Josh_solorio said:Maybe that was one of the problems! I used a sweet and spicy bbq sauce that I used for my pulled pork a few weeks back. Maybe next time I'll use a different sauce or try a rub... Any reccomendstions?
I cook my wings raised direct at ~300-325F, but if I marinate them in something sugary, I'll cook indirect. And like some others have mentioned, if I add sauce, I like to add it after I take the wings off the cooker.
Everyone has found the way that works for them and there is a lot of great advice in this thread (& all over this forum), so keep trying until you find the method that gives you the results you love.

Sounds like your only problem was saucing the wings to early

If you decide to cook with whole wings, then you have an opportunity to experiment with different rubs. Clip off all the wing tip for rub one, half the wing tip for rub two, and none of the wing tip for rub three. That gives the family an opportunity to vote for their favorite ... and makes a fun meal.

Mattman3969 said:IMO - you either need to goes raised direct at 350-400° or indirect @400-450 I've never had good luck cooking wings at OEM height. I've never tried it but I guess you could try a min amount of lump to increase the distance between the fire & food.Columbus, OH
