Question regarding wings cooking raised direct

Hi all. My plan was raised direct for wings at 300. When I ran out of room I made a 2nd level and put the smaller pieces on top since they’re further away from the fire. One BGE recipe said cook 50 minutes then turn for about 10 more. 
With the 2nd level, do you have any suggestions? Rotate at some point or just stick with plan “A” and maybe have to cook the top ones longer?
they’ve been on about 10 minutes. Thanks for any ideas.

    I usually go raised, indirect at 300-325 for about 1.5 hours.

    Thanks for your answers. @Mickey your burnt cook pictures always crack me up.  A few years ago you posted a series of your "favorite cooks".  One after another after another.  Still makes me smile! 
    The results from tonight:  Fire ended up being about 325-350 raised direct.  Some were a little overdone at 50 minutes plus 5 on 2nd side.The upper level wings cooked only slightly slower than those on the bottom tier.  The confusing thing to me was how the tops of the wings were what browned rather than the bottoms that were exposed to direct heat.

    Also don’t forget TURKEY WINGS cooked the same way (slightly longer) is also great.

    @Mickey I’ve never done turkey wings, did you have to do anything special with them or can I just cook them like I would a chicken wing?
