Do you mean smoke drumsticks and coat them as if they were chicken hot wings?
You can do it, but they won't be much like hot wings - too large and the meat is a stronger flavor, is much tougher, has more connective tissue that needs to break down plus it's greasy to boot. The attraction to hot wings is because because they are small (high sauce & crisped skin to meat ratio), have a very clean flavor, rather tender, have very little connective tissues that need a long cook to break down, so they can be cooked and crisped quickly.
Gator's recipe for smoked wings is kick-ass:
