Just put a 12 pounder on the WSM at 300 degrees with charcoal and apple wood. I have 2 questions:
1. How do I keep the temperature up?
2. How many minutes per pound? I'll use a meat thermometer the last hour, to hit an IT of 170, but I need some guidance on how long to let it go, first...
My poultry brine is:
2 gallons water
1 cup kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 lemons, quartered and squeezed
2 oranges, quartered and squeezed
6 long sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large bunch fresh sage

Trimmed, rubbed, rested and ready. Hungarian sweet, salt, dark brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and ancho powder. Rubbed last night and in the smoker 20 minutes ago. First IT check scheduled at 1 p.m. Until then, it's on its own.
Beautifully done! Brining is definitely the trick to smoking wings. Keeps 'em moist but helps the skin crisp up. I brine mine first, then coat in a little olive oil and rub, then smoke at about 275 for two hours.
Normally, I believe that smoking meats requires a Y chromosome, but I have to give credit to my wife for this idea. I was looking for a way to start a max burn for my Father's Day Brisket Fest. She went to the hardware store and bought an empty paint can, cut the bottom out of it with a...
Tried doing wings for the first time this past weekend. I came here for advice first, and took a little bit of info from several of you, then added my own touches. They seemed to be a hit at our barbeque last night. Pure smoke, no grilling, no frying, but crispy skin. Here are my secrets.
