Chops and Wings, 'Warm' Smoked

[ArnieM]

The goal was to smoke up some chops and wings and freeze them for later use; slather on some sauce and give 'em a quick turn on the grill.

The ones in the pic below were smoked with 20 minutes of hickory and 1:40 of apple at 180.  The problem is getting them cooked into the safe zone without over cooking.  I don't trust chicken.  The chops were a little overdone and turned out kind of dry and tough once done on the grill with sauce.  I couldn't keep the temp low enough for a cold smoke (70^o outside).

Any suggestions?
