congrats!
Congrats. Care to share your recipe? Any Pics?
That's AWESOME!!!!
Congrats Mack.
Way to go!
Nice job Mack. Are they having a next round on the best wings?
No, the recipe from each winner at a Sam's Club event is sent to Tysons test kitchen and evaluated and tested. They will then do a taste off of all and the winner selected.
You need to tell Tyson's test kitchen they need your grill 
so if you can't discuss the recipe, tell us about the cooking process. What was your indirect temp and how long or did you just start on the direct side?
I'm struggling with wings on the FEC 100.

Bill, good point.
Mack, what's the "process" I got my own wing recipes (posted one here in the forum with 100+ variations alone)

No big deal, I can post the recipe if you wish. It has quite a few ingriendents.
The procedure for cooking is simple. Set the FEPG500 to 275* setpoint. Spray wire grates similar to cookie cooling grates with PAM and place the wings on with about a quarter of an inch seperation between the wings. Place one grate in the middle of zone four and one to the right on zone three. It will stick over but the lid will close and the weight of the wings will keep it from falling off. Rotate up down and around about every 15 minutes for an hour. At the 30 minute rotation, flip the wings. After the hour, glaze wings by putting them in an aluminum pan and pouring the glaze over and until well coated, place back on grill to set glaze. Remove and enjoy.
I have posted the recipe in the recipe section as Smoke'n Hot Wings. Some of the items may not be found in your local Kroger. The I+G is difficult, if not impossible, to find. It adds a umami (savory) flavor and increases the effect of the MSG/HVP. Without it, add additional MSG/HVP to taste. MSG and HVP are similar products, just a marketing angle as MSG has an undeserved bad rap.

Smoke'n Ice - your winning photo was just posted on Facebook through the KCBS FB page. Is that you and your wife holding that big award? Your Wing recipe sounds fabulous. Does a lot of heat come thru in the finished product even without the glaze? Thanks for sharing your recipe.
