Got two large cans of roasted unsalted peanuts on clearance at Walmart.What are some of your favorite sauces/seasonings? Best wood?Time temp?I figure I'll try 2 or 3 methods since I have so many.

Thanks!

Dave you need to talk with Seemore he has a really good peanut recipe. It is posted on here under the heading more smoked peanuts.

I think NePaS also has some good ideas for smoking peanuts. Thanks for reminding me. I'm going to smoke some with some type of sauce on them and then throw them in my Excalibur to dry the sauce on them. I think I remember NePaS suggesting that trick.

I like to smoke peanuts with Hickory and my fav sauce is to mix Louisiana hot sauce with Chipolata Tabasco 50/50 and smoke for 3 hr at 220 F then when the smoke is done put them in the dehydrator till dry again.

The wife of a good friend of mine makes her own salted nut rolls and they are great. The last batch of peanuts I did I asked her if she would make some with the hot nuts, she did. WOW now that is what I call the perfect salted nut roll.

OU,
What temp and how long do you go in the dehydrator?

Louisiana and Tabasco - can't go wrong. :)

If I just use Texas Pete's are they going to be super hot?I'm thinking maybe a splash of BBQ sauce for some sweetness,like maybe 1/4 as much as hot sauce.

Thanks for all the suggestions!I've got a lot of variations to try!

Dave,
I have 3 pounds in the Bradley as I type. They are bathed in Frank's buffalo wing sauce and Cajun Power garlic and pepper sauce plus dusted with Jan's Dry Rub. One hour and 20 minutes of apple smoke because I needed to use those last 4 pucks and then into the dehydrator. The peanuts I have are already dry roasted so I'm using no heat from the tower, just the smoke generator.

Don't worry about the heat factor of your hot sauce. You're gonna flip once you taste them.

I have done dry roasted using a combination of Franks wing sauce and Franks Xtra Hot sauce. They came out fine. Next time I plan to kick them up some. :)
