I picked up three big bags of pecans off of my back yard this
afternoon.I know how to clean them, but I needs to figure out a faster
way to crack the shells.Maybe I will lay some of them on my concrete
front porch and lay a heavy thick square piece of concrete over them and
push it around on top of them and see what happens.Sure, I can take them
to Hutto's yard and garden center on Ellis Ave and pay them to crack the
pecans for me, but I prefer to do it myself.

Get a car and jack up one of the drive wheels just barely off the
concrete. Block the other 3 wheels for safety then start the engine and
put it in gear so the one tire spins. Take a handful of nuts and toss
them under the wheel from about 3 feet away and they will spit out the
other side of the wheel nicely cracked. Works good with walnuts.
Just be careful, and never get within 2 feet of the wheel or you could
get the same treatment.
