It is not allowed to sell liquid smoke to consumers in Norway. Before i bought my WSM, I wanted to try liquid smoke to get the Smoke flavor. Now, I got a bottle of Liquid Smoke (LS) from a relative, and as far as I can see, I do not really need it anymore, as I have access to the proper way to add this flavor to food.
I'm sure that most forum members stay away from LS, but none the less- is there any way it can be used, not as a substitute, but as some sort of "adjustment", and with good results, or as a timesaver when needed?
As an example- you do not have the time to wait for a long smoke, what about a short one, and "enhance" the cook with LS?
Or- if you smoke something, and the smoke taste is less than desired, is it possible to adjust the smoke taste with this stuff? I'm thinking for example sausages, which should be smoked for a quite short period.
Or- is LS just a "taste killer" that should be avoided?
I understand that the best practise is to do a proper smoke in the WSM, and not to fail, but I'm not a professional. Could LS save the day when the result is not perfect?
