  2. Smoke the wings for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. If desired, toss the wings in some BBQ sauce just before serving.
Serving

Notes

For best results, try using various wood chips like hickory, apple, or cherry. Marinating overnight or giving a quick grill finish can enhance flavors as well.
