Hickory smoke flavoring

[Truncheon]

I've ordered two things to mimick the 'smokey' taste of hickory or BBQ - Black Fire from FA and Guaiacol from TFA. They both smell extremely similar tbh, even though Black Fire is marketed as a tobacco flavor while Guaiacol is merely a flavor molecule. I added .4% of Black Fire to a tobacco mix recently and it did add a spice note, but I'll probably bump it up to .5 next time around. Haven't experimented with the Gua yet though, as it seems to me that it would be more potent, although that's just an assumption.

oh my... don't make a DIY with this guaiacol stuff and vape this in a desert field in late summer... you're liable to be devoured in a biblical way... lol

Guaiacol is produced in the gut of Desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, by the breakdown of plant material. This process is undertaken by the gut bacterium Pantoea (Enterobacter) agglomerans. Guaiacol is one of the main components of the pheromones that cause locust swarming.

OK folks as promised here's something you can use hickory smoke flavor for. After thinking about this a while a brain storm idea came to me and I thought WoW if you use to much AP you'll wind up with corn chip which is usually bad. Then after smelling the hickory smoke I thought why the hell did I buy this it smells awful. So thinking on this further I said to myself "Do 2 wrongs make a right?" well maybe in this case it does. So without further ado here is my recipe for "Frito's Barbeque flavored corn chips"

TFA Graham Cracker 2%
TFA AP 2 - 3%
TFA Hickory Smoke 1%

You need to steep this or it will blow your head off.

1 week natural steep
2.5 - 3 hour UC steep.

Yep kinda tastes like frito's barbeque corn chips.
Have fun

Probably tastes more like

I let my dog try some of the hickory smoke and he turned and licked his .... to get the taste out of his mouth. Does that tell you anything?

Mine is sitting next to my Yams and Deli Bacon waiting on me.

your deli bacon goes well with waffle or syrup or French toast. use a small amount though. you just want the bacon to be a note that you detect.

Don't have hickory but do have some FA Oak Wood. The only liquid I use it in is TFA Kentucky Bourbon.

Thanks John. I thought about the waffle with deli bacon just have not tried yet. I was hoping for a mix to follow.
