Had a dental surgeon on a mining expedition in my lower jaw yesterday. Taking baby steps with food for a day or two.

jook made with homemade chicken stock.

10:1 ratio for a thinner final product.

I love the serious eats method, makes me wish I still had access to a smoker... these days I just sous vide with liquid smoke then sear in a cast iron pan but you don't get anything resembling what you just made :(
I have a gas grill, but I added some logs loosely wrapped in aluminium foil and a fair bit of spruce needles, I think it's not traditional but I do like the smoke from spruce needles and cones a lot and those are readily available to harvest around me.

I don't know what kind of grill you have, but I add a chunk of apple or cherry wood onto the flavorizer bars below the grates. If the flame on that one is low enough, it puts off a pretty nice smoke. I've done a couple canadian bacons and a regular bacon that way, as well as pork ribs.

I'm not smoking with pine wood, I'm burning spruce needles. I have seen talk about unpleasant smell from pine and other softwoods to the meat if used to smoke but I have seen plenty of needles being used to cook. That being said, if you have a reliable source where I can read about the toxicity of the needles I would appreciate it.

One thing that works fairly well is to soak wood chips in water for an hour or so. Then make a rectangular parcel out of aluminium foil with the wood chips inside and sit it on top of the flat bars that cover the burners. Poke a few (five or six) small holes into the top of the parcel, and you have a simple smoking setup.
