I'm relatively new to smoking and sausage making, and have found this site to be chock full of good information. Thanks for that. Before joining, I've smoked a few pork butts, beef brisket, chickens, Italian sausage (homemade and store-bought), and made a batch of snack sticks.

Today, I'll be smoking salt (as gifts), rice, and prepping for kielbasa tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy weekend.

Welcome from SE Virginia. Until last month I had never smoked anything. However, I got a smoker for Christmas and before I even fired that thing up, I read ALL that I could on this forum for two solid weeks. Armed with the info here, I've successfully smoked a 10 lb brisket, 3 racks of baby back ribs, and two bacon-wrapped meatloafs.
 
Why Can't all things be smoked???
Just about everything there is has been smoked & posted on this forum.
Salt, Pepper, Liver, Heart, you name it.
I've Smoked Shad Roe, and we have a guy here who likes to Smoke the little sugar coated Marshmallow Peeps they sell at Easter Time.

Bearcarver Bearcarver is most correct!

Yes, anything that can absorb smoke can be smoked.

I HAVE EVEN USED MY SMOKER TO SMOKE CIGARS. . . .LOL!

Do not fear. . . Dive in and enjoy!
Oh yes, Welcome to the Forum from Pittsburgh, PA.

Great people here willing to help with whatever you need!

Hey there from So Cal. As said previously there is no limit to what can be smoked. Having it actually taste good might be another thing entirely. Not sure I'm up for a smoked hot fudge sundae. The day is young though.

Welcome! You will get no argument from me what cannot be smoked.

What has impressed me the most so far is smoked BUTTER! Yes cold smoked for short bit much like cheese. Spread on some good bread or toast, popcorn, eggs, potatoes, the list goes on!
 
I'll add smoked ice to the list. Add about 1/2" of water to a pan and place in your smoker for 20 to 30 minutes depending on the amount of smoke its generating. If you see any floaties run the water through a coffee filter. Then put into an ice tray and freeze.

I like smoked ice best when putting one cube in a glass of whiskey, but it's decent in a Bloody Mary, or a Bullshot, (basically a Bloody Mary with beef broth instead of tomato juice).
 
Welcome from Cameron County, PA. You CAN Smoke anything. But try to avoid the Newbie Pitfall. Avoid serving more than 1 or 2 Smoked Proteins and one Smoked Side in any one meal. Smoked foods are great but eating Smoked Meat, a Smoked Starch, Smoke Veggies, Smoked Butter on the Bread and a Smoked Dessert, in one sitting, gets OLD real fast! Family members rarely maintain the enthusiasm you have for your Toy.. JJ

About everything being Smoked .... Ask my Wife, she opened the fridge a while back and said to me in a rather Loud Voice (Is there anything in this Refrigerator That Isn't Smoked !!!! )

Smoke the fudge and add some smoked bacon to the topping! Guaranteed delcious.
 
I really need to remember to smoke some salt one of these days when I have lots of space leftover. I usually have plenty of room for a big pan of salt.

Well, I gotta say that smoked ice cream is delicious and smoked chocolate is even better.
My favorites are smoked honey butter and smoked hot chocolate.
