Colorado Spice Hickory Smoke Powder, 24 Ounce

This powder has a rich smoke aroma and flavor. I love that it does not have that bitter aftertaste that I have found some liquid smoke products to have. I agree with a previous reviewer that it does tend to clump when rubbed on the wet surfaces of meat but I was able to easily remedy this by combining the smoke powder with my other spices such as garlic and onion powder, seasoned salt etc., before applying it to the meat. Also, drying the surface of the meat helps as well. I highly recommend this product. Its great.

I enjoy grilling and making the related side dishes like baked beans etc. I am guilty of using at least 2 or 3 bottles of liquid smoke each month. After finding this product on Amazon I thought I would give it try. I have used several products from Colorado Spice and they have been good. This product was clumpy and does not sprinkle like a pinch of salt or anything else. If you try to rub onto or into meat it turns to a sticky paste which sticks well to your hands but not the meat. The smell is strong hickory and so is the taste (to strong or maybe the paste is too thick) I am back to liquid smoke. After 40 years of cooking it is still the only item that consistantly works.

We love using our smoker. I wanted to try this product to provide even more smoke flavor to our favorite foods. This product works very well. You don't have to use a smoker to enjoy this product. You can use it as a rub on your favorite meats and prepare as you normally would. You can also add it to the water in your smoker. I have encouraged my friends and family to try this product and they all say they love it.

Great, but expensive!

I'm still trying to decide if I like this or not. I have tried it in several applications and although it has a good flavor it's really strong. It doesn't come with any directions on how to use it or any advice on how much to use so it's a guessing game. I think I have enough to last me a lifetime though lol.

Super smokey! A great smell and little does go a long way, so you have to play around with it on your recipes. I've even used it in making salad dressings! And it makes any barbeque sauce better.

Can't tell if it's really that good. There's no instructions as to the quantity to use. Experimentation gets to be expensive. Would not buy again until I find instructions on its use. This could be a very good product but I have no way of knowing without being able properly mix. Fast delivery though.

Very strong, use sparingly. Not bitter when diluted with seasonings. I usually have a container with 20 percent hickory smoke powder and 80 percent salt in a shaker when I'm cooking. I've bought and used several other brands online and have been disappointed with every one but this one. If it ever comes back in stock I'll buy a double order just to make sure I have some on hand. The only hickory smoke salt that I have ever found even close to this one is the batch I made several years ago with my home smoker. It probably cost twice as much to make and took a lot of labor.
