What is Condensed Smoke?

Smoke is conventionally created by burning wood with an open flame, however, smoke can also be created by a safer, more controllable smouldering process, called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis generates a consistent smoke that can be condensed and captured in water.

This cooled, liquid state of wood smoke is referred to as ‘smoke condensate’. The smoke condensate is then regenerated through atomized to form a smoke cloud. Only the flavourful and functional portions of smoke are present; Tars, Fly-Ash and PAH’s are greatly reduced. 

Condensed Smoke is more Sustainable

When compared to traditional smoking, the production of smoke flavourings: 

  • Reduces water consumption used while smoking and for clean-up by 90%
  • Reduced energy consumption by approximately 40%
  • Reduces up to 40% of CO2e
  • Reduces the risk of potentially harmful carcinogenic compounds such as tar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ash from being present in smoked foods
