Q: How much hotter does this get the fire?? By reading some of the other questions looks like the coals last about an hour.

The point is not how hot the fire gets but to answer your question, my temp runs about 400 degrees. The coals last longer than an hour as my wings take between 50-60 minutes to be done. I always have coals left over as I close the vents and re-use them again. The way the vortex works is to direct the heat directly up to the top of the kettle lid and then down the side turning it into a convection oven for the most part.

Q: What are the dimensions and what is it made out of?

Its made of SS304, the dimensions, one could rightfully guess you want to copy it, but know this, unless you know stuff like: Genatrix Length, circular arc radius, °a, 🈷*d, etc... Just figure on buying it. There is quite a bit of engineering magical mathmetics envolved that you dont know how to do, with volume, air mass, heat suspension, all that geek stuff, so spend the 50 bucks and use the piss out of it like the rest of us. Do you ask people how their car was built so you can make a copy cat car... No!

Q: Will this fit 22" Weber? Thanks

Yes but IMO, the medium is slightly too large for a 22" kettle. Would prolly be perfect for a 26". Don't get me wrong, it still works great for a 22". Just kinda wish I would bought the small tbh

Q: On a weber kettle, are you leaving the bottom vents open? what about the top vent on the lid? specifically for cooking chicken wings to sauce. thanks

You run your vents just like you would normally to adjust the heat if you leave the top and bottom vents open mine hit somewhere around the 700 degree mark this thing works awesome
