Not just the salmon either!

Your property looks great & I would love to see a photo of your home!

The salmon is the best I've seen!

Beautiful! How long can one cold smoke salmon at temps above 40*? I've been reluctant to go over 4 hours or so. I would love to try some smoked as long as you got!

Thanks for sharing.
 
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
