I fired up my smokehouse this weekend and cool smoked a few items... I was able to keep the smokehouse at 110 and below. which worked out fine for these items.

I used a bit of pecan and apple for the smoke...










I smoked some olives...



Pecans, peanuts, coarse sea salt, clover honey...



A kosher salt/cracked pepper/onion/garlic mix, some turbinado sugar, and a pan of wasabi peas.




The finished goods....



And the smoked olive tapenade....

Some olive oil, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic, minced smoked olives, and capers....



Sittin' on a saltine.







Thanks for checking out my smoke!
 
Great post! Points for the great arrangement of cold smoked items.
Never would have thought to smoke turbinado, or honey!
Giving you a standing ovation.
 
Looks like a great assortment of goodies

How did the salt come out? Do you have to cold smoke salt or can you do it a bit hotter? (By the way, real nice smokehouse too)
 
Thank you Smokamotive, Dan, Rivet and Scott!

Rivet, the salt comes out great. I store it in canning jars to keep the flavor from fading.
The lower you can get the heat the better on smoking salts and spices. Lower temperatures and longer smoke times work the best. Hope you give it a try!
Thanks about my smokehouse too.

Great job.The TBS sure keeps your smokehouse clean.

Neighbor just harvested his Honey.About 100 pounds.I can have what i want for helping etc.

1. Is that a pie pan the Honey is in while smoking?

2. Should i just store the smoked honey in the container it is packaged in?

Thanks for any help.
