Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet smoker to 350ºF. Place the piecrust in a Lodge Logic 10″ cast iron skillet. Place in the refrigerator.

Pour filling into the unbaked piecrust and transfer to the cooker. Bake until lightly browned on top and the custard has set, about one hour.

Cool the pie to room temperature.

To make the salted caramel, bring the sugar, corn syrup and salt to a boil in a small skillet. Boil until the sugar darkens to a caramel color. Remove from heat, add cream and bourbon and stir until smooth. Add butter pats and stir. Allow to cool slightly before pouring over the top of the pie.

Pour the caramel over the pie and chill to set.
