Trying the VIRAL 0-400F Chicken Wings | Are They Cripsy?

[@scottd143]

Nice video. Thanks for the tip on spraying a measuring cup before measuring sticky stuff. Great idea.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

That trick is gold! Works so well

[@rivermagic]

I love cooking wings on the smoker, for us in Northern Ireland chicken wings are really cheap - i mean £2 per kilo hell yes! gotta try this method come Spring mate so cheers

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Wings here can get a little ridiculously priced

Another awesome video. Digging the behind the smoker camera angle. Those wings looked amazing.

Thanks! I’ve experimented over the years with the different angles and I really like that one

[@SoSpiteful]

I’m just on a Pit boss Lexington. With the chamber being smaller than most of the smokers. I learned that 350 is better than 400 for my smoker.

[@davidvandruff9368]

Question. Aren't you suppose to start pellet grills with the lid open? I have a Woodwind Pro and don't find anything saying to do it closed. Your thoughts?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Leave it open at the very beginning to get those gasses and thick smoke out, then you should be good

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

This Lone Star Grillz needs the lid closed during start up…. Opposite of most pellet grills

[@conrailhbgline]

Nice and simple. I usually like to brine the wings overnight before and might try this method instead for tomorrow. I have an offset charcoal smoker, MBGS, do you think the same approach could be done with the cold start?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I take that as you have the Masterbuilt Gravity Series? I would say you’ll have to monitor the time a little closer because the gravity series gets up to temp much faster than pellet grills

[@conrailhbgline]

@@AndersonsSmokeShow, thanks, I do. My MBG definitely isn't consistent on how long it takes to warm up so I might probe a couple wings with the thermo pro quad

[@mlindsay527]

Tried the sauce. A bit sweet for me. I might try 1:2 honey to hot sauce next time.

[@rickdeiss8978]

I was always told to start the grill with the cover open or the gases in the fire could go bang.

[@markowen7129]

LSG smokers are built to start with the lid closed, unlike some others like pitboss and such. But I've read in that instance you would keep the lid open until the startup procedure is finished and the heavy smoke dissipates. Then you would close your lid and start the 0-400 process from there.

[@doug0365]

[@walleyewiz1308]

So semi stupid question...... on my camp chef the first step is start up with the lid open to avoid combustion explosion. So should we just be putting the wings on as the CC does it start up process or wait until after startup?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Not a stupid question. The LSG in this video needs the door closed during start up. Let yours clear of the dirty smoke and then add them. I’d assume the startup process would still be going but that’s ok

[@walleyewiz1308]

@AndersonsSmokeShow Makes sense and that was my thought as that's some dirty smoke! Love your content! Keep it up!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

I done 0 to 400 a lot of times. Very good. I noticed different pellet grills I had to add 10 minutes to the cook time. That sauce looks legit

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Thanks! Because of the size and material, this one took a little longer to get up to temp.

[@bobbicatton]

That sauce sounds fantastic👍😊

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

If you like some sweet and heat, its great!

[@ChrisPollard]

So, you're starting these on a cold pellet grill and letting them sit in the dirty start-up smoke? Or did I miss something at the beginning about putting them on an idle (aka not running yet) grill?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Good point, I guess I probably should’ve covered that. This pellet grill actually needs the lid closed during start up. I think pretty much every other pellet grill needs the lid open, and for those I would suggest leaving the lid open for the first minute or two to let those combustible gases, and that really thick white smoke out.

[@macc4]

What smoker are you using? I was looking at the camp chef woodwind pro but here in Australia they ate like $4500 looking for something similar

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

That’s the Lone Star Grillz 20x42 pellet grill. $4500?!?! Holy cow!

[@brandonmullen2328]

Hey something I'd love to see, this vs the campchef woodwind pro. Also, a grill I've been interested in is the members mark new grill that has a fire box and how it compares to the campchef. I know the build quality isn't the same. But its 1/3 the cost so it would be neat to see how a $500 grill with a smoke box compares to a $1500 grill with a smoke box.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

The Lone Star Grillz vs the Camp Chef is COMING SOON!

