Cap City Build & BS AF

Smoking hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs for the fam get-together at lunch. First time I've done this. Fingers crossed.

 

Hold up... so you're smoking em to boil em or you already boiled em and now just adding smoke?

 

This time we boiled and peeled them. Set the Traeger on "smoke" (around 160) and put them on for 30 mins.

I've read where you can put them on the smoker raw for about 2-1/2 hours and they'll cook and smoke.

MsWalla says Costco sells pre-boiled & peeled eggs. If that's true I'm going that way next time 'cus the ones today were a total PITA to peel and came out poorly appearance-wise.

 

The trick is to transfer em to cold water as soon as they're done boiling. Then peeling is a ton easier. I don't know why, it just is.

I used to do those. Even did an Ironman in 2004. Since then I've digressed to mostly mountain biking and some trail running, though next year I'm thinking of getting back into the xterra circuit.

 

Taking the wife and kiddos out for Mexican food.
What's this dude doing under her dress.

 

Keeping it from getting dirty from dragging on the floor?

 

My middle sister made eggs Benedict and my steaks came out great

 

It's part of the story of the Lady of Guadalupe.

 

And... Somehow I got sucked into a ball joint and CV axle job. Dumbass tow truck driver dropped it in the middle of the driveway, so we have to fix it right now just to get the cars out of the garage.
CV was rusted in solid, put heat on it, whacked the fuck out of it, ended up having to get plasma cutter involved.

 

That sucks sorry for your pain.

 

I'm cooking mothers day dinner for wifey and everyone benefits. Haha
Ribeye, bacon wrapped scallops & lobster tails.

 

I'm cooking too but nothing fancy. Just Ribeye and some ribs.

 

Ribeyes are good, my favorite steak.
Lobster tails were on sale for 4.99 a tails & they're only 3oz or so. Haha

 

All done, no complaints & clean plates. Haha

 

Ribeye is my favorite cut of steak as well. I was just cooking for the boyfriend and I but we've both got full bellies and smiles so I think it was all good. He doesnt eat pork so I just tried the ribs and they came out pretty tasty. First time I've smoked/indirect heat cooked anything on this grill since it doesn't have a seperate box so I'm taking it as a tasty lesson and going to tweak some things for next time.

 

Looking good all. I posted mine in the smoking thread.
