I see some posts where guys are smoking raw eggs in the shell? how do these turn out how long do you smoke them? does the smoke penetrate the shell? looks kool mite have to try some thanks again for any and all info!
You smoke them at 250 for about 3 hours. I would recommend using mesquite if possible, it seems to impart the most smoke flavor. Yes, the smoke does penetrate the shells. It is not a strong flavor, very mild. The eggs are taken straight from the fridge and set in the smoker. Make sure to keep them away from any hot spots or the shell will explode (after the egg has cooked, but it's still a mess.)
I have done them several time and they turn out really good. One thing I do, and you might want to try it, is to make deviled eggs. Hard boil like normal, then mix the yokes like you would for a traditional recipe, but add some red horseradish to it. Then lay them in the smoker for about an hour. FANTASTIC. I had a post of these that I made several months ago, but it appears is was lost when we had our site meltdown.
Well worth trying bowtie.
I like to use hickory on mine since I'm not such a fan of mesquite but they do pick up the light smoke flavor like Dawn said. I leave mine in for about 2 1/2hrs.
Yup... 2 1/2-3 hours at around 225-250. I use hickory and they get a very nice light flavor. If you are worried about any possible leakage I put mine in a foil "boat", keeps them from rolling around and if one cracks it stays in the foil.
I would definately second using them to make deviled eggs when they are done smoking.... its really, really good!
I did mine for about 3 hours @ 225 degrees, but I found them to be a bit overcooked. I'm going to try another batch tomorrow and I'm going to smoke them for about 2 hours at the same temp and see what the difference is.
