Here goes.

I use a deep dish premade crust. I can send you a recipe for home made if you prefer.

1. Thaw the crust and set aside.
2. Beat four (4) eggs in a mixing bowl.
3. Add one cup of light brown sugar (I go over a little on the sugar)
4. 1/2 stick of sweet cream butter (I go over a little on the butter)
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla
6. 1 cup of pecans (pieces) (I go over a little on the pecans)
7. 1 cup of white Karo Syrup (I go over a little on the syrup)

Mix together and pour into your pie crust. You might be asking your self....why the hell does he go over on all these ingratiates? Well i like to fill the pie crust to the top. 

The recipe calls for it to start at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, and then cut it back to 300 so the temp is dropping while it is cooking. On the egg this is not really practical. What is important is a couple of things. You want to go indirect (if using a place setter, legs up. You will want to put it on the grill, i.e. not on a store. The hot stone would cause the crust to burn on the bottom. Don't ask me how i know.

The cooking time is about 30-45 minutes. On the egg, this may hold true, or require a little longer. I would shoot for about 375 on the egg as a constant. It is OK if the temps fall. Look for a nice puff to the pie....and a beautiful browned color. When you take it off, set it on a raised grid to cool. 

My feeling about the done-ness is don't look at it for the first 30 min. It will be done when it is done....unlike in a conventional oven. Oh and a few pecan chips give it a suttel smoke flavor. Do not over power with chips....just a kiss of smoke will bring great joy.

Let me know if you have questions.....

I'm just here to steal pecan pie recipes

I usually make this around the holidays, and it turns out well:

I usually try to tweak it a bit each year - last year I added a bit of bourbon, one year it was peanut butter chips, some maple syrup one time, and shredded coconut in another. There's all kinds of variations you can try. 

I haven't made a bad one yet

A must for perfect pecan pie.

I gave my recipe to the Cooking Channel after we filmed Man Fire Food.  The recipe is over 100 years old..hard to beat if you cook it right.  Oven times will vary--just watch it close at the end to get the right consistency.  Too short cooking time, it'll be like soup.  Too long, it'll be hard as a rock.

Use pre-made pie shells to save some time.

In her later years my blessed mother would make pecan pies like the bottom one. Not only that, she always wanted to get a head start on Thanksgiving so she would make the pies like a WEEK ahead. So when we would eat they were both burned and stale, lol. 

We would volunteer, “Mom, you want us to make the pies this year?” She was always, “No, no - let me do it...”
God rest her soul I miss her and those burned pecan pies every year.

Kroger had Marie Collandar pecan pies on sale for $3.99 frozen.  Took one home and thawed out!  Very good pie, and everyone at lunch thought it was homemade!

That's a great story, @SciAggie thanks for sharing. 

As my mom got on in years it was the ham or the turkey that she'd way overcook.  Some parts were pure carbon but it was all made with love.  We'd smile and eat what we could.  She's in memory care now.
