You said you had trouble getting the pellets started. If you get a Electric heat gun it will start the pellets better and faster than anything out there. I have a wagner i picked up used for a couple of bucks. Even new they are cheap. If you give it a try it will spoil you.

I am new cold smoking fish. First of all your fish looks great. My question is that you don't have to use a cure (sodium nitrite) in your dry cure.

Welcome aboard!! And a AMNPS is a cold smoking unit that you can use in combo with your current smoker or on its own. Its really a amazing little smoking unit. Here is a link to Todd's website so you can check it out!!!

Your post comes out like a statement instead of a question. I try my best to always now cure if i am going to smoke with low temps.

I have smoked fish for years using only salt and brown suger and recently started using the cure in a brine because gov rules say always to use cure. I did not notice any difference in flavor and or texture so why not take the extra step for safty sake and use the cure.

If i dont use the brine then i use TQ for the dry rub.

Good luck and stay safe and enjoy

I really can't wait to do some cold smoked salmon since it has been years since I had some good lox. My only question is, does salmon not need to be cooked to any particular IT to be considered safe?

exhaustedspark · Dec 9, 2011

That is why you salt cure it first. then you cold smoke it for a long period of time. by doing both of those things you are removing moister that cause bacteria that can cause your salmon to spoil.

Wow that looks great! The old Swamp Yankee who first taught me about smoking told me that for fish you wanted the heat to feel like a warm summer day. I look forward to trying your approach
