That all looks great! I am interested in the nut recipe. No luck on searches. The spuds look interesting too. I never thought of planking spuds.
Thanks in advance.

here is the damn good nuts:


Nuts, Pecans, Damn Good

SMITTYtheSMOKER, I prefer the water/egg white binder over the oil. I make the pecans every year for my Christmas baskets. The chile nuts are good saloon food.~thirdeye~


1 lb large pecan halves
1 egg white
1 tsp cold water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt



1 Beat water and egg white until frothy. Mix well with pecans. Combine sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix well with pecans. Spread on a large cookie sheet. OVEN: Bake for 225 degrees for about 1 hour or to your liking. Stir occasionally.
2 BGE: Use an indirect setup with a dome temp of 300° until done to your liking. Stir occasionally. Smoke is optional due to the sweetness of the nuts.
3 With either method, keep a close eye on the color, stickiness and bottom burning of the nuts after 30 minutes. Sample every few minutes until done to your liking as the sugar is not as forgiving as just straight spices.

Food looks great, and it sounds like you had a good time. Thanks!

Clay Q

Nice job! Yeah, everybody likes a good pulled beef samitch. Yup, there's time to mess around and play with the egg all day and time also for the cook to enjoy a few beers at the same time.....even take a few winks in the afternoon. Smoked nuts looks great, glad you had a good time cookin!
Happy Easter,
Clay

Clay..I'm tellin ya..this has just about taken over my love of pulled pork on the egg..I used prime cut chuck roast from my butcher which made it just that much better..and I didn't even eat it on a bun...plopped it on my plate and threw some dill pickles on it and ate it with a fork!!...it is a fun cook (you can do it in one day and no overnight) and the outcome is just awesome..the steps saving and using the au jus for the final cook adds the crowning touch.. very nice
