Measure out one pound of meat with other spices already mixed in and then 1/4t per pound up to 1/2t of smoke.

NOTE: try it on ONE pound first as a test and see what it's like. Can always add more but can't remove it.

Marianski has some % recommendations but forget what they are. 1tsp for 5lbs of meat for TSM liquid smoke and the is common in the recipes in the link. If you don't know already, pretty much all commercial SS is not smoked and uses LS. Hickory Farm included.

Poli uses 1 TBL per 5 lbs .
I started with 1 tsp per 2 1/2 pound batch .
Snuck up on it with 1 TBL per 2 1/2 pound batch .
I honestly didn't really notice it in the final product .

Smells strong when the grind is raw and mixed . Seems to mellow after cooking .
Poli also has some methods where he paints it on the outside with a brush while hanging in the smoker . I haven't tried that yet .


I also use it when I do pork loins cured with Tender quick . I do notice it there .

Just re read your question . Sv makes me think start low .
I agree with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per pound , like said above .
Can't evap in the SV .

Im interested here about this. The weather here has gone full blown stupid winter mode so smoking is out. Hoping for some real world opinions on using liquid smoke. I was wanting to make a summer sausage also.

I use 3 tsp per five pounds for oven SS. I use the sausage makers brand liquid smoke. Mix, stuff. Bloom in fridge overnight. Then in oven at 175 with the oven door cracked slightly open.
