What are smoked deviled eggs
Those who like BBQ but have never smoked eggs are missing out. Like pickles, smoking eggs gives the whites a taste you don’t get with regular deviled eggs. If you’re asking why they’re called “deviled eggs,” the word comes from the 18th century, when it was used to describe highly seasoned, often spicy dishes. In the end, it was used to describe eggs with toppings.
The only difference between hard-smoked and hard-boiled eggs is that hard-smoked eggs are cooked in a smoker instead of in hot water. All you have to do is put them on the smoker and let them do their thing until they hit the consistency you want on the inside.
Why are they known to as deviled eggs
Smoked deviled eggs have been a popular treat for a thousand years. In the 1700s, though, they got the name “deviled” for a reason. When the Puritans told everyone only to wear black and not do anything, even putting spices in food was thought to be a way to invite the devil.
At the time, peppers and mustard were often used to make the filling of smoked deviled eggs spicy. This is where the name “deviled” comes from. I hope nobody was burned at the stake because they ate a few deviled eggs!
Why you’ll love these smoked deviled eggs
Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of deviled eggs. Only when I put them on my pellet grill and smoked them. With the extra taste, a plain hard-boiled egg goes from boring to “wow.” If you’re having a barbecue or just going to one, this appetizer is sure to please, and it’s easy to make ahead of time. You’ll have a great party starter if you serve them with smoked chicken wings.

How to Store Deviled Eggs
It’s best to eat deviled eggs when they are fresh. But you can keep leftovers in the fridge for 3 to 5 days in an airtight jar. Because of oxidation, the whites may get a little darker, but you can still eat them.
