How To Smoke Wings
As always, start with quality wings. The better the ingredients, the better the end cook. This does not only work for wings, but for everything Grilled Jawn shares. (Bonus points if you find a good butcher and get to know them well.)

TIPS: Since this is a quick an easy cook — you will see when you learn how to smoke wings how perfect they are for days when you have extra space in/on the smoker. Also, whenever we fire it up, we like to fill up all the racks in the Pit Boss Vertical Smoker. Wings are the perfect way to make sure your smoker is full.
