If you want that smoke taste in the oven just add ..Liquid Hickory Smoke...Did You Know That...Liquid Hickory  Smoke ...

Liquid smoke really is made from smoke. Chips or sawdust from hardwoods such as hickory or mesquite are burned at high temperatures, and particles of the smoke are collected in condensers. The resulting liquid is concentrated down for a stronger flavor...Happy Eating...Sandra
