Season them one day before you plan to smoke and leave them uncovered in the refrigerator.

This will dry out the skin a bit. Smoke them at a little higher temp than normal, maybe 25 0-275. Ramp the temp up the last 20 minutes or so till they crisp like you want them.

At least that’s what I do on my Egg.

Sorry to hijack, but which woo do you find to be the best for a large bge? I like the idea of adding a second rack above so I can double the rib capacity. I find that to be the only major disadvantage of a round ceramic over the oval shape or cabinet style smokers.

Any other must have accessories third party or otherwise? I've already got a good pizza stone. I've also heard the kick Ash baskets get rave reviews.

HA. Just seeing your reply. I swear they were great. The meat was not dry at all. I am not sure what the temp is over the water bowl in a WSM but that is where they sat the whole time. The lid temp was at 275. The water bowl underneath must keep the temp much lower that on the top rack. I also think not breaking down the flat and drumette keeps the juices in. I have done this a few times when doing ribs up top and it always works.

Next time I will put a probe on the bottom rack to see what the difference in temp is.

Dropping wings into a fryer after smoking them is gods gift to earth.

You can smoke chicken at 275-325. It can handle it.

Wings look good but you need to clean your smoke stack out.

Those black, black spots on 3 of the wings....that's from soot dripping down out of your smoke stack. Happens to all pits eventually but over time the smoke going up out the stack builds up layers and layers and when it gets hot enough, it will drip down on the food.

Raise your lid and look up in the inside of it. Not trying to slam you, just offering advice.

Ah I see. I had ribs up top. Dome is clean on the smoker. Just from dripping of ribs. I sprayed the ribs with apple juice a few times and wet them with 50:50 applejuice:bbq sauce before wrapping.

I smoked some thighs last night (2 hrs at 250) and then dropped them in the fryer for a couple minutes.



They came out fantastic. Nice crispy skin and packed with smoky flavor. Incredibly juicy
