To sauce or NOT to sauce your smoked wings?

I think I'm gonna try smoking some wings on Sunday or Monday. Do you guys make any sauce for your wings? I found a rub that I'm gonna mix up, but was wondering about sauce. Would sauce completely ruin the smoke taste?

I'm thinking I may mix up some sort of honey/bourbon sauce and put it on some of them and leave some of them bare.

Thoughts?

I use Roxy's Cajun Rub on mine. Then depending on my mood as to what sauce I want. Usually a sweet and heat sauce.

Sauce doesn't ruin the taste of bbq chicken so why would it ruin wings?

Sauce them if you want...you don't have to sauce the entire batch.

Good point. I smoked them on Monday and put a homemade honey/bourbon glaze on about half of them. Both were pretty tasty.

It was also the first time smoking on my new Brinkman Gourmet smoker. I made a modification to the coal/wood pan and had pretty good success with it. Gonna try a couple of butts on it this weekend.

I actually put on the rub and sauce them before I smoke them for two hours then throw then on a hot grill to give them some char (which is like and extra flavor in it's self) then I sauce them again.
My family loves them.

I actually just baste the wings with honey as they cook and then toss them in some buffalo sauces after I take them off. I also sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper before putting them on.
