My wife decided that she wanted salmon for dinner,and thought she would cook it inside(since it was getting late).I said "hell no",I can preheat the medium before you can get the salmon ready.The race was on............I ran to the barn for the(new favorite egg lighting device)weedburner :woohoo:

About two minutes later(had to stop for a beer) :woohoo: I was ready to go :laugh:

I went in to see if she had the fish ready,and I got a surprised look,(I really wasn't ready)"no".Oh well,I'll get another beer,and you just tell me when you're ready :whistle: ..................Finally :lol:

    Hi Doug! Hey, I love the flame thrower :evil: . Is that hooked to a propane tank or is it hooked to one of those Bernzomatic type tanks (those blue ones)? I've been using my small shop vac in blower mode when I need a fast fire but that involves stringing an extension cord. As far as the salmon, I was never much of a salmon fan until I got my BGE and did the DP recipe. My wife usually ordered salmon when we went out to restaurants but since she had salmon on the Egg, she won't eat it in a restaurant anymore. Just one more way I spoil her :whistle:

    What stacking?

    I think you're just scared of the mini.

    Become one with the power of the mini....have faith in its abilities....reduce your carbon footprint....but just don't light it with the weedburner unless you like the two-tone handle.

    I hear ya Brian,my wife doesn't like salmon anywhere but here anymore.It's some good stuff(if I do say so myself) :woohoo: Anyway,the weedburner is awesome.That was my first time :blush: ,but it was cool :evil: Mine is hooked to a 20# propane tank,but I've seen them hooked to the smaller camp bottles.Can't wait to play with it again :whistle:

    Alright Fidel,next time I'll use the mini(if I'm not racing) :woohoo: In my "houseless smokehouse",I would have to drag the mini out,then the torch,then I would need a beer or three :lol: Before you know it,the race is over :pinch: Once the smokehouse is finished,I'll use the mini more(I promise) :laugh:Especially now that I've got a platesetter and cast iron grid for it :woohoo:

    Thanks. With a birthday and Christmas coming up, I can put it on the "wishlist". BTW, enjoyed seeing the photos of your smokehouse project over the last few weeks. Always admire you folks that can build stuff.

    Thats a swapp. My wife is always trying to figure out how I can do it on the Egg so as not to heat the oven up. :laugh: You will be sooooo happy when you get the Egg shed done and not have to do all that running. ;)

    why not just use that weed burner to cook the salmon? They do that at sushi restaurants with a creme brule torch. good idea btw.
    i used a leaf blower through the bottom vent and got it boiling hot pretty quick a few weekends ago... like an afterburner.

    Doug, that Salmon looks great, it has always been one of my favorites, but I have never made the DP version (cuz I never had the rub before this weekend). Tonight in between taxi-ing the girl back/forth to dance class I will be stopping into Sam's Club to pick up one of those giant sacks of individually vacuum packed salmon filets, I want to try this dish before the week is done
    happy in the hut
