First attempt at smoking nuts
1lb pecans 12oz of almonds
half of each I soaked in a brine solution of 3/4 cups of salt and 4 cups of water for 2 hours
Both batches I coated in egg whites then coated them in this mix
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp of butter
(Borrowed and modified from http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/55449/smoked-almonds Thanks Dionysus)
150 F for 3 hours
2/3 Hickory 1/3 apple
Filled the smoke box approximately ever 1/2 hour for the first 2 hours
Last hour raised the temp to around 200
The batch that I soak in brine came out a little more chewy but other than that they came out good.
Left brine right with out
Left brine right with out, front with popcorn salt back with out
Next time I think I will just try with out brine and a larger batch
