Instructions: Combine the peanuts with the Tabasco in a small bowl. Let the nuts sit in the sauce for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 F to 220 F.

Select a smokeproof dish that will hold the peanuts in a single layer.

Thickly coat the dish with the oil. Add the peanuts, stir them, and sprinkle with salt.

Place the peanuts in the smoker and cook until the peanuts are well browned and dry, 50 to 60 minutes. Check the nuts toward the end of the cooking time to avoid burning.

Transfer the peanuts to absorbent paper to cool. Serve immediately or keep in a covered jar for several days.
