As for  pecan, did you know you can just use soaked pecan shells for
smoking and it  comes out wonderful? 


Again not having my books in front of me...
 
There is an Arabic recipe in Medieval Arab Cookery for a smoked  flatbread 
that is smoked over burning nut shells.  I can't recall exactly  what nut was 
used at the moment.  I also want to say that you placed a drop  of oil in the 
shell, I'll have to go back and look.
