How to Smoke Eggs

1. Prep – Preheat the smoker to 325.
2. Smoke – Place the eggs directly on the grates of your smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 30 minutes.
3. Peel – Remove the cooked eggs from the smoker and place into an ice bath immediately. Chill completely. Peel the eggs.
4. Smoke – Reduce heat on your smoker to 180 degrees. Return the eggs to the smoker right on the grates. You could also place them in a muffin tin then place that on the smoker. Smoke for another 30-45 minutes depending on the amount of smoke flavor you want in your eggs.

• Prep – Preheat the smoker to 325.

• Peel – Remove the cooked eggs from the smoker and place into an ice bath immediately. Chill completely. Peel the eggs.

Why do you place the eggs directly in an ice bath?

Placing the eggs in the ice bath will make them easier to peel. One of the biggest complaints about smoked eggs is they are difficult to peel. This little trick will make it easier!

What Pellets Should I Use when Smoking Eggs?

This one is really up to you. The eggs will really take on the flavor of what pellets you use because they have no shell at the end.

A mesquite pellet is going to give you a bold flavor, while a alder or maple wood pellet is going to give you a more mellow flavor.

What temperature should I smoke eggs at?

To start we cook the eggs at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until they are cooked or “hard boiled”.

When you place these eggs back on the smoker after peeling them you want it to be at a very low temperature. This is because the eggs are already cooked and you aren’t looking to cook them, just to smoke them to give them that smoked flavor.

We smoked them at 180 degrees Fahrenheit after they are peeled.

If your pellet grill has a “cold smoke” setting you could even use that.

Why is my egg yellow?

This is totally normal, so no worries! The longer you leave it on the darker it will get from the smoke.

Can I smoked hardboiled eggs?

Yes! If you’d like to hard boil you egg on the stove top or in the Instant Pot to start you can do that.

Then just peel the eggs and follow the directions on how to smoke the eggs.
