Yes... filler for my garbage can.
Never thought of using them.
Reminds me of when I bought this house. It was winter and the ground was covered with snow. We are looking at the house and I noticed that the owner was feeding pistachios to his dog. Thought nothing of it. We bought the house, moved in in January and when the snow finally melted in April or May, there were piles of pistachio shells scattered all over the yard. By then, nothing else, just shells. I wouldn't smoke with those.
Bon appetitI hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

My buddy saved pecan shells for like a year. Unfortunately some of the meat of the nut was still left in the shelves here and there and went Rancid. The ribs smoked with them were ruined.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

if the smoke smells good, the food will taste good.

I have on chicken, scallops, shrimp, and salmon. They provided a light, sweeter smoke. I was curious if any on had done so with pork, or other heavy proteins, and as to how much they had used for it."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

(insofar as the smoke component, I can't comment on the actual food)

Burn the nuts?! What a horrific thought! You put them nuts in your mouth.

We ate a damn bag each. Fingers stained. Face stained.
Mom loved pistachios. And he was trying to do a good thing (they were supposed to be her christmas gift), but she knew how much they cost and there was no way he could afford them. She was mad as hell. Let's just say it wasn't just his fingers that were reddened that day
And then she marched him in to confess
