I've done almonds several times. Even burned a batch once---that was a bummer. The others turned out great and I keep a rubbermaid container full of them in my freezer at all times for guests AND for family.
Instead of foil pans, I used perforated pizza trays that really allow the smoke to penetrate both sides of the nuts. I show them in a post on the CS/FE BB here. Check them out at
