    I typically cook my wings indirect, so no big deal there. You can go low temp and smoke them (below 300), or higher 350-400 for 30 to 45 minutes.

    Get a heavy duty welder's glove for moving the plate setter on and off the egg when hot.

    Congrats on the egg!

    You have anything like welders gloves or oven mitts? If you do, make sure you know where you can sit the setter down in a hurry. It will get hot real fast.

    Yuppster: No problem at all cooking wings indirect! I like 350-400*. Remember to put a drip pan on your plate setter to keep it from getting dirty and smokey! You can put the green feet or some foil balls between the platesetter and drip pan to keep the drippings from burning.

    These were done indirect...and is my preferred method for spatchcoked birds, too.

    Nothing wrong with indirect. :) As others said, get a heavy duty pair of welders gloves for the future. Just know where you are going to put the plate setter before you remove from the Egg so you can move pretty quickly. Have fun, and happy Eggin!!

    Yuppster, if, in the future, you need to remove a hot part from the egg (and you WILL), be very sure you have a spot VERY NEARBY to set it down. No matter what you use (welder's gloves, silicone mitts or Nomex/Kevlar gloves, etc.), I would suggest a couple of pot holders in addition to those. This stuff gets VERY hot!!

    I like to cook chicken direct, but as others have said, I'm sure you'll be happy with an indirect cook... just this once though! :laugh:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
