Jonty, now that sounds really good.

Ok, have just finished "Eggs part 2", smoked for an hour and then cracked the shells with the back of a spoon (lost my hammer!) and then given another hour, this goes down as a fail I'm afraid, having cracked the shell it kind of collapsed inwards during the second hour and was then a devil to get the shell off the egg, it has just taken about five minutes to pick the fragments off the egg (thats one egg - got another five to do!!!) There was no gain in the taste test that I could pick up on, I don't think it took on any more smoke, if anything the texture was somewhat rubbery. To sum up - not doing that again!!! Will go back to the instructions at the start of the thread.

I think the cold smoking method to start with has a lot going for it and will have to try it in the future.

Anyone know where I can get an Ostrich egg from for Thanksgiving?

Busch Gardens??

Just looked on their website, no Ostrich shown but have got some other some other egg layers there, Flamingo, Peacocks and ........... Gators - for people who like eggs with a little extra bite!

Not for Thanksgiving, unfortunately, but these folk may be able to help another time.

I've heard of smoked scotch eggs before!

Went on a cold smoking course on Saturday. Brilliant day out.

One of the items we smoked were eggs.
They were cooked first untll yolk just firm (need to practise that one). Shells removed and cold smoked for 4 hours. One lot in Oak. the other in Beech. They turned out really nice.
Now just need to work out whether to pickle them before smoking or after....

Was that at SkokeyJo's if not where?

No coldsmoking over at Milton Keynes with a guy called Turan.