[@JpLogan-ry6qk]

Quick question. Won't pellet grills blow up (smoke explosion) if you fire them up with the lid closed?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Some pellet grills, yes! This particular grill needs the lid closed on, start up. If you’re looking to use this method, first follow the start up procedure specified by your grill manufacture. Typically towards the end of that start up. When you hear everything running like a jet engine You are usually OK at that point because everything is ignited and running.

[@tackiestproduct]

I’ve had success mixing a touch of water with the cornstarch into a “slurry”, adding to the sauce then reducing into a thicker glaze

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

That’s a good point! It took a little finesse to get it to mix in good

[@alvinsmith8250]

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

[@bobby2131]

Also have you smoked any chicken breasts on your new pro smoker you got about 4 months ago?

[@kenbridges4102]

Maybe i missed it. Do u set the grill to 400f as soon as wings are put in, e.g no warm up?

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Yes, hence the '0-400f' name for this recipe.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I put them on in the cold grill then started it up.

[@wigglemans]

Great video!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Thanks!

[@Ollerman86]

Camp chef requires you to keep the lid open until start up to prevent a possible backdraft. How can I adjust this recipie to accommodate that?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Let it get through those initial first few moments of the start up. Once it sounds like a jet engine you should be fine to get started with this method

[@lionace1625]

If you follow up the pitboss start instructions, you will start your grill lid up. That produces a lot of "dirty" smoke? How can I utilize this method, giving concerns with the startup?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Once that really dirty smoke clears, the start up process should be almost over. You should be good to add them then.

[@lionace1625]

@AndersonsSmokeShow thank for taking time to respond, brother!

[@BBQdude719]

I don't know if I would do that on the masterbuilt. I think you/I would get dirty smoke at the beginning. What do you think?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

On the gravity series? I think the challenge would be the fact that it gets up to 400F way faster, which would affect the results

[@glenbrown8122]

Why don’t you have to keep lid open on this grill when heating up?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

This smoker runs different than others. Most pellet grills require you to have the lid open during startup

I do home brew. I do mead, wine and i may or may not have a bad ass still as well😉its a very rewarding and enjoyable hobby.

Most pellet grill makers tell you to start up with the grill open to prevent explosion... Any concerns in that area? Or are people putting their wings on right after the initial startup completes? Great content, man!

Wings look killer as usual... The only issue I have with the 0-400 method is all pellet smokers take way different times to reach temps. Either way I'm def gunna try out your honey buffalo sauce on my normal webber kettle wings that I've perfected over the years! I'm also not a fan (at all) of redhot, so I'm excited to try a different stlyr of "buffalo" sauce on my wings

[@asarge61]

I'm going to try this in a couple of weeks for a wing freak that's is coming over. Way to get back in the game!

[@chrishall1407]

On the BBQ brethren website the sauce is referred to as the "rule of 3". Meaning equal parts sauce, honey and butter. You can tweak any ingredient to whatever ratio, but it starts with those 3. Extremely useful when trying to make up your own flavors. Also, I have a Mak grill and have been EXTREMELY jealous of the Lonestar grillz pellet cookers due to their ability to handle their wood chips along with pellets in their hopper. I can confirm that my Mak WILL NOT work with any ratio of their chips with pellets on a Mak. HOWEVER, the time it takes to reach 400 on a Lonestar is much slower that my Mak when the temps are very cold. I definitely was not expecting that! Looks like instead of replacing my Mak..... I'll just be adding a Lonestar.😂

[@robertjason6885]

As to skin, I salt them the night before, then into the fridge. The skin seems to be much crispier.

[@bobby2131]

Have you smoked chicken breasts on this smoker and did you get a hard skin where you can peel it off?

[@Tradefy]

Great video but I would recommend to salt them a few hours before you smoke them, even better overnight. The difference is a much tastier product, also it would dry out the surface and should make the wings even more crispy eventually.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I could see that helping. I've done dry brines, and even soaked in Italian dressing before too.

@@AndersonsSmokeShow I bet! I’ll need to try that for sure!

[@Indianear7]

The manufacturer of my pellet grill suggests that I leave the cooker open upon startup to reduce the chance of an explosion and the taste of bad smoke. Couldn't you start at a low temp, say 170F and raise it after a few minutes?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

So in that case I would let it run open until it really starts to get going. Those gases and bad some is usually only at the VERY beginning of the ignition process.
