Ref; Pickling Eggs and Hot Dogs!!

[TomKnollRFV]

I am suffering smoker withdrawl..a week with out the smoker going..so I decided to fire it up and do some eggs. Gonna do about 24 or more today. I think closer to 30 when I'm all done. Got a batch on right now for pickling. Nothing to elaborate.. and I decided hey, why not pickle some Ball park franks I had in the freezer!

... Any one ever pickle ball park franks? Like is it just going to be some thing disgusting or actually good? Just wondering.

Still undecided on if I want to go spicy or not!

Never pickled Bpf’s but we’ve pickeled ring bologna, jalapeños, eggs, cucumbers, habaneros, etc...

You should try to pickle some of those smoked eggs. The picking usually washes out the smoke flavor but a pickled egg is still great!

Good luck

Oh trust me..my smoking egg method is 2 hours in the shell, then an hour on the grates after shelling. Hitting them with hickory the whole time. And I am going to pickle the smoked ones :)

I forgot to oil my grates when I put the shelled eggs on. A few sort of stuck. I also forgot to get out my grill sheet. I guess doing things randomly leads to this ;)

I used a combo of apple and white vinegar and ground yellow mustard, old bay seasoning..sriracha and garlic and a good bit of salt for this. I'll take pictures after I eat my spare smoked eggs and some bbq pork. If I had put all the hot dogs in first I think all 18 eggs woulda fit. I only got 16 in!

Horrible picture as always..but you can see that the Old Bay and all coloured <as did the smoked eggs them selves>

Looks great!

We shall see if it is! I've never been able to just nail a good pickling brine for eggs!

Had to pull the egg salad eggs earlier on the second smoke..20 mins. Didn't even get to really let my smoker cool off for hours before covering it. I mean it's like sheets of rain. But I mixed the egg salad with regular mayo. Salt. Pepper. Garlic Powder. Onion Powder. Spicy Brown Mustard... Smoked Paprika and my secret ingredient..Tobasaco!

Here's a thread on Utopenci, which is pickled sausages or hot dogs. I have a jar of pickled hot dogs in the refer and snack on them whenever the urge hits.

I saw that before! I'll be going to some speciality stores fairly soon to pick up stuff for Kalua pork..think I'll have to get some pre cooked sausage to smoke and pickle too!
