This two-stage smoking method ensures your wings have both incredible smoky flavor and the crispy skin that makes wings irresistible. The key is patience during the low-temperature smoking phase, followed by high heat to achieve the perfect texture.

Remember that consistent temperature control is crucial for success. If your smoker runs hot, reduce cooking times accordingly. The internal temperature of 165°F is your ultimate guide for doneness.
