Thorough test! My pellet grill only has one rack and using the 0-400 method, they looked good at the flip but then proceeded to dry out and burn. Tried another batch the next day and checked on them 10 minutes after the flip and they were perfect.
Do you have any experience adding a little cornstarch before the air fryer or a convection oven? I have heard that helps crisp them up but I have yet to try it.
Pro Tip: I disagree, The 0-400 produces a wonderful wing, smokey, juicy, tender and not rubbery at all. But to be fair nothing really beats deep fried, wings, fries, shrimp, fish are all better deep fried. But it is also a lot more work and mess from beginning to end straining the oil and refrigerating it for the next fry. All things considered 0-400 is the way to go as it is an excellent trade off all said and done!
The problem with pellet smokers is they actually cycle above and below the target temperature, much like a regular oven. Some even vary as much as 15 degrees hotter and colder. You’ll actually be spending a fair amount of time cooking hotter than your goal temperature, so set it a bit lower to 390, and use a thermometer probe to monitor the oven temp. A great trade off: Try 30 minutes on the bottom rack, then 30 on the top rack.
I thought you were supposed to leave the lid open on the smoker through the ignition process. This is the 2nd video I’ve seen where the lid has been left closed.
Great video. I did 20 and 20, which was too long on the Yoder. I recommend 15 and 15. I have a method that will beat the deep fried one. There's a video out there ;) Good stuff Steve! 🍻
I dont need to do it to know this wouldnt work on my yoder smoker. If I set it to 400 its going to launch way past 400 and than settle on 400 after about 20-30 minutes. Wings will be black in 10-15 minutes.
My Pit Boss produces all kinds of unhealthy smoke on startup. They do not recommend placing food on the grates until the startup is finished. So 0-400 is a no-go on a Pit Boss.
There was no twist. The only difference was cooking on the top vs bottom rack. The air fryer and deep fry methods were completely unrelated techniques.
Great video! But how do people even come up with these stupid ways to cook? Blows my mind. Cooking isn't an exact science. There is no one way to do things. If you want to follow a recipe, then become a baker. Even then, there are so many factors that can affect your results. Just become a better cook with trial and error.
This was a terrible cook i don't have those other things it's too make dinner easier not smoking and deep frying.....not sure why you did this i don't trust your opinion anymore so I am removing your vedio
So which is it 1 or 2 hrs low smoke then fry for 10 minutes? Earlier in the video you said 1 hr low temp smoke then at the end you said 2 hours.

Thank you for doing this comparison. Very helpful and objective. Just because 0-400 wings are edible doesn’t mean they are as good as deep fried!
I have done the 0-400° method and toss them in Buffalo sauce. So the little bit of char is good. Now I will try your method to see. Thanks Steve!
Nice!
I like brining, smoking and then frying. Seems to take on more smoke flavor. Great video!
That sounds amazing! Deep frying is king for sure
What were the temps of them coming off the rack?

Tried it years ago with mixed results. I haven't tried it with the air fryer
You are absolutely correct "can't beat fried wings."
Need to try this!
My kids love my smoked wings! 🔥🔥
I am big fan of your channel and i am doing follow up your channel when you start ❤❤
Thanks!
Could you taste the smoke on the deep fried wings?
The thing I'm curious about with the 0-400 is that you're supposed to start most pellet grills with the lid open to avoid your grill going boom.

Top rack is the way to go! Don't know about the 0-400 method though

Ur lying
I'll check it out!

That initial smoke with your pellet at startup is toxic. Mmmmm … love the thought of that dirty smoke soaking into my wings.
Starting cold with door down? Boom!?
375 for me
375 for 35 flip halfway. I keep the wings whole bc less cuts means the juices stay inside. Come out awesome!
I understand the method! Really!! If your wings look like lump charcoal! You’re not paying attention to your wings!🤨

right put ur own twist on a simplified method dont follow to the t ur grill may burn hotter etc.....

Your beard needs some tlc. Lol
Full on dad beard mode
permanent playoff beard
All fun and games until your pellet grill explodes and the chickens go flying

I did not come up with the zero to 400 method
@SmokeTrailsBBQ oh no I never thought you did. I was saying in general. You rock man! I watch all of your videos!
@@phillipcarroll6625 thank you!
I thought this fad was a thing for like a month that ppl did and stopped like 2 years ago. I remember watching this on RACZ channel.
Always top rack. At zero to 400 u get dirty smoke
Top rack seemed to work best!
That white smoke is not good for your food
Of course you cant taste smoke....you used pellets
This was a terrible cook i don't have those other things it's too make dinner easier not smoking and deep frying.....not sure why you did this i don't trust your opinion anymore so I am removing your vedio
This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.
@@heavyq well thanks you for acknowledging me so apparently I live in ur head at the airport...... loser
Ok thanks for watching!
