Smoky Pecans

Smoky Pecans
We were lucky to have a Pecan Grove in our back yard and it is amazing how many things you can make to eat with Pecans. Here is one of my personal favorites - Betcha can't eat just one!
  • 1 Small bag of Hickory Chips
  • 2 pounds pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup butter - melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare charcoal fire; let burn 15 to 20 minutes so it gets real hot.

Drain wood chips and place on coals. Place water pan inside the grill for moisture; add water to depth of fill line.

Stir together pecans, butter and salt in a 24-by-12 inch pan (or one that fits your grill). Place on upper grate and cover with grill lid. Cook 1 hour or until golden, stirring once after 30 minutes. Enjoy!
