Been smoking alot of leg quarters lately.The kids love them and there cheap but I can't seem to keep the skin from being rubbery and tough.Any tips would be appreciated.

What temps are you running? On the UDS, I like 325-350 degrees.

It's a common problem with poultry when you try to cook at too low of a temp. 325 to 375 degrees will get you perfect skin every time. Beware the cooking times are a lot shorter at the higher cooking temps.

and if that's the dome temp, you may be cooking sub 300.
I agree with others, the easiest option is to jack up the heat.. If you are concerned with lack of smoke, start a bit lower and then jack it up as you go.
other options exist like using certain topical coatings like mayo, oils etc, removing fat under skin etc. but those are more complex and likely not needed for your purposes.
good luck.

+1 for the higher temps. Run the 325-350 and it should crisp up the skin.

350, sometimes skin side down at the end for extra crispness.
