Note: It might just be me but I don't like the taste of smoked cashews.

 

when in doubt...just ask debi!!!!!!! as the kids say, she is the "shiznet"

 

fI find it hard to keep them in cigarette paper.....keep rolling out . Maybe I'll try a pipe!...For me, I use a blow torch to get em going (another groan. )

Really though, I've done pecans before. Soaked 'em in salt water, put 'em on a cookie sheet, and into the smoker for a couple of hours.

 

Forget what I said......I meant pumpkin seeds were soaked in the salt H2O, not the pecan. The pecans went straight into the smoker.

 

I wish we grew pecan up here! I just paid $3.99 for a lbs of halves at the Job Lot today.

I also got some unsalted/undyed pistashio nuts if I get them all shelled I think I'll try doing something with them too. I'm thinking a salted cajun spice thing ...

 

I let the little lady smoke my nuts.......oh wait...sorry....wrong forum......


I've given alot of thought to trying some myself......seems simple and I've bought some down in seattle at pikes place that were rather tastey......pricey, but tastey........I bet the little lady would love the pumpkin seed's done that way........hummmmmmmmm

 

Dizzy Pig has a recipe on their web page for smoke almonds.

 

Guess that proves I'm not a kid and my kids not a kid what the heck is "shiznet" ? Some kind of pasta?

ROFLMAOPIP!


Mike -

I don't think much smoke would get in the shells - there hard enough just to peel off!

 

I just tried these. Excellent! I added about a tablespoon of brown sugar to them for a sweet, spicy heat. There going in our permanent recipe book!! Thanks for the recipe!!

 

he he he...see what happens when you have teenagers around???? okay, urban dictionary definition:

shiznit adj. 1) the best; 2) the greatest, in a certain category or universally; 3) gaddam' phenomenal, bi-atch!
Master says, "I'm the shiznit! Hell'z yeah!"

now I need to go get my nuts smoked!!!

 

Well I figured it was nice comming from you but I never heard it before. Must be that new rap talk language!

BTW Thank you!

 

well shizzle my dizzle......


little lady say's I have to post this pic since we have been talking about smoked nuts....

btw. little lady and I went out up to our fav little pub....had dinner and a few to celebrate my induction to the OTBS.....and then we hit the store to buy a bunch ol nuts to smoke tomorrow.......guess I gotta fire the masterbuilt up!!!!!

 

btw, got alot of my nuts on the smoker now....well......almonds with the spicy mix, but I already know whole almonds will not be done with a half hour smoke.....so we will keep an eye on her........

 

okay, here are the almonds all done......the directions say 30 minute smoke, but that ain't enuf at least not for whole almonds, this was a 3 hour session......they have a very light hickory taste, very good......
