[Sca-cooks] Smoke Essence.

[Pat]

It's also the name of a hardy, low growing bush native to the American South West whose resins smell like the tar used to treat creosoted lumber.  It's why SouthWestern forest fires smell like treated wood burning.  Nasty!

It's a yellowish to greenish-brown oily liquid distilled from wood tar. It 
contains phenols and creosols. An exceptionally pure form is used in some 
cough syrups while less pure forms are used to coat or are pressure injected 
into wood to make it resistant to rot and insects.

It is sometimes used to refer to a coating of tar.
