Chicken cooked according to this time-tested and reliable recipe have allowed TheBBQGuy.com to win the chicken category at many FBA sanctioned bbq cook-offs, a KCBS event last year, and consistently places near the top of the field in almost every event we've entered.
My method for cooking chicken drum sticks on my WSM:
I marinade the chicken drum sticks for several hours, which helps to reduce the tendency for drying out. I learned that from The BBQ Forum also in a discussion about "Jumpin' Jim's" chicken recipe. I don't use the recipe exactly, but use a variation of it with good results.
When I'm ready to cook the drum sticks, I sprinkle them with my favorite chicken rub and place them on the cooker. For better results it pays to take a little extra time and make sure you thoroughly cover the meat. I use apple chunks and/or hickory chunks for seasoning. If I am cooking a lot of chicken on my WSM I usually place about 12 drums on the bottom rack first and then place the other 12 on the top rack about 30-40 minutes later.
The top rack cooks faster and splitting them into 2 seperate groups helps me with the timing so they're all done at about the same time. I cook them until done (about 2 3/4 hours) and brush them individually with my favorite sauce prior to serving. You could also just submerge each piece in a little tub of sauce, but I prefer "lightly sauced" to "soaked". Others may do it differently, but this process works best for me.
