Smoked Mac and Cheese Help

[TeamAmerica]

Wanting some input on smoked mac and cheese. I have the recipe down. I really need help on best option to warm/smoke it.

I have two options: 1) electric smoker which tops out at 250 degrees - i assume i would have to finish it in the oven to crisp it. or 2) green egg - i assume i can get it hotter and crispy on top but cook/smoke for less time - would that reduce the smokey flavor?

Thanks for any suggestions. Also let me know how long you think a good smoke for mac should last.

I can't remember an exact time, but be careful with the smoke. Pasta absorbs smoke very easily.

Okay I was thinking 45 min max. And less wood chips than normal.

I would use the egg and your wood chip of choice on low temp, get about 45min of smoke on em and stir quite often then cover with foil to finish. I do this on my Stick burner, peach and pecan have turned out good for wood choices.

Every time I try it dries out quick. So any tips on that would be good to. I do it on a stick burner

I have read that you need to stir it occassionally while it smokes. Then had the bread crumbs last.

Went the green egg at about 300 degrees for 30 minutes with the heat deflector in. Finished in the oven for about 7 minutes at 400 degrees. Turned out fantastic. I can post the wife's recipe in full.

Try using a tad bit of pimenton aka smoked paprika.... adds the flavor but dont dry out on the smoker.

[Lawhunter]

That looks absolutely amazing

I haven't tried this. Might be worth my time.
