Yesterday we received our 50lbs of almonds, so today we will start to cold smoke them with hickory for 2 hours about 8 pounds at a time using 8 racks stacked in my 4 rack digital spaced with 1/2 spacers between racks.

Four runs later and 50lbs of Hickory Smoked Almonds Ziploc bagged, next thing is to let them setup and then in a week to put 2lbs tubes for gifts.

So the way I figure it, you're making 25 gift packages. If you take one (small, insignificant) ounce out of each, you'll have 25 grateful recipients who won't know they've been "shorted" and have an extra 25 ounces to send to me, thus getting an extra grateful recipient at no additional cost (the wrapping and postage should average out).

No need to thank me for this brilliant idea; I just want to make sure you're getting the maximum amount of appreciation for your efforts.

So now that you've got em smoked, are you thinking of trying to put a little rub/ seasonings on em?

No other seasonings, just the salt and Hickory. They were a big hit last year.
