This is my entry for the Eggs Throwdown...

When I think of eggs the first thing that comes to mind is breakfast. With that being said, my little brain couldn't come up with anything more creative than a basic good old plate of eggs, sausage and hash browns. I've never tried doing them on the smoker so this is my first shot.

First off the ingredients:

I figured I'd give Yardbird a try for a little more flavor:

I decided to put the eggs in dishes and basically poach them. I added a little bacon grease to the dishes so they wouldn't stick. Eggs, sausage and hash browns all seasoned and ready to go:

Got the smoker up to temp. I'm sure the neighbors are thinking WTF is he doing at 5:30 in the morning. At least I wasn't standing out there in my boxers for a change:

On the grill they go:

I ended up stoking the heat up to about 275 to get things cooking. I set the timer for half an hour and when I came out everything was done. I figured it would take longer so it's a good thing I used the timer. Here are the results:

The Yardbird really gave the meal a nice flavor, and the half an hour of smoke helped as well. The egg yokes were a touch more done than I would have prefered, but all in all still very tasty. Next time I'll probably pull them off a couple minutes earlier. The sausage was a little pink in the middle which I like, and the hash browns were nice and crunchy.

Thanks for looking...

So yer neighbors are cool with you standing around with no boxers?

It's never occurred to me to smoke my breakfast - not food anyway. Looks fantastic - I'm gonna have my cooker going in the early hours this weekend - I'm gonna check that out, 'cept I have tater tots instead of hash browns on hand. Thanks for posting! :thumb:
 
That looks mighty fine AL! A breakfast fit for a day on the links:becky:! I will be tryin that one myself!:thumb:
 
Looks great! I never thought about smoking my breakfast before. The rub is a good idea for the eggs, i think i will use some even when i make eggs on the stove.
 
Looks great Al! I wouldn't be too worried about what your neighbors think, I get up and get the fire going sometimes as early at 4:30... they're used to it!

Yep... of the eight neighbors I have around me, half of them are police. I'm sure they are used to saying "Move along... nothing to see here" :tsk::doh::heh:
