Step 2
Remove from the heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 8 minutes, then drain. Cover with ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs under cold running water.
Step 3
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 165°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

Step 4
Place the peeled eggs directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for 30 minutes. Eggs will develop a light brown color from the smoke.
