what I've done for my wings, I light my coals (lighter fluid), at 12 mins I place the wings on the grate (no rebars) and put on the lid. At the 15 min mark, I flip the wings over and the lid back on for 10 mins. At that point, if I have sauce, I sauce the wings, I take the lid off and leave it off for the rest of the cook till the wings reach the char I'm looking for. The heat will crank up pretty fast to the point it will be hard to flip the wings when you get your hand over the heat
