    Smoked Boiled eggs?

    Wasn't sure where to post it but here goes... I saw one reference to smoking eggs here just in passing. Has anyone tried it? I was of course just wondering about different foods to try and smoke. Seems to me that the smoke flavor (hickory?) would be good with the egg. It should also stay...
