So I want to do wings. I want crispy skin. I have a MB propane. I can get upwards of 350 degrees if I get everything right. I want to make wings, but not transfer them from the smoker to the grill or air fryer. I know I should use baking powder, but how much? Any help with recipes would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I run my first hour at 275 and then cruise to 300 to finish. Nice bite through skin. Prep wise I make sure they are nice and dry, rub them up and leave uncovered in frig overnight before smoking.

Thank you sir so much... Your wings look absolutely phenomenal. So, if I want to smoke Sunday, what should I do Saturday with the wings? Should I wash them, dry them, lay rub on with baking powder, and let sit overnight in the fridge? What about a brine? Put them on the smoker Sunday, at 275 for 1.5 hours, then boost up to 300 for the last 30 mins? I really want to nail the crispy skin through the smoker only.... It is a challenge for me that I want to master. Thanks sir.
 
I just lay them in fridge overnight to dry, I dont use baking powder, I dont brine , just some salt pepper garlic powder before I put them in smoker, usually start about 225 for an 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes then crank up to 350-375 until done.

I apply a decent amount of rub the day before, put on a rack in a sheet and in the fridge they go. I don't cover or wrap at all and they remain pretty dry. Similar to TNJake, I go 225 for an hour or so, but then crank up to 375 for 20-30 minutes depending on the looks of things. They always turn out crispy. I used to use baking powder, but don't anymore this way. If I'm cooking them on a sheet, then I will add between 1/4-1/2 tsp with a rub.
 
been told to brine for best results, got 10lbs defrosting for tomorrow, might give it a whirl
