Bones for stock.

[Rings Я Us]

I was thinking today about the last time I made beef stock. I do it in a 20 qt. stock pot and get about 7 qts to use.. At the beginning of the process I spread out 15 lbs of various types of beef bones and coat them all at one point with tomato paste. They get baked and turned part way through.
I'm thinking perhaps of trying this in the smoker for a while and getting some smoke on the bones. Then putting them in the oven to crisp.
So thing is, does smokey beef stock sound like it would have any uses? I think it would be great to have smokey beef stock in chili or for beef soup. Smoke flavor in beef stroganoff.

I think that would be pretty useful.

Heck yah, why not. It takes a full 24 hours to make that.much. it reduces by 1/3 . It's just simmering. Had picks from last March I made some.

I had 2 pots I strained the stock into to chill.. I removed the fat layer and heated it all back to liquid for pouring. Different size containers

I think bones with their pores would take some smoke. [emoji]128526[/emoji]
