The info regarding liquid smoke is true, but quite incomplete. They forgot to add that the taste is bitter, salty, and reminds (me, at least) of chemicals. Having smoked (an easy, but time consuming process) my own meats and fish, I can assure all that the resulting rich, mellow and complex taste is nothing like liquid smoke.

?????????
What is liquid smoke and where can you buy it?????????

NOTE: Liquid Smoke is a food ingredient used to add a smokey flavor, similar to what is obtained when cooking over an open wood fire. The product is produced by burning hardwood chips (notably hickory) and condensing the smoke particles with water into a liquid form. The liquid is then scrubbed and filtered to remove all impurities. It is most often added to sauces and marinades to flavor meat, poultry, and seafood. It can be found in most major supermarkets, sometimes in the spice section, but most often along with sauces & marinades.
