Smoked Salmon

[ckkphoto]

brined overnight in a salt/thyme brine,
it is out smoking now at 200 or less in the pouring rain. I hope the temp stays consistent cause it is coming down in SHEETS.

Will have to check on it soon cause I need to baste it in garlic butter. Wish I had some Dill to sprinkle on it.

Only problem with cooking smoked salmon for dinner is that my better half only buys one at a time, and we could eat about three of em.

I'd finish inside rather than deal with it in the rain, it's proly got plenty of smoke by now anyway. I'm anxious to see how your salmon comes out because I have been planning to do some myself. Ever cold smoke any? Thought about that too.

Try seasoning with Dizzy Pig Raging River and/or glazing with maple syrup sometime. I like that Hi-Mountain Gourmet Fish Brine. JCA

The texture was perfect, but the driving rain leached water down into the firebox and so the smoke taste was not so great. I usually do pretty well with salmon, but kinda hard to argue with mother nature.

I hear thunder and see the squall line racing toward us on Lake Michigan....
