Cooked Some Wings

Friend wanted me to smoke some wings for a get-together. So went out and got 15 pounds and dusted them up and got the large holding steady at 275.

On went the wings using indirect raised grill for space.

I then sauced the top batch.

Let them go for another 20 minutes or so and resauced and put on raised direct on small to get that charred flavour that I prefer.img_0336.jpg

    I can't see the photos... Is it me? or are they posted wrong?

    Cheers!

    It is strange you say that. I can see RibFans fine, but there have been some other posts where I just get the window with the red X in the upper left corner and no picture. I thought it was the server that was hosting the pictures that was keeping me from seeing them.

    RibFan, great looking wings. How long was the indirect cook at 275? I am going to do a batch this weekend and have been debating indirect vs direct cook.

    This was a bit of what I call a cerebral cook (had to figure out logistics of how it was to be performed). I forgot to mention I used cherry chunks and apple for smoke.
    I put all the wings on and let them go for 40 minutes. I then took grill extender off and dumped wings in aluminum tray. This allowed me to flip/move around ones on main grill and put back on extended grid and put the wings back one.
    Left for about another 40 minutes. I then took off wings on grill extender and sauced them and returned for about another 20 minutes. I then took the wings off grill extender and resauced and put on raised direct grill of small egg. Small was set for about 375.
    I just did this till all the sauced wings were removed from grill extender and then I sauced wings on the bottom and put them on the grill extender for another 20 minutes. My reasoning being that the temp is higher on top layer hence the longer cook for the wings located on the bottom level.
    Same proceedure then for grilling resauced wings.
    I dont put a lot of emphasis on cooking times I go by when they are done to my standards.
    Hope this helps answer the questions posed and thanks for the compliments....it was a fun cook (the rum didnt hurt either :)

    Thanks for this post, RF. Wing cook times are controversial around here, varying from just a few minutes to an hour or even two. Yours look great, and you cooked them for about what I would.

    Bordello and AnnaG, thanks for your comments, actually wasnt too bad once I had a "system" down for doing it. I find challenging cooks are often the most rewarding.

    Brad, I like experimenting with different cook times etc to make a product that I am proud of. Then again, I am my own toughest critic :)

    Great idea about getting the char on the wings with the SBGE. I'll try that on the next time I do some chicken. BTW, your tray full of wings looks great!

    Thanks!
