Taking a page from our DIY Coffee roasting brethren, I built a nut rotisserie tumbler for almonds (perhaps mixed nuts.)
The design is similar to this one here:

Is anybody using a peanut or coffee roaster to tumble mixed nuts while smoking?
I will be washing and seasoning my new (poor facsimile of the above drum) this evening and probably doing a smoke tomorrow: I like the salt brine and eggwash method I've read here.
I know that tumbling will remove the spices - I intend to cold smoke either brined or oiled nuts then season prior applying heat - The heat will either be in the tumbler or in pans in the oven.
The reason I'm doing this is trying to one-layer in pans small enough for a 16x14" vertical is a pain in the butt, and my fans are very demanding!
I may need a bigger smoker ;)
