Welcome from Minnesota. My vote is for the SRG - but they are all very versatile. If you haven't tried wings yet, you need to do that!
Could you point me to your favorite wing recipe? I love wings, but I've never tried them in TBE.

What happened to the Sizzle on the Grill forum anyway?

Char-Broil stopped supporting it. We were getting blasted with spam and porn (not the spam and porn that we all know and love  ;D ;D ). It was sad because a bunch of good people hung out there and it was a good forum.....but now we are all here and you are in good shape........

My favorite is very simple:
I load the basket (with racks) with as many wings as I can get in there - usually about 30 (I have an SRG a bit bigger than TBE). I do not add anything to the wings at this point. Put them in the cooker and put the mesh top on. Usually they take 45 minutes to an hour - you can smell them as they get close. When they are done, I melt a stick of butter in a bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce and toss the wings in the sauce. Although I do several others, this remains the favorite of all the folks in my neighborhood.

Sounds easy and delicious. I can't wait to try them. Thanks.

Could you point me to your favorite wing recipe? I love wings, but I've never tried them in TBE.

I have the original The Big Easy and have 4 racks for the basket. I buy the big wing flats from Sam's and separate the wings into flats, drummies and tips. I freeze the tips for crab trap bait and season the wings with whatever rub I have, sometimes just black pepper and garlic. After the rub has had a chance to work I put them in a Ziploc and pour in some Dale's Sauce and let them marinate for a few hours. Drain and dry them and put 4 layers in TBE and cook for 45 minutes or so. the top rack will be done first,take them off and 5 minutes or so take the next rack off until all are off. These are called Birmingham Wings, they come out almost a black color and crispy if you do it right. My wife makes homemade bleu cheese dressing for them.

Thanks for the recipe TwoPockets. I'll give it a try someday. Wings are great for watching football and football season is finally here!  ;D

Ken's recipe does sound good (they usually do!)

Only reason I don't pre-sauce my wings is, once I start making them people keep showing up. They all want something different - from Franks, to teriyaki, mango, super hot, etc... - so I make the wings straight and then sauce them in batches.

But, if I can sneak a cook in, I'm trying Kens (twopockets.)
