Never had smoked garlic. What temp and for how long do you smoke it? Best usage?

In this case, 40 minutes at 225 then 20 at 375. Use it to replace fresh garlic. All of the same flavour but with a Smokey depth that introduces some sweety flavours from caramelization.

Can you freeze this and still keep flavor?

100%. It’s a tiny bit drier than fresh garlic but I freeze these then put them in the microwave for 15 seconds to thaw as needed.

Do you use this differently than regular garlic?

It’s a little drier than fresh garlic as it’s cooked garlic. But it infuses wonderfully. Think of it like smoked mushy garlic. It’s really strong in flavour. But it depends on how well the smoke penetrates so your mileage may vary.

As a garlic addict with unreliable disability, how long does this keep if frozen & how much do you recommend per batch?

I usually do batches of a dozen. I don’t know for sure exactly how long it’ll keep, but I’ve gone 3 months on a batch
