I bought this grill to go with the Vortex ring. They work beautifully together. I also bought the Weber griddle and wok. The heat is amazing when the Vortex is used with these items. Only need half a chimney starter load to keep the griddle hot and cook whatever I want. Turns my Weber grill into an outdoor griddle. A lot of fun to use. This Weber has become my main charcoal grill and griddle.
