Smoked Chili Pistachios

[BGKYSmoker]

Dont know where my wife got this recipe at but she handed it to me.

2 cups salted shelled pistachios

1.5 tsp ground cumin

1.5 Tbs chili powder (your choice)

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1.5 Tbs worcestshire

1/2 tsp salt

I added

1 Tbs melted butter

1/4 tsp cayenne

Set the nuts and sauce aside.

Mix all the dry together real good.

Set aside.

Now put the nuts in a larger container and add the sauce and melted butter.

Coat the nuts really good and go pre heat your smoker @225* and your oven or bbq to 275*

Now add the dry to the coated nuts.

Use all the dry.

I put a ham bag and frogmat on my rack.

Now in the smoker. I only use 1 wood puck (20 mins)

While in the smoker, Line a cookie sheet with parchment (for oven)

Nuts from smoker, ready for the oven. 275* for 8 mins, toss nuts around on parchment at the 4 min mark.

Now cool, place in air tight canister or zip lock (if they last that long)

You can double, triple this recipe.

Next time i will add.

Another tsp brown sugar and cayenne.

Where would I be able to come by a mesh rack like the one shown in your pictures?  I'd like to give nuts a try but the only thing I have like that is a sort of vegetable wok thing for my grill.  I think the mesh would work better.

Think I am going to try these soon.

I too would like to know where to get some of that wire mesh.
