did some raweggs in shell today for first time in smoke hollow electric with the the smokai generator. temp was at 225 for 2 hours with smoke generator going whole time with apple pellets.
Although some smoke may penetrate through the porous shell, after cooking in a smoker as you did, many think the brown egg, after peeling, is smoke color. You will get the same color cooking it in an oven, as you did, with no smoke.Just a little bit. About 1/8 deep in the egg was the smoke ring.
How about try scrabbling the egg in the shell first, then hard boil it, peel it, then throw some love at it, I meant to say SMOKE!Those are known as pterodactyl eggs. Shells look cool but you don't get a ton of smoke flavor on the eggs themselves.
If you're looking for good smoky flavor hardboil and peel your eggs, then smoke them. 2-4 hours and you'll have the best hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs, pickled eggs, and egg salad sandwees!
