Tried Smoking Almonds

[LarryL]

Hi. I wanted to try smoking some almonds and followed the basic recipe that said to smoke for 20-25 min at 300-325. I made two batches and they both roasted up fine but didn’t really have a Smokey flavor. I’m guessing 25 min is too short of a time.

Anyone have any tips for smoking almonds?

thanks

Hi Larry, I found this.

Instructions. Set up smoker for 250F using wood chips of choice. Mix together the melted butter, salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in a medium sized bowl. Line smoker rack with aluminum foil and spread almonds evenly across the foil. Smoke for about 2 hours.

Increase smoking time and/or amount of smoke wood to taste.

Thanks Chris and Joan. I’m new to this so I stick to the recipe. I guess I’ll need to be more dynamic and call audibles. Thanks for the help.

I went online and folks are all over the map on this. Hey Grill Hey says 225 for 1 hr. to 1 hr. 15 mins. Amazing ribs says 225 for 30 mins. I don't think it's close. Bradley Smokers says 200 for 2 hours. At 300 you roasted but don't get much smoke in the short time. I think Hey Grill Hey and Bradley have plausible approaches. I don't know Almonds but I do know Jerky and Hey Grill Hey is spot on with smoking Jerky. I'd try her approach.
