I'd put the glaze on at the end, about the last hour. Give the meat time to absorb the smoke flavor first.

Snuck some eggs on with the brisket for some smoked wasabi deviled eggs topped with a jalapeno slice and bacon...

Best wrapping of a Ping Pong paddle that I have ever seen

Got some good smoking-related gifts. Smoke tube, cast iron basting pot and mop, slicing knife, grill brush, “I’d smoke that” t-shirt.

Little brisket, burnt ends, some mac-n-cheese, smoked wasabi deviled eggs, and a bourbon/peach glazed double smoked ham...

Tried my hand at sous vide yesterday. Pulled a couple beef fillet's out of the freezer, thawed them, seasoned and vacuum sealed, then into my 15-month old's sous vide machine. LOL

We got two bottle warmer's for baby shower gifts. He's moved on from bottles, but we still use one of them to heat up his sweet taters, corn, etc. So one day I was thinking, why can't I use that as a sous vide? The only problem is it shuts off after 2 hours, so I have to turn it back on. Gave it the first try yesterday. Set it at 135-degrees and left them in for 4 hours.

Best filet mignon ever! I got the grill as hot as I could and seared them. Worked like a charm. And PhotoNinja was more than wowed! Now she wants me to do strip steaks, I'm not arguing...just need a real set-up for that.

Do you smoke the eggs in the shell? And if so how long/temp and how well does the smoke penetrate the shell?

My kids got me a new apron for Christmas.

Tried to attach a picture but I don’t see it. Might have to try again when I’m not on my phone.

ETA: got it

I picked up a 1000w Inkbird unit on Amazon for about $60 and it has been great. I like being able to monitor and adjust temps from anywhere through the app.

Does the Inkbird have the app-only controls? The top-rated one on America's Test Kitchen (Breville Joule) is app-only, not sure I want to g that route. Today I was looking at the Anova 1000w, which can be controlled by either an app or manual. I'll have to look at the Inkbird, thanks for the tip.

There are controls on the unit as well, but I find the app easier to use.

Yes. 225 for one hour then flipped them and cooked another hour. Put them in ice water for a few minutes and peeled. They peeled perfectly.

Some smoke does penetrate. Some eggs more than others.

Made another batch last night. My wife started them. She has a little trick for hard boiled eggs that makes them peel easier. She taps the big end of the egg on the counter before boiling. Not hard enough to open it, just enough that you hear it start to crack. Her theory is that a little boiling water gets in there and loosens the shell.

It actually seems to work well when boiling. But on the smoker, they were terrible to peel. Out of two dozen eggs, I badly mangled about 10 of them. I did seem to have a higher percentage of eggs that white was smokier.

I might pull some out of the fridge tonight and toss them on the smoker on low for a half hour or so to see it smoked them up a bit more.

I got a slicing knife too. A 12" Victorinox. May be the sharpest factory edge I've ever seen on knife.

It's kind of a PITA though. At 18" overall length and without a sheath, I'm not really sure where to store the thing. I opened the packaging carefully and slipped it back inside for now, but long term, might have to get something made for it.

Thanks much. I've seen previously cooked and peeled eggs on a smoker, just not in shell raw. And I have baked "hard boiled" eggs as well. Just never thought about doing them on the smoker. What seems to help with peeling is use older eggs, if they are fresh from the store leave them on the counter for a day.

Today was my boss’ birthday so I fired up the Webber at work and made a bacon wrapped meatloaf stuffed with peppers, onions, and provolone. Not pictured is the Bourbon baked beans and apple crisp that I made to go with it. Everyone at the shop is in a food coma this afternoon.
