Hi Greg,
Thanks for this guideline. I made 2 bags of Costco wings. I doubled your brine recipe. I use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid on it as my brine container. I did these for a big superbowl party. The cool part is that I was able to smoke them the day before, then put them in the fridge. I grilled them the morning of the Superbowl then put them in a big foil pan. I made a mix of bbq sauce, buffalo sauce, and pepper plant hot sauce. I coated them after coming off the grill and put them in a warming oven. They were a big hit. I smoked them in 2 batches in the number 2. My seasoning was a mix of a weber Kick N Chicken and famous Dave's Chicken seasoning. I really dig the simple brine and love Pecan wood. Due to the smoker load, I used 4 ozs of wood. Of course, I made way too much, but lots of people are happy about that! Thanks again. This was very helpful.
