Add Water & Vanilla to 3 Egg Whites, and Whip Until Stiff. I used Granny's old mixer.
Stir In Melted Butter, Brown Sugar, White Sugar, Cinnamon, Ginger, AllSpice and Salt, If Needed.
Whip Again, Until Entire Mixture is Stiff.
Add Nuts and mix thoroughly. Make sure all nuts are coated well.
Spread the mixture evenly across Frog Mats or aluminum roasting pans, and into the smoker.
Smoke at less than 120� for (2) hours. Longer for a heavier smoke flavor. For now, all you want is smoke, with very little heat.
Raise smoker temp to 250�, and continue to smoke for 45+/- minutes.
Nuts are done when all the coating is dry.
Stir nuts every 15 minutes, so they do not burn.
Remove from smoker and allow to sit for 30 minutes or so. Immediately off the smoker, the nuts will be kinda soft, and as they cool, they change their texture.
