Wade Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The first batch of nuts of 2018 are in the smoker. 6 Kg of Cashews roasting in the FEC.

Well it's nice to at least pretend I need a reason... I do need some more practice with the cider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the first time smoking anything, I didn’t account for prep time and only had a window of about 5 hours from start to getting things (nuts and cheese) vac sealed. With work, family life and being a fair weather outdoor cook, I need to work out where and how to find time! In the limited time that I had I wanted to smoke some cheese, so cold smoked the nuts as well. I put them on a tray and baked them at 180C in the oven for 12 minutes, I should have let them cool, but threw butter salt and sugar straight in there, mixed it all up and the salt and sugar just clumped together. The taste was lovely, just awful salty/sugary clumps. Smoked for about 3 hours 20, which worked well for me. Will follow the instructions you sent me next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
