Instructions

Preheat your smoker or grill to 375°F for indirect cooking. If using a charcoal grill, add hardwood chunks such as apple or hickory for added flavor.
Wash the potatoes to remove any dirt and pat them dry. Poke holes with a fork or knife in the top to prevent them from popping or exploding while cooking.
Brush the oil or melted beef tallow on the potatoes before applying the seasoning. Make sure the oil has been applied to all sides before sprinkling on the seasoning.
Place the potatoes in the smoker and allow them to cook for about 60 minutes, checking their temperature after 45 minutes. Cooking time can vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
Remove the potatoes when they reach about 205°F internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing in (they are HOT!).
Add all of your favorite toppings, starting with the ingredients that will melt first such as butter or cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Monitor Temperature: For a creamy center, it’s critical that the potatoes reach a target internal temp of about 205°F. Any lower and they may be underbaked, and higher temps could cause undesired textures.
