Smoked Salmon

Caught on our recent trip to Alaska, I planked 2 last night and dry brined 2 filets for smoking today. I tell you, Iove the Egg but trying to hold 175 is a chore. If this turns out good, I'm thinking about the Little Chief smoker just for this kind of stuff. Anyway, using a Stoker I finally got it settled in at 180 as anything lower the fire would go out. I spent very little time prepping the Egg, just poured my lump which was the bottom of the bag so I'm sure that was part of the problem. Anyway, 180 was the magic number of this smoke. Oh yea, alder for smoke. Couple of pics with more to follow. I'll report back on flavor tomorrow.
After the overnight cure and during the drying period. Starting to form that hard pellicle film.
Looks worse than it is....high mark is 184 and the low is 177. Not bad overall.

Have you tried the "Amazin smokers". Pellets and a tube or maze. I hear they work well for the cold smokes. I am salivating thinking of the fresh caught salmon. Enjoy.

I haven't. The last thing I need is another cooking/smoking device so if this works, I'll most likely stick with the Egg. Sure smells good. Can't wait.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

It is an accessory for the egg. Aftermarket. Not too pricey.4Runner said:I haven't. The last thing I need is another cooking/smoking device so if this works, I'll most likely stick with the Egg. Sure smells good. Can't wait. -
