YUM YUM.. I tried these once but hard boiled them and used ground Italian.. wasn't that impressed.. but these (soft boiled) look SOOOOO much better and I think the Jimmy Deans sounds like the way to go.... Guess I'm gonna have to try them again, your way, If you don't mind...

when you say soft boiled at 8 minutes is that bring them to a rolling boil, remove pan from heat and let sit for 8 minutes and then into ice bath ?

geeze thanks for all the compliments. read about eggs on here and kindly filled in the blanks and looks like i got pretty lucky. this is my first time doing these. thought that the runny middles sounded better than hard boiled. 

i brought a pot of water with a lid to a FULL ROLLING boil on the stove. set digi timer @8min, then got eggs out of fridge and into pot. eggs were kroger generic brand large size. all i had to work with. once in the boiling water on stove, i put lid back on pot and left on stove on HI for the 8 minutes. never turned stove off until after i had eggs in water cooling off. when timer went off, eggs went into a waiting bowl of cold water. managed to get em peeled and into the freezer. as outside began to freeze/frost over when i pulled em out. guessing 20 mins. wrapped em in sausage and into smoker. did em hot. i was in a hurry but also didnt want them to solidify centers while cooking the meat. 

I hope this is the details yall want. I can't think of anything i'm missing. if i have, i'll blame the beer. just tell me what else you need.

Perfect center !

That question of how to get the center perfect has been floating around here for a while. Looks like you nailed it!

dward,

thanks. believe it or not, i just got lucky. 

i did forget a few specifics. from researching on here before i ever started, i knew i wanted to keep the IT of yolks not much over 140. After 40 minutes or so (guessing on time) i stuck the therm. into one of the smaller eggs, it was already at 158 so i pulled the 2 small ones immediatly. the 4 larger ones were already at 143 so i went ahead and pulled them. eat the small ones first. 1st is the one i got pic of. 2nd, yolk was a bit more solid. one of the 4 larger ones, the white was still a bit soft. other 3 were as close to what i would call perfect. i figger some of the issue is the sausage not being a uniform thickness. only thing lackin was a biscuit, gravy and tomato.
