Cook Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

12 eggs
4 cups bbq sauce
1 cup apple cider vinegar
hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your pellet grill or smoker to 325°. Take room-temperature eggs and place them directly on the grill grates. Grill for 30 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the grill and place them into an ice bath to chill. Chill for 30 minutes, replacing the ice as necessary.
Reduce the heat on your grill to 180-200°. Peel the eggs and place them back on the smoker for 15-30 minutes. The longer you go, the more smoke flavor they will have.
Take your BBQ sauce and vinegar and stir to combine. Place the eggs inside large glass mason jars. Don't pack them too tight. You want to have enough room for the sauce to really get in there on all sides of the eggs.
Fill the jars with your vinegar BBQ sauce, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 days before eating.

Notes

These are not shelf-stable or preserved and need to be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a week.
Depending on how tightly you pack your eggs, you may need more or less BBQ sauce + vinegar.
