Fresh Coho Salmon

Unknown

Help!!! Our friends are bringing over a piece of salmon that I am going to smoke on our BGE. I have never tried any type of fish before. How long should I cook and what kind of wood chips should I use and should I wrap it in foil? This past week I have been smoking Hatch Red Chile peppers all week and they are turning out GREAT!!![p]

BBQ Billy,
Nicegoing on the score! Since I tend to overdue things I suggest just lightly coat them in a little olive or peanut oil then sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and maybe a few dill sprigs.[p]Use something light for smoke preferably alderwood or maybe light cherry or apple.[p]For one plus inch thick steaks of fillets I'd go about 300 indirect for about 45- to an hour , try to increase temp from 200 to finish temp as this keeps fat from curdeling up to the surface of the fish to a minimum.[p]

BBQ Billy,
We eat salmon quite a bit. I use a little EVOO and DP Raging River. I use one or two alder chunks and cook it at 350 on a grid extender until it looks right. It is great...tom
