OK, I did that for you BakerMan.
The visiting daughter ordered hot smoked salmon this weekend. 50 freaking $ worth of salmon fillets were put on a cookie cooling rack, lightly rubbed with EVOO and then heavily coated with Treager's Sweet Rub. They were then refrigerated, uncovered, for almost 24 hours.
Before smoking the salmon was allowed to sit on the counter for about 30 minutes. One of the pics shows the amount of moisture that drained off overnight.
Done indirect, with a pan full of water for humidity, at about 150 for 90 minutes until just registering 130 throughout the fillets. Allowed to cool on the counter, covered with foil, for about 30 minutes before we couldn't resist. It will be even better tomorrow after refrigerated.
Used apple chunks for smoke.
Served on crackers with cream cheese, cucumber and onion. There is no way to describe this batch other than gently cooked. Very moist and mild, but the rub added a bit of kick. One fillet held together pretty good for refrigerating, and the other really fell apart into big flakes. I suspect if presentation was important I should refrigerate before handling.
Pics to follow. A lot actually, so be patient for me to get them loaded. If I don't do it this way, I can't see them afterward for some reason.

You said you cooked at 150 for 90 minutes. How do you get you temps that low? The salmon looks great and I may just try it tonight, I just won't be able to let sit for 24 hours.Cheers

I normally can only hold around 180, tonight just was a good night.

Wow, I have a lot of learning to do. I am still chasing temps. I think it comes with experience. Not sure if I can get my temps that low and hold but I am going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.Cheers

Wow, looks great Doc! =P~ Did you use the ooze method as a second opinion to the 130*?
