cool day here , only getting up to 107 today.  This is 2nd time using wing sauce and smoking the wings but

first time injecting them with the wing sauce. S2K9K did a post on injecting wings so I stole the idea from him.

smoking them on my UDS . I always put my temp probe on each side of the grate. I can have a 50 degrees

difference from one side to the other. So I put a water pan under the top grate. 40 minutes into the smoke and

the temp has been within 5 degrees . so will be using some kind of baffle from now on. going to try a pizza pan

with hole in it next time to see how good that works. If I stick with the water pan I'm going to fill it with sand and

foil the top.

I injected the whole chicken with butter/garlic/rub mix.

in the smoker

started out with the temp around 230, now 45 minutes into the smoke the temp is slowly going up at 250/255

I have the ball valve wide open and one cap off. i'm going to get the smoker up to 300 and finish it off on the higher heat.

also have baked potatoes on . after the chicken comes off the BB ribs will go on.

thanks for looking.
 
Looking Good Ed! Can't wait to see the finish! I love me some wings!

Oh and you didn't "steal" it from me, it was a gift, I gave it to everyone!

Thanks ,

 There is so many great ideas that I get from SMF. I copy anything that looks good into my "evernotes" file.

No the chicken isn't 279 degrees

the smoker is slowly going up so I'm just letting it go. once it reaches 300 I will adjust it to stay there.

water pan is working great on keeping the temp even on both sides of the grate.

going out now to probe the whole chicken to see how its doing. and see how close the wings are to being done..

turn out great. Will be injecting butter/garlic mix into the chicken from now on. Forgot to brine so was hoping

the injection will help keep it moist. Don't think I need to brine when injecting . Took just a little over 2 hours

to get done.
