There's nothing wrong with liquid smoke. It's strictly an artificial
flavor, used in recipes where an artificial flavor is convenient,
like dip or gravy. I use it in such instances, strictly for
convenience. I always have some on hand.

G Nuthin' wrong with artificial paint, or artificial pork butt, either...
just for convenience, mind ya. :-)

Yep-me, too. I've had the same bottle for yeeeears. I need more
recipes to use it in, they're few and far between. That and tha fact
that two or three drops is all I've ever used at a crack. I can find
more to do with peppermint extract than I can LS.

Hi Marcus,
I keep a bottle of that for making beef jerky in my dehydrator. I've had
the same bottle for at least 4 years - in the cabinet, not the fridge. It
still seems fine to me.

Hi all,

since Liquid Smoke is not easy to obtain here in Germany i´d like to
import
a large bottle from the US. I´d like to know how long an open bottle can
be
kept in the fridge before it spoils. Is deep freezing of leftover
quantities
an option?

Thanks for your anwsers!
Markus

Since there isn't a decent reason to open either, they should last
indefinitely.

The gang here just loves to dump on liquid smoke. Every once in a while
some
newbie comes in, in all innocence, and asks about it, just like the poor
sods who hear somewhere that parboiling ribs is a good idea.

For those who don't have a pit barbecue, don't want to bake them in an oven
for 6-8 hours, and who know how to marniate them well with a good sauce,
parboiling works fine.

Then the
regulars pounce, with their fangs slavering. It's all good clean fun, and
it
makes this NG a worthwhile pursuit.

But it's not a substitute for barbecue, it never has been, it never will
be,
and I pity the fool who thinks liquid smoke has any connection whatever to
real barbecue.

The difference isn't as much as the BBQ freaks would like one to believe.

Most who have had both would disagree with you. What's your point, besides
being argumentative? We've seen you and your brothers here before, you're
boring, if you don't have anything to add, why bother?

So, Ray...what kind of pit do you have and when you're not parboiling your
ribs, just how do you barbecue them?

Basically, he's a troll. Modern Caveman, et al. All Ray Gordon. He's been here
before, pushing boilin' ribs and liquid smoke, all with his links for seduction
of women and why "hotties" chose *him*

I think it will last a really long time in the fridge. Probably years.
Liquid smoke actually inhibits bacterial growth in other foods, so it should
be especially safe on its own. Freezing a portion of it is definately an
option.
