Wings

I know this has been discussed probably a lot but I'm getting reacquainted with my egg and haven't cooked on one for a couple of years. So here goes. I want to cook some wings for my wife today and I forgot it you cook them direct or indirect. I know I cooked them for 45 minutes. I have wing racks which I know are great because I used them all the time before. So what's the best setup for wings? Thanks Mark

You can go either way but I prefer indirect so you don't have to worry about burning them. I usually do around 375-400 indirect for about 45 min then sauce and go raised direct for another 10-15Greensboro, NC

I usually do raised direct for dry rub and raised indirect w/ a drip pan for wings I baste.There really isn't a bad set up for wings as they are hard to screw up. Shoot for 175-185ish and they'll be awesome.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Here's a process I closely follow and get great results-http://www.nibblemethis.com/2009/06/30-20-10-smoked-hot-wings.html YMMV. Happy New Year.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I like mine crispy. usually cook indirect until they are completely cooked then go direct 450 until they are dark brown and crispy. great with dry rub or traditional bbq or buffalo
-
btw//// where did you get the wing rack... hard to find for me?
-
I'm not sure where I bought them. They were 15.00 and came with a drip pan which is nice. Google "wing rack" it'll come up. don't pay more than 15-16.00.

I follow instructions similar to @lousubcap posted and use a metal mesh basket for easy tossing in midst of cook. Inderict 400. I like them crispy. Be careful not to put to much rub on them, it is easy to do.

I made wings yesterday. 60 drummettes, overnight in a brown sugar 10 spice rub, smoked for approx three hours at 250-ish, crank up the heat for the last 15-20 minutes to get some good crisp. Would have made a hot sauce but it was for a party w/ kids and had to keep it tame. Love a good smoked wing. Forgot to take finished picture.South Florida - Large BGE (DOB: 12/07/2013)

I cook wings usually once a week. I prefer raised, rubbed, indirect at 375 for 1.5 hrs sauce the last 15 minutes. Small piece of applewood for smoke. Great resultsLBGE, Weber OTG w/ Rotisserie, Weber Genesis S-330, Chargriller Duo, AR-15, AK-47
