I have used the stuff for years. My favorite brand is whatever is the cheapest at the time I need a bottle.

Da Hawaiians must use more liquid smoke than any state in the union - it's used for homemade kalua pig. I've never heard of sous vide kalua pig but who has? I have made shoyu pork in a rice cooker on the warm setting. I left it in the water bath for a couple of days but that hardly seemed worth the effort.

I add a few drops to tuna salad to make smoked ahi spread. It's great stuff - just don't tell anybody how you made it. I saw smoked ahi spread in the market recently - you can bet they ain't telling anybody how they make it either. I used to buy real smoked ahi spread and it's awful good but the guy stopped making it so that's how that goes.

My idea is that you could use liquid smoke to make tea smoked chicken using a mix of rice, brown sugar, and liquid smoke. I've never tried it - yet.
