Smoking raw eggs

[hawkce541]

I was at a party Saturday and one of my friends was talking about putting raw eggs in the smoker.  Supposedly the shell is porous enough to let the smoke through and smoke the egg inside.  When you crack the egg to cook it, it will have a smokey flavor.  I had some cheese going so what the hell, I put 4 in with the cheese.  I haven't tried cooking them yet, but has anyone heard of this before?

Well, in 40 minutes, we'll find out.  I'm going to cook one to see if it's smoky at break time.

I think they weren't in the smoke long enough.  They had a little color and a "different" taste, but it wasn't very noticeable.  If you didn't know, you wouldn't notice.
