The document discusses smoking of meat. Smoking involves hanging meat in a smokehouse where hardwood logs or chips are burned, exposing the meat to smoke at 57°C for 18-24 hours. Over 300 compounds are extracted from wood smoke, including phenols, alcohols, organic acids, and hydrocarbons, which contribute to flavor, color, and preservation of the meat. Different types of wood impart varying flavors. Smoking can be cold, hot, or warm, affecting preservation and cooking of the meat. Liquid smoke provides an alternative method for smoking.
