Not sure if it'll apply to leather, but my family has smoked a turkey using cherry wood for many a Thanksgiving. The cherry wood creates a nice red ring about a 1/4 inch deep in the meat.

Are you concerned about the heat damaging the leather?

The ring is produced by the smoke. The red color has nothing

to do with the wood being cherry. I have smoked meat for years

using all kinds of wood. They all produce a red ring in the meat.

The different woods will impart a different flavor in the meats.

The fruit woods are favored by many. When it comes to pork I

prefer Maple. For chicken my palate runs towards oak. With turkey

sausages I just love them smoked. Of course with beef brisket

I have to go with oak again. As always this is just my most humble

opinion.

WINDY ...........checking the freezer for some brisket

Well, the topic description says "smoke" dying leather....I'd never heard of anything like it, other than like in the meat.

Why didn't you just say "powdered dyes"??? I've been cooking since I replied to this thread the first time.....now, what am I gonna do with this smoked shoulder?!??!

Oh, and please do give more info on the powdered dyes, it sounds interesting.

If you mean ham...

Boil it in a giant stockpot with cabbage and potatoes and carrots and baby onions. Best dinner EVAR.

Also, I'd like to know about the powdered dyes, too.

I just came across something while doing some research that I'd like to try.

If you have any information of the process please enlighten me.

THanks in advance

You have any links, Ive never heard of it (which doesnt mean much)

Best way is to try it yourself.

Never heard of it or thought about it, but if I did heres what I would do first...

Get some old style cooling bandages, the ones with crystals not liquid.

Steep them in warm water in a bucket with your dyes.

When it has completely disolved, soak your burn material in it....

If you were just making smoke bombs I would say just use newspaper, but low heat burning woods might be the better way to go in this, and make sure the heat doesn't get to the leather.

One pack normally has a long burn time and it doesn't smell good, so do it out side in an air tight container to let the dye move for ages, probably over night...

Just make sure it's a big enough container for oxygen supply for the burn material, or keep a small hole which you can seal once it's all burned up..

Good luck and let me know if this works for you.

I can't tell you this is a safe process, do some of your own research into chemical soloutions or you tube smoke bombs at least...

Hope I have been some help.

If it works though I am claiming the method...*S*
