    Smoking nuts: raw or roasted?

    I love smoked Brazil nuts; they're just the best. But I've always smoked roasted ones; does it make a difference if you smoke them raw? I can get a really good price on raw Brazil nuts right now. Thanks!

    Eggsperiment

    Sorry about the title; couldn't resist.  I've got this itch to do some smoked egg stuff: smoked deviled eggs, smoked Scotch eggs, smoked Scotch eggs made with scrapple (Pennsylvania Dutch eggs), smoked pickled eggs... But there seems to be difference of opinion on how to best smoke the eggs...

    SMOKER CLEANING

    I'm no expert, but I do have an electric smoker (a Smokin Tex 1400), and I leave the grease on there till it's time to do the next run. I figure it's like greasing parts you don't want to rust.

    FIRST PORK CROWN ROAST

    Going to try Jeff's recipe tomorrow for New Year's Day. Any tips, or just follow the recipe? Oh, one question: did you use a temp probe, and if so, where did you place the probe? Thanks, got my fingers crossed!

    Leftover chicken for stock

    Got Jeff's newsletter about smoking chicken in a pie pan to skip the brining step, and immediately bought two chickens from the Amishman at my local farmer's market, and did them up for company last night. They were great (I used pecan wood instead of apple, no big deal), but then our company --...
