YOUR RESOURCE FOR EVERYTHING YODER SMOKERS
Here’s a delicious Cold Smoked BBQ Caesar Clamato-style drink that’s fun to make and great to drink! This one comes our way from Graham Sherman: “There’s no better time to take advantage of your Yoder Smokers YS640S and its cold smoke ability than a cold day! Cold smoking literally unlocks secret levels of new, awesome ideas! I’ve cold smoked cheese and salt before, but today I wanna’ stay warm inside and DRINK CAESARS!! Cold smoked tomatoes made into a sauce with garlic, onion and celery — quite similar to Clamato — and garnished with a brisket burnt end. Enjoy this one!”
