Since I got into this BBQ life a few years ago, all I've heard is what a travesty the use of liquid smoke in BBQ sauce is. Well I just went with the crowd on that opinion and never really thought about why "we" hate the stuff.
This weekend I went to a cooking class and really liked the sauce they put on their chicken wings, so I bought a couple of bottles. Suddenly, it dawned on me that one of the flavors I liked so much HAD to be liquid smoke, so I checked the label and, yup, there it was.
I'm as big a BBQ snob as anybody, but other than it being "fake" I don't think I really have a reason to disparage LS anymore. Just had to put that out there.
