After reading this thread by AlaskanBear http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/110443/smoked-my-nuts, I knew what I had to do. Found this 3lb bag at Costco for under$10.
I made some nut racks out of some disposable grill toppers from wally world. Just folded up the 4 sides and they fit perfectly in the MES. The holes are large enough to let smoke in and small enough to keep my nuts from slipping out.
I followed the recipe in AlaskanBear's thread but I quadrupled it since I was using the whole 3lb bag. Once the almonds were added to the mix they were bagged in a 2 gallon ziplock and shaken well to get a nice coating. I let sit in the bag for an hour then smoked at 235 with cherry. Smoked for 3 hours. Divided into 3 bags. 2 I left as is but the 3rd got some cinnamon and sugar mix added. Delish!!!
