Smoking a pumpkin pie on the pellet grill adds a subtle wood-fired dimension that transforms a classic into something truly special. The gentle smoke infuses the custard filling during baking, creating a pie with unexpected depth. No one can quite put their finger on what makes it so good — that is the secret of the smoke.

Instructions

Make the filling

Whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla until completely smooth.

Fill the crust

Place the pie crust in a pie plate. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing the top.

Smoke the pie

Set the pellet grill to 325°F with pecan or cherry pellets — these give the most subtle, pleasant smoke. Place the pie on the grate and close the lid. Smoke for 50-55 minutes until the filling is set around the edges but still has a slight jiggle in the very center.

Pro tip: Place the pie on a sheet pan for easier handling and to prevent the crust from burning on the bottom.
