I tried 2 new things today! one I have never seen ANYONE else do (could be a no tomatoes original probably not though) and the other was inspired by the post below. I have really wanted to try smoking wings for a while now. I have heard nothing but good things about wings and quarters out of the smoker but I have always been afraid of the skin coming out rubbery even though that has not been a problem with any of my other chicken smokes.

First up is a quick batch of ABT's with old faithful filling. Cream cheese, creole seasoning and shredded cheese! yum....
Ready for a wrapper
Next up is a no tomatoes twist on one of Los Angeles's favorite street foods.
that's right, smoked bacon wrapped hot dogs! last up is the wing...
I used a tweaked version of the eyeballed recipe in the thread I posted up top. Here are the ingredients but everything was guestimated until it tasted good.
And now for the end result.... sadly this is the only picture I took before it was all massacred.
So what did I learn.... well as awesome as a dirty bacon wrapped hot dog is up in LA, they don't stand a fucking chance against a smoked dog. I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome these thing are. We served them with caramelized onions and fresh guacamole and they were easily the most amazing hot dogs I have ever had in my life. The only dogs that have been remotely close were the "japanese" dogs from the dogzilla food truck and even then ill take my smoked dogs instead.
The chicken wings and quarters also managed to exceed my expectations despite the sauce being slightly sweeter than I would have liked they were moist and tender! Best of all they cook FAST basically the same as abt's so you can make these as a snack or appetizer if you wanted without much drama. My next batch of wings will probably just use a dry rub and then maybe be sauced once they are done. But then again I prefer a spicier wing over a sweet one.
