OK.....pulled 6+ pounds of King Salmon which we caught last year, out for some Nugget making. Brined the nuggets in a 1/4 ratio of non iodized salt over dark brown sugar with lots of fresh garlic, for 4 hours.
Process from right to left.
And while I'm processing nuggets, I'm watch fishing programs on TV.
Salmon on the bottom is sliced from two Salmon tail pieces,,,,,,turning into Salmon sticks.
Air drying for 2+ hours. Wait! 6 racks for a 5 rack smoker? see below :-)
First hour at 130* Second hour at 150* Third hour at 170* + until a IT of 140 is met
Modified smoker by replacing the stock non adjustable 450 watt element with an adjustable 1100 watt unit. Also note the AMNTS on the right with a steel plate separating it from the hot element.
Note the 3rd rack down. I needed to smoke 6 trays but in a 5 tray smoker. Didn't want to pull out another smoker just for this So I pulled out a rack from my propane smoker which developed into the ability to add a rack between the existing trays.
And here is a recent pic to whom all of this it is owed to..... since she brings home most of our fish. Love you girl!
