Once again it's meatless Friday in our house. Even though last Friday's pizza was a success my wife wanted fish so I decided to try my hand with smoked salmon. I used a fish cure that was made with brown sugar, kosher salt, cracked pepper, dried dill and coriander. I applied the cure wrapped in plastic wrap and off to the fridge for 4 hrs. I got my egg stabilized at 350 deg. so that I could season a cast iron dutch oven and a cast iron frying pan while I was waiting for the salmon to cure. Four hrs. later I had 2 seasoned pots and one cured salmon. I set my plate setter for indirect heat through two handfuls of Jack Daniels wood chips, placed my fish and veggie grid sprayed with Pam over the grate and place the salmon on the grid. 25 min. later I flipped once and then another 25 min. the salmon was done. Much to my and my wife's surprise the salmon was not dry and tasted excellent. I am putting another notch in my belt for this one.[p]
Just put on the grill

    Retired RailRoader,
    Salmon is one of our favorites, the whole family likes and agrees on. We like it direct at about 450 deg on an extended grill. Since I have 4 daughters and a wife I am always in the minority but everyone agrees that the Dizzy Pig Raging River is great on salmon. Yours looks great and I am just ready to put my salmon on the large, the veggies with Dizzy Dust on them is already on the small. I enjoy seeing your pictures and posts.

    Retired RailRoader,[p]You definitely got a handle on it railroader...I wouldn't need nothing else either. My Grandaddy retired from L&N with a 20 year gold watch (that you had to open) and a 40 year silver one you didn't...bet no one would be surprise by that - unless they wuz a lot younger that us.
