Kettle smoked wings!

[BKING!]

Did some hickory smoked kettle wings! Still figuring the kettle out. Used only 2 oz of hickory to get a light smoke flavor. Seasoned with Weber’s garlic sriracha rub (highly recommended) and started them off at 275 deg. Half way through I seared them to get the skin crispy and finished them at 400 deg indirect. The end product came out very similar to what I’d get on my Mak which I’m very pleased with.

Smoke flavor was just right on these. I’m getting to a point where I prefer lighter smoke. Too much smoke I can’t taste the rub.

Thanks for the like it is greatly appreciated BKING.

Lookin' good BK.With a little practice and following tips on here your kettlemanship will become honed,so much so that you won't do wings on a pellet pooper.Most will tell ya to get a Vortex,you can't go wrong with one.However...

@zippy12 always has great results with no Vortex,he just piles the coals in the center, as I used to.

@chopsaw and I use the ring from our WSM 14's like this.

Here is a Vortex in action @mossymo hideout in the Dakotas,just the other day.

Any ring ~10-12" diameter will work,old pot,to expanded metal.You might have something laying around.It makes the air circulate in a heart shape or sideways figure 8 in the kettle,thereby "air frying" the wings whilst protecting them from the direct heat.

Wonderful wings. It is a good idea to have a guard dog to help you protect them!

I’ll see if I can find something. I got firebricks which I can form a square with. I’ll do some research on it

Excellent wings BKING, nice work!
If you have a Facebook account there is a group working on perfecting wings with the previously mentioned Vortex. www.facebook.com/groups/VortexBBQ
