So in my travels on the various smoking forums I have seen this a few times where people claim smoking peanuts in the shell makes them better. I just had to try it myself.
First I bought a bag of salted peanuts in the shell and threw them into the smoker with a full load of hickory from my tube smoker. It will go about 6-8 hours of smoke. Left the temp on my PID controller set to 90 degrees. After a full day of smoking I brought them inside. Very strong smoke smell coming from those suckers for sure. If I was still married I am sure it would have been another nail in my coffin just having them in the house. So I let them set over night and tried a few the next day. Hmmmm nothing special to me??? So I thought lets get my vac seal tumbler out and spice them up with a couple of bottles of hot sauce
Two twenty minute sessions in the tumbler and back in the smoker for another three hours of smoke to dry them out. Not what I thought they be but ya....once you eat four or five you feel the heat coming on an there is a hint of smoke flavor, not as much as you would think but its there.
Here is the theory behind the vac seal tumbler: This is how they get salt into the shells.

So I was hoping for the same affect with the hot sauce
Anybody else try to smoke salted peanuts in the shell? These ended up not to bad but a lot of work for a bag of peanuts
