Fellow adventurers,
Every time I have extra space in the bs, I try smoking something new. I did a cold smoke of fresh ground coffee. After smoking at 65 degrees for an hour, I made a pot of coffee. I'm not one who likes flavored coffees so I was skeptical. I thought it was great. Still great coffee flavor with a touch of smoke. Kind of like drinking coffee near an open campfire. Don't tell Starbucks or it will be the next hot thing.[;)]

I used columbian, whole beans that I ground before smoking. I guess a medium roast. I cold smoked it thinking to keep the "oils" in.

I cold smoked some whole beans a while back using apple wood. They smelled really good but after grinding and brewing had no smoke flavor[:(]. I would also reccommend already ground for this experiment.

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.
BigSmoker-
I did the same. First whole beans, no flavor, then ground, good smoke flavor.

Wow, that's a good idea. I love hearing about different things to smoke rather than just those yucky old ribs, brisket, and butts. [;)]
A local burger joint here makes this zippy ketchup for their fries, it's really good. I finally asked what they put in it and to my utter dismay/pleasure the girl says, "Oh, we smoke our own vinegar here and put that in the ketchup." [:0]
How in the heck do you smoke vinegar? I guess just pour some in a disposable aluminum pan and fire it up?
Speaking of coffee, I found this while perusing another board. I have some tenderloins in the freezer and would like to try this on at least one of them.

How many lay strips of bacon over their coffee beans....That is supposed to make you smile![:D] I roast my own coffee as Jeff does, but on a much smaller scale. One of these days I am going to try smoking the beans just as they come out of the roaster to infuse a little smoky flavor. I don't think I will ever grind ahead of time and then smoke the grounds.... the coffee goes down hill after it is ground...and I do like fresh ground coffee.

MW, I saw the Japan thing referenced in another post, but I'm in the dark. Someone 'splain it to me. [?]
Jeff, I'm planning on doing those tenderloins soon, but I'll be gone this weekend, so prob next. I'll let ya know how they turn out.
Anyone have any ideas about the vinegar thing?

There is guy from Japan that posts spam about "reducing your smoking sensation", Kirk gets to it pretty quick and dumps it. He seems to be landing one about one a week or so. We can't seem to get rid of him. I think he has to be a quart or so low, he probably can't find the differance between smoking cigs and what we are about.

The key is to have the wife get up early and smoke the grounds and brew the coffee fresh ahhh, if it were only so . . .

This sounds good.. what did you put the beans or grounds in? did you just use a coffee filter? I thought about using a coffee filter for smoking nuts in. Any ideas if that will work?
Steve
simmy-
I used cheese cloth and ground the beans first. I made a thin layer and after smoking put in a vacuum bag to jam all the smoke into the coffee. Nice cowboy flavor[^][^][^]

MW, I now remember seeing that one time. i didn't know the dude was from Japan though.
I'm still curious to how to smoke the vinegar....anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Got me??? Stupid Canuck thinks ....(long pause)........put vinegar in bowl and add smoke for couple hours......[?][?][8][8][?][?]
Cold Smoke
psdubl07-
Ive never smoked vinegar but have an extensive background in spices. Suggestion- Powdered vinegar and then smoked in cheesecloth, then rehydrated <font color="red">OR</font id="red"> powdered vinegar mixed with powdered smoke. The powdered smoke is significantly better than liquid smoke and significantly worse that real smoke[^][^][^]

Next time I'm in there I'll try to get the scoop on how they do it and let you guys know.
Here's what I was able to get out of the owner re smoked vinegar:
- They fill a large stainless steel tub with vinegar and spices.
- Smoke it for 24 hours during which time it reduces quite a bit.
- Smoke it using Mesquite wood.
Now, I don't know if they are actually smoking it the whole 24 hour period, but it kind of sounded like they were.
I think he would have been open to sharing more with me, but they were pretty busy. (Not surprising given the taste of my Southwestern marinated chicken breast burger, complete w/ house-smoked bacon, guacamole, black beans, mayo etc.....) [:p]
Also, the coffee recipe rub I posted the link to earlier in the thread was VERY good. It actually won out over the bacon-wrapped tenderloin. As an interesting side-note, the coffee rub tenderloin was no less moist than the one with bacon wrapped around it.
