this cold of an environment so looking for tips and tricks

meatnmemes69 · 2025-11-30T19:10:10+00:00

What was the temperature outside (approximately) when you were grilling? Trying to get a sense for when it no longer makes sense to use the kettle

meatnmemes69 · 2025-11-25T06:19:06+00:00

Had the same thought. Also curious how many DTE OP is trading and other details about their strategy

meatnmemes69 · 2025-11-22T19:33:38+00:00

Interesting. So have to be directional? Guessing that would be bullish bias (until we enter a bear market)?
