Or maybe just roast at 375F with a smoke tube?

There really isn't an easy way to get them smoked just right and crispy skin for competition. If you are doing it for home, smoke em up like usual then put them skin side up under your broiler for about 4 minutes to crisp them up. Or you could put them skin side down over coals, but then you better be careful bout the skin sticking to the grill.
I'd just smoke them at 250 for about 2hrs with just rub on them, then flip em and crisp them over coals. Then glaze.
