If using smoking tube:

1. Fill up the smoking tube with pellets, then tap it a few times on the ground to get the pellets settled.
2. Set the tube on a fire-safe surface (like your grill grate or a concrete floor) on end with the open side up. Fire up your torch and use it to light the pellets at the top of the tube. Keep going until the flame keeps going when you pull the torch away.
3. Let it burn for 5 minutes, then blow out the flame. You’re now ready to smoke.

If using a smoker:
Set Smoker temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed, for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.  

4. Place cooked and peeled eggs directly on the grill grate and smoke eggs for 30 minutes.
5. Remove from grill and allow eggs to cool. Slice the eggs lengthwise and scoop the egg yolks into a gallon zip top bag.
6. Add mayonnaise, chives, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce to the bag. Zip the bag closed and, using your hands, knead all the ingredients together until completely smooth.
7. Squeeze the yolk mixture into one corner of the bag and cut a small part of the corner off. Pipe the yolk mixture into the hard boiled egg whites.
8. Top with a small piece of cooked bacon, pickled onions, jalapeno or left over chives.
9. Sprinkle your favorite Unkie’s Seasoning generously.
10. Chill until ready to serve. Enjoy!
