I always smoke some almonds thi time of year. Today I did 12 pounds. I do them 6 pounds at a time (3 pounds on top and bottom rack of Weber Smokey Mountain). I use the pans with preformed holes in the bottom then place that in a regular aluminum foil pan. The bottom pan catches the coating run off. There are many recipes out there. Find one you like and give it a try. 2 cups in a little bag make great give aways.
