Preheat the smoker with super smoke if you can with the lid closed for 5 minutes.
Turn the heat to 225 degrees and preheat with the lid closed for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the rub.
1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar, 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar, 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt, 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard, 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika, 2 teaspoons Oregano, 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
In a disposable pan, toss the chicken wings and the rub until everything is heavily coated.
3 Pounds Chicken Wings
Arrange the chicken pieces evenly in the pan and set the pan in the smoker.
Close the lid and cook for 1 1/2-2 hours or until it reaches 165 degrees at the thickest part of the meat.
Pull the pan off of the smoker and heat to high heat or heat a grill if your smoker doesn't allow that.
Place the chicken directly on the grill and cook on each side until grill marks appear.
Set aside with foil laid over the top for 5 minutes.
Serve!

This dry rub can be stored in a jar with a tight fitting lid for up to 6 months.
