Wings on the grill or WSM?


 
Me and the wife were discussing wings/drums earlier today. I'm thinking about smoking them first then crisping them up on the (gas) grill afterwards.

Wings need high heat and you can get high heat numerous ways:

But if I had to pick a favorite

Thanks much, Chuck! So you've had no issues with too much heat in the WSM? Did the grate buckle?

I guess I need a mini vortex for an 18.5" kettle, Bill. Not sure if there is enough of room for wings though.
 
Bought some wings on markdown today for about $1.63/lb. and I can't wait to try them on the WSM. The last wings I made on my grill, vortex style, came out great. Of course... I smoked them with a smidgen of hickory and my little lady thought they were too oversmoked. (I didn't mind, because I enjoyed the flavor.) I want to smoke some with cherry so badly next time.

I'm probably gonna sound stupid (don't judge! Still new to my Smokey Mountain; I'm in the middle of my third smoke as we speak), but Chuck, how long did you leave the door off your WSM during that particular cook?
