Tried using Jealous Devil hardwood briquettes for the first time on some wings and treated them more like charcoal briquettes than wood. That resulted in these WAY over smoked wings. Now I know you gotta get them in a chimney and have them 💯 caught so they burn clean. Either that or don’t be a dumbass and read the lighting instructions 😆.

Not a fail. Just call them double smoked wings.
I mean I’d still eat em
Looks good tbh
Leave them sit in fridge for a few days and the might taste fine. Also can grind up into chili?
I see no issue here
Thems is salvageable. No failure here just learnings!
Great white chilli
I doubt it’s just me but these still look good
If those are wrong, I don’t want to be right
as long as you cant smell the smoke inside the fridge from the cold wings, all is good.. my 1st smoke was constant smoke for 3-6 hr on thighs.. the smoke smell was so bad you could smell it in fridge… my family refused eat it, more for me. Yea..
Whats wrong with them in your opinion?
Some are a little blackened.
Sauce!
We would all eat that.
I’ve learned to enjoy the failures so I can learn from it. Better to learn these things comfortably rather than when hosting.
I’d smash those my friend.
Id tear those up. I love my meat smmmookkkeeyyy.
To be honest, mine have looked like that more than once cooked in the kettle. Usually caused by me putting in prematurely. They tasted just fine. I’ve found a good alternative is if they are getting to dark too soon, to pull off and put in a air fryer/convection oven to finish as the smoke flavor has already been imbued
Get a vortex
Whaaaa this is how we grew up on bbq chicken. Nice color!
Those are fine.
Here is a trick just use a little bit of charcoal and wood pretty much just to create smoke. Put them in there for like 30 mins then cook them in the oven at 425 20 mins per side.
Over smoked? Is that a thing?
One thing I think I should clarify. I’m not using charcoal briquettes. I’m using these…

It’s basically like burning wood not like charcoal
Did you FAIL to eat them or something? Those look hella bomb.
Damn. So when us redditors coming for the next ones?
Looks good to me.
Looks good to me
Says who, I’d fuck with those
I like crispy and burned wings. Little bit to brunt but still looks good and I would eat them.
Those don’t look bad at all actually
Poultry absorbs smoke better than anything (outside of fish). Next time either simply use a lump charcoal or use a fruit wood to smoke (like cherry or apple)
Just remember folks, if something is “over smoked” on its own that just means it’s perfectly smoked as an addition to something else, turn it into a smoky chicken soup, give it a day in the fridge to mellow out and spread those oils throughout and it will be perfect.
We just call that seasoning around here
They’re my favorite charcoal to cook and smoke with. They burn very hot compared to others brand I’ve tried.
