Not a big fan of pellet grills. EVERYTHING is smoked whether you want it to have a smoky flavor or not. I do love my Weber gas grill for grilling and if I want smoky flavor I have a Pit Boss pellet smoker which is awesome.

He may have scored a Hat Trick.🙂
Nice ol' Scout too!

I am gonna start to learn about smoking soon. I have already started collecting different types of woods and researched different techniques both on the grill and in the big Green Egg. I will try most all of the suggestions within this thread offered so far, but to start out, I want to see just how close readily store bought items (the complete opposite of my original intentions) can get me. Then, I will work my way up to recipe's like the one John offered above.

So far , I have collected the following -

2 jars of Walkerswood jerk seasoning in mild. (for the wife)
2 jars of Walkerswood jerk seasoning in Hot and Spicy. (For me boy and I)
Temporarily going to use habanero peppers - bought 5. (For me boy and I)
Ordered Scotch Bonnet Peppers (4oz worth) and seeds off Etsy.
Pimento wood chips - https://buypimentowood.com/
Jamaican dry spice mix from the Spice House.

The rest of the seasonings that are typically used, I have in the normal spices I have on hand. Garlic and onion powder, thyme, sea salt, all spice, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar, cracked black kampot pepper, fresh ginger and cayenne pepper.

Gonna cut up and brine the wings in a sugar and salt solution for a half an hour, pat them dry, poke holes in them, then add the Jerk seasoning, to blend in until cook time tomorrow. The wood won't be delivered in time, so these won't be smoked, but it should give me an indication if I am on the right track or not.

This is what I use. The mild has enough spice for me. You want spicy, get the hot. It WILL be hot.
