Have been wanting to do a batch of chicken thighs for quite awhile now and was not disappointed. 5 #'s of thighs, used my rib rub and smoked them on my 22.5 " WSM, 3 chunks of cherry and one chunk of apple for the smoke. It seemed like a lot of smoke as it was cooking but they turned out just fine. Temp was held at 230-240 and I checked one of the thighs at 1:20 with my thermo pen, it was 174 internal so I pulled them all and foiled them and wrapped them in a towel to finish. We did not sauce them and did not eat the skins, they were incredibly moist.

 
They look great my friend!

We're not much on skin either but if you jack up the temp for a few minutes at the end you will have a nice bite through skin.  Usually too much fat in the skin for me, but every now and then I can't resist!
