    IU Fan, I do mine indirect @ 250 dome temp for appx 3 hours. I use alder or fruitwoods. I pull it off when it's firm to my liking.[p]You may also consider brining before smoking which can really do some nice things to the salmon. This take planning though.

    Borders,[p]You don't need much brine time for filets. I combine 2 quarts water, 1/2 cup salt and 1/3 cup sugar. Heat just until the salt and sugar are dissolved. When the brine is cool, immerse salmon filets for one hour. Remove filets, pat dry and cook. Total time: around 90 minutes.[p]Ken
