I've done leg Qs this way before, but it's been so long I don't remember temps or times. I use an internal thermometer, but I still need a ballpark for time, because I'll be doing this on a schedule (tailgating). I won't be using a lot of smoke for this, just because I'm bringing my big pull-behind cooker to the tailgate, I cook with gas, and don't feel like and won't have time to mess with a foil pouch or any other smoke source.
Basically I'm cooking leg Qs, I want them to be fairly crisp on the skin, and once they're pretty much done, I'll dip them a few times in my homemade vinegar-pepper barbecue gravy and put them back on the grill for a few minutes for the sauce to cook in and the sugars to carmelize a bit. So my question is what temp would you cook the quarters at and about how long will it take? Many thanks guys and gals. I'm doing my first smoked turkey or turkey breast in a week on my smaller smoker and will be back for more help soon! Thanks a ton.
