Preheat your smoker to 165ºF with the lid closed while you prepare the garlic.
Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the tops of the individual cloves. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and season each with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the garlic bulbs directly on the grill grates or on a wire or mesh rack if you're using smaller bulbs at risk of falling through the grates.
Smoke for 2 hours, using super smoke or a similar function if your grill has it. After 2 hours, tightly wrap the garlic bulbs in foil and increase the grill temperature to 300ºF. Cook for an additional 30-60 minutes until the garlic cloves are golden brown and the bulb gives no resistance when squeezed.
Let the bulbs cool briefly before removing the cloves. You can squeeze the bulbs from the bottom to easily remove the cloves and create a smoked garlic paste, or you can peel the cloves to preserve their shape (pictured here).
