Here are a couple of yardbird cooks from this week,,,

Wings ,
Marinated the wings in hooters sause, and dusted heavy with Plowboys Yardbird Rub,, which is really a really good rub if you have not tried it,, I love it on everything...pulled them out of the fridge the next afternoon and smoked them at 235 for two hrs with peach wood,, also made some homemade fries and dusted them with the yardbird rub,,, everything was off the hook awsome,,,

Chicken halves..
This was a basic rub with plowboys and into the smoker at 235 for 5 hrs untill internal temp reached 170,, a little peach wood and they turned out great as well,,,

So far I'm loving my little #2 its doing everything I want it to with ease and making me look really good...

Nice cook Puddle ... I'm partial to smoking wings myself ... and may have no choice since I was forcibly volunteered to cook some food for the holiday weekend.  ;)
 
looks great!!!! how long did it take your smoker to get up to 235? you only smoked them for two hours right... ?
 
Mine comes up to temp in about twenty five min...
My temp swing was wide on this cook with not much in it, about 260 top and 218 on the low side if i remember right so they had some higher heat at times,, but yes two hrs total...

on my first run with the #2 the chamber was packed  with babybacks and it took over an hour to come up to temp..... wings shouldnt create such a barrier and / or keep my overall temp down as low... look and sound great!
 
Thanks Bob,,
  If you haven't tried wings. give it a shot some time,
I like them better then frying them after the first time I had them...

As a side note to both of you:  250 works really well with halved wings as it gives the skin a decent bit of texture and reduces the amount of time on a grill or under a broiler that you'll need to crisp the skin.  I've even experimented with par smoking the chicken (250 with a normal wood load for 90 minutes) and then a quick trip through hot oil (three minutes or so, just until the skin is crisp) ... dear sweet baby cheeses is that good.
