It contains no salt, sugars, or artificial colors—just the bold, robust aroma of a real hickory fire.

FAQ
Is Wright’s Hickory Liquid Smoke highly acidic? No. While it has a slightly acidic pH due to the natural condensation process, it is not used in high enough concentrations to curdle dairy or significantly alter the pH of your marinades. It is primarily used for its aromatic and flavor properties.
Can I use this in an air fryer or pressure cooker? Absolutely. Adding a few drops to the liquid in a pressure cooker or brushing a diluted amount onto food before air frying is a popular way to replicate "pit-smoked" results in a fraction of the time.
How long does a 1-gallon container last once opened? Because it is a natural wood distillate with no sugars or fats, it has an extremely long shelf life. When kept in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, it can remain at peak quality for several years.
Does this product contain any caramel color? No. Unlike many budget-tier smoke flavorings, Wright’s Hickory Liquid Smoke does not contain caramel color, molasses, or artificial dyes. The deep amber color is naturally derived from the hickory wood smoke itself.
Is it safe to use in commercial spray bottles? Yes. Many chefs dilute the concentrate with water or oil and use a spray bottle to "mist" meats during the cooking process to build up a smoky crust or "smoke ring" appearance. Just ensure you clean the nozzle after use to prevent drying.
Can this be used for "liquid smoke" pickling? Yes. It is an excellent addition to pickling brines for eggs, mushrooms, or onions, providing a savory, smoky dimension that pairs perfectly with vinegar and salt.
Will it stain my plastic kitchen equipment? In its concentrated form, the natural resins in the smoke can leave a yellowish-brown tint on porous plastics. We recommend using stainless steel or glass containers when mixing large batches of marinades or sauces.
