Smoked Eggs

[BA_LoKo]

Yes, you heard right.

Awhile back, out of curiosity, I threw some raw eggs in the smoking chamber. At this very moment, I cannot recall the exact cooking temp or the length of time I left them on there, so as I do them again in a few days, I will edit this post for more accurate information. In the meantime I will go off of memory as to what I did.

As I recall the temp to the left side of my horizontal was around 190-200F so that's where I placed them. I left them in there for around 20-25 minutes. When they came off of the smoker, I peeled one, applied a touch of salt and pepper, and enjoyed a very nice treat. The white portion had a nice 'toasty' brown throughout, while the yolk didn't seem to change in color much. The flavor was really better than I had expected. I used hickory on them.

As mentioned, I will do them again in the near future and update this post as necessary, as well as add some pictures too.

P.S. I mentioned this to a member here (as well as a local friend) and he seemed to think they would be outstanding being used for deviled eggs. I think he's on to something there!!

OK Kev, checkin' here.
You put RAW eggs on the smoker and they cooked completely? That's what I'm getting.
First time I ever heard of this. Interesting!
And yep, I'd say devilled eggs could be just the ticket!
Now I gotta go get a bunch of eggs and try this.

That's correct, Mike. They cooked completely, as if they had been hard-boiled. I look forward to hearing of your results.

I wouldn't try this at too hot a temp, or you might have egg on your face and all over your cooker.

Sounds like a fun thing to try, Kev! Next time I smoke, I'll have to try this, just for fun. I'd love to see pics of this.

This just might be a great idea! If you do them at the same temp as boiling water, the eggs won't know the difference! In fact, if you put them on something heated to temp and solid (like a heated cast iron skillet), why couldn't you smoke them over easy or over hard, or as an omelet?

I like this one...

I gotta try this next time I smoke just to see what I get. Interesting idea.

Well, this didn't work at all. Two in at 225* for 30 minutes. No smoke penetration and came out soft-boiled. Sorry these are a little washed out.

Never done them raw, but I like 'em hard boiled smoked. I take and split them like an avocado, keeping the yoke in 1 piece. I smoke them separately becuase the white's get rubbery if y'arnt carfeful.

With that said, the soft boil above looks pretty good to me though. Just needs some bacon and a biscuit, and you'd be set!
