Brine drumsticks?

So, I normally brine my white meat chicken/turkey for added moisture for slower cooks.
I just bought a drumstick hanger and a bunch of nice chicken legs. Should I brine dark meat? Or is it moist enough as it is?
Thanks for any info!

Klag,
Are you brining the white meat when cooking on the egg?
When I do turkey and chicken on the egg, I haven't had a problem with dryness.
People that are not used to eating egged turkey or chicken most common question to me is, 'are you sure this is cooked enough'.

I believe there is no such thing as too moist when it comes to turkey, so brine away I sayhappy in the hut

If I have the time, I brine, even for as little as 2 hours. Scott
