Ingredients

1/2 cup soaked hickory wood chips
12 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Add wood chips to grill according to manufacturer's directions. Place eggs on grill rack. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Remove yolks, reserving whites. In a small bowl, mash yolks. Stir Miracle Whip, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spoon or pipe into egg whites. If desired, top with additional paprika and chopped parsley. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.

Test Kitchen tips

The eggs take on a mild smoky flavor from the hickory chips and turn a light amber color.

The idea isn't to further cook the eggs on the grill, just to add smoke flavor. Be sure to place them over indirect heat, not over the coals.
