Green Egg vs Traeger chicken wing comparison, with pics

Traeger was easier, but the green egg put out the better product.

Here were the wings raw:

The green egg product

And here was the traeger product along with some chicken breasts

Overall, flavor goes to the green egg. crispiness was a lean toward the green egg. setup and ease go to the traeger.

Yeah, we already knew pellet poopers put out inferior food.

Anyway, what sort of seasoning and smoke wood did you use?

Charcoal or lump in the Egg? Brand?

Half the wings got a jerk rub along with some slap yo' mama rub. The other half got a ranch seasoned powder along with some cavender's greek seasoning. lump charcoal was standard lump I get at my local gardening store - nothing fancy. Did not use wood chips to smoke either. I find wings get enough smoke on the egg as is. I am actually considering doing a drip pan with water next time to decrease the smoke produced by the chicken fat hitting the plate setter. For the traeger just a standard blend of pellets I picked up Sam's club.

I get a great product with the Weber MasterTouch kettle. Just need to pay attention to what you’re doing

Not familiar with the the master touch. Is that what you call jacking off these days?
