About Colgin
Colgin Liquid Smoke has been produced in Dallas, Texas since 1945 by the Richard E. Colgin Company, capturing the essence of hickory, mesquite, apple, and pecan wood smoke in a bottle for home cooks who want authentic barbecue flavor without a smoker.
Heritage & History
Richard E. Colgin founded his Dallas, Texas company in 1945 with a product idea as simple as it is elegant: capture actual wood smoke in liquid form, so that the flavor of a barbecue pit can be added to any dish on an ordinary stovetop. The process of making liquid smoke — passing wood smoke through water to condense the water-soluble flavor compounds — has been used since the nineteenth century, but Colgin turned it into a reliable consumer product.
The company has remained a small, focused operation in Dallas for over 75 years, doing one thing well. Colgin Liquid Smoke is found in supermarkets and specialty stores across the country, and it's a standard ingredient in many barbecue sauce recipes, slow-cooker dishes, and marinades. The simplicity of the product — water, vinegar, and authentic smoke from named wood species — has been its strength.
Made in Dallas, Texas
Colgin Liquid Smoke is made in Dallas, Texas using real hickory, mesquite, apple, or pecan wood. Each variety captures the specific flavor profile of that wood species: hickory provides the classic American BBQ smoke flavor; mesquite delivers a stronger, more assertive Texas smokehouse character; apple smoke is milder and slightly sweet; pecan offers a rich, buttery smokiness. All four varieties are gluten-free and contain no artificial flavors — the smoke flavor is real smoke, not synthetic flavoring.
A few drops of Colgin in a slow cooker, marinade, or sauce add the depth of wood-fire cooking to dishes that couldn't otherwise achieve it. The product is vegan and contains no animal byproducts. For home cooks without a smoker — or for days when outdoor cooking isn't practical — Colgin Liquid Smoke is the Texas solution. Made in Dallas since 1945.
