Excellent idea and one that I've used before. When I ran out of liquid
smoke once, I chipped a few chunks of creosote out of my chimney. By
placing the chunks in alcohol, I made a very decent homemade version of
liquid smoke, and couldn't tell the difference when I boiled ribs in it.

FWIW, those of you who drink Scotch might also find this a handy tip- a
little piece of chimney creosote added to moonshine gives it the smokey
rememberance of aged Scotch whiskey.
