Wannabee Farms' Hickory Smoked Oil

 
Hickory Smoked OilThe flavorful idea of Wannabee Farms’ Hickory Smoked Oil all started by an accident. Thanks to the pit master leaving a pan of basting oil in smoker by mistake, cooks can add grilled flavor to vegetables and meats using Hickory Smoked Oil.
 
Here’s the creator's account of how it happened:
 
“I closed the lid, and it slow smoked along with the pit cooked pork for hours. Upon discovering the cloudy, messed-up pan of oil, a thought crossed my mind. I played around with ways to remove the soot and moisture and came up with a process to get back the clean color of new oil with the wonderful subtle flavor of natural wood smoke.
 
I was ecstatic at the potential and used the oil to rub down food cooked on my otherwise flavorless gas grill. Suddenly, I realized I could have the convenience of modern cooking with the flavor of handed-down recipes!!”
