Hi Ken, salted boiled peanuts were quite popular in the bars of our hotels in Queensland OZ, 20-yrs ago and before, I think they have now been overtaken by more trendy snacks. My older step brother ran a small smoking operation from Perth WA (Oz) for a while, He claimed one of the nicest things he ever tasted was smoked peanuts, so its maybe worth a try to boil some in a brine with habs and then smoke them over a good wood with some chipotles thrown in for good measure to add some aroma... Luke in Oz (back from the big smoke *Sydney* and speed reading thru 1600 + emails) also trying to figure out if the insurance company will pay out if I tell them a 14 lb hammer accidentally fell on my new puter...
