Pumpkin spiced smoked almonds

[Silvergrizz]

Decided to try these tonight. Recipe off the Bradley site. Started smoking the almonds 2 days ago for 24 hours. The recipe calls for too much salt as it would not all dissolve in 5 cups of water. Figure there was close to 1/3 cup of salt in the brine on the bottom. After 24 hours, removed and dried for another 24 hours. Into the smoker tonight for 3 hours of hickory at 200F. I wasn't sure, so I put them into the smoker before turning it on. Took 45 mins to reach temp, then I started smoke and timing. After 2 hours, removed and applied the egg mixture. icing sugar and pumpkin pie spice. I didn't want to put the mixture back onto cheesecloth  as I thought it would stick like crazy, so I foiled the ends of the racks and used frog mats. Worked like a charm. Another hour of smoke and done. Removed and now cooling on the counter. Delicious hot, can't wait to try at breakfast.
