Equipment

Smoker
Wood pellets
Kitchen tongs

Ingredients

6-12 large fresh eggs

Instructions

Preheat your smoker or pellet grill 325°F(165°C) (don’t cook at a lower temperature, for food safety). Fill the hopper with your preferred pellets.
Place the eggs directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 30 minutes. You can turn the eggs during cooking, to brown them evenly.
Place the cooked eggs into an ice bath until fully chilled. If you don’t plan to use the eggs immediately, store them in the refrigerator.
Peel your cooked eggs.
If you want, you can double smoker your eggs for more flavor. Set the temperature of the smoker to 175°F(80°C). This low temperature will prevent the eggs from getting overcooked. They are already cooked, so we're just trying to impart smoke flavor.
Place the eggs on the grill. Smoke for 30 minutes.

Notes

While applewood and hickory are popular choices, don't hesitate to experiment with other wood chip varieties like cherry, mesquite, or even pecan for unique smoky flavors.
If you prefer a milder smoky flavor, start with a smaller amount of wood pellets and adjust to your liking. It's easier to add more smoke than to reduce it once the eggs are cooking.
If you smoke your eggs a second time outside the shell, watch them closely so you don't overdo it, or they'll become rubbery.
