Bought my first verticle smoker

[Egclassic]

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to smoking and I just bought, and used for the 1st time, a masterbuilt propane vertical smoker this weekend.
I smoked a full slab of ribs using the 3-2-1 method and they turned out great.
However, I also smoked some jumbo chicken wings and they turned out horrible! I smoked them for about 2-1/2 hours. The skin was tough as leather, but the meat was fairly tender.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance!

lot's of reasons why skin was like rubber, biggest reason is you need to finish chicken with high temp to crisp skin, or finish them on hot grill.

Ok thanks. I will try again this weekend, they are cheap enough if I screw them up.

If you're doing just wings themselves..
.. run them hot and faster.

What temp? Around 325?
