Tried a lot of the classics. Wildest thing so far was a New York cheescake.

Anyone ever make anything strange and unique in a pellet smoker?

No joke! Put ice cubes in a loaf pan and smoke them until the ice melts. Strain out any particles and refreeze in ice cube trays. Use for cocktails. You smoke cubes instead of water to get more surface area for the smoke to infuse.

I'm thinking that would be good in a bloody mary.

This made me wonder if it would also work to do this with butter.

Butter would be hard to keep solid. I would assume one would need to have it surrounded in ice.

I have smoked some cheeses, which also requires the use of ice to keep the smoke cold enough. Butter would be tough.

I would put it in a pan while smoking, let it go ahead and melt. strain it, and use it as a smoked clarified butter to cook with.

I'm generally not a big fish eater, but I can munch on smoked salmon and tilapia all day long. The smoke eliminates much of the overly-fishy smell, and makes the texture less "slimy." :)

I love smoked scallops, clams, and oysters also. Smoked crab, not so much. Halibut is also good smoked.

I smoke baked beans in the smoker.

I haven't done it, but I think smoked boiled eggs would make great deviled eggs. Smoked potatoes are probably pretty good.

I've read about people smoking salt. One person that makes his own beer smoked some of the ingredients before making the beer.

I have smoked garlic, tomatoes, onion and bell peppers. You can't go wrong with any of those.

Also, don't forget to use different types of wood. I love any kind of poultry smoked with apple wood. Most of the fish I do gets Alder wood. Try blending woods for unique flavors.

I am pretty sure no one has ever done this before. I love smoked hot dogs. :) /sarcasm.

In all seriousness, I love them. I want to marry them with my mouth.

Steelhead marinated in teriyiki. Taste almost like candy. Even people that don't like fish like this.

Cheese, all kinds, olives,fruit, especially for salsa,breads,BRATS,salt,fruit into BBQ jams, cabbage rolls, Mac and cheese, however it's not what you smoke, its what you smoke extremely well.
