Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil; toss with hands until coated. Coat wings evenly with dry rub.

Light charcoal and heat smoker to 170 to 200 degrees F (77 to 93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Drain wood chips and place half of them directly on the charcoal. Spread wings evenly on the cooking grate skin-side down.
