Wings Tomorrow WSM

[Jim C in Denver]

There's a couple brands of garage door handles that people have used. I have the Everbilt ones on my 18.5. They look just like the pictures in the link below.

The link below has a number of other ideas for adding handles.

Your wings look great!

A note on temps, I really see no reason to not run your pit any lower than 325°. When I do wings I start hot and finish hotter. Get plenty of smoke flavor and crispy skin. When I had my 18, I went with no water pan and would start the wings when the pit temp was 325°. Vents open and rolling. Depending on time the pit would end up close to 400°. If both rack are loaded with the higher temps, you need to rotate the racks or the lower wings will burn.

With my 14 I only use the top rack now, as I usually don't need more than 1 pack of whole wings. If I do I will use the lower rack and rotate them every 10-15 minutes.

I quite smoking chicken low and slow about a decade ago and haven't looked back. High temp smoking chicken is the way to go.

Genie garage door handles also fit - IF you can find them in Canada.
