Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds - Snow Crab Legs
  • ½ Cups - Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Tsp - Garlic Salt
  • 2 - Disposable Aluminum Foil Pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the pellet grill to 225°F.
  2. While the grill is preheating, place the crab legs evenly into the aluminum pans. If the crab legs are frozen, use cold water to remove any ice.
  3. Place the crab legs in the aluminum pans directly onto the grill grates, keeping the crab legs in the pans.
  4. Close the lid and smoke for 30 minutes.
  5. While the crab legs are smoking, melt 1/2 cup of butter and combine with the garlic salt.
  6. After 30 minutes, evenly brush or pour the garlic butter onto the crab legs. The excess will go into the pan.
  7. Smoke for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove and serve with additional butter, lemon, or the smoked butter from the pan.
