So I cold smoked hard boiled eggs and they turned out good. What would happen if you smoked them in about 150 degrees? The reason I ask is I have some jerky I want to make as well and thought I could maybe do both at the same time and save some pucks.
If you're talking about previously boiled eggs I don't see any harm in smoking them at 150. If they're not already cooked they won't be at that temp.
They will already be hard boiled. I was just wondering if there was any reason why I could hot smoke them. I couldn't think of any reason why either.
They might get a little rubbery in texture. I know if you over cook hard boiled eggs you increase the sulfur taste, and a greenish layer forms over the yoke, but I'm not sure if this can happen to already cooked eggs that are reheated. Other then that they should be fine.
Steam the eggs in a steamer. Peel and cold smoke for 40 mins.
It works well put mine in when I started the smoke then when the smoke was done removed them real good
My wifie made scallop potatoes tonite with smoked Monterey Jack Cheese.
They were delicious!
I ran across this on the internet sometime ago and found it on my desktop.
Brined Eggs
I usually put six peeled eggs in a wide mouth quart jar. I am sure that for a larger batch, you can use an empty ice cream pail. [If you do not like ice cream, you can probably find someone to volunteer to eat it for you.] Once you have the eggs in the jar, you will need to mix your brine. The brine is simple. You will need the following ingredients.
2 Tablespoons Liquid Smoke, 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce,1 Tablespoon sugar and 1 cup of Water. That is it. You will add them together in a medium pan, bring to a boil and pour into the jar with the eggs. You will put them in your refrigerator or in a cool spot for 3 days. They; the 'smoked eggs' are then ready to slice and eat. Enjoy!
This is not my recipe and I have not tryed it.
My tested recipe is as follows and is excellent:
1 1/2 cups of vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pickling spice
Boil ingredients for 5 minutes and then pour over hard boiled eggs. These are excellent on their own; however, I cold smoke the eggs for 40 minutes before pouring this over them which makes them even more fantastic. I have had nothing but compliments.
Sounds good. I love pickled eggs. If you like a little zing, here is a recipe you may want to try on your next batch.

Thanks, I'll add those to my list of "new things to try".
Does any one add onions to their pickled eggs. The one my mum made when Iwas growing up always had them and I always eat those first. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nepa,
So you just take ground beef and wrap it around the hard boiled egg and smoke it or what excactly do you do? Looks interesting and would like to try it.

Yeah I put lots of onion in my pickled eggs. I even pickle sliced onions to eat with BBQ food like eating pickles.

I could be wrong but I think he smokes the eggs and then pickles them. Then he wraps them with the meat and smokes them again.

You can also use sausage. Google for Scotch eggs. That will give you a ton of recipes, and the basic instructions on how to make them.

I'm the same as Quarlow. I put a lot of sliced onions in mine also.

Home made Scotch eggs ......... :P ;)
I sometimes add finely cubed smoked bacon to my recipe, other times add finely chopped chilli to make a spicy version. Beats the supermarket cr*p hands down. :)

Generally these type of posts don't get me hungry, but now I'm wishing I had a couple for breakfast.

Ditto, it made me hungry so I had to pop up the hospital canteen for breakfast! ;) :D No Scotch Eggs there today but they did have some great freshly cooked kipper fillets which together with brown bread and a mug of tea was a suitable alternative! ::)

This recipe is what i call Armadillo eggs ;D
Well, if you want some Armadillo let me now - widely available on the roadside down here. ;D
Us also. Passed 8 half-shells on a 10 mile drive out of town Tuesday. Unusual for us. I wonder if there was some sort of migration or just the males chasing females!
One of the pastimes of some of the locals who have nothing better to do is to place an empty beer can (16 oz tallboy preferred) in the paws of a fresh roadkilled Armadillo. It's kind of cute, looks something like this (which is a taxidermy pic)

Soooo, How many of these have you made up? ;D
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it might ... you get the idea. 8)

NePaS, can you share what temp(s) for smoking and heating, and about how long on the heating after the 4-puck smoke?

To put smoke to the hard steamed eggs i go with 130*/smoke.
Wrapped in GB i go with 190* for 2 hours then PID to 200* for 2 more or until meat is done.
