Nice! I suspect you'll need a lot of smoke on those to get a noticeable flavour, but I do love smoked garlic

I find cold smoking takes a bit too long on garlic for my liking, but I've hot smoked/roasted plenty. Mesquite smoked garlic soup, mmmmmmmmmmm

That sounds good.....recipe?
Yes, I'm doing it for 24hrs. Not using it right away so hence not hot smoking.

I tried Garlic last year, found it disappointing. Seems commercial growers smoke for 10 days or more.
Have a look at this thread on another forum. Dont worry about it not starting off with garlic...

Thats sounds rather nice, do you hotsmoke/roast and use straightaway or can you store them for a while.

You could probably store it for a few days to a week in the fridge, or you could puree it and freeze it in icecube trays
