Never thought of that one. Hippie may be right . To start you should know I have never smoked tofu. The way I understand tofu, it has no flavor of its own. It takes on what ever you cook it with. I would use a small amount of wood! maybe use the cold smoke approach? You are not "cooking" the stuff, so just add a little smoke and try it. How is he using it? Good Luck Smoke N Italy

I couldn't resist...I googled "smoked tofu" and it gave a bunch of recipes that started with "get some smoked Tofu" . Kinda chuckled when I scrolled down the first one, and under comments, someone wrote "Didn't care for this much"...go figure!

Well lets see. Tofu and BBQ ribs? I'm not sure which one I would reach for first at the dinner table. Tofu , Ribs, or Ribs , Tofu. Damn I can't make up my mind!

Tofu can be pretty lean, so you want to make sure that it is completely wrapped in bacon...mayonnaise will help with the adhesion and hardly interfere with the smoke penetration. Once you establish a decent smoke cube(?), place it on white bread and discard the tofu.

Tofu is basically soybean cheese. So get the firm variety and smoke it like cheese.
I make a pretty mean stir-fry with brown rice, lots of veggies and mushrooms, and tofu. It's not sliced brisket, but it's good. I bet it would work in a miso soup too.
