It's not for me

Huh-Oh

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!

Okay, I don't even want to go there....

but if you do, I'd just do it like you would Cheese, with a cold smoke and like David said, very little wood.

Slow Joe,
If you do this I have to nominate you for 'Friend of the Year' award...

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!

I knew it! Saw it coming from afar......

Ah, tofu! As far as appeal, that ranks right up there with the infamous "butt gland!" Smoked or not, you can have my share and then some!

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.

ROTFL.

Good one twofer...

Perhaps you can get the butt gland and tell your friend it is smoked 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.

Now if you can shape the tofu like ribs...

Dennis, first the BBQ Crock pot and now Tofu, you're really starting to worry me

Hang in there Dennis. Nothing wrong with tofu. Pretty sure I ate some back in 1994 or thereabouts and I'm still kicking.

"A well-dressed man approached a woman at a Gotham health food store and in a clipped British accent asked her exactly what she did with the tofu in her basket. She said she normally puts it in the refrigerator, looks at it for several weeks and then throws it away. The man replied: "That's exactly what my wife does with it. I was hoping you had a better recipe.""

Russ, there's an idea for the Anything Goes category at your next comp--rib-shaped tofu cooked in that smoker-looking crock pot.

Well first of all....YUCK!

2nd, thank goodness the crock pot is illegal for contests. We have to draw the line SOMEWHERE.

I'd just as soon do a Prime Rib or real ribs. Can't imagine that I would ever play with Tofu to form it into anything. Yuck again!

Well Smokin', if you ever decide to expand your horizons and change your mind about tofu forming, you might find this helpful.

dls,

I ran that video clip over and over and over again. And I thoroughly studied the techniques presented!!! LOL

I gotta go with Smokin on this - YUK

What worries me most DLS is that you KNEW about that link.

Thanks for the info, although there is zero chance of Tofu sculpting in my future.

Pushing a deadline on a big project and needed a break. It's amazing what you can find sometimes.

Actually, if look over to the right on the link, there's a pretty interesting tip on peeling a cooked potato.

very interesting video.I agree the potato skin thing is interesting.I will try it.
The only one I am not sure about is the How to reheat 5 hour old sour taste coffee...There is a limit to frugality. LOL

yes the potato skin thing was good. i normally quarter them and they peel good, but that method even looks better.

In addition to the potato skin tip, this one's pretty helpful also.

Okay, no more tofu, no more tofu videos, we're not bbq'ing now are we.

If there is an urgent need to talk tofo, I'm SURE there's a tofo forum out there somewhere (where these video's are made)

I, for one, think that there's room on the forum to discuss new and creative "side" dishes to accompany our BBQ. Let's be a little creative and try something other than the same old beans, etc.

GEEZ..LS & a dishwasher come to mind.
