How to Trim the Stalks

Grab a knife and cutting board. You want to trim the white and woody lower ends of the asparagus. The ends are usually tough in texture. You can read about The Right Way to Trim Asparagus here.

How to Season It

I like to add a few of my favorite spices along with salt. Here are other ideas if you are looking to switch up the flavor of these from time to time.

How to Smoke Asparagus

Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Smoker Temperature

I recommend 225 degrees.

Cook Time/How Long it Takes to Cook

It will take 45-60 minutes to become tender with the perfect texture. Flip the asparagus halfway through the cooking process.

What Type of Wood/Pellets to Use

The asparagus will cook fast, so I prefer strong smoky wood and pellet flavors, like hickory, mesquite, or the Traeger Signature Blend.

Stringy and Mushy Asparagus

This happens when you overcook the asparagus. See the notes above for how to avoid mushy asparagus.
