i have talked about this once before but i think it bears repeating , i ran across powdered smoke a couple of years ago ,
its good stuff but its VERY STRONG so experiment before using it in large batches , one of the best uses i have found for it is in breakfast sausage , some call them "tube " sausage others call them "patty sausage" but anyways there is no good way to smoke them , but adding " powdered smoke " works great and adds a nice smoky flavor to them . there are lots of ways to use this stuff as long as you don't over use it , when i first came across powdered smoke i bought some and had it when i made another batch of " smoked sausage " and decided to experamint with it , so i made about 5 lbs using it along with my usual smoked sausage and then took a sample to some people that had been eating my sausage for years , i gave them a peice of the ones made with the "powdered smoke " along side of a peice smoked on my smoker the only thing i told them was that there WAS a difference in one of the sausage , asked them to taste both and tell me which was better , not one of them could tell any difference in the sausage , even though one of them had been smoked and one had not
