A few legs for college football

[cornman]

Sorry, not many pics at all. Had two packs of chicken legs that were asking to be smoked for a day of football. Put some Cowboy rub on and put them in the WSM with some apple and hickory. Less than two hours later, they were over 165. We were going to wait until dinner time, but I couldn't wait and the mrs. joined in too. Only two legs left when I took the picture. They were juicy and delicious.

Not a big college football fan here, but I like chicken legs and those look good. Were they done at a higher temp the skin looks crispy?

Since my daughter works for the University of Georgia - I have to say go Bulldogs.

The smoker was running slightly hot around 275 and I only put a little water in the pan as I've found the combination of the two helped get the skin crispy but keep the meat juicy.

I was rooting for UGA as they beat Norte Dame. Always root for whoever plays ND.

What temp did you smoke them at?

I smoked some legs this weekend but I did it at 225. Is it a better idea to do it at 275?

I was keeping my temp around 275 as that seems to keep the skin crispier. I put a very small amount of water in the bowl too compared to other meats.
